Halo 5: Guardians - 2015 *SPOILERS*

I've never really been a big fan of the Halo games, (I just found the controls to hard to switch to after playing Call of Duty) but I know there are a lot of people that really like the game and are waiting for this new game to be released. Although the game is scheduled to be released Fall 2015, there is all ready a lot of chatter about the specs and game-play. The game is introducing a new character (which might I add looks a bit like
a girl on the cover) as seen on the cover of the Halo 5 game. Some speculations about the new character have popped up, some have even said that it might be Cortana, Master Chiefs partner in Halo 4 who died before the Master Chief returned to Earth. But Josh Holmes, the executive producer there at 343 Industries, clarified on Twitter that the  blue-visored Spartan is in fact NOT Cortana (or Palmer), rather, "He's a NEW character."
Well isn't this exciting news! They've also said that the beta testing will start in December of 2014. So there aren't any game-play videos out yet sadly.
Here is the original Twitter post by Josh Holmes:

They've also made this little noticable fact about the Spartans armor, on his left chest armor there is a ONI symbol on it (If you have absolutely no idea what ONI is go here http://www.halopedia.org/Office_of_Naval_Intelligence) Just a quick overview on The Office of Naval Intelligence, they ARE known to be sneaky and unlawful people within the games. This is only really a theory, yes they (someone) zoomed in far enough to see this it's not to say that someone simply Photoshopped the logo onto the Spartans armor, but there's no saying what's right or wrong with so little details to run off of. With this in mind many players that believe the logo is actually there do believe this is bad news. You can see the logo for yourself right here:
You can't tell me this guy doesn't look feminine. I mean if you've actually seen the Master Chief, and compared these two, you can see the serious differences. You can argue compare the two and argue me with it here if you'd like, but I'm not changing my opinion, just sayin'.
Still there isn't much to say about the campaign plot, or well, anything else. But 343 Industries has also said that there will the long loved multiplayer mode added back to the game. It will include seven small, enclosed maps specially designed for 4v4 combat rounds. Honestly, I might try Halo again, just because of all the good things I've heard about some of the previous games.
