Halo 5 Guardians: #huntthetruth

I totally love the art for all the Spartan IIs, too. So good. The Spartan IVs are okay, but not as great.

I find Linda to be kinda strange because I don't get the scopes. It's oddly fitting however, since she's the sniper and 343i loves to add extra scopes to that too.

Rest are good. Always liked Halo 4's Chief design.
 
Is there an higher res version of this i would like it as desktop background?

After they completely fucked up Halo 4's story, I am very skeptical they will do blue team justice.
Which is what I'm worried about. They have a chance at finally conveying the teams dynamic relationship and it'll either be done beautifully or poorly. Heck they could also be killing one of them off.
 
Kinda off-topic but related to hype is that I think the Warthog will be free DLC for Forza Horizon 2. Total speculation, but they already have the model in Forza.
 
so i assume the storyline will start with Locke and his team hunting down Chief who is alone...

then Fred, Linda and Kelly meet up with Chief to help him out/fight off Locke?

I just wish they didn't give Chief's pals those shabby helmets. I always liked the idea of Spartan IIs having uniform armor so their body language was the main indicator that they're unique soldiers. It would make them more impressive, I think. A faceless team of near superhumans.

Best thing about Halo 4 had been the relationship between Cortana and Chief. So I am having hope they won't fuck up the team dynamic. I hope neither of them are bros and no dialogues similar to the Gimli and Legolas' dialogue in RotK.

I agree, there could be some slight variations in the armor but the helmets should be the same. After all Halsey was the only one who could tell them apart.

I know that's more faithful to the lore, but I don't really care. The armor variants will help differentiate them and they all look awesome. It's worth ignoring the cannon a little.

They certainly don't look as bad as they could. Fred and Kelly look great, but Linda's helmet is a bit too busy. The most important thing is that they look different than Spartan IVs.

Here's another wallpaper I made, with better proportions:

So. The pieces will be falling into place later this day. Aside from the great image, would it be rational to expect something to come with? A trailer perhaps? Or a snippet of it?

It's not really ignoring the canon if you look at it through their personal journey's perspective. As the armor has upgraded over the years, so have they, personally. The Spartans have come to be their own person, despite their uniform origins. The same helmets and armor makes sense for their induction and the war they were created for, but over time, as they fought together and struggled together, a uniqueness takes shape. And given the upgrades to the armor, the "sameness" was moved away from, basically, and transitioned to being suited and stylized specifically for each Spartan and their abilities, etc.

Could simply just come down to them not wanting to look at the same and be their own soul, despite their predestined lot in life. I dunno. Just spittin into a barrel here haha.

Wow I already set this as my wallpaper.

Can you please help add a HALO 5 logo at the corner? That will look even better I think.

Thanks!
 
I want to be excited about this game, but I fear it will just be a poor rehash of the Halo shooting mechanics and nothing else.

Nonetheless, I look forward to the Limited Edition SKU of the game. Those have always been ace with the Halo series (unlike the Collector's Editions that usually come with cat helmets and other shit).

Wat?

They already added ADS, which changes the look of Halo's traditional shooting mechanics.
 
What are the chances of them ending this "event" with a CGI trailer featuring Blue Team? Or do we have any insight in how they will wrap this up?

I feel a CGI trailer would be fitting, considering that we can expect to see gameplay at E3?

They should do a ingame trailer... we already got enough CGI and Liveaction stuff that its about time to tease something from the game without an over the board CGI trailer.

I'd imagine they're holding that off until E3, which is fine with me. It would just be nice with something more than a poster.

  • They didn't show gameplay until E3 for Halo 4.
  • E3 is just over a month away.
  • They currently have other on-going advertisements that they don't want overshadowed.
  • E3 is just over a month away.
  • It's going to be their biggest game of the year and a huge game at E3.
  • E3 is just over a month away.
 
I think we'll have to wait until E3 to see proper gameplay, as said its only just over a month away. But I'm sure the campaign will have the spotlight since we've already seen and played the multiplayer. I'm guessing we will see something like the combined live action trailer/gameplay demo of Halo 4 in 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYTxQf9DN_0 (that speech in the beginning still gives me the chills).
 
Says who?

We got Halo 4 footage before E3 too...

So yeah its entirely possible to get some glimpses before E3.

I don't think we did? I remember the 1st gameplay ever to be the demo in the jungle of the Infinity mission and that was at E3.

I wouldn't expect anything from 343i. Like people said, it's only less than 2 months now. They are just riding the ARG train with #HuntTheTruth until E3.

And we got a Gameinformer Coverstory after that ;)

And im not saying a full blown gameplay walktrough, im simply saying some glimpses.

Forgot about that. Yeah, could happen.
 
Well I have no idea who Blue Team are, guess it's time to get reading, but I was already taking this (which someone has already put big arrows on)


as confirmation of 4-player co-op with actual characters who may be around in the game as well rather than just re-skins for the other players (Halo 3) or just being a clone (every other game ever).

Additionally, these characters match the 3 around Locke in the new picture that is being revealed so that makes me very happy!

Double campaign 4 player actual characters co-op. Love it!

Locke is team Playstation confirmed!
 
Yeah,Halo 4 gameplay wasn't until E3 IIRC. It was crazy seeing it and being completely blown away at the graphics though. I really hope Halo 5's campaign looks amazing.

I hope that Halo 5 looks amazing not in terms of graphics but in terms of scale and enemy AI. Hopefully 343i puts gameplay over graphics this time around because the increased graphical fidelity of Halo 4 brought some limitations that made the actual game worse.

That being said I can't wait to see campaign gameplay at E3.

This is probably, why we didn't see huge battles in Halo 4.

Holy cow, and their leader is blue as well.

The leader is Locke. Unless you mean something else, that I don't get?

The Blue Team members are Chief's literal BFFs.
