I’m very confused at what time the live launch starts because I’m in a a different Timezone. Can you tell how long it will start from right now? Thx

4

do you fight with the arbiters forces in any mission

#HUNTTheTruth Master Chief! If you guys doing anything to him, I will slowly crawl in to a whole and cry with my Master Chief Halo 3 game case!

  1. Are there any plans for future Story DLC?

  2. Are there any plans for a future Spartan Ops or Firefight mode? Or can there be a PVE mode designed using Warzone assets?

  3. We know that future DLC maps are free, can we expect new gameplay modes or new weapon/vehicle types in the future?

  4. Who would win in a fight? Frankie or Deej?

The last one was a fun question but PLEASE consider the first 3.

Why is the KDA equation K + (A / 3) - D?

This asserts assists have 1/3 the value of kills, which is arguable, but deaths are the results of kill and assist actions so I’m wondering, why the departure from a ratio?
Making deaths an object of subtraction in a running total seems strange. My suggestion: (K + (A/2)) : D

I think the prevailing effect is that people who aren’t familiar with the new stat associate it to be KD/A, and assume it’s a bug.

  1. What is the projected ETA for BTB?

  2. Janina said she’d be releasing a HTT season finale trailer today (10/26). With that in mind, is this season intentionally short for the release, and will there be more HTT coming post release?

9

Are there going to be uptadets that will alowe us to play as sangheili?

10

Will Hunt the Truth continue past launch? Ive really loved the podcast so much and really have been hoping season 2 wont end tomorrow.

11

Will there be a playlist without Spartan Abilities?

12

Can you guys at least lay out plans for a Warzone PvE? The majority of the community wants it.

13

How long in the future will it be until you implement additional game variants such as Infection, Grifball, Race, and others?

14

Will you start to make other halo games that dont star chief/locke like they did in halo reach

15

Will we be seeing the new vehicle and weapon variants in Forge? If not, why?

16

A question related to story, or more specifically, the development process of it.

In the process of game development, the storyline is finished relatively early on. Aside from overseeing the creation of campaign assets and expanded universe material (comics, books etc), what do the writers do in the majority of development. Is overseeing campaign/ EU development most of it or do they start work on future projects early?

Thanks for reading and (hopefully) answering. I hope to go into video game writing one day (maybe even for Halo!) So the process and what goes on in development is a great interest of mine.

  1. Can we have Clippy/Mister Chief armor post-launch?
  2. Will HCS get it’s own arena playlist post-launch too?
18

For a question more in line with actual lore stuff, will tomorrow’s episode of HUNTtheTRUTH spoil/ require you to play the Halo 5 campaign? I’ve been dark on all Halo 5 campaign information (Spoilers) so I want to know if HTT is ‘safe’?

19

Considering the recent reviews that have surfaced about the story in Halo 5 Guardians, Does chief and his story really get overshadowed by that of Locke’s?

20

Will this game push the relationship between Master Chief and UNSC through the breaking point?
