Halo 5 Guardians - Promethean Weapons, Escalation, and Covenant Remnant

[VinWarrior]

The upcoming Xbox One shooter Halo 5: Guardians has had a host of new images reveal features and details of the highly hyped game!

 

Recently, GameInformer.com posted a wealth of pictures revealing new details about the game, which you can find in a huge information dump provided by Self Destruct. Since this, new images have surfaced revealing a wealth of details about Halo 5: Guardians and it's story and features. For starters, the Covenant Remnant, a fanatic cult separated from the now broken Covenant order, will be returning in some old ways. Images show the genetically modified Jackals and Grunts looking mostly the same from Halo 4, however, the Elites have gotten a few changes to their armour and it's ranking as Zealots seem to now be white and green and much taller than typical spartans, likely due to their genetic modifications.

 

 

Next up, Promethean weapons like the Boltshot, Suppressor, and Incineration Cannon are returning, with balancing changes but little aesthetic variance to date, coming from an anonymous source, confirmed by Frank O'Connor on Neogaf.com. Finally, a new cover has been released for Escalation issue 22 on HaloPedia.org which will launch on September 23rd and follow Spartan Palmer and others as they track down Halsey. This will be an official sequel to the story told in Spartan Ops. And finally, Spartan Jun's voice actor confirmed over Twitter.com he was not called back to voice his character, meaning an appearance by Jun is unlikely unless in cameo form, or maybe he's lying to us... Nah.

 

 

Anyways that's all for now guys, below are a bunch of other pictures for you to look at showing off Spartan Tanaka for the first time in-game as well as Blue Team renders. Enjoy!

See how dat Spartan is about to Bakestaybe dat Jackal? I taught him that. 

 

We already knew Promethean weapons would come back to a degree with the Light Rifle being in the BETA. However, I see "It'saNukeWE"REDONE!" (Incineration Cannon) Has Returned, so yay big explosions. This also (99.9% (of germs)) Confirms that Promethean's are in the game. I wonder what they are doing differently with them this time around...

 

Also, whoever is on Blu team in that Slayer game in the suppressor pic: For shame.

If the Incineration Cannon really does charge up to make an increasingly more powerful boom... I'm going to die. In heaven.

 

Good article, broi.

Actually, Halo 4's Jackals are Ibi'eshan Kig-Yar that simply come from another area of Eayn. Halo 1-reach jackals are Ruuhtian Kig-Yar and also come from another location, as do the T'vaon (Not sure i that's spelt right) Skirmishers.

 

The Unggoy seen in Halo 4 are actually a more pure demonstration of the species, with those seen in Bungie-era games actually closer to being gen-en as they have grown... Weirder over the centuries due to some stuff that makes them more suitable for Covenant service.

 

Also, that escalation arc starts in two (three?) weeks, and is the six-part story of the absolute record arc (After Jul/Halsey win the Janus Key) that will conclude in November, a few weeks before Shadow of Intent.
