Well since no one has done a proper article on it I guess I will be the first. It's become common knowledge at this point in the day that Forge Island is available for download on the Xbox Live Marketplace. 343i did say at their panel in PAX East that Forge Island was ahead of schedule and could be releasing early but no one predicted it would be this early. Gameplay footage from PAX can be found so you can know what it looks like. Find the download link on the Marketplace here: Xbox Live Marketplace Download. View full article

Another great display of art from Destiny, love the captions you provided too adam good job buddy !

Whoaaa Azaxx beautiful coverage of the Destiny Art, this is great display.

I'm down for the unofficial Play Date too!

There's totally gonna be a Halo Wars 2 but I think it'll take place during the current times of Halo whenever that will be in the future (if that makes any sense to you). Here are some units and pictures of their concepts that were taken out: UNSC Cougar UNSC Fox Cannon Covenant Air Artillery Covenant Gorgon UNSC Falcon (fighter not VTOL as BaconShelf mentioned)

This is incredible! Beautiful work!

Explain sir!

Choot 'em is the king of these. He used to run these same threads back in the day. In fact my mind is blown at Choot's response haha

Wow excellent explanations thank you I feel like I'm starting to understand this book without having to read it just like the other ones haha. One more question: It's stated here that the Gravemind the Ur-Didact was dealing with was not really a Precursor at all and that he was being transcended thoughts from the real Timeless One, the last Precursor who is in hiding. What's the story with that? Also yes I'd love for you to explain on Faber becoming a hero of sorts.

I haven't read the book so I wouldn't know but if it doesn't say that Halsey is the reincarnate of the Librarian then I wouldn't just assume it. HOWEVER I know that the Librarian implanted gei into the humans and I'm willing to bet that Halsey has the geas of the Librarian seeing as she can interpret Forerunner symbols with no idea how. I've also heard rumors going around that John the Master Chief has the geas of the Iso-Didact and although we haven't seen too much proof I think this is a very plausible idea. 343, whether people like to think so or not, have an awesome story to tell and are master story tellers. The Halo 4 campaign was the tip of the tip of the Mount Everest that is the Reclaimer Trilogy and with the books also coming out to give more information, everything ties together very well. I agree with you on Guilty Spark and I agree with you to a degree on the Flood being Precursors. I haven't read any of the Forerunner Saga but I know a lot about it other than Silentium, and so far it's sounded like the Flood was a product of the Precursors or the Precursors turned into the Flood, again not sure. Can you explain about how Bornstellar's still alive? And which Didact was executed by Faber in the previous books?

It hasn't come out yet, it comes out April 8th.

You must complete the game while connected to Xbox Live all the way through

This isn't the first time I've seen the hypothesis of Master Chief having the geas of the Didact before however this is the best I've ever seen it put. There was no evidence relating the two earlier but this post brings up interesting ideas. I haven't read any of the Forerunner Saga books but I do know what happens in the first two. I don't think what the Librarian did to Chief would speed up his evolution to make him a Forerunner but maybe it would evolve him into a human like the ones during the times of the Forerunners.

This game will be just as big as Halo. It already looks beautiful, Bungie's taken the time to finish and polish this game, the idea of traveling from world to world in our own Solar System is exciting. There's so much going on. This game will overtake any Halo in popularity when it comes out I think. But Halo will always reign supreme
