Halo

[Corporal Hicks]

Argh. I still need to get the Fleet Battles game. I wanted them so badly but just never got around to buying them. The Ground Command looks fun too.

I started reading Shadow of Intent last night. I'm about halfway through it and actually really enjoying it. Got really into it.

Shadow of Intent seems exactly like my kind of book !

Shadow of Intent seems exactly like my kind of book !

I finished this last week. Wonderful read. I really enjoyed it. Would recommend it to you. Hope to see more of the characters and would love them to explore these new Prelates they introduced.

New Canon Fodder !

Highlights:

- a look at Halo: Reach's Special Collector Editions
- "Stasis", a map coming with the "Memories of Reach" update

What's Halo: Reach's Special Collector Editions? A re-release of Reach?

[Murfy426]

I'm sure they already released Reach as a backwards compatible game not that long ago, I'm just too damn excited for Emile's armour which is called simply 'Wraith' now that armour is state of the badass art!

What's Halo: Reach's Special Collector Editions? A re-release of Reach?

No. It's the Limited Edition of Halo: Reach that came back in 2010. You know, the one with Halsey's journal, documents, photos and the Noble Team statue.

Grim talks about the extra documents in this Canon Fodder (although briefly). Most of it are just transcripts for those who couldn't get them.

Don't set your hopes too high. They're just recycling bits from the lore. 

I'm sure they already released Reach as a backwards compatible game not that long ago,

I think it was either December or November.

Currently reading Shadow of Intent. Will post my thoughts as I finish.

[Corporal Hicks]

Awesome! I was worried we wouldn't be getting any new novels for a while. There'd be no announcements.

Grey Team are gone! I wonder if we'll be finding out more about their encounter with the Didact.

[Randomizer]

There's no official announcement about the stories yet, but we'll get more info (hopefully) in the next Cannon Fodder. The thing about Gray Team is just a rumor I picked in the process. 

The structure/ship in the corners of the cover piques my interest though. I can't tell if it's Forerunner or not.

[Corporal Hicks]

I'd guess so from the blues.

[Randomizer]

If I tilt my head slightly I can make out some UNSC-y arhitecture right there, sorta.

By the way, there's been a Twitter post which seems to confirm countless rumors that...

Spoiler

Brian Reed will be doing the Gray Team story. So we're 100% sure on this?

Spoiler

There goes another Spartan team...

sigh

I'm in a bit of a hurry so I can't link the source but it was somewhere on the /r/HaloStory subreddit.
