    Hunt the truth (season one only) is some of my favourite audio media of all time. I listened to it weekly when the new eps would drop. It was so engrossing and even to this day the soft bell chimes that serve as the series main theme still gives me chills. And the ending still breaks my heart

    What a great journey this was. Highs, lows and middle grounds. I never did grow up with halo but I won't deny that it's an awesome series. I dunno if anything halo will be revealed tomorrow but if something does get shown, damn, I wanna hear your thoughts on that! As for next time......from one sci-fi galaxy to another....but not just any galaxy...... it's THE galaxy, one we all grew up with. I dunno how you plan to tackle that given that YT is....well stingy with copyright stuff, but I will be there to see it. A new and improved..... retrospective on a galaxy far, far away.....

    Halo died and was no longer halo after 3, odst, and reach; just like how diablo stopped being diablo, really, after 2. It doesnt matter if the newer games are better now, they took your money when they were shit, and some still are shit. Stop supporting bad publisher and bad business practices. Stop rewarding the wrong people; I want good games again. Does ANYONE remember when shit like metroid prime and cod 4 and resident evil 5 were ideal new games? Shit that was fairly priced, full game packages that offered genuinely complete experiences? Innovative, creative, made with player enjoyment in mind? Fuck. People buy such shitty games today, no wonder all we get are disappointments and scams.

    You could say that the narrative of Halo 4 had two ''villains'': the physical being the Didact and the looming one that constantly hangs over the game is Cortana's rampancy.

    I loved Spartan Ops so much, I wish they kept Spartan Ops going into future games. It was so ahead of its time as a concept. Spartan Thorn became one of my favorite Halo characters very fast. I wish he was in more. Apparently he was intended to be in H5 as a member of Osiris and I wish that was real.

    Not sure if it's false or true, but apparently 343 haven't finished tarnishing the lore of Halo and will be "remaking" Halo CE to also play on PS5 and a certain CZcamsr is wetting himself with hopium glee.. If it's true: I'm Fully Done with Halo as a franchise/IP. I was SO gassed for Infinite I can't even put into coherent words, especially after hearing it'd be set on Zeta Halo. The most ancient most mysterious most history revealing ring out of the Halo array, but was also still Very skeptical of 343 and the pile of trash heap that was Guardians which would be continued on in Infinite. True to 343 fashion and style, they retcon Everything from their previous game (off screen, mind you) and gave us a lacklustre, bland, open world with nothing to do, terrible A.I on enemies, a retconned Cortana Again, the most powerful UNSC ship that even the Didact, a Forerunner couldn't stop, but gets obliterated within 5mins by Brutes who separated from the Covenant??!!... Really?! A cliffhanger ending with no continuation in sight at Any time soon. Missing characters. Missing staples of the franchise like Marines, ODSTs, other UNSC ships.. Hell, I've seen people say The Flood isn't the be all and end all of Halo.... Err, did you Not play the original trilogy?! They are a universal, not galactic threat that could consume the ENTIRE universe, plus, there are Still flood spores and combat forms on the Halo rings scattered throughout the galaxy, not to mention the Graveminds consciousness existing beyond space and time where even if one is destroyed, it's consciousness just finds it's way to the nearest mind giving That next Graveminds more knowledge wisdom and cunning. The Endless will be replaced offscreen and the Infinity will be back to its original state and Chief will probably have left Zeta Halo behind... All off screen ofc.

    Does Halo 5's multi-player trailer have a nod to Red vs Blue? ( A red team fighting blue team) I know that Red has a close relationship with Bungie, to the point that they have small easter eggs in Halo 3 and 4. Then again, it could be a coincidence and I'm just assuming things.
