It isn't by chance that today is the 20th anniversary of Halo 2 and I have just hit MAX rank in Halo Infinite.

Hero.

The Indianapolis Colts now are open to trading star running back Jonathan Taylor, sources told @RapSheet and me. Multiple teams have reached out to Indianapolis, and those talks are said to be active and ongoing, according to sources. More on https://t.co/NcfwZLCjrb.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?

Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

There is a powerful lesson that voters are going to send to Republicans on Nov 3rd, but I’m not confident they will learn the lesson.

They were given the America First mandate in 2024, and Trump massively violated that mandate with his Iran War, Epstein coverup, and creating an unaffordable economy.

For the past two years, Republicans have gone along with Trump’s campaign betrayals and never even tried to steer back to the mandate.

They are all irrationally afraid of the Truth Social post and scared to upset the cult leader.

Yet they are going to lose because of the cult leader.

So the lesson is coming and the message is being sent once again to Washington.

Put America and Americans FIRST!

End the foreign wars that we don’t to pay for.

Focus on the domestic agenda that makes life affordable for Americans.

Everyone is sick of corruption and pay to play schemes in politics.

Everyone wants gas under $2 and cheap diesel.

And help the younger generations of Americans achieve their American dream.

It’s not loyalty to a man or a party that the American people demand.

It’s loyalty to the American people is what they demand.

As a final farewell, Halo Studios just dropped a load of concept art on Zeta Halo that's seemingly from their now scrapped Halo 7...

Infinity crash site ("Helms Deep"), The Endless, a Forerunner stone city, Ancient ruins and more 😭

IGN Ryan Mccaffrey shares a story about how a 343 employee told him that liked his bad review of H5, because it proved that the 343 faction that didn't want H5 campaign to go down the way it did were correct. https://t.co/CLn3jvuLOO

Still processing all of this from last week... But John is one of the most passionate fans of Halo and always went to bat for the players. Even when things felt impossible, he went to bat for ALL of us in the Halo community and that's not lost on me. @Activision HIRE THIS MAN.

[John Junyszek @Unyshek]

Thank you.

To the Halo community.
Thank you for your relentless passion, feedback, and support. It was a pleasure and a privilege to represent you over the last 11 years.

Whether it was meeting you in-person at events, troubleshooting issues with you online, talking to you on broadcasts, checking out your Forge creations, or sharing your constructive criticism to push for change - I truly loved it.

Your voices have helped shape the best aspects of our games. Without each of you, Halo would not be the same.

To my teammates.
Thank you for always hearing me out and letting me push for more. Whether I was asking your team to make a pivot or fix one more bug before a release, you all trusted that it would be the right call. Collaborating with so many bright people across nearly every discipline was such a unique and rewarding part of this role.

It was also an honor to have your support while leading the Gameplay Team for the last two years of Halo Infinite. I was humbled - but not the least bit surprised - that so many of you rallied to ship impactful features and community-requested updates, which ultimately brought the game to a great place for our players.

Your talent and dedication never ceased to amaze, and it pushed me to do better every day. I will always be grateful for your partnership, mentorship, and friendship.

Although I’ll be moving on to different work, I’m excited for the future of Halo and I can’t wait to experience its next steps alongside all of you.

Thank you for everything.

[Brian Jarrard @ske7ch]

Thank you, John, for 11 years of unwavering love and support for Halo. To the community - you couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and determined advocate and representative.

There are many reasons over the years that not everything ended up the way everyone wanted in the games, but I can assure it was *not* for lack of your internal advocacy and perseverance. And perhaps most admirably to me, you pushed uphill tirelessly, always with grace, patience, and positivity.

Most people don't know what you did behind the scenes and never will. But you never did it for fame or recognition. Even beyond the insights and perspectives you provided across the development team, your hands-on efforts leading Infinite's sustain gameplay team (and H5 sustain prior that) resulted in so much player goodness. I didn't think the Falcon would ever see the light of day - but you and the team did it (and you never let that dream die!).

You also applied that same passion and intention outwards in support of the community itself looking for opportunities to support and provide a platform for creators and voices. Coming from the Halo creator side yourself, you always went out of your way to try and lift others up.

I'm really sad and angry that this 11-year chapter comes to a close like this. @Activision please hire this man to be a part of the future of Halo - you will not find someone more knowledgeable, hardworking, uplifting, or unabashedly in love with Halo than John.

[Rebs Gaming @Mr_Rebs_]

Here’s my new video report: https://t.co/n9QCdgcd7Z

Before the layoffs, Halo Studios head of studio Pierre Hintze had the entire studio working simultaneously on early development for Halo 2 and Halo 3 remakes, Halo 7 (they presented a concept update to Xbox executives last week), and a spinoff campaign game based on the First Strike novel. I’m told around 30 employees remain, which includes Pierre Hintze and people from his inner circle. Apparently Pierre still hopes to make smaller projects, but my source doesn’t believe Microsoft and Activision will allow it. #Halo #Xbox

The worst possible outcome.

[Rob Semsey @RobSemsey]

15 years at Xbox, most of it on Halo. Today's news is awful and my heart goes out to you all. The people behind Halo are as talented as anyone in this industry. If you're impacted and an intro, a reference, or a resume read would help, my DMs are open.

[ Daniel Prindle (DTM) @DanIsDTM]

The worst possible outcome. I wanted a conclusion to Chief's story, not a retold version of it. Fuck man, this is awful news.

Also, we finally get to a really interesting nemesis for the next game (Atriox), just to have it ripped away.

[big baby beluga @TechnicalHalo]

this is a reboot, a new chapter, lore is not going to be continued

Just without words on this one. Right before Halo Fest in December, no less.

As part of the continuing reset of the business, XBOX will is eliminating 268 roles across Halo Studios, other first-party studios, and the XGS management and central functions layer.

Insane!!
Diesel in central Florida is almost $7 dollars!!
This is all Trump’s fault!
We did not vote for this.
We shouldn’t pay taxes to a government that ruins our lives.

If you were mad about gas prices under Biden and complained constantly but you’re silent now, you are a fool.

You’re in a cult and you’re dishonest.
