![]() That being said, it is good storytelling. Without giving spoilers, the story takes quite a different direction than we thought it would. I don’t know if Microsoft was intentionally trying to increase hype or if the developer had some story overhaul at the last minute. There was no emotional attachment or concern for their lives or the part they played in the overall story. The building blocks of a decent campaign are in place, however I wasn’t deeply invested with any one character. It fits in with the previous lore and some old names are brought in to help it along nicely. The story in Halo 5: Guardians is above average, but not by much. The graphics were to be top notch the campaign advertised with #HuntTheTruth was going to pit the infamous Master Chief against some new Spartan. It’s the first new entry in the Halo franchise made exclusively on Microsoft’s shiny new console and had every intention to shock and awe players everywhere. Halo 5: Guardians was supposed to be Microsoft’s season saving game the game to convince the remaining many to buy an Xbox One. However, Halo 5: Guardians was 343’s chance to prove they could create a Halo game to live up to the expectations of the fans. It played well and was fun, which is all we were really expecting with a new studio. I was skeptical with a new studio taking over the beloved franchise with Halo 4, and although it wasn’t the story telling greatness that I enjoyed with Halo CE and Reach, it was well done. I’ve played every Halo game released for Xbox consoles and the only one I didn’t dedicate an exorbitant amount of time in was ODST. Halo 5: Guardians is set for release on 27 October.This is only the second new Halo installment in the 343 Industries era. In Halo 4 – 343 Industries first fully independent Halo game – comedians Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter cameo as two marines talking about unions, rugs, and waking ancient aliens from their slumber. The three lead actors from cult sci-fi TV series Firefly appeared in Halo 3 (with Nathan Fillion going on to have a full role in Halo 3: ODST, to which he returns in Halo 5), as did voice actors from beloved Machinima series Red vs Blue. The Halo series is no stranger to fun cameos. Microsoft couldn't be drawn on the nature of the cameo, but given most to date have been voicing non-player characters (NPCs) that would be a fair bet. "It's a bit of an Easter egg though, so you'll have to really be looking for it." He's a big fan of Halo and we're big fans of his, so it's always fun when these kinds of things work out," said a Microsoft spokesperson. "Fabricio Werdum makes a small cameo appearance in Halo 5: Guardians. ![]() Following a brief mention of the cameo at Gamescom, IBTimes UK sought clarification from Microsoft. Werdum's cameo – arranged and recorded before he beat Cain Velasquez for the championship in June – is only a small one, but an interesting little Easter egg for fans of the fighter to hunt down. The mixed martial artist is said to be a huge fan of the series. Xbox One shooter Halo 5: Guardians will include a cameo from reigning UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum, developers from 343 Industries revealed during a backstage demo at Gamescom 2015. Fabricio Werdum and Halo protagonist Master Chief.
