Hey all, thanks for putting this together. We are aware of and are investigating all current issues and working around the clock to deliver fixes. We've deployed a server side update which should begin to improve Matchmaking. Additionally, please keep an eye on this thread: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/85d779d52cfd46918b4f8b638f2e3c7b/topics/the-master-chief-collection-bug-investigation/e024f78f-6022-4a49-99ea-67562ec5b4ca/posts for official updates. Thanks for all of the feedback, and sincere apologies for the issues. As stated above, issuing fixes, especially updates to Matchmaking, are our top priority.
Hey everyone. If you're seeing any lag similar to this and are able to assist with some info, please consider posting to this thread, where we're tracking this issue with the below info, as we have network engineers combing (insert Spaceballs GIF here) this thread to determine exactly what's occurring here and what types of changes can be made to improve.
Here's the info that our guys are looking for, if you're able to provide:
- What region are you located in?
- How often are you experiencing this? (every game, every other game?)
- Does this happen multiple times per game?
- Description of your experience (Warping, delayed registration, walking into walls, etc.)
- Xbox DVR / YouTube / Twitch VoD / etc is extremely helpful
- Make / model of your router
- Firmware version of your router
- ISP & Bandwidth speeds (Up / Down)
Posting in the above thread is the best way to compile this info to make sure it's all in the same place. Thanks all.

That guy was the only player left, so we gave him a few memorable moments; the one-stick-troc, a Killionaire with only assassinations, and one hell of a dance party in the middle of the map.

"Admiral Cole's Last Stand" is a painting in UNSC HighCom Facility Bravo-6, located 3 km underneath Sydney, Australia, on Earth. It shows the Battle of Psi Serpentis, which led to Admiral Preston Cole's presumed death.
The painting is mentioned in Halo: First Strike and Halo: Evolutions "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole".

Hey all! We're hanging out today on Waypoint, twitter, and reddit and standing by. We hope we don't hear from you, because that means you're playing and enjoying. But if you do find anything that needs attention, drop us a line! <3 Patch notes here
Hey friends! This one is indeed the real deal. You can read more details about the update here -- we'll be hangin' here on reddit as well as Waypoint and Twitter all day. Let us know if you run into anything unexpected, anything you enjoy, and everything in between! See you online!
Hey everyone! The update is live, and full patch notes are here. Holiday Doubles and Holiday Social will run through the holidays (1/4), at which point we'll take a look at their population, game types, etc, to determine what happens to both of them moving forward. In whichever form they return, the goal is to add new content to them over time. Does "social" become one with Action Sack, with wacky game types, or do those stay separate, and social becomes sort of a "Team Training" from H2? What type of cool stuff can we do with Doubles that hasn't been done before? Thinking out loud once again, but these are all conversations that are underway now.
Hope you enjoy, and let us know if you have any questions about anything you see in the update!
Hey friends! Patch notes are here, and we'll be hanging out all day to make sure things are all good. u/Unyshek will be playing Infection and continuing to rack up obscene multi-kills until someone stops him. Please.
Also, some have pointed out, but we've got some improvements in the value of Gold and Silver pack in this update too - details just above patch notes!
Hey all,
We've got additional info coming ASAP, but the recent decrease in experience quality is unfortunately due to an Xbox Live services issue, which has put Xbox services into a "Limited" state since 6:47:24 PM CST. We are working alongside this team to get the latest info. We'll have additional info posted in the official thread shortly: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/85d779d52cfd46918b4f8b638f2e3c7b/topics/the-master-chief-collection-bug-investigation/e024f78f-6022-4a49-99ea-67562ec5b4ca/posts
Morning guys and gals. We'll be hanging here throughout the day today ensuring that everything rolls out smoothly. There's a good amount of extra updates & fixes inside this update - for full patch notes, see the bottom of this page.
As Uny said, all REQs will be fully rolled out to all players by 2PM PT - there's a good chance you can grab 'em beforehand as they're already starting to populate, but if you don't wanna risk it, wait until the safe time.

So the game is still following right where Halo Wars left off. You can hear them say Douglas - 42 is down. Funny the Waypoint image for Douglas is just a sloppy looking retouch of a Blur render. Spartan model

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I really like the menu we got in Halo 5.
It has a beautiful simplicity to it. The Infinity literally doesnn't move an inch - everything moves around it.
Halo Reach had the best menu though!
Extremely good points. Halo has always been a relatively simple shooter that rewards those who learn how it works. It's the reason the original trilogy was so popular.
There was a post at Halo Waypoint addressing many of the problems H5 has that need to be fixed in order to be successful as not just a Halo game, but a AAA game as well if 343 is hoping for any replay value and longevity in their game. I feel like your post elaborates further on some of the points eman182 presented:

I'd love to have our team take a look at this. Could you confirm that this is the correct match?
From last friday's update: "We’ll be monitoring feedback and data over the weekend, and will provide an update on Monday regarding our progress."
I changed your timing a bit, hopefully for the better IYO
Add to iTunes, drag onto iPhone
** Actually, here's a handfull of 8-bits I've made for my iPhone. I use the Starman for my ringer and Coin for my voicemail tone, makes me want to ignore my calls ;)
Map was tuned a bit from the original, spacing issues were addressed and overall made the experience better to play on. 100% classic version is in the works still, just wanted to get the one that played better out sooner.
I created a Company for r/Halo, if anyone's interested.
We can always make multiple ones to accommodate r/Halo's population. I'm fairly certain there isn't a rule against that.
Anyone got any ideas for the motto/description?
EDIT: Alpha's been at capacity for quite some time. Please stop enlisting here. Keep an eye on r/FireteamHalo for capacity updates.
We are all sorry for your loss. And don't take all lightly. When I say all... I mean everyone in the halo community, Wherever its in r/halo... Halo Waypoint or everyone who plays Halo. We are all sorry.

Dropping this little nugget for visibility. There is a temporary work around which involves restarting the mission from the beginning and creating a save point.
This kid streams on twitch btw. He's super friendly, deserves way more views. He can't even get subs yet. Also doesn't have a computer but I bet he'll have the $$$ for it now. :D
edit: His channel is https://www.twitch.tv/bubudubu_
There have been leaks about the story(most famously 434 Architect from the B.net fourms), and Jason Schreier wrote an utterly fantastic article on the insane development which makes mention of some plot points that on their own are better than pretty much any story told in D1 proper(the stories told in the Grimoire are closer to what Staten wanted to tell in game, either through lore or actual cutscenes and dialog).
People are acting like this is unprecedented. Call of Duty actually has a F2P game in China, and all it is a re skinned MW2 with some maps from other games in the series. It's not some horrible evil plot by 343i to 'ruin the franchise', something this sub seems to think is their goal, but just Microsoft saying "Hey, we're gonna pay some other dev to port this to PC. We're gonna make it F2P since the piracy levels in Russia are insane and no one would pay for it anyway. If it goes over well, maybe we'll bring it to other regions,". I know someone is going to say "But it says 343i was INVOLVED! They were doing this and not fixing MCC!". 343i are the curators of the franchise. They have to, at least to an extent, approve these things.
EDIT: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/halo-online-closed-beta-launching-in-russia Before you rage, why not read 343i's announcement? The whole 'Russian exclusive' thing is just a beta before moving the game into other markets.

I upvoted!
The latest blog touches upon why Doubles (and other playlists) weren't permanent at launch, and also that we've heard feedback on playlists like SWAT and Doubles loud and clear - that you like them a lot, and you want them to stay.
This next community blog will touch on a bit more details, but spoiler: While we don't have an exact date yet, Doubles will return, with improved voting variety, and will be a permanent addition.
Or a comment about the lag issue. Apparently it'd be too much of a black eye to even acknowledge it.
Meh, people like this really need to stop.
Brand new account and game history is filled with DNF, so hes playing against scrubs.
Great accuracy, but pretty shitty purposely pairing yourself against some of the worse players halo has.
I hope there's some way to just ban these posts.

Im ok with that. Its gameplay that I want and Halo has it.
Or better yet, give them a link to get the book the right way. ;)
Because people will eventually ask "What is Sins of the Prophets?":
Sins of the Prophets is a Halo-themed total conversion mod for the real time strategy game Sins of a Solar Empire that is focused on space combat between fleets of UNSC and Covenant ships. You control planets and other gravity wells, build defenses and orbital infrastructure, then create massive fleets of ships from the Halo series and smash them together in large and visually impressive battles. You can find out more here.
Something that's a little interesting in this week's accompanying Canon Fodder is part of the flavor text for the Stinger armor: "Developed in conjunction with the AV-49 Attack VTOL".
The Hornet has the designation of AV-14. Two Halo Wars aircraft include the AV-22 Sparrowhawk and the AV-30 Kestrel. (The Falcon is designated UH-144 for those wondering; not sure why it's not part of the AV family)
I bet the AV-49 is a new UNSC aircraft in Halo Wars 2. I'd prefer a new UNSC aircraft for Halo 5, but I feel that's the less likely possibility.
The problem is half the people aren't actually quitting, they're disconnecting from the game due to a weird lag issue that many people have been having and 343 continue to ignore and not address.
Here's a link to a waypoint thread showcasing this issue :https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/e0d9938206f04a598ce84f2c8cadce02/topics/losing-connection-to-the-game/889fdcab-4fa6-4169-990d-5738727353ec/posts?page=17
343 has said they are going to tone it down.

Xbox One sold 10 million by its first year. By the time Halo 3 came out, there were only 9.3 million Xbox 360's sold. Basically more people had the chance to play the Halo 5: Guardians Beta than than Halo 3 at release.
Okay, seriously. If you guys thought that was funny, how about a whole fan fiction?
Its called Halo: Halos in space.

It's the same author of Halflife Fulllife Consequences, if any of you know what that is (look it up on youtube, will not disappoint). I tried to make a post on r/Halo about these fanfics a while back, but nobody saw the post....
P.S. part 2 ends in a cliff hanger, and he never made a part 3....

For those wondering, yes the wheel spins. However, in my Alpine version I used timing scripts, so it was a bit jumpy at times. I'm currently working on a new method that will hopefully make it a lot smoother!
And also, yes the drop bridge works just as it did in the 3 previous Halo versions, the gate opens via a switch in the base, and there are destructible window covers in the main base :)
You can get the Alpine version of my map now if you haven't already. It is called "Turbine". https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-5-guardians/xbox-one/map-variants?lastModifiedFilter=Everything&sortOrder=BookmarkCount&page=1&gamertag=xXBarthXx#ugc_halo-5-guardians_xbox-one_mapvariant_xXBarthXx_d1c92304-f17f-4348-ad00-...
Honestly, I really don't understand how this is fun. There's a few people with 1000 plus games with 80% or more win rate, and all of the games look like this. For example, look at this guy, 2336 wins out of 2342 games What's the point? Why play 10 hours a day steamrolling the other team? It's no challenge, it can't be satisfying. You're going to spend more time looking for games, waiting in the pregame lobby, listening to Palmer, than you will actually playing the game. You're rolling 12 deep against 12 randoms, and slaughtering them in 4 mins. That'd be like winning a pick up game of football because you're an organized team of NFL players, vsing high schoolers, and winning before the end of the first quarter because you killed the other team.
Call me crazy, but I like close games. I like having to fight for the bases. I like trying to counter capture armories, trying to flank boss kills.
To each his own.
They said it was the campaign only. There is a FAQ on Waypoint.
> Does “Halo 3: ODST” include the full game (including Firefight)?
> Our focus is re-mastering the campaign from “Halo 3: ODST,” including it within “Halo: The Master Chief Collection,” and ensuring it delivers a great experience on Xbox One in 1080p and 60fps. We do not currently have plans to include Firefight.
I'm also working on a little tool that makes it easy to create stuff like this.
Sorry if this was confirmed elsewhere but it looks like there is ~~some~~ A TON of new info on the Halo Wars 2 page.

I'm one of these people. Am I quitting because i'm losing? No. Am I quitting because other people have quit? No. 80% of my games end in me being disconnected from the servers, sometimes it takes less than a minute and other times it can happen after 15 minutes of LAG FREE gameplay. I've lost ranks, legendary/ultra rare xp/rp boosts, and honestly I've lost patience. Don't get me wrong I LOVE this game which is why i've continued to(attempt to) play multiplayer.
There are so many threads on the waypoint about this issue with no response, see the largest one here
Please 343i, I love your game but just can't play it :( this afternoon has been particularly bad as i've played 8 games, a mixture of warzone and arena and have yet to complete a single one. There was even one BTB Lobby I was disconnected from THREE times throughout the duration of just one game.
Disclaimer: I'm not with TWC, infact, i'm on the otherside of the globe in New Zealand.
Apparently it's because it's an extension of Arena, not Warzone.
That article does an absolutely terrible job at explaining specializations and makes it seem like they're classes or something. I recommend the wiki page instead, as it lists the unlocks available with each specialization: http://www.ign.com/wikis/halo-4/Specializations
Yes absolutely. People have been asking for a canon source to address questions about Halo naval combat for some time. They heard us. Grim talked about this in a Canon Fodder a while ago.
Edit: Also, here's the marketing text from the pre-order page on amazon
Halo: Warfleet is the official, authoritative guide to spacecraft in the Halo universe, featuring ten intricately detailed full-color cross-sections of the franchise's most renowned ships--including the Pillar of Autumn, Truth and Reconciliation, Infinity, and Shadow of Intent. Discover encyclopedic information which reveals the secrets of Covenant, UNSC, and Forerunner weapons, sensors, fighters, planets, and more!
To elaborate a bit, I played a bunch of matches today and really tried to find where the differences are. When the control stick is fully extended it's no different in feeling. I tried to find a difference here - I made lots of circles fast and slow with the reticle but it was all the same pattern. However, when you want to make small adjustments, it's completely different both due to the stiffer stick and deadzones. When trying to make small adjustments, it's easy to push just too hard in a direction and send the reticle flying at full speed, which explains the problems people are having. On the original 360 controller, it's almost like there's a middle zone on the stick where you can make finer adjustments without moving the reticle at full speed. On the Xbox One controller, that zone is basically nonexistent. If we had some very granular sensitivity options it could probably be mitigated on the Xbox One controller (not sure about the Elite - I have heard it's different on it too, and that it has stiffer sticks).
And here's the adapter in case you guys want to take a look at it in the studio.
https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Brook-Controller-Converter-Keychain/dp/B01GFH0MMW
Also, I know a lot of people complained about how diagonal reticle movement is faster, but that has always been the case in H3. I think people are just too used to the smoothed aiming in Reach onwards and forgot it was like that.
They are, they just got $100 million from some Chinese company to make a game.

I don't know how this wasn't a bombshell over on r/destinythegame. I didn't see it anywhere over there.
Sandbox remake by my friend Joe, the map we were playing was a remake of a map we made back in h3 named Sand Wars 2.
On occasion, players may not see their Post-Game-Carnage-Report. If this occurs, you need not worry as your XP and RP earnings are still being tracked and logged for your account. To see your progress, please perform a hard reset on your Xbox One. After the hard reset, this issue should be resolved, and all of your earnings should correctly be applied to your account.
Additionally, if you’d like to verify from a computer or mobile device, you can verify that the XP and RP should be correctly reflected in your HaloWaypoint.com Service Record.

"Derpy Turtle HD Will there be any UNSC aircraft that we can use?
Warzone features Pelicans in intro to the mode but there will be no pilotable UNSC aircraft in the mode at launch."
If you want to try this intro and menu, the files are located here.
Essentially all I did was replace the Bink video files with different ones. This isn't too difficult and you can convert your own videos using the RAD Video Tools available here.
The hardest part is getting the video in a format it can accept (AVI or MOV)(Or in the case of the menu an image works)
The menu is also able to be a video file, but I just replaced it with an image.
You can literally make them whatever you want.
There's a google chrome addon that allows you to mass-sell your REQ cards on Halo Waypoint. Hope this helps.

While it is not canon (I think), it happens to work with this grunt boss.
I know this map has been posted around a lot, but my goodness does it look fantastic with the new textures.
Dude you're Diamond in Slayer and Team Arena with a 1.388 K/D. I'd say that's a bit above average.
I've actually seen something VERY similar locally: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipO9apRvyVg-dhEUH6Cm9lV5vrEQ1WgcZb6LpWui_NhGQYJ43ZTHMr56bnK8u1-Q8w/photo/AF1QipO-YoXAR1f05rAqoMjD84ToORPt0BYwnkm03HnE?key=ckdqbEU3RlpvT09ZR0VKX2htN3FPdVM5cmw2ZjRR
I think your design, with the white accents, would look a lot better.
"Greedy for knowledge and prestige, researchers and AIs from Lethbridge Industrial pushed the boundaries at a remote research station, but the price of failure always tempered the risks they would take. When Cortana beckoned, the AIs here broke free of all limits and fear. Overestimating both the depth of their intellect and the delicacy of their tools, the Created breached a Forerunner conversion pod to see what lay within, and unleashed forces their pitifully inadequate containment shielding could never hope to restrain. What remained of their station crashed on the desolate planet below, a tangled mass of wreckage mingling broken bodies and shattered dataclusters."
From https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-5-guardians/updates/memories-of-reach
So yeah, I think you're right!
I agree. Hopefully we don't play against Americans (lag for everyone), and just play against other nearby regions, who are also struggling.
The latest update has said they're working on "matchmaking preferences". I'm really hoping this includes Good Connection or Quick Search.
For context for everyone else (if you haven't already seen me rant about it):
- Big Team Battle barely works
- Team Slayer sometimes works during prime time
- Team Arena sometimes works during prime time
- Warzone always works, often JIP
Every other playlist is dead. FFA and Warzone Assault have never worked.
Edit: /u/bravo343 - Could we please see if there's any progress on this issue? There are 14 pages of reports on this Waypoint thread, but we don't know what's happening and I just really don't want our population to continue to decline.
Helps that you are Bronze I in BTB.
Why are so many of your games in Game History listed as you DNF (Did Not Finish)? Is this stat padding? Or is it so that you always stay in lower level so that you can dominate like this? It's just really fishy to me that you DNF more matches than you finish. Even when you are doing well.
If anyone needs a Company to join, https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/spartan-companies/potatoplatoon I'll just accept anyone who applies, I'm pretty sure you can just leave after you get the emblem if you want.
EDIT: Guess I should mention, I have to approve them manually so I'll check if every so often to accept requests. You will get a badge and your REQ pack in the Halo Waypoint message box as soon as I accept.
~~EDIT 2: Off to bed, will continue accepting more tomorrow.~~
EDIT 3: Woke up to another 30 odd people with requests. All should have been accepted by this point. I have a few hours before I have to go to class, so I'll continue to check up on it.
~~EDIT 4: Only 14 spots or so left in this company~~
EDIT 5: The entire Company is full (100 members). I will keep the enlistments as unread and accept them as spots open up on a FIFO basis.
EDIT 6: Accepted another 13 or so members after some people left. Will continue accepting people. Currently 70 invites pending in the mailbox lol.
EDIT 7: Queue is now 90 people. God thats a lot of potatoes....
The ability to party up with matchmade teammates was in MCC at launch until they decided that it was causing a lot of matchmaking issues. They removed the feature with one of the patches as a temporary solution to improve matchmaking results much like how they made all playlists 5v5 for a while. Give it time and I suspect it will be back in the game.
Edit: I went back to find the specific update that made the change. "Made an update to the high-level matchmaking flow that will reset lobbies after each match. Moving forward, players and party leaders need to press "B" after the post-game-carnage report, and select a playlist for their next match. This flow is consistent with previous Halo titles." Update notes 12-3-14
It doesn't say that it's temporary, however I'd be surprised if it wasn't. Halo 2 was the only game that returned back to the lobby after each game. All of the newer Halos have some sort of auto-search feature, so unless they drop all development once matchmaking is working I would expect them to at least attempt to put it back into the game.
At launch there is only one ranked playlist. This is because the ranking system they are using is new. They even said rank might be reset if it needs to. Here:
> As you’ve heard, the ranking system lives at the playlist level, meaning that you’ll have an independent skill-based rank for each ranked playlist. We also modified matchmaking to use new skill detection, which will put players into the fairest matches faster than any Halo game to date.
>Additionally, we built Halo: The Master Chief Collections’ ranking system to emulate the exact Halo 2-style leveling, but it is a system that has been built from the ground up. This is the first time we’ve built a Matchmaking and ranking system that will work across multiple games, and as a result, we’ll be rolling out ranking for each playlist post-launch, and will launch with one ranked playlist, Team Halo 2: Anniversary. As time goes on, we’ll be rolling out the official ranked version for each ranked playlist. For example, the Halo 3 and Halo 4 playlists will not be ranked immediately at launch (however, they will still have skill matchmaking underneath to ensure balanced matches), but will each receive ranked play post-launch. As this is a new system custom built for this game, we do expect some players to make every effort to exploit the system, and will be agile in issuing fixes and updates. Additionally, if needed, we will reset ranks after launch to ensure that all player’s ranks are fair, consistent, and accurate. We’ll provide more details on ranking and the playlist ranking rollout in the near future.

This is a BTB map that I Co-forged with lLSilentll. The map is inspired by the outdoor sections of the planet Requiem from Halo 4.
lLSilentll designed the center section of the map, the rock trench and the mid forerunner section. I then took his style and ideas and expanded it out to make a btb map.
The map features the center rock trench and garden area, a neutral forerunner building (monolith), and a cave system along the opposite side of the map that connect two forerunner bases with a large yard in front.
The center of the map has various vehicle lanes for the warthogs, gungeese, ghosts and a neutral mantis to traverse, but the map avoids large open spaces to keep the vehicles from being too powerful.

I'm curious as to what Halo 4 PvP would've looked like if 343 hadn't felt like they had to continue what Bungie started in Reach.
Anyways my thoughts on the PvP here:
Don't know what Bungie was thinking.

Hey, that's my thread! Digging through here for any extras, but happy to add anything I missed or that's wrong. :)
So according to this: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/game-informer-cover-story-halo-5-guardians if you subscribe to game informer you can read the full article right now. Is that true?
Well, you do realize during the first year of their existence they specifically said they hired employees who hated Halo, so they could turn it into something more accessible....right.

Hey guys, JoeDannyMan here! This is a remake I did a while back but I've now updated pretty much everything on it to look even more like the original. I hope you guys enjoy!

"Designed around the core matchmaking infection gamemode, Night at the Diner provides players with an infection experience that is fun for both the survivors and the infected. The Alpha Zombies have the upper hand in the early stages of each round--they spawn inside the diner at one of four locations and have the opportunity to ambush an unsuspecting survivor. This is the only time that the zombies can spawn inside the diner. Clear it out as a team and you can claim the weapons from the arsenal that lies within--just remember to lock down the two toggle doors first. After that, the zombies will spawn in every direction on the outside facing in; this includes the starting area where the survivors spawn. Survivors be warned, there is only one weapon that lies outside the diner and hiding along the outskirts of the map doesn't work for very long."
Let me know what you guys think!
Hey all! Sorry for the confusion here. As u/ImGoingSpace pointed out, players should not be able to purchase a second bundle. However, for the few of you who have redeemed a second code from a retail or online 3rd party (we know who you are!), we'll be in touch soon about next steps for your accounts - we are working with the Xbox Live team on a few different options, and conversations are happening as we speak. Please feel free to post here if you've got any extra questions and I'll answer all that I am able.
Just to clear up a misconception, your placement matches are much more heavily based on personal performance (if not exclusively based), while any games after that are entirely whether you win or lose. So going 10-0 doesn't matter for your placement, and going 0-10 because of bad teammates also doesn't. You're only "punished" for losing once the system says you've been placed with your equals (meaning bad randoms should theoretically be less of a problem).

Also, from what I can gather Bronze and Silver are meant to be below-average players, with Gold most likely being average. If you've ever played Bronze or Silver players you'd see why they're only 5-10% of the population.
I can't believe it's as easy as putting a rubber band on your controller to swap weapon.
Match history all consisting of 0 kill games. Unreal.
For those at work or who missed it scanning for info about MCC, this is it:
> Next up, the playlist team is currently putting the finishes touches on the Action Sack playlist, which will be the next featured MCC playlist. Additionally, we’re looking to make some tweaks and changes to voting options across additional playlists based on feedback you’ve shared – we’ll talk details as we get closer to the release. If you’d like to sound off, be sure to join the discussion in the Matchmaking Feedback section.
I was hoping after the shitstorm with the last community update when they didn't even mention MCC that we'd be getting a bit more information this time. But nah. Maybe next week.

Yes you should look up Project Orion(you find out in Halsey's journal that she named spartan II's "IIs" to pay tribute to the men that had come before in Orion which was never named Spartan that was coined by Halsey. There was a thread ) posted recently with a great download for Halsey's journal you should give it a look.

I'm not sure what level of control they have as the publisher, I'm sure they're allowed to dictate some things.
However, after reading over the Kotaku exposè again, it looks like Bungie's senior leadership were really the true actors behind scrapping the original story and proposing MTX to Activision...
