Yeah majority care equally if not more about the story as the multiplayer. I am one where the story is my first priority when I get the game and after I beat the game I will go onto multiplayer.

I just replayed the video. Second death bloop is really quiet but it's there.
I love multiplayer to death, but I want a fantastic story too. Hell, I kind of what an amazing story more than a perfect MP experience.

Ditto but add books into my story caring.
This is well said. To add a little to this, I'd be fine with soft kill zones for matchmaking, and have them disabled for customs/Forge.
Lol, goodness. Stop drinking.

Or better yet, give us some low-level options to play with soft ceilings as objects. The "push away pls no go here kthx" physics are already kinda there in one-way shields.

I care more about the story than the multiplayer definitely. I want 343 to make Halo one of the better told stories within video games again. There are some fixes to do along the way, but the story itself isn't so bad that it cannot be fixed. The bad characters like Palmer need to either go through some major character development or be killed off, and Sergeant Johnson either needs his own AI modeled after him or maybe an explanation on how he was able to survive during the events of 3 against Guilty Spark.
Regardless, the Halo universe is still very much fascinating.
With that said, I do want the Halo multiplayer to be good as well. The Halo story gets me to buy the Halo games, while the Halo multiplayer gets me to continue playing the games for hours and hours.
Maybe it's just me but I have never considered this as an issue in any game ever. Seriously, do people think they can just roam around forever in a multiplayer match? There's nothing worse than playing a map where people can sit outside the shooting zone and kill everyone from outside the match.

Same here. Halo 4's story wasn't that bad. Sure their characters lacked but the story itself wasn't that bad at all. I actually kind of wanna see where they go with Chief, Cortana, the flood, precursors, etc. It will be interesting to see if they can manage to build off what Bungie seeded and do it in a manner fitting of Bungie's legacy.

Nah, I don't consider it an issue in multi. I'm just staying it'd be fun to dick around in the outer boundaries of multi maps in customs like in Halo 2.

Multiplayer is way more important to me. I care about how the story turns out, and I have opinions and preferences about where they take it, but ultimately I'll only play it a few times, whereas I'll spend hundreds of hours in multiplayer.

Honestly after Halo 4 and the last couple books, especially the Forerunner ones, the story is basically not even a factor for me at all. It's basically fanfiction in-between missions as far as I'm concerned. I'm totally up for a cool campaign with fun encounters and cool environments, but I just don't give a shit about the story anymore. I used to be super into the whole canon and story deal, reading all the books and comics and such, but my interest just totally fell off in the last few years.

Ok, I just saw this gameplay from H2A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTptJT4binY
And it makes me both mad, and happy. Happy becouse it looks good and it plays well. But, it doesn't really stay true to Halo 2. It looks too much like Halo 4, still, since E3. They said its a new engine and such, but, it looks so much like Halo 4.
All these medals are ridiculous. Hit markers ? A medal for a kill ? A medal for an Assist ? A black double kill medal ? Its just not Halo 2... I don't know man, but it keeps me up at night.*

The smaller sizes of the medals felt good in the gameplay I've watched so far. I hope there is a sort order to what is displayed in the carnage report summary, medal wise e.g. Double kill shouldn't override a running riot etc.

The guy playing is terrible. lol He misses many opportunities for easy kills and then dual-wields but only shoots one at a time, etc.

Reach had the best medals. Copy and build off of those, please.
Yeah.... I'll be sticking with OG Halo 2 for the majority of my time with the MCC.

Here's some really fun Banshee footage on Ascension. I can't get over how gorgeous that skybox is!

In my mind Cheifs still on the Dawn adrift in space.
Change the medals back to old school medals and please get rid of the "plasma kill" medal, you should only get a medal if you stick your opponent. I prefer a smaller list of medals in opposition to say 4s over abundant medal list, (beam rifle kill, fuel rod cannon kill? Come on) hopefully they do not carry the trend over to 5.
But so far everything is looking promising.

I have little care about the story. Too generic for my liking and the gameplay never really deviates from the core formula, which I don't like. I didn't finish Halo 4. The only way I can tolerate it is if I'm doing co-op, which is always fun.
That said, I'm really only interested in multiplayer.

I was thinking the same thing, but who knows, maybe it's possible in H2A multiplayer?

Should we expect more we haven't yet seen or is that it from Gamescon this week?
The skybox on Ascension is absolutely mind melting when seen from underneath the maps structure.

It's one of the few games where the Story means as much to me as the gameplay. But, I'm also invested enough to have all the books, most of the graphic novels as well as Halo Legends and Forward unto dawn on Bluray too. One of the best, fully realised, universes for a series in a long time.

I wouldn't be unhappy to see some Titanfall-ish movement fluidity and speed.
In it mostly for the multiplayer now. Halo 4 was utter shit from a storytelling perspective from the game, I'm not holding my breath for Halo 5. Already, half the stuff I read in HaloGAF about what's happening in the world is from random comics, novels, or toy descriptions others have posted.
For me, the fight was finished with Halo 3. Halo 4 really had nothing to offer me, by the end, I was just playing through campaign to finish it, get it over with, same goes for Spartan Ops. I'm excited to see how Nightfall turns out, but I hope that the story for Halo 5 is self-contained, I shouldn't need external sources to know what's going on, like I had to for Halo 4.
Campaign comes first for me. Shitty Halo campaign = shitty Halo game.
MP is also important but I prefer campaign.
I think that's it for gamescom, ranking system reveal, halo channel news, halo 5 beta some details and a new halo 2 anniversary map
Well said, because this is exactly how I feel as well. But still, I hope Halo 5 has a good campaign with awesome levels, well written characters and a good story.
Edit: Also, please no more QTE...
Oh yeah, I mean I was mostly talking about the "story" of the campaign, as opposed to the actual campaign and level design. I think that is very, very important. You can have the best story in the world and no one would remember it if the gameplay sucked and was boring to play. I hope the levels are designed much better, not as linear, no QTE or enemy wave waits/button prompts, and that enemy encounters are improved. Here's hoping they knock it out of the park for sound/audio as well.

I mostly care about the campaign. I don't even need multiplayer, it's just a nice bonus.

I will never understand why the perfection medal wasn't in 4.
Also those medals look amazing and are easily identifiable to any Halo fan, bring them back.

I only care about Halo for the campaign, the multiplayer is just the cherry on top. I'd buy a Halo without multiplayer...i kinda did with ODST, which was awesome.

Give me a shit multiplayer *cough* haloreachand4 *cough* and I'll be alright. Give me a shit single player, and I am dissapointed, mad, and just turn into a very hateful person. IIRC, single player takes up the majority of dev time, so when that is a dissapointment, the entire game might as well be a dissapointment. Halo has such a huge story, that even if I knew Halo 5 will have a very bad multiplayer, I would still be excited for the story.
Good single player over good multiplayer in my book.
