The story potential here is immense. Literally a decade plus of build up to see the Blue Team in action. I remember even before Halo 2 and 3 hoping Blue Team would show up in the end of those games - but they never did. Now it looks like its finally happening.

Ive always wanted to see an evil spartan in the games - or spartans on opposite sides. Looks like that happening too.

Bring on Halo 5.

So...who's going to die first? Any bets?

Sadly I can see 343 doing this for some cheap characterization which will put us lore fanatics into a fit of rage while the general populace is left wondering why they should care that some random spartan just died.

 

[kittens]

I really really really hope they do a decent job of introducing Blue Team in the game, tho. Most people will think they're totally brand new characters. It could seem really random and off putting.

 

[Bornstellar]

Here you go:

So blue team is 3 spartans, lockes team is 5 spartans?

"Then it is an even fight."

If they have a Spartan-IV kill a member of Blue Team they're going to be sooooooooo many angry fanboys.

Their tears will be delicious.

Arbiter.

Arbiter die? Were it so easy.

I could see Blue Team going down in a Bolivian Army Ending to buy the Chief time. Done right, it could work.

Blue are 4 if you count Chief with them. But yes. Locke's team has 5. I am not expecting 5 players co-op tho. Maybe someone is just the intel guy.

If someone from Blue Team is going to die, I won't accept anything less than the full Johnson treatment... 3 Games and a heart-wrenching moment at the end.

And it better not be Kelly or so help me god, someone will die

Yep, it better be something incredible.

Better than Johnson tho, pls. Taken out by Guilty Spark is no way to go.

I'm talking about them facing down an entire army, here.

Spoiler

Though really, that's a best worst case scenario. I'd prefer if they stick around too.

I don't know, I'm pretty sure Locke only had a four-man squad in the H2A cinematics...

This. Having them in just one game (or worse, a part of a game) would be terrible waste.

Although, I'm more of a Linda fan

 

[Dr.Parity]

Oh wow, they are really bringing in the old books with Blue Team being part in this game.

Although last time I read about blue team was Ghosts of Onyx where they teliported into a Dyson Sphere, so I'm probably missing a big gap between now and then.

You should at least read Glasslands to catch up then

Yes. Also you do get to see them in Escalation comics.

 

[Paradicia]

Just realized that if there are four on both teams, there's a strong possibility of us having 4 player co-op from the perspective of each side. :O

Heres the thing. Chief needs a new group of bros to go through the games with. Keys is dead, Miranda is dead, Johnson is dead, Cortana is presumably dead, Arbiter has his own problems to deal with. In the new saga, Lasky fits as a bro; but Lasky can't hold all the roles himself, so Blue Team should fit the rest, its only reasonable.

• Linda

[Mix]

Everyone on blue team looks like they're blue/grey with colored accents, example, Linda has red stripes and Kelly has yellow ones, what if Chief ends up in the same color configuration? I know there is a 0% chance, but it's an interesting idea.

It does look like there's somebody else there with Locke, though, a 5th armored figure. Check down and to the right of him, there's what looks like another foot.

Also, Macer is probably on Locke's team.

 

[HighResTomato]

Would this mean that there won't be any solo Chief mission? I always thought Chiefs old Spartan buddies were dead, and after Locke's team reveal I wanted it to be 4v1.

Ah. I see that. Interesting.

 

[killer rin]

I stared at this screen for what felt like an eternity. I was one click away from tucking my tail and being the good dog Sullivan hired me to be. Or I could take door #2 and crack this story wide open. Just this one click that would determine the rest of my life. I guess you know which path I chose.

Hey. Maybe it will be like GTA V. Everyone lives their own lives and only come together once in a while.

Wasn't expecting that, damn.

 

[Toa TAK]

Wow.

So cool.

Mendez is voiced by Stacy Keach, I think.

Dude is boss.

 

[Twin Tails]

Would you like to rephrase the question?

 

[Bsigg12]

Could John's ability to

integrate with the augmentations have to do with the geas from the Librarian?

 

[Poodlestrike]

You guys think this is really Mendez?

Could John's ability to

IIRC, that's mostly bullshit; they didn't really go over it, but John didn't really acclimate much faster than the rest of the recruits.

 

[Bsigg12]

You guys think this is really Mendez?

I would think so with how quickly he got swept away.

 

[Toa TAK]

Would you like to rephrase the question?

Man if only he got the chance to do so.

 

[LordOfChaos]

With this rate I'm assuming the whole image should be filled by end of day?

I wonder what days 2 and 3 have in store for us! Also new Hunt the Truth audio tonight...

Man, I'm this hyped so long before Halo 5 even launches, I'm not sure if either my adrenal gland or Microsoft can sustain it for that long.
