Gears of Lore
By GrimBrother One -
Welcome back to a brand-new Canon Fodder, folks! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Today we expand into another one of my favorite fictional universes – Gears of War. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, a couple of beloved S-III super-soldiers are back, but this time they’re trading their Assault Rifles for Lancers, and taking on a very different type of Drone.

Guess who’s back. Back again. Fodder’s back. Tell a friend. Indeed, your favorite lore-leaning Halo serial is back! As for today’s issue specifically, it’s been a bit of an embarrassment of riches for lore fans lately with a whole host of new content coming in around and just after the new year – and from a variety of different mediums, including comics, novels, and yes, even a bit of new game material. What’s that, you say? Read on…

That's So Raven
By GrimBrother One -
It’s that time again, folks – time for another installation of everyone’s favorite fiction-focused feature on Waypoint! We’ll conveniently ignore that it’s largely the only one, obviously. Today, our newest issue focuses on some of the deeper aspects of the recently released Halo: Fireteam Raven arcade game.

Nevermore
By GrimBrother One -
Didn’t see that one coming, did you? Of course, I imagine the Covenant has felt the same way on more than one occasion immediately following an unexpected ODST hot-drop behind enemy lines. Yesterday we revealed the existence of a very cool – very different – Halo game experience, and we figured it was a really nice excuse to dive back into Canon Fodder territory to talk a little bit more about the setting and scenario of the upcoming release.

Calm in the Storm

Why stop at one-hundred? That’s right, Canon Fodder is back and we’re here to talk about some cool new lore-loaded goodies headed your way soon. Not too long ago we announced a couple of Chief-centric stories hitting store shelves – the Halo: Silent Storm novel penned by the incredible Troy Denning, and the three-issue comic mini-series, Halo: Collateral Damage. Today we’re going to dive into the time period and focus of these new endeavors, sound good?

Stay Frosty
By GrimBrother One -
After dusting off the canonical cobwebs from our Fodder feature’s hallowed halls, it feels good to settle in for a bit of a “proper” new issue. And the occasion’s a pretty cool one to boot – as today we’re going to crack the lid a bit on what is the first ever campaign DLC for a major Halo game. Plus, we’ll take a fiction-focused preview on some of Serina’s new units that she brings to the table in Halo Wars 2, and catch up on a smattering of other topics. Ahh... it’s nice to be back; shall we...

THE ART OF WAR(S)
By GrimBrother One -
Greetings, and welcome back to the first Canon Fodder of 2017! It’s been a while since we last met like this, with understandable cause of course – with the Halo Wars 2 Blitz Beta nigh upon us, and the full game launch itself barely a month away, the studio has been abuzz with activity on a myriad of fronts. With these things in mind, we thought it prudent to kick this year off the right way – with a salvo of salivation-inducing sweetness that we hope will satisfy the many lore-leaning fans...
