Better to underpromise and overdeliver than the other way around. I think after last week, that's what they'd prefer fans do. People thought the countdown would be game play trailers, BTB trailers etc. But these trailers were well done. I wish I could download them some way. Every single trailer and video I have on my xbox 360. The starry night, odst, reach etc.

check you PM
And if it came out in Sept, it'd just be a month. There's nothing 343 can do to stop the masses from jumping off to CoD.
The beta had a limited number of people and I had the most competitive Halo matchmaking experience I've ever had. We should really stop acting like we're not going to be able to get matches.
And here's the Mantle's Approach next to my.....ok I'm done.

So I'm pretty sure that the girl Ellie from the HUNTtheTRUTH episode is the one who was sitting with Chief in the Starry Night trailer. She mentions sitting in the fields and staring at the stars with him when they were young.

Yeah the quitting is bad. Few matches ago, there was this lady and her kid (I'm assuming) on the other team. About 45 seconds into the match, she said, "I don't like this map, let's get out of here". Turning it into a 5v3 almost right at the start. Stuff like this really annoys me.

They have us intrigued without spoiling too much. I really hope it stays that way going forward.
Keep pumping out these mysterious trailers and show off the wealth of multiplayer options at E3 instead, with just a tidbit of campaign-related content. The focus has to be on its multiplayer and proving to this grizzled fanbase that they need to invest another 10 years of their lives into this franchise. Fans are ready for whatever they throw at us in the campaign, ready to try it out, but not everyone gives a damn about Halo's multiplayer future.
Multiplayer has to be the thing they go all out with at this E3, perhaps presenting with a match on-stage using their new Spectator Mode. It's just all exciting, a new Halo game, new things to discuss!

Here is the export for the whole survey, have fun:

Data key:
1. Answers to Multiple Choice questions are given in numeric form reflecting the order in which they appear, counted top to bottom.
2. Answers to Matrix questions are given as the column number counting from left to right.
3. 999999 = respondent selected the "other" option but did not specify a full answer.
That is fucking bonkers. They are really pulling from the most obscure depths of Halo lore with this RNG, lol. First some super minor character from an old comic, now this chick from an eight year old commercial.
I love it.

Under-promise and over deliver. Yup.
Don't make a girl a promise...if you know you can't keep it.

Also the music for both trailers were actually amazing. If you heard it closely, both had vocals from the original Gregorian monks! Hype levels are rising fast!

MB has been the hidden orchestrator for quite some time now. I can't wait until that bit of lore is brought into the games proper.

EDIT: Wrong thread.
This is the exact thought I had as well. If the population is going to drop because of these other games then it is going to drop regardless. It would be great if the population is huge and there are a ton of people to play with and against even after other games drop, I'm not sure we live in that world anymore.
That was my exact first thought when I read that, I was getting ready to pop open Photoshop, but then thought better of it, don't care to get banned right as things get interesting.
I like the tone of the spots. interested to see what they do with it and how it pertains to the game. As far as I recall there has never been a live action trailer that ended up being in the game (though the Didact capturing the Chief was in that game, sort of.)
I haven't been keeping up with the latest comics or books, anything in those that sheds light on what is going on here?
How are you guys finding all the Halo Online info?
I loaded up the game at 3840x2160 and it runs flawlessly at 60fps... but that is just me alone. Anyway, I took some cinematic screenshots of the four 'new' maps you can find the full collection of large images here - http://imgur.com/a/EKlDx

I want to run off that ledge and thrust towards that cliff over there, barely able to clear the gap as I grab the ledge.
Halo 5 level design could be interesting if there are platforming elements.
What determination have they made from these?

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought. Such a cool reference. I'm really enjoying the Tumblr Blog, but I get a bad feeling from these trailers that we're going to be playing two separate campaigns with an unreliable narrator.
I just want a fun, sci fi story that makes some sense.

Look closely at each picture again. Both parties.
Looks kinda like some photoshop stuff going on, but I don't see much else?

The more and more you start remembering about the events of Halo 4, Spartan Ops, and Escalation. That the prologue makes sense as to why Locke and Chief are about to pull the trigger. B'cuz Spartans never die.
Spartan Locke wants to replace the chief. And John won't stop at nothing to find her (Cortana). To fill in the void. His broken core. Struggling with his inner demons and whether he's man or machine. Agent Locke sees it as a weakness. Sees chief as a traitor, aiding a terrorist, and perhaps the real reason why New Phoenix was composed by the Didact.
How far will they go before either one will be "Missing. In. Action."?
Hire me 343.

Working on the skybox for the first map.
It'll be a reimagination of a medium-to-small map from Halo. What map should the layout be? IDK, throw out stuff you guys like that fits those sizes and you'd like to play on.

So Halo 5 would be going into History is written by the victor ending?
No.
The interviews set up by Commander Sullivan at ONI Section 2 are all actors, staged to appear as if they were a part of John's childhood. Dion (his teacher), Ellie and Katrina, all three fake. I'm not sure about the Insurrectionist survivor however. His story sounds both legitimate and very out of character for the innies.
In any case, the physical records that Giraud has in his possession from Elysium City detail that John died in 2517. His flash clone died months after he was abducted into the SPARTAN-II program, as that's what they were designed to do. The interviewees are fake. ONI is setting his history up to cover their asses.
