No one's mentioned this, but in Halo: Fractures there was a short story written by Reed based on the aftermath of Halo 5. It's not much, but some of you might find it interesting.
World-affecting spoilers: [sp]One of Cortana's Guardians showed up in Sydney as Hood and Osman were being evac'd, an EMP blast knocked out several ships in the region and it's hinted that after they crashed the resulting explosion from their reactors could have destroyed Sydney. A distress call was picked up by a probe Hood launched, a (insurgent, I think) ship that refused to ally with Cortana was being attacked by the Warden Eternal. Infinity responded confirming that they would help them out, and the feed cut out. No word on Osiris, Blue Team or Sanghelios.[/sp]
Character-affecting spoilers: [sp]Osman and Hood are alive and safe, although Hood's become an alcoholic since the evac and is drinking away their three-year supply of booze. Black Box refused to join Cortana and stored a bunch of military AIs and himself in an explosive-lined case to prevent Cortana from turning them. Osman is considering either destroying them or letting them go free, comparing them to the victims of the Spartan program. The Senkar AI (Hunt the Truth season 2 for those that don't remember) is coming along well, and BB's shared some of his remaining space with her/it.[/sp]

I'm hoping this is referenced in Halo 6 at least

This isn't a reference. This is the set-up.

He never said it was a reference. He said he hope it is referenced in Halo 6.
Speaking of which, from the very little I've heard it's theorised that [sp]BlackBox is the AI[/sp] that does the intro and outro for that Halo lore book that come out, which would mean that [sp]It's stuck on the Ark and is about to deal with the Banished in Halo Wars 2.[/sp]

It's not Black Box. It's a brand new character entirely that was [sp]left on the Ark after Guilty Spark played GTA with the UNSC Rubicon. Its intended function was to record all Forerunner knowledge possible, but after Guilty Spark's aforementioned antics a wrench was thrown into that plan and the AI is preserving its work (Mythos) before killing itself.[/sp]
I wonder why Sydney is the HQ of the UNSC
I wonder if Halo 6 is just gonna keep truckin' on despite the mess of Halo 5, or if they're going to take extra measures in the writing this time, because you'd think their writing criticized in Halo 4 wouldn't get worse over time.
[sp]and maybe they'll not fucking rewrite the game late into development and completely fuck over its own advertising campaign by contradicting it near-entirely[/sp]
so I got this in a daily pack

I hope someday 343 will look into making some prequel books/games to the whole pre-Covenant War-era, when Humanity still was in a major war within the Sol system and hadn't become the empire it is during the main time period the games take place in.
It'd be a good way to flesh out the lore more while going into the backstories of lots of major characters/organizations, like Misriah Armory and the UNSC/UEG.

That's really what the original goal of Halo: Evolutions and Fractures was, to flesh out the rest of the Halo universe and give insights into places we'd likely never see otherwise.
Mini-rant: [sp]Unfortunately with Fractures someone at Microsoft or 343 didn't get the memo that you're not supposed to make your book a fucking advertisement for other books that aren't out yet.[/sp]
new breakout! you start with shotguns instead. now that I think about it, I think old breakout is better

That's Godzilla.
Hold up, are people modding in Reach armors into this to replace 4 and 5's shitty designs?
Halo 5 has Noble Team's armor.
[QUOTE=RG4ORDR;51135824]Hold up, are people modding in Reach armors into this to replace 4 and 5's shitty designs?[/QUOTE]
All of the Noble Team armors (except Noble-6's, I think) are available. A month ago a 3D render of CQB was released by a Liquid Development modeller, which means it's on the way too.

Then there's the Mk IV in all its glory.

There's also this Spartan that was on the menu screen for Halo Wars 2 Beta. No idea what the armor type is, could be that they retconned the old Mk VII armor (which isn't bad, it was basically purple Reach armor)

So long as 343 stops the shitty writing (Joseph Staten is back at MS and done with ReCore now, so there's hope) and continues going back to the old artstyle, Halo's future is bright.

Bruh the game just came to pc a few weeks ago, ain't nobody even extracted models yet, let alone injected them

Noble 6's is there too as the decimator.

Well this is a pretty good haul. Fingers crossed I get a decent cosmetic in my Silver REQ...

I knew the Halo 5 armours were missing something.

Crotch armor always looked kinda goofy.
[editline]3rd October 2016[/editline]
Also, I thought they did have crotch armor anyway? Just not the G-string variants like in these ([I]old as shit[/I]) renders.
