Greetings HBO! It has been far too long since I've laid eyes on your beautiful face. I've been spending my time over at DBO, but this place is still my first love. And I am definitely looking forward to sinking my teeth back into Halo in two weeks, but to be honest, I feel way behind on everything. I've got bits and pieces, but I feel like I am lacking context. I've got questions that need answering.

1. Hunt the truth. I have a basic idea of the premise, but I'd like to get the whole story. I plan to listen to the whole thing soon, but I won't have a chance before H5 drops. Is there a really good summary or synopsis of each episode I can read somewhere?

2. Other than Hunt The Truth, is there any other story or Lore stuff I should know about. Specifically anything meant to bridge the gap between Halo 4 and 5?

3. What is a REQ and how does it affect the gameplay?

4. Are there any major gameplay differences I should know about to prepare myself?

5. Part of me feels so behind on Halo news and info that I don't even know where to begin with questions. In other words, I am certain there are things I have missed that I don't even know to ask about. So in general, what other Halo info should I know before jumping into H5?
