The Mysteries of Halo 5: Guardians continues to unravel in the latest episode of Hunt the Truth, but also in another image puzzle this past weekend.  After a mysterious email was sent to Australians, people everywhere began trying to solve a puzzle that eventually lead to the Halo 5 cover art for the game.  The art reveals what appears to be Blue Team, Locke’s team with a couple of familiar Spartans, Chief and Locke in their infamous standoff, and Sanghelios.  Ben Giraud’s trip to ONI had it’s own twists with a one-on-one interview with Franklin Mendez, the one who trained John and the rest of the Spartan IIs.  Ben’s struggle with the truth would get the better of him and get him fired shortly after, only to be left at home with a decision to follow through on the job, or turn tail and spill the beans.  After many recommendations, we’re honored to have Toa Freak on as our special guest.

The latest Master Chief Collection patch is out and this is another big one addressing Halo 3 forge and ranks coming to other playlists.  In the patch notes, we got word that the Relic remake and Halo 3: ODST’s campaign will join the collection alongside next month’s content update.  On the Halo 5 hype train, a new GameStop trailer announced Spartan Locke’s exclusive HUNTER class armor as a pre-order bonus for those buying from GameStop.  The trailer itself has some interesting moments showcasing the versatility of Spartan Abilities coming to Halo 5: Guardians along with some other hints at what we’ll find in the campaign later in October.  Our special guests this week are Tyboy and TwiztedShotz from Rectify Gaming.

Our next episode of Hunt the Truth with Ben Giraud, we see desperate attempts to make sense of what the interviews have been saying about Chief’s true past, while fretting about job security for this story.  Ben’s gone from having the brunt work done for him with ONI piling on interviews for him to make a great story, to contradicting every lead given to him with his own contacts, even entertaining the audience of Mashak Maradi, the truther who has kept leaving him messages throughout this whole campaign.  On his way back to Earth after being called back by Sully, he confides in a colleague of his, Petra Janecek on what he has found before heading to ONI HQ.  We are joined by Drew Freeman from Podcast Evolved for this week’s discussion.
