Poor Ben. What an incredible finale and overall awesome show. This should really be the bar what quality every Halo fiction have to reach. 343i should really award everyone involved in this project, after Nightfall I never thought they could pull this off so great
So Season 2 with Cobie Smulders will lead to the H5 release later this year?

Also, Ben's last line on Episode 12
'...and this has been - Hunt the Truth'
The feels man! And that sinking feeling knowing that he was gonna come a cropper.
Major props to everyone involved, this was really brilliant.
With this kind of quality, audio logs could work brilliantly in Halo IMO - a mechanism provide backstory and exposition for those who want to dig in. This might be a nice compromise between cutscenes (which I have to guess are more time consuming and expensive as they are both audio and visuals) and something like the Terminals; especially the ones in Halo 4 that directed you to Waypoint - I will really be bummed out if logs/terminals/videos etc are NOT in game in Halo 5, the Waypoint thing was immersion breaking and really took you out the game IMO.

I was too tired yesterday, but #HuntTheTruth was really really well done.
The voice acting was just amazing, the story was pretty good, but the twist at the end was a little disappointing, in my eyes. However, that twist at the end can open up several oportunities. Wether it's Season 2 of #HuntTheTruth or something Halo 5 in-game related.
Judging by the quality of #HuntTheTruth's (and Halo 4's) voice cast, I look extremely forward to the voice cast of Halo 5. Chief, Arbiter, Locke and Buck already have awesome voice actors and I'm excited to hear the voices of Blue Team. Hope it's awesome.

The HtT stuff seems like something Locke would deal with as he hunts MC. Always felt more of an ODST style thing to have the information there and you had to hunt it out. MC just does stuff!
I hope they are terminals, since that would help flesh out the reasons for being there.
Certainly makes you Hate/Love ONI.

ONI is definitely a love/hate relationship.

I'm so curious about who the voice actors are for Blue Team ahhhrrgghh
They will have to nail everything about Blue Team for the lore fans. Them appearing in a game is a huge responsibilty. People will be heavily disappointed, if they don't do them justice.
The worst thing about Ben in HTT isNot only is he probably dead or worse, his name is also ruined. So he didn't leave behind a legacy or anything, everything was just pinned on him and Benjamin Gireaux is no more than a crazed traitor in the public's eye.
It's up to Petra now to restore Ben's reputation and expose the truth.

Doesn't matter what 343 does with them... At least three people in this thread will have something to complain about.
I can't even fan-speculate over who I want to do their voices. I'm trying to stay as vanilla as possible.

So have to give major props to the team behind this, really well done and interesting peice of work!
This has been the best peice of lore to come out of what has been a disappointing use of the halo universe for quite a while for me and makes me excited to see what's next

Yes all the voice actors and writers did a tremendous job.
Can't wait to see what you guys are showing today. Little tease on GAF?

This was all so fucking great. Excellent job everyone involved. HtT has been the highlight of my Sundays (and/or Monday mornings) for weeks now and I can't wait for Season 2.

There is going to S2 for Hunt the truth as well.

Not confirmed yet. The phrasing (Season Finale) suggests it, but that's still speculation.

How can we not confirm it when Petra said she will continue to 'hunt the truth'?....
I mean.. there are plenty of signs saying they will continue the series. I shouldn't have to provide that for you.

Holy shit,

i expected a happy ending to this. It was still a great series and I love it though... Caught me way off guard.

Well that's what I meant, yes...

I really am looking forward to Petra's hunt (read: mission) for truth. She seems dedicated to it in ways that Ben hadn't been, which I think will make for some interesting developments, on top of the fact that she isn't "messy" like Ben.
Can't wait!

Yeah my bad. Once I saw the name Sam my eyes stopped and I proceeded to freak the fuck out.

It's starting to sink in that there won't be an episode this Sunday....
Or will there be?!
God I hope so.
Or at least a tease.. a.. something.
It'd make sense to have a new website too.
Shoulda asked Frankie about this at E3, dagnabit.

At first glance, it may seem like your hope is nothing more than a fan's wishful thinking, but there may be more to it than that
This week's Canon Fodder has a nice little tid-bit at the end, that could easily be read into in a positive way...
"Until next week Live well, play Halo, and always, always, Hunt the Truth."
Now they're just toying with our emotions!

So
Ben is dead? What about the 2 girls chief knew as a child? Are they dead too? What happened to his home town? That girl's message cut off =/ Is ray & his family dead? What ever happened to the theorist guy? Was that odst vet really a plant or just a guy that took a bunch of money to turn on ben?

Is there going to be one today or is it unknown. God I want it to continue until release it helps with the waiting.
No word on when season 2 will start.
Go outside and enjoy the sun.

I won't enjoy the sun until Ben does.
