E3 Top 3:

Battlefront (Can't wait to see some actual gameplay, I'm sure DICE will deliver.)
Halo 5 (Not much to say!)
Mirror's Edge (Cause Faith is boss.)

I saw Battlefront gameplay at SW Celebration and I'm still just as eager. My brief glimpse was really good and I'm hungry for more.

Sure I want to see some new H5 features like BTB maps.

Are they showing Metal Gear stuff? That's what I want to see.

 

[Haruko]

I never thought I'd be so excited to see how Chief deals his mammaries

Spoiler

sorry Frankie <3, but I can't be the only one who heard that at 0:44

 

[AlStrong]

She better have Leia buns when she takes her helmet off.

Not sure I dig the bulbous shapes. They're like insects.

Nathan Fillion tho

:O

If there's one community you don't trust with your life, it's this one.

Lol

Lol indeed. If all it takes to flip the people who implore others to vote with their wallets is a paragraph then... don't expect MS to alter the way they treat their consumer base. Money talks and all that.

(Don't mean to single you out with this Monkey, most of us are guilty of it at one time or other).

Halo 5 beta was fantastic overall, annoyingly so. Could comfortably be the best Halo game in 8 years. Hopefully they take risks with the campaign and shake it up. What happened with the MCC just makes giving more money over to 343/MS feel wrong.

I will try to get the game early xD So i can post impressions #Kappa

"It fell off of a truck, I swear."

[belushy]

Red Armor Spartan from Osiris looks reminds me of a hornet (the bug not the Mp vehicle)

 

[Forerunner]

It's all going according to plan.

 

[BreakawayMetal]

Oh man, I really shouldn't get hyped...

BUT BY GOD I JUST CAN'T NOT BE HYPED

 

[Zeouterlimits]

N-I-P-P-L-E-S

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Nice DMR you have there...

[Overdoziz]

Still can't get behind 343 (and partly Bungie's) decision to make every set of Spartan armor look completely different and painting them in all the colors of the rainbow. They ran out of nice looking armor sets about 500 tumor shoulder pieces ago.

 

[Mix]

Yup, we've come a long way.

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

Here's a better look at Chief's armor and stuff:

Here's a better look at Chief's armor and stuff:

Chiefs armor still looks best.

Although I do like the Metroid look of Locke's

Chief needs to get with the times and grab a BR tho Locke has that shit down

An interesting detail someone noticed on Reddit:

She is his girlfriend, so not surprised. Their relationship gets a lot of screen time in New Blood.

 

[GreyWind]

Nice DMR you have there...

Smart scope?

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Even with Smart Scope there is a Scope on the weapon There is probably some weapon customization.

Or he's having an affair with Virgil

 

[wesleyshark]

My.

Body.

Is.

Ready.

Really? I never knew that. Obviously it was alluded to in ODST but I didn't know they were actually in a relationship.

 

[BreakawayMetal]

Well, Fred is the CQC guy, I think it'd make sense for him to not have a scope on his weapon.

Spoiler

Of course, that then begs the question: why does he have a DMR then and not something like an SMG?

Pretty sure that's Kelly.

Unless you've got a Halo 1 shotgun I imagine you want a weapon to be effective at range, as well.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

You're wrong, Kelly has an EVA helmet.*

*Up until now at least.

 

[Mistel]

Here's a better look at Chief's armor and stuff:

Looks better with the under suit colored in compared to 4's version.

 

[Random17]

To clarify, I meant the fact that Kelly is the CQC soldier. Wasn't disputing the model

 

[wwm0nkey]

Here's a better look at Chief's armor and stuff:

All the little scratch details and material remind me of H2 armor, which I like

 

[thenexus6]

Can start to feel that SW Republic Commando influence in this with being able to command the squad etc

 

[AlStrong]

Nice DMR you have there...

Kelly confirmed to have bigger nut plate.

 

[IHaveIce]

Is it October yet?

 

[ElzarTheBam]

When details come out a little later, it'll be time to start bookmarking these pages.

 

[singhr1]

How cool would spawning be if it was like this:

(Section 8 gameplay)

 

[Ragnarok Flames]

Weapon customization... I thought there weren't going to be any loadouts.

 

[Mix]

Is it October yet?

soon(tm)

There is only 139 days until release!

 

[wesleyshark]

Weapon customization... I thought there weren't going to be any loadouts.

And so the complaints have begun.

 

[Akai__]

Weapon customization... I thought there weren't going to be any loadouts.

Not in Arena Multiplayer. We don't know anything about the other mode/s and Gameinformer is teasing that aswell. "Brand new and never seen before mode" or something along those lines.

 

[IHaveIce]

When details come out a little later, it'll be time to start bookmarking these pages.

Prediction time:

• Perks in campaign, every member of the team will have different abilities (special abilities)
• The new gamemode is a huge btb like mode but will also feature the special classes like in campaign
• New map will have a zone like a low gfravity area, but under water.
• Maybe some news what they did change since the beta

Never before seen, but wait, already there with Battlefield #kappa

Not in Arena. BTB is another story.

I, for one, eagerly await the inevitable meltdowns.

I feed on HaloGAF's salty tears

 

[Ragnarok Flames]

And so the complaints have begun.

I'll complain if I god damn feel like it. This game and dev isn't immune to criticism.

Do you know who I am?
I am king salt.


By the prophet naming convention: I am the Prophet of Slrp

we use them to pay the bills for ReclaimerHub.

 

[BreakawayMetal]

Pretty sure that's Kelly.

Woops, yeah you're right. Got them mixed up :|

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Ah, sorry.

 

[abadguy]

Nice DMR you have there...

Campaign: Spartan II's with classic zoom while Spartan IV's have smart scope?

 

[TheXbox]

Spartan II's with classic zoom while Spartan IV's have smart scope?

nah, think holmes said in the first bts video that every weapon has smart scope. Will probably function like the magnum or the AR where you zoom and some fucky hologram shit clogs up your screen.

Why are we actually only talking about these 2 possibilities. We will surely get other and non-Arena modes like Social Slayer, no?

I'm not sure that's a given. If they're going all-out with BTB, then that's where they'll want the spotlight. People looking for a social/casual experience will gravitate towards BTB regardless. (which seemed to be the case in Halo 4) Plus this is 343 so the game will only have, like, eight playlists at launch.
