It made me immediately think of the smart pistol from Titan Fall. I don't they they would be that stupid to add something like that.
If we get taken out of scope when shot then clearly this isn't your standard COD-style ADS.

Wow, that gun looks comically small, it's like the huge Master Chef's can barely hold it
That map actually looks really cool! If the floor highlights every time something touches it, would look really nice!
Reminds me of those VR tutorial areas you get in games like MGR:R or Titnfall.

Nah. I've seen some speculation that it's just what they're calling the weapons with old-style zoom (as opposed to ADS).
Honestly, Smart Scope made me think of the Smartlink perk from Shadowrun. It's basically extra autoaim if you attach it.
Come on, can't we keep the shiny look?
Looks terrible. Painted storm trooper amor, bleh.

Yep checked the armor. That's the default Halo 4 recruit armor. Has to be placeholder.
I like the shiny too.

smgs have always been small
i know might as well drop it to 30 and ship it on 360 with these kind of graphics.

Its a pre-rendered image. That stipling is caused by an unfinished render.

Alright, good to hear. Probably didn't have the assets and animations done in time for the press preview.

Garbage visuals.
Also looks sub SD. Get your shit together already 343.

These are actually Spartan IVs or Vs so they are a lot smaller than MC and are not capable of wearing a Spartan IIs MJLONR armor.
Halo 4 ending cutscene really shows you the size difference between John and the newer Spartans, John was also not the biggest Spartan II.

Honestly, after watching the IGNs first videos reveals of Halo 1 and 2, I asked myself why games today are so worried about awesome graphics and cinematic feel. I dont even care if Halo 5 doesnt become a top notch graphical game, I just want it to focus on gameplay; and 60fps will add to that!
Basically, Im just asking for a trully fun to play shooter.
But yeah. Thats about the beta, from one year before release. So Im sure it will be looking much better till release.

Halo 4 ending was actually deliberately exaggerated; John is bigger than they are, but he's not that much bigger
Most of the IVs are 6'+.S0cc3rpunk

I hope you're joking. This is a beta a year out from release. I can't believe how inflexible some of you people are being, lol. It's like being a kid and getting to open your christmas presents six months early and complaining about the gift wrap.

Anybody mentioning the quality of the visuals in this thread is just fueling the bullshit fire. If you're doing this, you probably don't realize shit about the game...the fact that it's a year from release, the fact that it's on Xbox One and is going for a smooth 60fps and 1080p. If you didn't know these things, now you do, and now you know what to do.
Honestly, do you think this game will look worse than the same people that put Halo 4 on the 360? A little logic goes a long way, people.

We had a very similar situation with the Halo 3
I need a 3 times bigger pc screen to see this shit properly
I'm doubtful the game will be 1080p. The only thing they have pushed is it being 60fps

They're called Halo's.

Book lore puts them at normal human height and a few more inches because of armor. Master Chief and other Spartan IIs were this tall at 15-16 yo and were 7 feet without the armor.
If anything the cutscene was the most realistic as far as the games.

I guess people must enjoy crow, because they go ahead and put their feet in their mouths so early in the game regardless

Good god, the shiny armor screenshots... Why must Halo 5 have the terrible armor designs from 4? My god, they don't even look like Spartans anymore (aside from Mark VI).
Just terrible armor design. Seems like Reach will remain the king of the series in that regard.

Halo 5 seems to be using some basic real time reflections which is exciting:
Let's hope the armor and visors are placeholder, and we get to see some shine and reflections there as well.

this is a beta
one year out from the final release
using early assets
and probably placeholder assets
this thread is hurting my brain
Throwing all your eggs in the basket an entire year before a game comes out....on a Multiplayer Beta...
I'd say that's not stupid at all.
It's about as dumb as you can get, if you don't expect a marked improvement.

Spartan II candidates were crazy tall. It was a result of the selection for particular genetic markers. Like, even in their teens, many were hovering around 7 ft tall. Same reason George was so tall compared to the rest of his squad in Reach. The Halo 4 ending didn't seem exaggerated at all. I'm over six feet tall, and I've met Shaquille O'Neal.
Wonder if it's gonna be just a gameplay trailer or maybe a quick 4v4 with professional Halo players

"Players will notice quite quickly that first-person shooter mechanics not far removed from Call of Duty have drawn the competitive game just a little closer to the kind of quick reflexes and accuracy normally associated with aiming down sights religiously."
I'm not going to lie this part scares the absolute shit out of me.
Will wait for the Beta to judge for myself but it really feels like 343 is trying to abandon what makes Halo, Halo. Hopefully it still has that trademark feel.

Yeah, but a) normal human height has probably adjusted upwards a bit over the 550 years between now and the Fall of Reach, and b) the IVs are going to be big on average anyway, since they're selected for (among other things) athleticism.
Also, didn't Blur actually say that they deliberately exaggerated his height in that last scene? They'd know.
See above. I know the IIs are all crazy tall, but it's like 6-10 inches taller than the IVs, not a foot and a half
Yep.. And I'm expecting a pretty significant campaign reveal which could and should look phenomenal at The Game Awards or whatever they're called since Microsoft's early presale for tickets code is JAMESONLOCKE
I kinda got the impression those armour model images we saw were mostly for conceptual purposes, It would explain the caption below the images: "Early high-res armor development. Materials not representative of final in-game model.".
I do think the final armour models will look better than in these beta screenshots though, even if it just means improved shaders and lighting on the models themselves.
EDIT: Oh, yeah - the actual design of the models is quite different between those 'concepts' and what we see in these screenshots so they certainly could be placeholder to some extent, or at least design wise.
Whats he doing...
Edit: L1nett pls.
That thing that Titans do in Destiny, Yo.

Hell yeah, tonight is gonna be so much fun. Either Halo 5 excitement followed by MCC magic, resulting in total bliss. Or Halo 5 depression with the MCC to coddle me and dry my tears
