Yes, I was about to mention this. The halo games take place within like...3 months or so. I heard it today on Halo Waypoint.

The UNSC seem to have used Reach as a testing ground for a lot of experimental stuff(see HIGHCOM Armoury Omega), so I'm not entirely surprised at the variety of weapons.

Yeah, why's the guy publishing a shot of his keyboard? I came up with all kinds of stuff in my head. But it's XBox.

gee thanks

Seeing has how there is a dual monitor setup this can mean:
1. This is a development setup. Left view is for the target xbox while the right is for the development pc. Keyboard is for 360 input.
2. The user has two xboxes, so both monitors could be hooked up to both machines.

Also, the power sockets are conveniently setup with the desk space (IMO). This could be by luck or by actual design...as in a studio or home testing area.

My best assessment is that a friend of an employee or tester (as all of Bungie recently took the game home) used their shotty cell phone to raise the size of their epeen.

All I did was saturate a little to get rid of that washed look, reduce noise and sharpen :/

Did anyone else see the resemblance of this and a50 (The Truth and Reconciliation)?

Also, don't forget people have made believable leaks in the past

this guy is such an idiot for taking pictures of the monitors.

All Bungie has to do is watch security cam footage on that monitor. This guy's fucked.

Assuming this isn't take-home, which I wouldn't think it is.

It looks like there is a window close by on the left (possibly also causing the light source on the monitor too). I don't recall there being windows in the main play test area at Bungie's Kirkland Way studio. All the more support that this is a development terminal or someone's home setup.

If I was the studio, I would put hard to remove labels on the kits to act as a watermark in these cases. That or have on visual record where each box is setup at, office or home
