Hey everybody! Based on images from the latest picture-puzzle search that’s been going on in tandem with the #HUNTtheTRUTH campaign - I think it’s finally safe to say that BLUE TEAM IS CONFIRMED FOR ‘HALO 5’!
Here we clearly have: Linda-058, and John-117 and Kelly-087 (though the figure on the left might also be Fred-104)*
Words cannot express how happy I am to see this happen. I think this presents so many amazing opportunities to push the narrative of the games forward in terms of exploring the Chief as a character and in familiarizing all Halo fans with aspects of the Extended Universe that have existed since Halo’s inception but haven’t gotten to share the limelight.
What do you guys want to see happen with the Chief and his squad in this next game? Let’s discuss! 
*Thanks to Trio of Kings for cataloging all the images as they come out.
(Yes, I already posted this to the ‘Halo 5’ forums…but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to spread the word here too - got to keep up my reputation as Waypoint’s most extreme Blue Team fan, after all.)
I wouldn’t get too excited yet. I mean we all know it might happen but nothing is confirmed, plus they keep changing Blue Team’s armor so we don’t actually know what they currently look like.
I’m cautiously optimistic. Cautiously, because I’m hoping they aren’t being brought back just to be killed off.
Looking forward to seeing the full image.
“Blah blah blah 343 is systematically erasing Blue Team.”

Yeah, I’m sure it’s just luck that the spartans line up perfectly with blue team, right up to the light thing on Lindas shoulder.
Not srs.
Man I really love the look of those armours, so -Yoink!-! I’m so thirsty for info now omg.
Halo community will go -Yoink- if anyone on Blue Team dies. Anyways I’m happy to see them coming to a game finally, unless it is to their demise.
I don’t think Blue Team will not be in Halo 5. If 343i does not put them in the game at this point (after that poster) then I will be very upset at them, that would be beyond messed up. But yeah 343i wouldn’t do that. Blue Team is finally confirmed! I am beyond excited!

Btw GreenLeaf, given your extreme Blue Team craziness, you wouldn’t happen to be running the John and Kelly shipping URL on tumblr are you, haha…

Alright, alright…take it easy now. I let that go a long time ago you guys. 
But hey, of all the things I could ever be completely and utterly wrong about - I’m glad it was that.
Here is an updated collage of most of the images we got today, by the way: [image]
You can now see Linda’s legs, the Chief’s helmet and feet, and Fred (just barely) crouched down to the right of where Kelly is.

And there’s going to be more tomorrow. First time I’ve been hyped up for a Monday
Thanks for the updated picture! It looks like the teams (at least Locke’s, not necessarily John’s but it is possible) have five people. Locke’s team has a wide space that a fifth person would naturally fit in, unless the sniper dude on the very right is in a Jun position and his sniper is taking up the free space. Also I see the “war spinx” thingy, whatever it is, so thinking that might be a problem in game. One of the Spartans on Locke’s team look feminine, my bet is that it is Tanaka.

There doesn’t seem to be room for a fifth person on the Chief side, as most of that space has already been filled. But the big gap between Locke and the guy bringing up the rear (presumed to be Buck, based on the ODST-like armor) is suspected to be filled by the Arbiter: video (fast forward to about the 25 second mark)
