Yeah they pretty much teased H2A from the beginning.
"Rest assured your next Halo journey WILL begin in 2014" doesn't imply they mean new "Halo for Xbox One"

Doesn't look like it?

 

[iMax]

I'm curious about the resolution. They said 60 FPS but is 1080/60 FPS confirmed for this game?

Nope, only framerate.

 

[Phire Phox]

Mega-fucking-ton.

I'll never understand the hate Halo 4 gets on here. I love it. Favourite of the series after Halo 3 and ODST.

This, reach is the game that deserves hate.

Reach had worst maps, worst balance with AA No battle rifle. Game was crap compared to 3 or 4.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

Halo is their most important IP by a mile and this will be the big game of their press conference. This is not really a pre-E3 announcement. This is more of them saying, "hey guys, remember that Halo teaser we showed you last year, well you guys were right, it's Halo 5. Here's the dope box art. See you at E3!"

Halo is definitely going to be one of the highlights of the conference, but I think Halo 5 will have limited presence there.

dude. it comes out in 2015. not yet lol.

 

[mrjohill]

Box art looks really excellent. That has to be Palmer. I thought this wasn't dropping till E3 MS is turning all their clocks forward.

But why are they? It's not just sales data is it?

 

[TheVoidDragon]

I guess they haven't learned anything about armour design that doesn't look terrible, then. I'm hoping for some huge changes (music, UNSC design aesthetics etc) after Halo 4 got pretty much everything wrong, but i'm still looking forward to it.

That is a leaked trailer from the animation studio that created it. They and 343 changed it for the E3 reveal.

 

[Zakalwe]

Must we talk about cboat in every Xbox thread?

Cover art looks lovely

He just called it (that it's called Guardian's) in another thread. That's why.

I think it was the plan all along. They just presented it in a really shitty way.

ms reveals a game before e3: something's suspicious. ms in panic mode.

Rofl.

Hope Halo 5 is actually good though, I'll get an Xbone the second it's released if it's as fun as 3 and Reach were.

Don't care about the resolution. All I care about is getting big battles, numerous enemies, high quality skyboxes, non-linear levels back.

where does that say halo 5

 

[GYNGA]

Halo journey, not halo 5.

"During Microsoft's E3 press conference, a teaser was shown for a brand-new Halo game. It's once again being developed by 343 Industries, this time on a new engine, and it's coming in 2014"

[evanswolves]

so... WHERE IS THE ARBITER?!



Wow, if they make this character hunt chief down...

Thatd be interesting

You have chief there with Cortanas data crystal (yes?)
Maybe the storyline reveals that she isnt completely gone, maybe part of her stuck in some Foreunner tech, or theres some tech to bring her back, hence cheif on the run/laying low searching for it.

Spoiler

Chakas/343GS

(if the time lines are doable from the Forerunner book trilogy) could be Chiefs new "partner" (shudder!!!) and is helping him to find her/the tech and also doing so Chief helps him to find what he

(343)

is looking for at the end of the Forerunner books....

60 FPS Is important ...Yay for 60 FPS!

 

[VE3TRO]

Who knows but I'm sure it could be achieved. They did a great job with Halo 4.

 

[MysteryM]

Why does my gut say it's something more substantial than just H2A this year? Could we be getting an halo 4/5 ODST equivalent?

Edit: that was supposed to say gut not guy I am not an insider!

 

[jet1911]

It's 4k/60fps.

Is that a ONI Spartan V in your opinion?

[MistaBowaa]

From other thread, since it died

The helmet looks familiar. Almost like a DS4! Are MS acknowledging that Sony is on top?

In all seriousness, if this is going to be another split campaign please count me out. I was not find of the jarring transition to the Arbiter in Halo 2 (though I did love him tagging along in Halo 3).

 

[Twin Tails]

i bought a xbox one wayyyy to early

 

[Fergie]

where does that say halo 5

So it's magically H2A?

doesnt magically make it halo 5 either
they never once explicitly said it was halo 5 in 2014

Did Sony reveal any game early?

Also, you know, it's a difference between winners perspective and losers prospective.

 

[WooHooAlex]

Halo is definitely going to be one of the highlights of the conference, but I think Halo 5 will have limited presence there.

Between Halo 2 anniversary and now Halo 5. Halo will no doubt be one of the big stories this year at E3. I've been predicting Microsoft will close out their press conference with a Halo 5 demo tho, so I'll stick with my prediction.

I know that cover art! It's Resistance 2!

Lol yea, similar xD

HALOS


All hail CBOAT lolol

 

[Ol No Bones]

I'll never understand the hate Halo 4 gets on here. I love it. Favourite of the series after Halo 3 and ODST.

They made so many mistakes on the multiplayer that baffle me. Since they are releasing Halo 2 this year I think it will be easier to stomach a new direction from 343 on Halo 5. They dipped their toe into the water with Halo 4 and it never had its own identity. I have high hopes for Halo 5.

https://twitter.com/AceParty/status/467252271781515264

Spartan V? Highly unlikely. ONI/UNSC has just invested heavily into the Spartan IV program. The female Spartan in that picture is most likely Naomi, she is the only Spartan that stands directly under Serin Osman (Commander of ONI) and would be the most likely Spartan to hunt a rogue Spartan down.

Do share...

Don't have to say it outright. But it's a moot point.

Can't wait for Halo 5.

 

[Caladolen]

Pardon my phrasing here, but why the hell isn't Master Chief on top?

 

[ICPEE]

Jesus, im barely awake and this along with new Driveclub gameplay, and this is pre-E3. Fuck, E3 is going to be armageddon

Was just about to say that this is also a possiblity.

 

[iMax]

If it really runs at 60fps, what could it be the resolution?

It's coming out over a year from now (no launch window pressures) and I'm assuming it'll be running DX12 APIs, so 1080p with decent IQ is likely, I'd say.

there's not even a fable, gears and a mainline forza this year. try harder.

What do you mean try harder ? Fuck sake don't line me up with that lot

 

[Marvel]

Also Naomi is a Spartan that can be paired with an A.I. like John... I wonder, if it is her whether or not she is friend of foe.

Is possible but way put chief down instead so on the cover? Some think that is Cortana rebuild by the ONI in a spartan way, maybe is a rival of chief or his new armor but I don't think I am more for a rival like you in my opinion

So is it possible that she will hunt us down?

If ONI are hunting him down, maybe he's not the primary playable character? Would be an interesting shift.

He knows how to roll.
