Here's a clip Urk so generously uploaded for me some time again. It highlights just how awesome Blackout can be.

The door was locked.

Letdown. All you did was rattle the doorknob?!? You didn't even try looking for an open window are air vent

Lorraine McLees posted over at HBO and said that the current Cole Protocol cover is just a "sketch." I think the final cover will be the same thing, it will just look a lot better.

Also, urk, are you still doing film clips? I've got one that I'd like to have captured - here. I get a Killtac/Extermination on Avalanche for the final flag grab. No prob if you're not doing that stuff any more.

Wow.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

That might be best cover out of all the series. Is it a different artist?

No as far as I know it's not. As said, Lorraine posted over at HBO, saying that's still Issac Hannaford.
It's just a really different style.
Plot wise that looks like Threshold in the backround {as guessed by DHalo too}, which could be big.

Has Bungie detailed what "The Cole Protocol" is about?

 

[Deleted member 21120]

Has Bungie detailed what "The Cole Protocol" is about?

The Spartan "Gray Team." All we know is that they've been "far away" for a really long time on some sort of secret mission - that info has been provided in past Halo novels.

 

[MrDaravon]

Shit, that post I made was the last one before I went to sleep last night, and I thought that juice's post was the real weekend playlist hopper :lol . Some of those looked pretty awesome

Weekend Grifball is up apparently, with a slight variant on the map according to the bungie post, but I haven't had a chance to get on yet.

I'm sorry, Eazy, but if Jerome was there, I would have made an attempt, or at least I would have asked. I was ready to pose with him and everything.

It might also detail the actual Cole Protocol and how it came to be?

 

[Domino Theory]

What makes you think he'd want to do that with you in the first place?

 

[godhandiscen]

What makes you think he'd want to do that with you in the first place?

Its funny, but I would take his autograph over Cliffy's.

 

[Deleted member 21120]

I'm fairly positive the Cole Protocol existed long before any Spartans did.

 

[NH Apache]

lol, me too. I mean, the dude fought a fricken bear. A BEAR, for chrissakes. How much more awesome can you get?

 

[The Librarian]

What makes you think he'd want to do that with you in the first place?

Because Jerome's a cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything.

 

[godhandiscen]

lol, me too. I mean, the dude fought a fricken bear. A BEAR, for chrissakes. How much more awesome can you get?

Exactly. I didn't mean to offend Cliffy, but Jerome is well known among my circle of friends for his feats of awesomeness, and that picture where he is holding the Brute Hammer is way too badass.

Because Jerome's a cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything.

:lol

 

[Ramirez]

Hah, that no announcment thread is a riot. :lol

I want my internets, I miss shooting things.

 

[Frenck]

I'm fairly positive the Cole Protocol existed long before any Spartans did.

It was enacted after or during the Harvest campaign which sadly will be retconned by Halo Wars. I guess that finally confirms that the novels belong into a separate EU like continuity :-(

I really hope that Ensemble won't bring the Flood into the Harvest campaign as it has been rumored.

 

[LAUGHTREY]

The door was locked.

Wow @ actually checking.

 

[Kibbles]

You should've brung a sharpie and put your username somewhere with the words ''i can has recon?''

I hear it works.

 

[The Librarian]

Should've left a note on Luke's car: Dax01 was here.:lol

 

[The Lamonster]

shit I hope you don't really know what kind of car Luke drives :lol

 

[Domino Theory]

I'm pretty sure Jermoe has standards. Lowering them is not his thing.

 

[The Librarian]

I'm pretty sure Jermoe has standards. Lowering them is not his thing.

Why so rude?

shit I hope you don't really know what kind of car Luke drives :lol

No.

 

[LukeSmith]

We really need to see what kind of permits we need for Jerome to be able to shoot on sight. I should ask for the security tapes and put Dax checking the door in the weekly update.

"Gaze, sweet Internet, as this homely pre-teen attempts to infiltrate Bungie."
<awkward youth enters frame, presses face to glass, moving his sweet white hat to the side to peer in>
"Now, he will see if the door works."
<a small hand gingerly tugs at the door, fails>
"Yeah, we keep it locked, imagine that!"

Just make your sure your cut the video if he tries to rub himself

 

[urk]

That'll really scale back the available footage.

 

[The Librarian]

Do it; that will be worth a weekly update by itself.

Do it. But I am not actually the one who checked to see if the door was locked, my dad was. :lol Oh, and I am not a pre-teen.

 

[Numbers]

Lemme guess: You hid in the car while he checked the door?

 

[Sai-kun]

you will be famous!!!

 

[The Librarian]

Lemme guess: You hid in the car while he checked the door?

No. I was hanging back taking pictures while he walked up to the front door.

 

[Captain Blood]

Do it; that will be worth a weekly update by itself.

Did your dad at least get you into an R-rated movie after you couldn't get into bungie?

 

[Numbers]

Did your dad at least get you into an R-rated movie after you couldn't get into bungie?

He was probably too upset to see a movie, he didn't get the picture he wanted of Jerome escorting his Dad away..

 

[The Librarian]

Did your dad at least get you into an R-rated movie after you couldn't get into bungie?

Well, I can't drive by myself.

 

[LukeSmith]

Do it. But I am not actually the one who checked to see if the door was locked, my dad was.

Shit just got real.

 

[Domino Theory]

Well, I can't drive by myself.

K, your bed time is now.

 

[Falagard]

Well, I can't drive by myself.

So wait, let me get this straight. Your dad was cool enough (IE geeky enough) to drive you to Bungie's office, and then you weren't brave enough to try the door yourself?

That's... well that's indicative. Indicative of various things.

 

[Kibbles]

I'm expecting quite an interesting update tomorrow, do it! :lol

 

[TDG]

Wow, the story actually managed to get funnier. :lol

:lol

Hey TDG.

?

 

[Buttonbasher]

Shit just got real.

:lol

Also, did you get my PM with my take on the Podcast intro?

 

[Sibylus]

Dax was secretly filming his first documentary.

"Orphaned: The Brutal Bungie Bludgeoning of My Daddy"

 

[The Librarian]

So wait, let me get this straight. Your dad was cool enough (IE geeky enough) to drive you to Bungie's office, and then you weren't brave enough to try the door yourself?

That's... well that's indicative. Indicative of various things.

Well, no. As I said before, I was hanging back and taking pictures of the building (I took 2). My dad, having nothing to do, went up to the front door. I would have gone up myself after I was done taking the pictures, he just beat me to it.

Oh, and my dad is actually a fan of the Halo novels. I asked him to read the first one (Fall of Reach), he liked it, so he read the next three. He is going to read Contact Harvest, but only after he is done reading a couple of other novels he has purchased but has yet to read.

 

[HugBasket]

I've always pictured the Bungie doors as oblivion gates. If only I knew what you saw Dax..

 

[Dirtbag]

YAY Pax flight booked! I'm in!

 

[Deleted member 21120]

Awesome. It's gonna be a blast.

 

[LukeSmith]

:lol

Also, did you get my PM with my take on the Podcast intro?

I did, and I will listen to it in the office tomorrow a.m.

 

[Domino Theory]

Awesome. It's gonna be a blast.

I think it was cool how we were all planning it out while enjoying some Halo action. Can't wait to book my flight.

 

[EazyB]

I want my internets, I miss shooting things.

You're probably rusty as fuck and I'm not particularly enthused at the prospects of carrying your dilapidated ass in each game.

 

[Buttonbasher]

I did, and I will listen to it in the office tomorrow a.m.

Awesome. Hope you like it!

 

[sc0la]

Shit just got real.

:rofl

please give us a heads up when this goes live :lol

Oh, and my dad is actually a fan of the Halo novels. I asked him to read the first one (Fall of Reach), he liked it, so he read the next three.

does he make squeeky grunt voices when they talk? It probably took him a few weeks to get through it if you fell asleep before he finished reading the chapter to you.
