Hey guys, today we have got to see the Escalation 13 cover art and bio.
Requiem has been destroyed, but the real war between Commander Sarah Palmer’s Spartans and Jul ’Mdama’s New Covenant is just beginning . . . and everything hinges on control of one all-powerful artifact. Duffy Boudreau (BlackAcre, Bloodshot) and Sergio Ariño (Ms. Marvel) team up for an all-new chapter of the Halo saga and a great jumping-on point for new readers!
Hi guys, so my favourite thing in the games is the different armours, I just love them, and we finally have a look at the armour customisation, it looks like we get to choose between 3 armour sets, like the elite customisation in reach. Maybe there will be more, after all it is an early build, I think all the armours look fantastic! Love them all, I think these are the best elite armours I have ever seen in Halo. period.
Hi guys, sorry on the late post, so you have proabaly seen the new forge news, but in case you have not:
We Forgers have lots to look forward to, Scripting, open maps, fine editing mode is back, no more money, and so much more, wow!
Lockout, or now Lockdown is the latest map revealed to be included in Halo 2 anniversary. And it looks great! I’ve always loved Lockout, so here’s some gameplay!
So the interactive element is falling ice huh? Of course if you don’t want it all you have to do is remove it in forge. Anyway, thanks for reading, see ya!
Hi guys, its that awesome time of the month again when Escalation comes out, and boy is it a good one! So if you remember last time we left off with a cliff hanger, Blue team (John -aka- master chief, Fred, Linda and Kelly) found the Didact still alive on a Forerunner planet. This issue starts a little differently.
We start on the previous day, right after John causes the Didact to fall through the portal on Mantles approach. We see him slip to Gamma Halo, where Black is located. We see Black locate the Didacts armour, not knowing what it is, then the Didact awakens, and continues to slaughter Black team.
After this the Didact finds the monitor of the composers forge, 859 Static Carillon, wandering Gamma, trying to find Gamma Halo’s monitor. The Didact promptly orders the monitor to take him to the Composers forge. After we cut back to Blue, who are on the unknown Forerunner installation (the composers forge). They come across 6 composers, which is when the Didact finds them. He appears with his Promethean army, newly composed from the residents of New Phoenix, interestingly he also holds Gamma Halo’s activation index.
The Promethean engage Blue, meanwhile the Didact and the monitor discuss his plans, we see in the sky Gamma Halo appear out of slipspace. The Didact makes ready to repair it with the composers, and quickly leaves for it. However Static Carillon disagrees with the Didacts use of the new Prometheans from Phoenix, as they bring, terror, rage, fear and confusion to the Promethean ranks.
This breaks the Monitors agreement with the Didact thus, the Monitor helps Blue escape from the Forge, and to Gamma Halo. As they arrive the Didact engages Blue once again, poised to kill Kelly Master Chief sneaks up behind him, stabbing a knife into his right eye. The comic ends with the Didact grabbing Chief’s helmet, and crushing it with his hand, thus the broken visor in the Halo 5 trailer.
This was awesome, it was nice to see how Black died, even if it was a little bitter sweet. We also see Blue team kicking Promethean ass! And using the new weapons. And that cliff hanger, obviously Chief never makes it back to the UNSC, but why, and will Blue be with him? We know Fred will be in Halo 5 from the trailer, but will Kelly and Linda make it? We find out next issue, as that marks the end of the story arc.
Thanks for reading guys, its PAX in a week or so, so there will be more Halo news then, and I’ll keep you posted right here! Thanks guys, see ya!
Hi guys, so Escalation 9 comes out in 3 days, but we have issue 12’s cover for our viewing pleasure.
It looks cool, I can’t really see the Spartan in the second ghost, but I think its Ray due to the infiltrator helmet.
Some of you may have seen the Escalation 9 preview, and boy is it a good one (Didact Vs. Blue team) buuuut I’m not going to post anything on it until I can give a complete synopsis of the issue, which means it’ll be a couple of days yet.
That’s all for me guys, see you in a couple of days with the release of Escalation 9!

If you cant see it:
Hello all, strange title huh? Well I have good reason yesterday while rooting around the Halo Waypoint forums I discovered somthing that has been going on since June that I completely missed, any lore nut out there, stay here, this is big.
On the Waypoint forums a strange entity known as Catalog has started posting (It is a member of the 343 writing team in reality and anything it states is considered cannon) Forum goers immediately started to figure out who this was, it is a surviving member of the Forerunner Catalog, who, at present seems to be on Mars ( this is taking place in 2558) Forum goers, taking the role of ONI researchers have started to question it, and oh my have we received answers. Everything Catalog says is Role Played and this seems to be the new version of “I love bees” from Halo 2 or the rogue AI on B-Net from Halo 3. Catalog has gained us much knowlage, and has revealed surprising revelations about the lore, such as the deaths of the surviving Spartan III’s apart from Tom and Lucy.
Catalog seems to have access to many ONI and UNSC files, and Forerunner knowlage, but his Covenant knowlage seems to be limited to what reciords the UNSC has. I’ll leave a link where you can read all his posts, and join in with the game. I love stuff like this, its a cool way for 343 to answer questions about the lore, without having to spent money printing media, it also allows us to directly ask questions [Designated Query’s]. Here is the link scroll down to the secound post with all the links:

So I saw this when I first watched the trailer, but I’ve not seen it since so I thought I’d post it, Here is the spot where they are in the trailer, at the bottom left:
Here are screen shots of them:
HALO CATALOG
