We’re in Seattle this weekend for the 2018 Halo World Championship and with the return of MLG to the Halo Championship Series, it has been quite the spectacle here at CenturyLink Field Event Center. We’re recording this episode in the morning of championship Sunday where Tox (formerly Optic Gaming) looks to defend their undisputed reign over Halo 5. We are pleased to join Tazzman from Bad At Halo Show and JKFire from HCS Pro Talk for this exciting episode.

Another short news week, but we’re back to talk about the few nuggets from the last week. With community guest Bobby B444, we talk about some of the things in Halo 5 we could see making the transition to Halo 6 and some things that don’t. We’ll have more conversations about these things after HaloWC, but in the meantime, we look forward to what next weekend brings.
There’s a strange thing happening in Halo Wars 2 right now with Yap Yap THE DESTROYER wreaking havoc on the game’s mechanics. If you head into multiplayer, you’ll instantly see Yap Yap’s influence and his units having some heavily boosted abilities. In other news, the HaloWC Latin American Finals have concluded, and Dust Storm has moved and gotten hitched.
The time has finally come for Dust Storm to leave his home at 117 and move on to married life. As cause for celebration (and a little bit of shed tears), we are reminiscing the time spend over the last two years and everything that has happened in that time span. We gave away a lot of Halo gear too, for those tuned into us live on Mixer. We’re excited to see what the next few years of Halo brings us and are very thankful for our fans and listeners who are along for the same crazy ride as we are.
Since Grim snuck in last week’s community update after our last podcast, we’re sneaking in one of our own to talk about the Chief Concerns update. We get more information about Halo: Bad Blood coming out later this year, celebrate Master Chief’s birthday and have more community highlights.
Halo: MCC has another development update addressing some of the community’s most burning questions and wishes to see come to the game. While the team would love to incorporate everything we want, there are some ideas that will be included or patched in and some things that will be left to future updates if feasible given the game’s architecture. Another comic book three-issue miniseries has been announced: Halo: Collateral Damage, which will follow a mission of Blue Team somewhere in between the events of Halo: Fall of Reach and Halo 2. We’re also catching up on last week’s community update.
We’re diving into another Halo novel and this one connects quite a few of the other Halo novels together. The Kilo 5 trilogy, New Blood and Halo 5’s campaign all tie into this podcast’s book of discussion, Legacy of Onyx. Taking a new perspective on the Halo universe, we get to see the events unfolding at Onyx through the eyes of children along with the standard Covenant or Servants of the Abiding Truth and Spartans viewpoints. This has become one of our favorites among the published Halo works, and we’re looking forward to the ties this book has into future novels and titles.
