Somewhere between 2010 and 2016, I found a podcast set in the HALO universe about an independent journalist exposing corruption in the UNSC. It lasted for one season, maybe ten episodes at most. Don't remember much outside of the Spartan program pretty much running on child abuse, and Master Chief being the human embodiment of roid rage. I'm fairly certain it was a flagrant copyright violation, but at the time i was a gullible teenager and thought it was official material for some reason. I kinda want to check it out and see if it is as good as I thought it was at the time—and I've also completely forgotten the plot, so all the plot twists will be new all over again.

I hope Bungee or Microsoft hasn't decided to blast it from the internet.

Was it by chance something by Rooster Teeth?

Not a chance, it didn't have a hint of Red Vs Blue

I think so too..info dumped for OP.

I think one of the Red vs Blue plotlines did include a reporter as part of the episodes around season 10-13. It got a pretty good following, so much so people called for the voice actors to be part of the official games, but they got.pretty close with caboose venturing into reach. https://youtu.be/Sh3AXwolioQ

So they started season 1 with halo 1 filming people playing the game and putting their own voices over it. They had two groups of soldiers in a box canyon with bases and they were fighting as part of a 'training' program for super soldiers like master Chief but were freelancers.

They even promoted the new games by making videos about them playing new levels.

They got access to he official models and did motion capture of fights for videos in seasons 6-8 and I turned out about the time the reporter turned up.

If you get into it, my recommendation is watch seasons 1, 6,7,8 and maybe 20 if you want more. 1 introduces the characters , 6,7,8 is a nice trilogy and 20 is the final season.

Spoiling a little . It turns out project freelancer use an AI fragment and tried tonmake super soldiers and the director did some shady stuff and I think the reporter got wind of some things freelancer did.
