It wasn't obvious "in-game assets at way higher, pre-baked resolutions" stuff because it was done in the artsy style of the Terminals.

Watch the terminal videos before you play it.

Terminal's from which game?

Halo 4. The terminals are basically required viewing if you want to get the most of out of the story.

Wait, the watch the terminals in Halo 4 before I play Halo 4, or the terminals from H2A? (I've watched those.)

Watch the H4 terminals before you play H4. You can find them on YouTube, or the Halo Channel if you're feeling up to it.
Loved the Terminals so much, really brought the lore to life.
Dunno if this has been posted or not yet...

Fairly interesting read, yet again showing how dark the Halo universe is.

Started reading and got distracted by the acronym "BXR."
On it!
Finally caught up with Hunt the Truth. I didn't even start listening to it or really know what it was until last week - to be honest i've been out of the Halo loop since switching over to PS4.
I am loving it, its so well performed and produced. I can't help but create these awesome visuals in my head while i'm listening. Definitely hoping other series' like this are made in the future for other games, or even more Halo stuff.

Damn. Whoever is writing this stuff is top notch. I can't tell if it's the writing, or Keegan-Michael Key's perfect delivery.. but just reading that story, I could 'hear' it in his voice perfectly, the pitch, the pacing.. the everything.
Seriously blown away by the whole HtT project. I know ilovebee's had way more 'fan' interaction, but the story being told by HtT is just miles beyond anything I feel we've seen from a "Halo" property thus far.
As for the posts.. damn, son. The Outer Colonies got rekd. On the face of it, you can't really blame the UEG/ONI for that, as the Covenant were just slowly making their way inward, but I have to imagine there were plenty of instances where perhaps ONI had a heads up, but refused to warn people.. as escaping craft would likely not always follow the Cole Protocol/etc. I wouldn't even be surprised if ONI had stealth prowlers watching, learning, trying to find a weakness, sacrificing outer colony planets to buy Earth/etc more time.
But, while terrible, is that necessarily wrong? Even after whatever they did, the Covenant still made it to Earth, and were [ ] this close to wiping out humanity. The joy of that old argument.. did the results justify it? Did they justify the Spartan-II's? Ahhh.. so many moral grey areas.. I love it.
New GI Story, lots of info.

Interesting, so the SIIs got the same armour upgrade as Locke and Co demonstrated, or at least the jetpack bit.
In theory, the armor should reconfigure, right? I believe in Glasslands they talk about nanobots retooling the armor as improvements become available.

I think there's still a split, the nanomachines

Isn't that how they explained Chief's visual upgrades in 4? Cortana updated his "firmware", which dealt with nanotech?
LordOfChaos

Yeah, but did it add anything so major as a jetpack? Firmware updates, battle damage, minor improvements, that I can see.
Anywho, who knows what the nanomachines

I think the Nanomachines bit was just a joke. Most likely just a retcon.
It will always be a retcon in my headcanon. I don't understand why the visual differences have to be explained.

Geeze, I never got the impression the Guardians were 4000 feet high...I guess the MC sandy desert trailer was just artistic effect?

What I always found odd was how 343 felt the need to retcon the armor in the cryo tube. If they wanted to really go through with the redesign(which they definitely should have, it looks great) why not just have the old suit get damaged in requim, and have chief pick up the new hotness on the infinity?

How? Del Rio didn't seem like the sharing sort and it doesn't seem like they had time to custom fit him a new suit. Not trying to attack, I agree that situation would be better (given I still have no idea how the change actually happened), just not sure how they'd fit it in. I'd love to hear your scenario more in-depth if you want though, sounds interesting.
