A strange website has popped up called view.engage.xbox.com that has something to do with Halo 5: Guardians and the Hunt the Truth marketing campaign. The site presents a starry image of space with the words "The Hunt Continues" at the top. At the bottom of the image is says "April 25-28. Worldwide". It seems something interesting is going to happen as Microsoft/343 Industries appears to have something planned for the next few days. But what could it be? More activity come from the Hunt the Truth tumblr page? A trailer or gameplay video? Who knows. When looking the image it doesn't seem to show anything of any significance other than the words "Benjamin, hunt the truth" can be seen if you close enough. But if you move your cursor across the image some areas can clicked bringing up some images. https://rapidxbx.blob.core.windows.net/h5ot/005-01342ba379894c80a9946faf94eda360 https://rapidxbx.blob.core.windows.net/h5ot/063-7a8ae4a2bfde4183934adcbfc5bea8c1 https://rapidxbx.blob.core.windows.net/h5ot/027-7ce6d54331564aa1a50b90bcdb0392b6 One image shows something that resembles a marble like surface. Another image shows what appears to be something that looks like the side of a cliff or the inside of a cave. The last image shows a metallic object, possibly a piece of armor or a part of a vehicle? So what does all this mean? What is going to happen between now and April 28th? Let us know your thoughts on this. View full article

According to and (unable to find official sources at the moment)Halo fans have the chance to become an official part of the Halo universe as they are given the chance for their voice to be included in Halo 5's Hunt the Truth. Fans and followers of Benjamin Giraud's investigation into the Master Chief can be part of the series as it appears 343 Industries are giving people a change to submit an audio clip of their voice to Hunt the Truth's Tumblr page. Those who get accepted will have their voice heard in a future episode. The announcement came earlier today. "We know that you're a huge Halo fan- and we love it! For this part, though, you'll need to put yourself in the mindset of an ordinary UEG citizen. That means you're as in the dark as Ben is about the truth behind the Master Chief and his origins." Three choices on what participants can theme their recording around was also given out. THE PART YOU'LL PLAY There are three character types that these messages will roughly fit into: 1- People who support Ben in his hunt They also have questions about the Master Chief, ONI, and what the government is trying to hide. Don't forget, though, that because these people live in the Halo universe, they've never played a Halo game or read a Halo book; so they can really only be curious and guess what Ben has mentioned. 2- People who LOVE the Master Chief and don't appreciate Ben poking around The Halo universe can be a scary place - and the MC has been the only thing keeping us safe on more than one occasion. Fear can be a powerful motivator. It can make us blind to the truth; to curiously. These people don't appreciate Ben poking around and angrily perceive his inquiries as disrespectful. The MC is a hero and it doesn't matter where he came from. 3- People reveling in the anarchy Whether it's because they don't trust the government, they're fatalistic, or they think Ben and his investigation is a joke- these people aren't impressed by Ben or curious about the Chief. They are interested, however, in pushing Ben's buttons and yanking his crank. They leave pranks, taunts, and mocking messages. Voice recordings must be 15 - 20 seconds long. You can upload it as a Youtube video but make sure it is uploaded as "Unlisted", you can also upload it to SoundCloud but make sure to make it private. Once you've recorded your voice provide a link to ir in the submission box on the Tumblr site (linked above) so it can be downloaded, also make sure to leave a message saying "Greenskull sent sent" or "Halo Follow sent me". Submissions close at 11:59pm Pacific Time on April 27th. There is no script so try and think something creative to say. Again I just want to point out there is no official announcement from 343 Industries or Microsoft regarding this, so it seems they have contacted the likes of RUL and Halo Follower for them to announce it to the community. Will you be making a submission? If so good luck. View full article

Thank you Fishy this means a lot. I'm glad to hear my contribution to the forum has made you happy in any way. I know I've been going MIA quite a lot lately but I'm going to get back into the swing of things again and also interact with the members more. This year will also mark my 4th year on the site and 3rd year on news group, the time sure has flown by. Oh and I've been thinking about the challenges also and I hope to get another one out soon, maybe do a really difficult one and give the winner a golden shamrock or clover. Anyway thanks again Fishy I'm honored to be mentioned. I thought the same as Twinreaper and feared this was a goodbye thread.
