Bullet teaser video

A video teaser for the Hunt the Truth campaign was discovered today (3/20/2015) and there's no indication in the community of where it exactly came from. I'm sure someone found it through some trial and error of sorts. As it isn't from an official source (Waypoint, Xbox, etc.) just yet, I'm not going to put a single mention of it on the page until we get a proper reveal. How does that sound for everyone else? Helianthus — All right. Shoot!

Yeah sounds fine.Sith-venator Wavingstrider (Commlink) 21:10, 20 March 2015 (EDT)

All of the videos are being taken down by Xbox right now anyways so we had one of those smooth move things going on. Helianthus — All right. Shoot!

Video is up on Xbox's youtube page, so I think we're in the clear to add it.Sith-venator Wavingstrider (Commlink) 00:49, 21 March 2015 (EDT)

Date and Discarding Sabot

Two things: shouldn't the date be "Monday, March 23, 2015 at 1:00am UTC"? And did anyone else spot the Discarding Sabot 'fall' out of the barrel behind the bullet... If that's the level of detail we're going to get, I'm impressed, to say the least. 82.27.24.49 15:06, 22 March 2015 (EDT)

I just noticed the date error, I'll change it now. Thanks for posting. --Monitor Chakas^{(Talk|Contribs)} 23:00, 22 March 2015 (EDT)

Yeah, the sabot actually being a sabot is a really cool detail. Conveniently, it also allows the bullet to have no rifling marks, so the words can be on it. Alex T Snow (talk) 00:26, 23 March 2015 (EDT)

Transcripts

I'm quite happy to write the transcripts for future episodes when they drop, no doubt we'll need to add dates, names etc. to other articles as well. I figured that way we wouldn't all be working on the same thing at the same time. --Monitor Chakas^{(Talk|Contribs)} 05:27, 23 March 2015 (EDT)

Sounds good. - NightHammer (talk) 16:16, 23 March 2015 (EDT)

Just about the transcripts, how is Di/eon's name spelt? Do we have any kind of official source? Jarmatus (talk) 00:53, 6 April 2015 (EDT)

Deon.SamGall (talk) 01:11, 6 April 2015 (EDT)

I originally went with Dion, but changed it to Deon after a tweeted image of a boxing club card with his name on it surfaced. The link is on Deon's page. I wasn't able to completely verify the image's authenticity, but without evidence that it was fake, I just went with it. If we get further indications of the spelling, we can always change it.-- Rusty-112 Admin ^comm 01:13, 6 April 2015 (EDT)

Also on the topic of names - I notice Meshach Miradi has been renamed Meshach Moradi, but I can't figure out why - there are no new cites on the page and there's not an explanation in the edit history. Could someone please clear that up for me? Jarmatus (talk) 00:54, 13 April 2015 (EDT)

The spelling is given in this image. Not exactly sure where it's from, but it's probably legit. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 00:59, 13 April 2015 (EDT)

I believe the image is from some Twitter account that is used by 343i to release Hunt the Truth media and the like. - NightHammer (talk) 16:08, 13 April 2015 (EDT)

I am a little wary on the Twitter account. We have not had any confirmation other than someones(MoreConsole) word that its real. Never directly a 343i employee. - CIA391 (talk) 21:32, 13 April 2015 (GMT)

(reset indent) Yeah, that's what I've heard too. I'm not as up-to-date on the Hunt the Truth stuff as I'd like to be, but I've also heard that 343i and Microsoft (and their employees) favorite the account's tweets too. Still, I'm not too sure of the legitimacy of the account. - NightHammer (talk) 16:52, 13 April 2015 (EDT)

I'd just like to know where it is. The new spellings are all coming from this account but because I don't know where the account is, I'm spelling these things wrong. Jarmatus (talk) 20:47, 13 April 2015 (EDT)

Did a little digging and found these accounts. These accounts seem to be the source of the boxing card and the video call image. Again, I'm not sure of the legitimacy of these accounts, but they are being favourited by 343i and the like. - NightHammer (talk) 21:33, 13 April 2015 (EDT)

No favorite from any 343i employees or the official Xbox account or the official Halo account as rumors said that I can see. I cross checked it. Maybe they made a mistake and faved it by accident earlier on. Then to then unfav it.

Plus the second image has Petra's name on it hinting she would appear at some point. If she does then the images are maybe real. I am weary about the second image as it was released before episode 3 and Petra hasnt appeared yet to our knowledge.

Aka what I am trying to say is. If the images from the twitter accounts foretell a event. Like maybe Petra appearing then maybe we should consider adding them on here, if not then I would say they are not real. Does that seem fair? Unless we get a direct confirmation that is- CIA391 (talk) 12:42, 14 April 2015 (GMT)

Is Parisa Katrina

Do you think that Katrina is Parisa from Palace Hotel? - EpicZealot1239

Voice actors

Has anyone been able to find any official sources for who voices each of the characters in the podcasts? It's pretty clear that Mshak Moradi is voiced by Kumail Nanjiani, that Petra Janecek is voiced by Cobie Smulders, and apparently Ellie Bloom is Tara Strong, but without some sort of official sources to cite we can't add that info to our articles.-- Rusty-112 Admin ^comm 00:53, 29 April 2015 (EDT)

Steven Blum may be voicing Jacob Walker. I don't have sources to back that up though; the character just sounds like Blum characters from dubbed anime. --S.g.ali (talk) 04:32, 29 April 2015 (EDT)

"Petra Janecek is voiced by Cobie Smulders" I knew she sounded familiar! I second Blum as Walker, he's very distinctive. Almost as distinctive as Gabriella Dvorak being voiced by Jennifer Hale. I really hate these "not-quite-confirmed-enough-to-list" situations; hopefully we get a full cast list when it's over at least. Alex T Snow (talk) 16:37, 29 April 2015 (EDT)

And who do you think voiced Mendez? --They're coming. They're hungry. (talk) 21:00, 29 April 2015 (EDT)

Well then. Any ideas on FERO? Alex T Snow (talk) 18:10, 17 May 2015 (EDT)

Janina Gavankar for FERO and Stacy Keach for Mendez. - NightHammer (talk) 18:14, 17 May 2015 (EDT)

Ah, there's an official cast list now (saw it on your FERO edit), thanks. :) Alex T Snow (talk) 18:39, 17 May 2015 (EDT)

Hunt the Signal worth its own page?

I am curious what you guys think of this idea. I mean Hunt the Signal and Hunt the truth are by now their own things due to the amount of content both have. Loosely linking together. Should a new page for the Signal stuff be made to handle it? I can handle the heavy lifting of that page after the competition is finished hopefully.- CIA391 (talk) 23:42, 15 May 2015 (GMT)

I think it deserves its own page. It would help divide the content and make both pages easier to view. - NightHammer (talk) 18:52, 15 May 2015 (EDT)

Yeah I guess it deserves it's own page. I made the subsection not knowing how much info we were going to get. Though I will be putting it under Hunt the Truth in the list of appearances sections like I did for the trailers.Sith-venator Wavingstrider (Commlink) 18:54, 15 May 2015 (EDT)

If the topic can't be covered sufficiently in this article, then yes, it should have its own separate page.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 23:17, 15 May 2015 (EDT)

Hunt The Truth Season 2 idea and request

Should we make a page for season 2 and all its relevant info. Seeing as it might get a bit bulky with having Season 1's blog/transcripts/twitter stuff sharing the same pages as the season 2 stuff.

This also ties into my request to get the blog/transcripts/twitter pages for Season 1 to be renamed with a prefix of "Season 1" just so nothing gets mixed together - CIA391 (talk) 19:58, 4 September 2015 (GMT)

Why don't we make a page for seasons one and two, and even a general page for Hunt the Truth? Would be easier to organize it I'd think. --NightHammer^{(talk)(contribs)} 17:07, 4 September 2015 (EDT)

An umbrella page for the whole Hunt the Truth campaign with links to the different seasons, Hunt the Signal, and other auxiliary media sounds good to me. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 03:26, 5 September 2015 (EDT)

Ari's Voice Actor

Do we have a source for Ari being played by Mark Hamill? To me, it sounded like he was played by Bruce Thomas. Toa Freak (talk) 21:19, 6 October 2015 (EDT)

I agree. It's been fixed. --Our answer is at hand. (Talk to me.) 21:39, 6 October 2015 (EDT)
