No One Wants to Be on My Team or Hear Me
The Master Chief Collection can sometimes be a little tricky to navigate when you have five full games tied together in one user interface, and it seems many of the people that get together for our 'HBO Customs' nights may not always fully understand how to accomplish certain functions. After a conversation this week, General Vagueness put together a video to show interested parties how to easily change teams and voice channels. Great idea! (MacGyver10 22:03:19 UTC)

Halo sales now on level with Netflix subscribers
Gamespot discusses the latest sales milestone hit by the Halo franchise: 65 million units sold. That's a pretty big number! (It also means the sales of the Master Chief Collection are below 5 million at this point, since they were at 60 million in October of last year, before it launched. Still a really big number.) Thanks, Gravemind. (Headline, for anyone who cares, comes from here.) (Louis Wu 15:21:32 UTC)

A Halo 5 Skinned Xbox One
At Comic Con this year, you can once again win a custom Xbox One! While there are many different console variations you can win (PvZ: Garden Warfare 2, Gears of War, Madden, etc), there is a pretty Halo 5: Guardians themed console with the Master Chief and Lock up for grabs! Urban Reflex! (MacGyver10 19:05:01 UTC)

Hunt for the Truth: Following the Trail of the Halo 5: Guardians Story
Gamespot seems to think the wording of a Halo 5: Guardians panel at the San Diego Comic Con is hinting at the long-talked about, never seen Halo TV series with Stephen Spielberg. Here's the panel description, straight from the Comic Con event schedule.
'The panel will bring new insight into the mysteries surrounding the Master Chief and build connections between the stories that have been told so far, and sneak peeks of the stories yet to be told in game and beyond.'
Thanks Urban Reflex! (MacGyver10 18:57:50 UTC)

No plans for a Reach Remake
Phil Spencer was a guest on IGN's Podcast Unlocked during E3, and one of the things he said was that it's unlikely that a remastered version of Halo: Reach will be made before Xbox One backward compatibility makes it available.
"It doesn't keep us from doing a remaster or something, but clearly letting people play Halo: Reach and any of the first-party 360 games that they want to play is part of what backward compatibility is about. We don't have a plan right now for a remake of Halo: Reach. I suspect it'll be a backward compatibility game before we ever even think about doing a remake."
Worth knowing, if you were hoping for its future addition to the Master Chief Collection... (Louis Wu 22:30:44 UTC)

Detailing the sides
More content from Game Informer: Two articles in the past few days have fleshed out the teams we'll see in Halo 5. One discusses Blue Team, the Spartans that work with Master Chief, and the other focuses on Team Osiris, the team headed by Locke to hunt MC. Give 'em a read! (And if you hadn't gotten around to reading the print copy of the Game Informer cover article, it's online now.) (Louis Wu 14:43:59 UTC)

Update Xbox One coming next week?
Apparently, Amazon might have leaked a 'refreshed' Xbox One that should be hitting the streets next week, to coincide with Microsoft's Press Conference at E3 - it's Halo-related because one of the features is a digital copy of the Master Chief Collection. Sounds like a pretty good deal, if it's true! (Louis Wu 22:39:17 UTC)

Canon Fodder - HEV-en Sent
This week's Canon Fodder contains an interview with Joe Staten, discussing the recent release of ODST for the Master Chief Collection. It's a pretty interesting read! There's also a reminder of Sadie's Story, which was fantastic the first time around and should be a blast to revisit, as well as a roundup of ODST-related fiction, and a link to the MomoCon panel with Steve Downes and Keith David. All in all, a packed issue! Go check it out. (Louis Wu 22:07:19 UTC)

ODST not releasing on May 29th
It seems that the May 29th release date for ODST was just a placeholder. It's not quite ready, my friends.
A placeholder release date for the ODST campaign for Halo: The Master Chief Collection was inadvertently listed on the Xbox Store. (1/2)
— Halo (@Halo) May 27, 2015We continue final testing and will make an official announcement once our release date is determined, and apologize for any confusion. (2/2)

Possible Halo 5 Limited & Collectors Edition Details
It looks like Gamestop Italy leaked the Halo 5: Guardians Collector's Edition. According to the leak the Limited Collector's Edition will cost $249 and will ship with a commemorative statue, which I'm assuming will have something to do with Spartan Locke and Master Chief. The Limited Edition version will cost $99.99 and come in a steelbook and will feature "new digital content to increase the combat capability of the Spartan". For $249 I should be getting Mjolnir armor! Thanks, Urban Reflex.
