Thanks for joining up, bronies. We are now an Active company at 6 members strong.

I'll probably post another blog closer to launch or after launch.

And 343 just put the entire soundtrack on Soundcloud. I believe I'm a little moist.

And we begin week two of my daily Halo photography!

My third week of Arena REQ bundle packs got me my sought-after Rex visor. Best shade of purple yet!

Could use a partner for story. I'm on mission 3 of I think 15.

Without a doubt, Fiesta Slayer is the most fun I've had with Halo 5 since launch. I'm gonna be playing this all week.

Although for me, it's probably going to be around 10, since the restaurant doesn't close until 1, and we'll probably have people coming over from the midnight release across the street.

Brady will undoubtedly beat me home, I've told him to play Warzone and stay out of the campaign until I get there.

Reviews are in. In short, the campaign has its ups and downs, and multiplayer is just one big sustained high note. I'm hoping we're playing this for years.

As you know, after the big conferences, the rest of E3 week is used for more in-depth gameplay demos on the show floor.

And every single year, gaming journalism sites post videos of these gameplay demos featuring players that don't have a clue what the fuck they're doing. I'm cringing pretty hard at some of this Halo 5 Warzone footage.

To be honest, I've been playing absolute craptons of Halo 5 ever since it got released last year. Y'know, instead of trying to write because lazies. Like, multiplayer Warzone is quite amusing once you manage to stockpile enough weapons in your inventory. I absolutely suck at the game, though. Can't shoot worth a damn. But one day, I managed to go on a killing frenzy by miraculously managing to get my Req energy high enough, shoving way too many speedboosts onto myself, running around like an

For my second Daily Halo, I have for you folks, quite appropriately, a two-fer.

During a Warzone Assault match tonight, I discovered an opponent using the recently-discovered exploit where you glitch into the armory wall.

I trekked back to our secured REQ station and obtained my solution:

Not sure what problem one of my teammates had with my chosen nest in Team Snipers, but I tricked him into betraying me three times. I booted him so fast I saw his Spartan drop dead on my killcam. And we still won the match.

I never thought it would be possible, but at 96 members, the Spartans of Equestria are close to reaching the 100-member max.

I'm also 7 games away from 200, so if you're wondering where my story updates are... Yeah...

I'm Level 37, and I'll probably make a hard push later today to Level 40, where the "Officer" promotion packs begin, Silver instead of Bronze. I've spent a small chunk on REQ packs, along with oodles of in-game points, and have obtained 25% of the customization cards, but no recon helmet yet, unfortunately. 199 games so far, and I've also achieved Diamond 3 on the SWAT playlist.

Don't mind me, just challenging myself to take at least one Halo 5 screenshot a day for every day in March, while I level up and hoard REQ points until I go on another spending spree.

One pistol whip in Swatnums, and over the edge he goes.

Don't worry, there won't be 31 blogs of just Halo 5 screenshots. I'll post other fanfiction-related stuff as well.

I wonder how a shieldless, headshots-only mode with SAWs would play.

We could call it SAWT.

Lean back, relax, and they'll come to you.

In other news, my Shadow of Mordor campaign progress is at 87%, so I know I'm close.

The Brand ability has made the Nemesis system even more ingenious. I now need to brand the five warchiefs, and nothing is better than strategically setting it up so his multiple bodyguards are on your side, turning it into a slaughter.

This isn't going to end well for either of us, pal.

Like video game photography habits.

Grifball, then and now. 2008 and 2016.

Thank you for finally providing us with gameplay footage of an entire match of Halo 5 Warzone.

Plot twist: This is a competent player, who knows how to aim, who doesn't ignore the radar, and who in the end, clinches the victory.

This felt so fucking good.

This exploit has been known for a few weeks; you tilt a warthog on the wall, then get out, and you'll drop down INTO the wall, making capturing the Armory impossible for the attacking team.

Bullets and grenades don't get to you, but luckily, a Gravity Hammer does.

We went on to win the match.

I've been watching my in law playing halo 5 and it looks awesome

...Older and more nostalgic for Halos of the past, but Warzone Firefight hasn't really impressed me.

ODST's Firefight was perfect. It was about... Oh yeah, survival. And at least in Reach, grinding for credits in Firefight was somewhat fun, and you could solo it if you wanted.

But here? Either go in with a fireteam, or you'll have to match with randoms.
