You made a bad suggestion and you should feel bad
The drawing and coloring was fun. Having it all in a gif blinking very fast, wasn't.
Thanks for editing the post, StarStuffToStarStuff.

I wonder what the ratio is for quitters vs disconnects. I want to say there's more disconnects because I don't like to believe there are so many rude people playing Halo, but I know better.Most time is people quitting out ce, at least in my experience, looks like ppl doesn't get ce
It's still playing for me on mobile, but it doesn't bother me. I actually stared at it for a good 10 seconds, transfixed

Why, me too!
And then I think, "because fuck you Microsoft, that's why". Still sad though.
To be fair, the Halo 2 needler was always crap. H3 needler was a nice buff.

This is myself and Prinz Eugn both dual wielding needlers to no avail. Poor, sad, H2 needler.

First chapter of New Blood done. And... huh.
Too early to decide if I dig the direction. Buck's tone is pretty good, but a few big words I can't see him saying. But I'm enjoying reading it so far.
- Buck, Romeo, and Mickey are Spartans
- on a mission to save Virgil and the girl from the ODST data packs from Rebels
- Romeo and Mickey turn out to be working for the Rebels at the end of the chapter.

Yup. More or less my feelings so far. Again, I'm engaged as a reader, but I have no idea where it's going. With is good and bad, I guess.

Rip Bungie fiction
I predicted that's where 343 would go.
I feel confident saying now for me, the fight was finished, I don't care about any of the story now.
That humans would be killing humans soon. I wouldn't be surprised if we have to kill enemy Spartans and human soldiers in Guardians or future games, pit UNSC/ONI vs. Rebels or eventually UNSC vs ONI whatever.

Yeah I could see them demonizing ONI, especially considering Serin Osman and Parangovsky's actions.
Why is this a bad thing...?
It's a bit of a odd character development for them maybe?

noooooo hearing this breaks my heart ;_;
Well I guess we have to get more villains somehow
Well we hardly knew anything about them in the first place. The games aren't particularly good at developing characters at all. It might be quite interesting if we learn of their motives.

I don't think this was posted, nothing too major but has some tidbits about Locke/Chief H5 storytelling.

Liking that quote Frankie.

There's probably more in later chapters that explains their motives.
Good article. I am hyped for Halo 5.
Have a four hour train journey today, will tackle New Blood on there.
Sorry Frank, but if I'm playing as Locke for 75% of the campaign, I'm not necessarily going to like it. You can contextualize Chief perfectly well without hamfisting a no-name new character down our throats for the majority of the story. I'd rather play as Arbiter and hear Keith David than Colter as Locke.
Though you can pretty much kiss making such a huge positive impact on Xbox One, the way it did on original Xbox goodbye with the MCC launch and subsequent problems.
It sounds like a fresh take on a Halo campaign. Without something to shake things up, people would be complaining 5 campaigns of Chief might be getting a bit stale. Right now I'm imagining it like Halo 2, but instead of the Arbiter and Chief missions being completely separate, here one is hunting the other one, tracking their movements, trying to figure out what the other was up to.
My worry doesn't come from the games structure but the script and voice acting. Locke is going to be nestled next to Chief and I'm guessing the Arbiter. Two voice actors who know how to deliver the goods. Locke better have some damn good lines and some good delivery. I hope they did a lot of takes.

How can I understand something that hasn't been explained?
I'll just take it as "I don't want to get in a debate right about now" kind of post.

Lol that gif is great! Glad mine made it in!
"I'll never understand" means that you already have your mind made up on it. I get it man, you love Halo 5. You think it'll be the greatest Halo since CE, to you ADS/Sprint/Spartan Abilities are great additions.
But it's simple, I want to play as Chief in a game supposedly starring him and about his Master Chief saga. I don't want to play the majority of the time as some random guy 343 invented because their last character (Palmer) they tried to push down our throats sacked.
Don't get me wrong, I had no problem playing ODST or Reach and hope that eventually other games will allow us to play as other characters, but if you're going to pull a Halo 2, keep in mind, Chief is the star, not Locke. I'm just going off of what Shinobi and others have said earlier, where Locke is the star of the game while Chief has a fraction of the game play, plus Colter sucked as a voice actor in the few parts we saw in MCC cinematics, especially against guys like Steve Downes, Keith David.
opinions n stuff
I actually thought his delivery in those cutscenes was pretty good, much better than his nightfall performance (though that wasn't necessarily bad either)

"Sorry Frank, but if I'm playing as Locke for 75% of the campaign, I'm not necessarily going to like it."
Obviously. It's why I prefaced it by saying if I AM playing, I AM not going to like it etc. I can totally see others love Locke, just like they liked Commander Sarah Palmer. Colter was alright. Locke, Macer, and Randall-037 were the best part of Nightfall, but he wasn't as amazing as I thought, acting was a bit poor but he just seemed amateurish when it came to the voice work in MCC. There's a huge difference when you have people like Steve Downes, DiMaggio, Keith David, Jennifer Hale and others who are legit voice actors doing work and guys like Colter coming in.

Maybe through Locke we'll get a better understanding of ONI. It could turn out to be as significant to the franchise as Halo 2 was in showing that the Covenant wasn't just a group of mindless aliens we had to save the Earth from.
Fans will initially hate it, but appreciate it over time.

New picture, new trailer?
Huge difference in what was a fresh take on the campaign after CE (quite a few people hated that you had to play as Arbiter), and like you said, it showed the Covenant separately but tied into the story perfectly. Plus, Arbiter was more complimentary to Chief in the story, and people like Keyes and Johnson tied into Arbiter's story.
But going by what has been rumored or leaked, Locke is now the majority playable character for Guardians. Not only is the visual ID released showing him to be given top billing while Chief is upside down, but devoting Nightfall to him, creating new cinematics for him, they're pushing him hard down our throats like Palmer.
But back to the point of showing more about the machinations of ONI. Is that the main part of the story? In CE, we were told humanity was losing to their fanatical faction of aliens known as the Covenant. But in Halo 4, we're fighting the Didact, Prometheans and Forerunners, along with Jul M'Dama and the Storm Covenant. It doesn't make the same sense as Halo 2 no?
