Comes home from work, sees this today is awesome.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Bigger look at Locke

 

[Obliterator]

That 6 year improvement.

Fucking incredible

 

[tiredheadcrab]

I posted in a Halo thread a few months back that Halo 5 might take a more ODST approach with Locke following in the MC's foot steps to look for him. I think ODST was pretty great in that area and the flashbacks really worked well for the game.

Also i dont mind playing as Locke. I am always open to playing new characters in the halo universe. Noble 6 and the rookie were great. Just keep me engaged.

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

That's Nathan Fillion as Buck from ODST.

Hopefully nothing resembling the dialog in that game will return.

pfff Buck's dialogue oozes personality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0VjwHY81lo

he can also be pretty funny at times

 

[jelly]

I'm sending Buck in first every time.

There must be some great lines with him. Halo needs to get back the lighthearted side and still laugh when the shit hits the fan, humans are just like that.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Locke looks Amazing.

[The Elite]

Getting more and more excited.

Need to jump into the MCC single player a bit more.

 

[User 73706]

The light tan Spartan with blue lights / accents is Tanaka, introduced in the Escalation comic series that's somewhat bridging the story between Halo 4 and Halo 5:

The only Spartan whose identity we don't have confirmed is Scizor over there.

 

[Ruze789]

I had no interest in this at all, but after recently starting my replay of ODST and seeing this new and improved Buck... yes I'm finally getting hype.

 

[Archpath1]

I wonder if this squad emphasis will crossover into BTB similar to battlefields

Cmon cod has 9v9 give atleast 10v10

 

[ArchedThunder]

Yeah, it was my Grandma making the game and that's why it was so broken...

Why are people still saying this? They have written a full apology and taken full responsibility.

Because it's true? MCC was done by a multitude of companies with oversight from 343, but they didn't make it. They apologized because they let if happen. The mess that is MCC doesn't mean 343 couldn't handle a PC port of Halo 5.
I'm not being an appologist either, I'm one of the biggest 343 critisizers there is and refuse to buy Halo 5 at launch because of MCC and Halo 4, I'll be waiting to see what people are saying a month after it releases before I decide.

Bigger look at Locke

Yeah, looks super rubbery, and his beard looks painted on.
And I just realized how dead his eyes are.

 

[MasterMongoose]

So pumped to see Blue team and Buck. I could not have been less excited for this campaign, I'm now I'm on board again.

I truly hope that all of 343's missteps with the MCC have been because they've been much more devoted to this game. I don't want my heartbroken again, but I can only hope for now.

 

[User 73706]

That is a lot of Star Wars.

Reminds me of the skyboxes you'd see in Reach.

 

[TheOddOne]

Am I a bad person for laughing at Frankie saying "Mamories."

I am a child.

 

[bearythebear]

So Nathan Fillion and dude from The Good Wife?

 

[Obscured]

That is a lot of Star Wars.

I have a feeling BTB will be huge, finally going beyond 8v8, so who knows. Big maps allow for crazy shit like that.

Star Halo Wars: Battlefront

Which sounds like a criticism... it is not.

I'd really like to seem some bigger BTB player counts, I want it to be a war.

 

[EGM1966]

Enjoy it all. I'm going to probably skip it - first Halo FPS game I'll have done so - as the direction and EU just aren't of interest to me.

Nice to see enthusiasm though. Board has felt fairly bullish of late for some reason (could just be me of course).

 

[Gravemind IV]

So, they bringing back the classic Halo theme? Or was that more of a choice on GI's part..

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

So who wants to bite the bullet and post scans when it comes out?

Spoiler

i'm kidding, spare me mods

So, they bringing back the classic Halo theme? Or was that more of a choice on GI's part..

sounded like a new composition to me, personally

 

[kittens]

Am I a bad person for laughing at Frankie saying "Mamories."

I am a child.

I laughed too. Which means that yes, you're a bad person.

 

[CalamityPixel]

So, they bringing back the classic Halo theme? Or was that more of a choice on GI's part..

With Kaz in charge, it appears we are seeing more of Marty's repetitive rhythms being heard again. They can be heard in the Vidocs.

So, I imagine that the Halo theme will be returning, if not, why the hell not 343?

 

[Akai__]

Funny enough, because 343i was working on the netcode and it's the thing that was broken the most and literally unplayable. Really don't see why we should blame Certain Affinity for the maps, Blur for the cutscenes, Sabre for the remastered graphics or Ruffian Games for the ports, because those things actually worked with slight issues. Only ones to blame are the people who put that whole thing together and that was 343i and United Front probably (UI design). Well and maybe the publisher, because they probably didn't give them enough time. Enough of the derailing, though.

I just hope it doesn't happen again.

 

[Jellycrackers]

So, they bringing back the classic Halo theme? Or was that more of a choice on GI's part..

It definitely had more instruments layered in with it. Not a variation we've ever heard before, which means it's most likely from the H5G Soundtrack.

 

[TheOddOne]

I laughed too. Which means that yes, you're a bad person.

 

[Stinkles]

I laughed too. Which means that yes, you're a bad person.

And a racist.

 

[User 73706]

"Mammaries"

So, they bringing back the classic Halo theme? Or was that more of a choice on GI's part..

It's shown up in multiple pieces of H5-related media. I think it's safe to say it'll at least have a modicum of presence on, like, the title screen or something.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

That 6 year improvement.

his hair part switched sides?

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

his hair part switched sides?

And he's lost weight...

 

[Fata1moose]

And he's lost weight...

War is hell.

 

[Loxley]

I like that despite the newer Spartans having more organic, evolved armor, Chief and the rest of Blue Team still look pretty industrial. You really get the impression that they're the old war-horses.

 

[dh4niel]

They got that Fillion handsome-ness just right.

 

[Simply Sami]

I hope the coop has matchmaking this time. Sometimes hard to get people to play Halo after the launch period.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

so it wasn't just me? thank God I thought I was turning into Elzar

Halo 5 |OT2| Thanks for the Mammaries

 

[Apoleptica]

So is Buck a spartan now, when did this happen? And where did all of those new Spartans pop out from? I thought Master Chief was the last one.

 

[Computer]

I need Halo 5 so bad. I cant seam to slow my heart rate. I am afraid of what may happen to me during E3.

 

[Akai__]

Nano machines improved his hair style. This is the 26th century damn it.

And he's lost weight...

Guess that happens, if you want to become a Spartan. Although he isn't really one and just a Spartan 4 scrub.

 

[Outrun]

I already paid off my legendary Halo 5 box of goodness.

I hope that we get to find out next week what is included in it!

Super excited for Halo 5. We have the conclusion of HuntTheTruth on Sunday, and E3 on Monday....

 

[TheOddOne]

YEEEEEEEEEEEES.

 

[User 73706]

Spartan-IV augmentations are a harsh mistress. It's a Space Toupee.

 

[Raide]

Stinkles...

Talk to me about Forge...

 

[Moa]

A lot of stuff if covered in the Halo novels. Buck becoming a Spartan IV is covered in Halo: New Blood.

 

[Final Verdict]

My body is ready!!

 

[Balmung421]

Holy fuck I am hyped

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Buck?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy Fuck.

Buying an XB1 pay day.

 

[Glass]

People talking about the Locke model, but he just looks that buttery smooth in real life

Getting to be a spartan and Luke Cage, good times ahead for Mike Colter.

A statue of some sort then whatever else.

 

[BeekleMatter]

What happened to Halo 5 being only 2 player co-op campaign? It's 4 now?

 

[IncognitoPanda]

Looking at those Banshees... Oh yay more redesigns. :/
I'll reserve judgment till I get a better look at them.

My thoughts, exactly. The banshees looked back to normal in the cover for H5. The banshee was the worst redesign from H4, imo. Hope they aren't even worse now.
Then again again, my motto for this game is "I'll reserve judgment."

 

[jem0208]

What happened to Halo 5 being only 2 player co-op campaign? It's 4 now?

It's only 2 player splitscreen.

They never said anything about the number of people in coop over live.
