There is an image in a video that Major Nelson just posted on Twitter

Just watched that. It's tied to the preview program as well, which is leading me to believe there could be something Halo 5 related coming to preview members. I would say if you're interested in Halo 5 and are opted out of the program currently but have been in it before, now may be a good time to get back in.

Here are mine, apologies for dupes

Who is HYPED to see blue team in action?

So damn hyped.

 

[malfcn]

Haven't followed this promotion much. But these images are hype inducing.

 

[NoLongerALurker]

Been waiting a long time to see them in action together after reading about them the first time like a decade ago. Going to be sooooo good.

I think you're reading a bit too much into that, but I'd be happy to be wrong.

I'm hyped!

Probably but it just seems strange that on a day where they're sending out all these images, he puts up a video for preview program codes with an image from the Halo 5 poster in it.

Also not related to this, there is a new update available to those in the program.

[LordOfChaos]

Man, these are high resolution, the previous page is chunking my 16GB haswell quad system (probably not the hardware, but rather Safari). Links only from now on plox?

 

[samurai1226]

Anyone got parts that are not in my pic yet?
*see later post for v7*

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

This is one hell of a way to reveal boxart. I am hyped as hell.

All I got was the space shot with the two blue lights, so nothing new from me.

Would never be box art. Way too much to focus on.

I thought the box art was already revealed

 

[Twin Tails]

Current box art is place holder

 

[The Chesh]

Wait am i going a little crazy or is Lockes team under chief and blue team is under locke?

Why is it like that?

 

[samurai1226]

Here you go:

So blue team is 3 spartans, lockes team is 5 spartans?

 

[gAg CruSh3r]

Really bummed I didn't get an email.

Me too .

 

[Johnohno]

Wait am i going a little crazy or is Lockes team under chief and blue team is under locke?

Why is it like that?

I thought the same, but Chief is also under Locke's head. Probably symbolising them being above / better than the other team or something.

 

[Doffen]

Here you go:

So blue team is 3 spartans, lockes team is 5 spartans?

I see 4 .

 

[DATABASE DATABASE]

Fred is crouching next to Kelly.

 

[Johnohno]

Here you go:

So blue team is 3 spartans, lockes team is 5 spartans?

You can just see a rifle muzzle of a fourth Spartan to the bottom right of Kelly. Unless you mean 3 not including Chief, in which case, ignore me :-D

Edit: Beaten!

 

[LordOfChaos]

Locke is under Chief, Chief is under locke, also. Just to show the opposition, I think.

 

[NoLongerALurker]

Here you go:

Blue team is 4. You can see the barrel of a DMR I believe if you zoom in next to Kelly (Spartan holding the pistol)

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

I have seen more cluttered boxarts than that.

 

[shinobi602]

I haven't been this hyped for Halo in a long time. Come onnn inject it in me.

 

[KillaKalz347]

I really want to know what the Forerunner construct in the background is, maybe a new design that succeeds the Seeker?

 

[VinFTW]

Same.

Also this thread is breaking my computer

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

We seen it in the first announcement CGI trailer.

 

[killer rin]

War Sphynx?

 

[NoLongerALurker]

Probably a War Sphinx

EDIT: Description from Halo Nation

War Sphinxes were midsize Forerunner fighting suits used during the time of the Human-Forerunner Wars.[1] They were powerful war machines that were generally dropped from high orbit, and were capable of sweeping continents and decimating entire cities.

We saw a city that looked rather decimated in the tv ads from a few weeks ago.

Double edit: Not a War Sphinx

 

[GringoSuave89]

War Sphynx?

Nope

 

[BTM]

Got the email. My 3 pics seem to already be a part of the picture though.

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

War Sphynx?

Isn't it too big to be a War Sphynx?

 

[kosmologi]

So blue team is 3 spartans, lockes team is 5 spartans?

Blue team has 4 members, Fred-104, Linda-058, and Kelly-087.

 

[NobleGundam]

Isn't it too big to be a War Sphynx?

Yes yes it is

 

[LordOfChaos]

War Sphynx?

I've heard people shoot that down saying they weren't nearly as big, but seeing as these are Forerunner constructs...They could make a bigger one if they wanted. Remember, War Sphinxes were already thousands of years outdated by the time we saw them in Cryptum/Primordium/Silentium.

 

[Mix]

War Sphynx?

confirmed in a Cannon Fodder one week that it is not a War Sphynx

 

[The Chesh]

Locke is under Chief, Chief is under locke, also. Just to show the opposition, I think.

Wow i'm blind, it didnt even occur to me that MC was one of the Spartans under Locke...

 

[SmartWaffles]

The possibility of playing as Kelly, Linda or Fred in co-op is already giving me nerd chills.

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

I remember reading in an old OXM issue leading up to Halo 3 about what it would be like playing the Masterchief with other spartan 2s. It took a long time but, looks like that is going to be a reality.

 

[Johnohno]

The possibility of playing as Kelly, Linda or Fred in co-op is already giving me nerd chills.

Please stop. I don't think my hype levels can take this!

 

[BleedOrange]

HYPE! Holy shit can't wait to get multi-Spartan battles.

 

[kittens]

Okay, I'm starting to get legit excited for the H5 campaign now.

 

[orichalcos]

I am thinking. If we play with Halo 5 co-op, we are the members of Blue Team?

 

[shinobi602]

Spartan with the sniper rifle there has to be Jun, no?

 

[Kev Kev]

Let's step back for a second, isn't Spartans fighting other Spartans a bad thing? Maybe that is stating the obvious, but I'm starting to get a civil war feeling (the same way Lasky felt that fighting over taxed farmers was a bad thing).

 

[Mix]

Spartan with the sniper rifle there has to be Jun, no?

not at all, actually, Jun retired after the events of Reach, the sniper on the Blue team is Linda, another Spartan II from John's youth

 

[kittens]

Yeah, it's almost definitely Linda.

Spartan 4 reunion tour = fuck yes

Edit : Oops, I meant Spartan II, lol
