Cool Halo 5 theory from somebody on Ign Comments - http://uk.ign.com/wikis/halo-5-xbox-one/Halo_5_Rumors_and_Leaks it's top comment

So, guys. I've watched the E3 traile several times and I came up with some crazy theories about the game.

The first theory, which is the most shocking, is that I think the game takes place in... Reach!

Yeah, you read it right. Here's why I think so:

-If you take a close look at sand, which isn't sand btw, you'll notice that it's shining. Does anyone remember what did the Covenent do to Reach after it was destroyed? they "glassed" it or something, right? (don't remember where did I came up with from). So, I think that the "sand" is actually glass.

-When the Chief gets to the the open space where you see that giant Promethean coming from under the "sand", you can see some buried structures.

-Also, if you concentrate on the sky you'll find that it's, unlike Requim's sky, not artificial. And when the Chief gets to the open space where he meets the Promethean, you can see a big orange planet in the sky. The same plant that can be seen on some missions in Halo: Reach.

-You must've noticed that the Chief was wearing a cloack. I think this further proves that's the "sand" is actually glass and that's why he was protecting his armor.

Pretty interesting theory but isn't Reach being colonized again? I think I read it in a book and I know they show it at the end of Halo all good again, Was a pretty good theory, Would of been cool going back to Reach again and maybe finding Noble Six =P He could of survived if he somehow very unlikely managed to hide underground or in a mountain, I'm pretty sure not all of Reach was glassed as well only part of it (I could be wrong, will need to double check)

That is pretty interesting.  Would be pretty cool going back to reach. I wasnt a huge fan of Reach but that was because I wasnt playing as The Chief.  So being able to play as him :)  Plus that would make for an interesting story and it would make sense having other spartans now.

Anybody 100%'d a game on Xbox One yet?


Not me since I don't have my Xbox One yet, but I think I might try for 100% on Crimson Dragon. I've actually never 100%'d a full retail game on the 360 before, just Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon which only had 400 gamerscore, I came close on Halo 3 and Fallout 3, about 90% for each. 

Wow really? I guess I should expect others to be addicted like me :P (I blame TrueAchievements) Fallout 3 was a fantastic game to get Achievements in.

Going to try 100% Ryse, Dead Rising 3, Max, Zoo Tycoon and Crimson Dragon, Not gonna bother with Killer Instinct maxing or Forza 5

I think for Ryse i have 4 achievements left and 920 gamerscore but I have to do that stupid level 100 achievement which just feels like a grind so Max will probably be the first game I max out...

Wow good luck,I havn't touched DR3 since launch (don't hurt me Wright!) Zoo Tycoon and Peggle have been sucking up my time. KI has like 90 achievements? Insane, gonna try for 90% tho.

Lol good luck wit Killer Instinct haha  Some of the achievements is like 100+ matches with each character.  I love KI and prob my favorite fighter along with Mortal Kombat now but damn lol  Ive only done like 200 matches so far in total.  

I was pretty shit at first but ive gotten much better since then.  My record will forever be ruined because of the true skill matchups.  I can at least win 5+ matches in a row now regardless of them being 5+ level.

Xbox One features may include Rio streaming in 2014

By Alan Ng Posted 30 Sep 2013, 20:26

Last week we informed you about a very interesting rumor related to the new Xbox One console. It was all about the possibility of streaming Xbox 360 titles on the new system, a feature that would obviously have a massive amount of interest among users since the console won’t be able to playback Xbox 360 discs out of the box.

Now it looks like it wasn’t just a mere rumor, but a feature that could be Microsoft’s big answer to Sony and Gaikai’s streaming plans in 2014. A fresh report has emerged this week, again referencing the fact that Microsoft showed their streaming secret behind closed doors at a company event.

Furthermore, the report by CNET also offers a potential name for the service for the very first time – Rio. This service could be Microsoft’s way of offering a method of backwards compatibility for the Xbox One and it looks like one title that is already supported for Rio is Halo 4.

What’s interesting is that the source also suggests that Rio could be used for a lot more than just gaming purposes, such as streaming Microsoft Office applications to other devices as well. This leads us to believe that this could be a massive plan in the making and Microsoft may be forced to speed up plans with a public announcement soon.

Was it all a masterplan?

The gaming community already knows that PS3 titles will be available on the PS4 via Gaikai, but Microsoft could end up having the last laugh if Rio turns out to be a cheaper and more efficient option. Either way, it looks like it is win win for the consumers and we just pray that there will be some price incentive for those looking to stream a game that they already own on disc.

Things are starting to get very exciting indeed. As we await further information on this, give us your thoughts on Microsoft potentially bringing their Rio streaming service to Xbox One.

Tell us what Xbox 360 games you would be willing to stream over for a price.

Not me personally, but Ray from Achievement Hunter has 3. Dead Rising 3, Ryse, and Lococycle.

I'm gonna 100% Peggle 2 and Max within the next week.



jlmurph2 on 21 December 2013

^^ That was proven to be too complicated by MS right now and they're putting it on the backburner.

Peggle 2 100% looks hard to me. 180 optional objectives is tricky, it's hard to get the optional objective for clearing all of the pegs on certain levels. I'll probably try to get all of them except for the 180 optional objective achievement though.

Its very possible, I only have like 3 achievements left, maybe 4

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty certain that article's date is before a Microsoft employee confirmed that their game streaming plans had been put on hold. I still hold out hope for some form of backwards compatibility at some point. I was reading something recently where a Microsoft employee (don't remember which one) hinted that emulation based backwards compatibility may be rolled out in stages in the future. I really hope that something happens.


awwh :/ where'd you guys hear this?
