Only 3 more days (well maybe 2 actually) until the release of Halo 4, the first Halo game 100% created by 343i and the first in the 2nd trilogy of the series: Reclaimer Trilogy.
I'll be honest I am actually pumped up for this game considering everything I've heard and read about it (mostly below). I wanted to share info about Halo 4, discuss the game and the entirety of the series itself even the offshoot games ODST and Wars. I also want to know your opinions of what you think of the seires and the upcoming game.

My friend just told me that Foward Unto Dawn was awesome, so thanks for compiling the information.

The opinions of reviewers color me interested, but I'm willing to wait until the last of the trilogy before I'd give it another go.
I still think this was pretty shameless:

It is quite an interesting series to follow so your friend is correct. You're welcome, I will be compiling more information as I can.

Might be waiting for a while until the Trilogy is over (by then another Trilogy, which honestly makes me have mixed feelings about)
Yeah that is pretty low, but eh, what can ya do? I'll be honest I'm gonna be using that Mountain Dew thing, but not like some people are. I'm just entering codes I get from what I normally get, plus a chance at some prizes isn't so bad.

Double Post sorry
Gonna be adding more information as I can tomorrow, I don't know when I will get my copy, so it may be sparingly on the info
Also the ending of Season 10 finale of Red vs Blue, just wow.

The whole thing is quite interesting, although the scene interactions such as climbing kind of resemble the gameplay within several of the latest Call of Duty Games.
But, what the fuck happened to the Arbiter? Why the fuck is his race still carrying on the Covenant religion even though their Great Journey meant their end?
[spoiler]Cortana dies at the end... I'm so sad QQ[/spoiler]

You know how Bungie's Halos used some of the book's information occasionally, yeah Halo 4 does that in Spades, it's explained in the book Thursday War

Halo 5 is supposed to be as dark as Gears of War story-wise.
Espect lots of feels, gore, and horrible things to happen.

I thought the Covenant were dead when Truth died. But, wasn't there a civil war between the Elites?

The Covenant were disbanded
not completely destroyed
the civil war between the Arbiter and Covenant is still ongoing
