- Ascendant Justice's description

Ascendant Justice was a blog dedicated to analysis of all topics related to the Halo universe, including Campaign levels, Multiplayer and story elements.

History
In the Summer of 2004, a series of posts concerning Halo 2’s secretive multiplayer beta burnt a hole into the internet on a forum known as Nightly Net. With this hole still smoldering under the persistent heat of speculation and rumors, a close-knit group of Halo fans decided to take it to the road and created the community known as Ascendant Justice. When Halo 3 information began to surface, several members of this community contributed to H3DA or the Halo 3 Data Archive, which was, at that time, the most expansive collaboration of Halo 3 data and speculative discussion. Although the site has since been disbanded, the forum community is still alive and well.

From the nucleus of that group, three Halo fans came together with a similar plan. The culmination of that purpose has been manifested in Ascendant Justice.

The blog was discontinued on September 28, 2009, due to Vociferous and Cocopjojo moving on to work at 343 Industries on Halo Waypoint. Currently, they publish the "Fiction" content on Waypoint, in which they detail various topics in the Halo universe.

His impetus and goals are what drive the direction and intensity of this blog and the growing Ascendant Justice community. While he usually stays out of the limelight, his contributions are emphatic, and his dedication to the success of the Halo franchise and community is unparalleled.

Cocopjojo has been a fan of the Halo franchise since its first game.

Strong affections for the Halo community have kept his enjoyment of the games unwavering and his expectations for the future high.

Vociferous has been a fan of Halo since its inception and has closely followed almost all elements of the franchise’s development over the last seven years. His dedication to the story and lore of Halo and all of its other facets was exemplified in the quality and quantity of information available in the Halo 3 Data Archive during its time. He’ll be bringing his own brand of speculation, prose and candor to the blog from time to time.
