There are many ways to prepare for "Halo 5," and developer 343 Industries has taken a few key steps to make sure that fans will enjoy the journey towards the main dish of "Halo 5." It appears that if you look hard enough, you'll spot a number of clues hidden away in some other aspects of the franchise, such as "The Master Chief Collection."

Speaking in an interview with Kotaku, Dan Ayoub and Kiki Wolfkill, executive producers of "Halo 5" have revealed that there will be new scenes in the anniversary editions of the games in "The Master Chief Collection" that will provide clues to "Halo 5."

"We've added bookend cinematics that start to introduce some characters you're gonna see in 'Halo 5' and kinda set up the story that way. The characters you're gonna see in the cinematics won't appear in the gameplay of 'Halo 2.' They're just setting up some guys you're gonna see in 'Halo 5,'" Wolfkill said to Kotaku.

More than the new cutscenes, there will also be terminal levels in the game that will reportedly give more finds. For the diehard fans of "Halo," this alone may be worth purchasing the collection.
