Drizzy_Dan Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 It's come to my attention just recently that we don't have a dedicated thread for talking about the beautiful Canon Fodders that our Lorelord GrimBrother One does his absolute best to put out for us on a weekly basis to give dedicated Halo Universe fans that extra pinch to get them through this wait for Halo 5: Guardians. Each week Grim does things like answer community lore questions, interview writers and other employees from 343 Industries, and lets us know when Universe entries have been added or updated. He even gives some hints in his Canon Fodders for what's to come sometimes. This is why he is our Lorelord. The latest Canon Fodder - Infinity & Beyond - was a really juicy one. We got a good interview with Duffy Bourdreau, writer of Halo: Escalation, about what some of his favorite parts of working for 343 are and about Escalation of course. Grim went more in depth on Fleet Battles which is really starting to pique my interest! This week we finally see BB's in-universe appearance, he is as you would imagine trust me. And Iona's entry was updated but don't read if you haven't read Saint's Testimony yet. Which you should have! It's only a dollar! Lastly though, something that I mentioned earlier was about how he even sometimes leaves hints in his Canon Fodders. He saw us off by saying, "If you're hunting for details on other upcoming Halo fiction, you'll probably want to turn in next week, just saying." His wording definitely teases at Hunt the Truth Season 2! I'll post weekly links and anyone interested can discuss here. Cheers lore lovers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconShelf Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Not going to lie, I'm loving that we got the classification of the Infinite Succor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Same but I'm actually more interested in The Minister of Etiology. And Hunt the Truth Season 2. I'm very eager for this next Canon Fodder. I hope he answers some community questions too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buns Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 My favorite part was a little tease of the Ground combat equivalent of Halo Fleet Battles(which I still want) and that makes me so happy to see 343i continuely expanding their board game presence. The best [art was the *maybe* inclusion of optional rules that allow you to play both games together. THAT IS FANTASTIC. Seriously we need more Halo Fleet Battles discussion.

BaconShelf Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I'm waiting to see how much money is left on my card after the release of Halo 5 and Fallout 4. That will determine how quickly I get fleet battles. I don't even want to play it, I just want the models of the ships. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo6 Follower Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 As a massive Warhammer 40K fan I am surprised that I haven't already picked up Fleet Battles, despite seeing it in store a lot. Like Bacon said, i'll have to check the finances after Halo and Fallout release. Great idea Doge! I'll make sure to "follow" this topic (Geddit?) Looking forward to more updates 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconShelf Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Meh. Little on the light side this week. Even on the universe articles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Meh. Little on the light side this week. Even on the universe articles. I was really looking forward to some info on Hunt the truth 2.. Also was hoping for a little info on the whereabouts of some prophets but I guess that's what Shadow of Intent will be about. Starting to wonder if we're even getting hunt the truth season 2 this month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-truth-testimony Loved the content this week. Frankie's last reply made me giddy. I also liked how Petra's Universe update mentioned her helping Ben in his story but didn't mention her capture which we heard about in Hunt the Truth season 2 at that point already.

Drizzy_Dan Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-a-time-to-give-tanks Last week we got model names for some of the variants of Covenant we'll be seeing and this week we got the same but for Humanity's side and I love it all. A lighter Scorpion, a tougher Mongoose, Gungoose with grenade launchers. Too good too be true. Love the new universe entries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-sending-out-an-sos Main focus on Sangheili this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinWarrior Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 SoS getting fleshed out as a faction = Amazeballs SoS getting fleshed out as a faction = Maybe HW2 MP faction? I'd be happy to see it. I'd love to see some different classes though, SoS Hunters (the red hunters in Warzone maybe based on them like the elite in the SoS banshee?) SoS Jackals, and maybe SoS themed weapons? Swoot DD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Wasn't sure if it was possible but Grim actually one-upped the last Canon Fodder this week! https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-locke-load Model names for the weapon variants and currently used weapons for UNSC and Covenant and awesome new Universe entries including one Kamchatka, the setting where the first mission is played as Fireteam Osiris.

Drizzy_Dan Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-fauna-getaway This week Lore Lord Grim gives us the names of the fauna life forms we find on the settings scene in Halo 5: Guardians during Campaign and multiplayer such as the flying creatures of Genesis and the whale-like creatures outside of Fathom. There are also some great Universe entry updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIA391 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 I'll start posting these in a weekly basis if everyone is cool with that. This week in Canon Fodder is Issue 91. COSPLAY. CANON. CAMPBELL. This canon fodder goes over cosplay, and undersuits you will see in multiplayer for Halo 4 and Halo 5. This is a great update. I admit I am a sucker for info on armor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIA391 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 This week in Canon Fodder is Issue 92 - Halo-ween handoff This canon fodder goes over summaries of Tales from Slipspace. But the real meat of the update is not in the canon fodder but in the Blitz interview. Seeing the awesome look of the new Hellbringers is well worth it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted October 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'm really looking forward to Blitz. Admittedly the original beta was not so fun for me probably because I sucked at it because it didn't play exactly like the first Halo Wars but I'm really happy they're doing a Blitz beta. Canon Fodder was good this week! Bravo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIA391 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 After over a month hiatus. Canon fodder returns. And oh boy isnt it juicy. Issue 93 - Red Rift This canon fodder has a lot in stock in it. Including the return of fan favorite characters in a upcoming story called Halo: Envoy. And a interesting interview with several folks involved in Halo: Tales from Slipspace. Enjoy folks. I am totally hyped up for 2017 now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted December 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Merry Christmas peeps, here's last week's CF which contains more backstory on Ripa Moramee (the Arbiter before Thel) and the Brute Chieftain from Halo Wars. On top of other details, there is also a nifty PDF version of Halo Wars: Genesis which will be added to our Community Dropbox soon.

Drizzy_Dan Posted August 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Last week's Canon Fodder dubbed "That's So Raven" was focused on the new action arcade game by 343: Fireteam Raven. Some might know and some may not but Fireteam Raven was present on Installation 04 while the Master Chief was off killing hundreds of Covenant and Flood beings on his own. Surely that wasn't a man-made cave. I loved the background tidbits about each member to bring a little more to their character. I have yet to experience the game however. The Canon Fodder also brought these great images: Full "That's So Raven" Cannon Fodder link here: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/thats-so-raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo6 Follower Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Stop posting in dead threads, Drizzy. Topic locked. ;D Jokes, jokes. That third piece of art with the Elite is fantastic. Why haven't I seen these before? They're really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
