I'm guessing he is hinting that the new Halo will feature a new group of protags with Master Chief being one of them. (Like if you added these new super heroes to Iron Man).

Different colored chiefs aka Spartans lol

I'd also rage if it's a teaser/countdown to the actual reveal.
 
If it's actually something good why would they do it at 3am. Makes no sense. Unless that is pacific and just some embargo lift on Something

It makes a ton of sense, these lifts and reveals go at midnight. Typically 12am pst or 3am because 3am is midnight in hawaii. So it's officially the next day in the last portion of the US.

Embargo is at 6am EST

Which is 3am pst and midnight in hawaii.

Not sure if it's been covered, but both IGN and GameSpot have something going up at 3AM PST, so yeah, basically confirmed to be legit.

It's probably just "Halo 5 will arrive in 2015" so they can dodge the disappointment about this at e3. They are basically ripping every bandaid that could be interpreted as negative off before e3. Kinectless would have overshadowed a lot and a 2015 H5 release would have also overshadowed the good news a bit. They need to win big this year. They need to be on ign, gamespot, gametrailers and so on as having the best showing with only good stuff coming out of it. It's actually a smart move.


That said, I'm a dumb little boy at heart so I'm setting myself up for disappointment and fully expect a 10 minute gameplay demo with immediate release of a demo on xb1 ;)

How many hours left btw?

3 hours and 50 minutes as of now.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the Guardians reference is actually a secret remark about the 'Guardians' in Destiny, and that it was posted in a Halo OT as a way of saying MS moneyhatted Destiny and it is now an XB1 exclusive.

I'm totally fucking kidding guys, we all know better than that. In seriousness I'm going with the Master Chief in Killer Instinct season 2 idea myself.
 
My bet is that a Halo TV / Movie trailer will be attached to Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Would be good timing and a nice cross promotion.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Thats more confusing than his typing. What to make out of this. Some crossover in Halo games? Halo and Gears meet together? lol

So I'm assuming this is the thing we may or may not find interesting that was hinted at by Stinkles yesterday?
 
this is probably tv show related... the first trailer for the Halo live action series released?

Have they even found a director or revealed casting choices?

They've said that the Halo Digital thing will be this year but that could easily be not live action.

^love it

Alright, no point in making assumptions, but I am open to the potential that the hint implies. I was let down by Reach, especially because the squad just felt like incompetent sponges, rather than anything close to fellow Spartans.

Christ, Palmer and Thorne best be nowhere yo be seen.

Iron Man looks like he's reaching for Gamora's cape, maybe it has something to do with the cloak that Chief was wearing in the last Halo trailer?

Maybe a Xbox All Stars Battle Royale? Only thing I can think of... Not that the characters really make a lot of sense, but then Big Daddy isn't really Playstation either.
 
So...next Halo has MC recruiting/working with a band of warriors (another Spartan/battle tested ODST member, one Convenant, one Promethean) to face off against whatever the Didact sets into motion at the end of four?
