Taking place between the events of “Halo 4” and “Halo 5: Guardians”, “Halo: Nightfall” follows the original story of legendary manhunter Jameson Locke (Mike Colter) and his team as they are caught in a horrific terrorist attack while investigating terrorist activity on the distant colony world of Sedra. Led by Locke, the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) agents are forced to coordinate with a Sedran commander with a remarkable history and deep-rooted mistrust of ONI.

As the plot unravels, they’re drawn to an ancient, hellish artifact where they’re forced to fight for their survival, question everything, and ultimately choose between their loyalties and their lives. Agent Locke is a new character in the Halo universe poised to play a major role in “Halo 5: Guardians” releasing on Xbox One in 2015.

Led by world class talent such as executive producer Ridley Scott (Alien, Bladerunner, Blackhawk Down, Gladiator, etc.), Scott Free TV President David Zucker, award-winning director Sergio Mimica-Gezzan (Battlestar Galactica, Pillars of the Earth, Heroes), and written by Paul Scheuring (A Man Apart, Prison Break), “Halo: Nightfall” takes full advantage of Xbox One’s seamless blend of high-quality visuals and rich interactive storytelling features, connecting the games and the series in innovative new ways.

We’re drawn to the unknown,” said Scott. “With ‘Halo: Nightfall’, we’re pioneering a new medium in terms of interactive storytelling on Xbox. It’s going to be fun for long-time fans to see how the worlds come together with an ambition to attract new fans along the way with what we’ve created.

Gear Dynamics is a custom gear shop located in beautiful British Columbia, Canada which has been building up a growing legion of fans on their Facebook page – and its easy to see why…

This is their new “Aggressor Gun Belt“. The Aggressor Gun Belt is designed to be a low profile, light-weight load bearing belt. Due to its HDPE core and strategic padding, the belt is rigid enough to support equipment but remains comfortable to wear for extended periods. The Aggressor Gun Belt utilizes an AustriAlpin Cobra buckle that’s offset to keep the front of the belt as flat as possible. The belt also includes two removable elastic webbing loops for strap management and overlap support.

Due to popular demand, UF PRO are beginning to look at making their Strike XT BDU system in the PenCott-BadLands™ pattern as well as GreenZone™.

UF PRO Silent Warrior Sniper Smock and Trousers

July 1, 2014/0 Comments/in Clothing Manufacturers, UFPRO /by Lawrence

Already in use with European military and law enforcement special operations units, UF PRO is now offering their innovative, purpose-designed and built “Silent Warrior” Sniper Suit on the open market too.

The UF PRO® Silent Warrior Sniper Suit is designed to fulfill the highly demanding requirements of professional scouts and snipers. As the functional, camouflaged outer-layer of a multiple-layer garment system, it has to provide all the specific features to support the user’s role; it has to protect against the ingress of insects; and it has to provide superb camouflage and concealment performance in the visual and near-Infra-Red spectrum.

As the Silent Warrior suit is worn as an over garment it is tailored with a looser cut than UF PRO’s Striker XT BDU system, so that it can be easily adjusted to fit over different base, insulation, and wet weather protection layers.
