I'm sure by now we've all experienced the Hunt the Truth not-quite-ARG for Halo 5. The general concept alone is intriguing but for 343i to bring back such an obscure character is nothing short of amazing - a great example of the plot archaeology I've come to expect from them. It's also thrilling to hear Keegan-Michael Key in a serious role. I'm so used to him being funny it's kind of a shock, sort of like Keaton!Batman supposedly was in the late '80s; I'm totally on board with the choice, though. And what's this about anomalies in deep space? I think we all know where Halo 5 is headed. --Our vengeance is at hand. (Talk to me.) 12:20, 23 March 2015 (EDT)
- And I thought they had done something spectacular when they brought Petra to Escalation... Good. I like 343's choices. Imrane-117 (talk) 14:21, 23 March 2015 (EDT)
- Looking at the site my train of thought went something like follows: "Huh, so there's yet another war journalist who saw the Chief in New Mombasa... Wait a second, 'Giraud'? That sounds familiar... oh, right." That is some genius reuse of an existing character right there, and the casting is indeed spot on as well. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 14:45, 23 March 2015 (EDT)
It's going to be curious to see what this "untold backstory of the Master Chief" will be. Will it be the same old child soldier story we've heard since The Fall of Reach? Or are they going to retcon in something new and strange? Or is what we'll hear even necessarily truthful? Who knows so far.
With Giraud now back, perhaps 343 will let us know soon what happened to Maria-062. Hopefully it won't be through "death by Catalog"... Tuckerscreator(stalk) 14:30, 23 March 2015 (EDT)
- I think it's a given that we can't take everything we hear at face value as this whole campaign seems to be about keeping people guessing. So even if they introduce some all-new backstory through Giraud's podcast it should take more than that to overwrite what we've known for 10+ years.
- It's apparent 343i have become a lot more careful with Catalog, at least when it comes to revealing character statuses. It's unlikely they'll off anyone in a forum post anymore, though Team Black-style killings are still possible. I, for one, fear for the safety of Blue Team in Guardians. Though it's obvious they won't get as unceremonious deaths as Black did, it is possible that they're there merely as loose ends to be tied up. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 14:45, 23 March 2015 (EDT)
