Pro-John117 bias

This article has a clear pro John-117 bias and needs to be cleaned up.—This unsigned comment was made by 98.65.201.42 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

If you could please explain a little more, that would be great, because I fail to see how the article is "biased" in any way. After all, John-117 is sort of the main character of the game and entire series. His backstory between Halo 4 and now is pretty central to the game too.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 16:24, 18 September 2015 (EDT)

John-117 is one of two main characters, as was the case with Halo 2, and in Reach there are arguably 6 main characters. There can be more than one main character but the article says he is the solitary protagonist alluding to Locke being somehow lesser or inferior in role when 343 have multiple times stated the opposite (they are even depicted as equals face to face on the cover art of the game)—This unsigned comment was made by 98.65.201.42 (talk • contribs).

No, it doesn't. The article states John-117 is the primary protagonist of the series, not of the game. The next paragraph which is solely about Locke opens with the following: "Halo 5: Guardians also features another playable protagonist...".

Vehicle position switching

It appears from this video that it is possible to switch positions in a vehicle. Should we add this to the article? Thanks, --Weeping Angel (talk) 19:30, 7 October 2015 (EDT)

I added that fact a while ago.Sith Venator (Dank Memes) 19:45, 7 October 2015 (EDT)

Haha, my bad. Thanks! --Weeping Angel (talk) 21:58, 7 October 2015 (EDT)

Spoilers

I assume now that a bunch of a-holes are spoiling the game all over the internet we all are going to be extra vigilant to stop them here? I know I will be. Alertfiend - Team Chief 20:55, 12 October 2015 (EDT)

The Administration team will be extra-vigilant for spoilers and will deal with them in accordance with the policy.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 21:53, 12 October 2015 (EDT)

It also may not hurt to lock pages of important characters and objects relating to the game until it is released. --NightHammer^{(talk)(contribs)} 22:06, 12 October 2015 (EDT)

I agree. We did the same thing with Halo 4 if I remember right.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 22:16, 12 October 2015 (EDT)

Team Majestic

Have Team Majestic along with all of it's members been actually proved to appear in Halo 5? Besides the fact that Thorne was originally supposed to take Buck's place, all proofs I know, is a shot from "A Hero Reborn", in which someone noticed "Madsen" in a script, which we don't know even to be final and featured in game. It could also be just a mention. Is that enough to make an assumption? PatrickRus (talk) 07:06, 22 October 2015 (EDT)

I agree the brief shot of the script probably not enough proof of their presence. It's better to be safe than sorry, so I'm removing it for now. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 10:04, 22 October 2015 (EDT)

Cleaned up Majestic's page, as well as it's members.PatrickRus (talk) 10:11, 22 October 2015 (EDT)

Additional Characters

Aside from the mention of "Sloan" (his name is Governor Sloan), there's a few other AIs who joined the Created that should be listed. Those who joined in the scene where we had hundreds join are Cromwell, Shipboard AI on the UNSC Melbourne's Pride, Jiang, the Colonial Authority AI on Erdenet, Rykers, and others. Should these be listed? I'm not sure how so, and of course the article is protected, so I can't do anything about it.Gregzilla (talk) 20:54, 27 October 2015 (EDT)

Honestly, I would think all but a few AIs joined Domana and the Created, such as Roland and Black-Box. It would be to much of a trouble to list all of them and unless someone gets a hold of the script for Halo 5, I would only go for the AIs that get subtitled. Alertfiend - Team Chief 21:09, 27 October 2015 (EDT)

The ones that got subtitled, in that case, are Cromwell and Jiang. Can those be added?Gregzilla (talk) 19:14, 30 October 2015 (EDT)

Are we meant to recognize the [spoiler]

Legendary ending spoiler

Are we supposed to recognize the tune that Cortana is humming during the Legendary ending with the Halo? And for that matter, I'm just assuming it's Cortana, but I'm not certain. Anyway, someone told me that it's similar to some tune Guilty Spark has hummed before, but it doesn't sound familiar to me.

This is the piece you are looking for. -- Qura 'Morhek ^{The Autocrat of Morheka} 06:10, 21 December 2015 (EST)

When should we add a section for critical reception?

EVERY SINGLE reviewer said that the story was bad. They praised a lot of things but the story was deemed as bad by almost all reviewers: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2015/10/26/theres-a-huge-problem-with-these-halo-5-reviews-and-only-one-way-to-solve-it/#16c4a8483bf4

We should add a receptions section.

Go ahead and add it, though our reception section for Halo 3 doesn't even mention campaign and that bad story.Sith Venator (Dank Memes) 17:23, 5 February 2016 (EST)

Every single is a incorrect statement a lot but not all. Alertfiend - Warning, my comments may appear passive aggressive. (Converse) 20:59, 5 February 2016 (EST)

Why was the boxart image changed?

As far as I can tell this box image exists only on this website and does not resemble any official box. Seems like fan art. Getting ready to revert it back unless someone says otherwise.--File:PENGUIN4.gifFluffyEmoPenguin^{(ice quack!)} 22:04, 13 March 2016 (EDT)

I got it from Wal-Mart's website, and was the only box art I found to actually have the rating on the box.Sith Venator (Dank Memes) 22:23, 13 March 2016 (EDT)

Ah, well it seems like this is something Wal-Mart adds themselves and isn't an official box. It's just modified Xbox 360 boxart now that I look at it. The official Xbox website has a version with the rating on it, so I'll put that one up.--File:PENGUIN4.gifFluffyEmoPenguin^{(ice quack!)} 13:10, 16 March 2016 (EDT)
