From what's been shown Halo 5 doesn't look like a huge improvement over Halo 4....imo the game looks like it could be Halo 4. But hopefully you're right and it does look good in motion.
Ah. Thanks.
yeah man, it looks much better in the actual app on my laptop. Those are hyper compressed lol.
I hope the Forerunner obliterate the sub-species because they were useless to stop Chief & Infinity
and because their very designs are heretical

Played Extraction for the first time, I didn't even know what it was. It was a lot of fun though, reminds me of Salvage from Destiny. Wouldn't mind seeing it in H5.
Extraction was a lot of fun, especially the custom Invasion-like multi-stage Forge maps people created.

I look for particulars when comparing games. Halo 4 and 5 have pretty much identical art styles (see storm covenant), so it's easy to shrug it off and say it looks the same. So I compare what the visors look like from 4 to 5, where in 5 they look more reflective, have better texture work and lack the strange matte look in 4. The environment in the campaign screenshots is very similar to the opening level in 4, but there's obviously a higher fidelity with the textures, shadows look better too. Really hoping the game gets to 1080, it would look pretty great.
I'm more interested in what this indicates for gameplay though, I'd much rather have more open environments with multiple ways of approaching a situation and the GI article describes just that.

Jesus lol
the undersuits also look ridiculously better in 5
Damn, someone's salty that he sold his X1 after reading the GI news. H5's campaign is gunna be so good.
The game looks a hell of a lot better than H4, we already knew that from the beta.
Those pictures aren't fantastic but you can see the models have crazy amounts of detail, even in the MP. The pictures of the campaign level do have a very H4 look, however that's understandable considering we'll be fighting in another derelict ship. I don't think that's a problem though, the first level of 4 is gorgeous.
There's also some really, really nice lighting in that Fathom level. Reflections from the water and the light cascading down from the surface look gorgeous.
No scans remember. Also I disagree, the lighting is clearly better in the H5 shot, it's just less flattering, you can see reflections on Cheif's visor and some nice bloom. 5's model is also clearly more detailed.

Halo 5 on top. Halo 4 on bottom.
Am I delusional, or does halo 4 look superior in detail and in lighting? I know halo 5 is still unfinished at this point but... The difference is striking.

This is why we can't have nice things, like un-crushed blacks.

I'd say lets wait for official screens, not magazine scans.
That outdoor shot with Locke looks really really good. Indoor, it looks like they reused Halo 4 assets from the FuD and Infinity, but I can't tell for sure. Screenshots are not the best quality and a video tells you much more obviously.
Nice graphics are not everything, though. Hope the gameplay blows me away, because I could really use a good Halo campaign again.

This are not really "scans",,, they are from the Digital issue. It wont change magicly the look if we get this screens in 1080p-

:lol Yeah, people were saying in the split-screen thread. "Well at least you don't need Gold to play co-op online." Now the people complaining have even more ammunition.
Well, getting images that aren't compressed to hell and back will still make things look dramatically better. I dunno if the digital magazine was that bad or it's just how cruddy people are at recompressing stuff.
The images are still compressed to hell and back though. The game is going to look better than in those screens.
Also we already know the game looks pretty damn good from the beta.
Not liking splitscreen being gone is a legitimate concern. I know plenty of people (couples, especially married ones for example) that solely play Halo via splitscreen.
We even had a husband/wife killteam on our regular Halo matchmaking crew.. they were always playing via splitscreen. Only recently were they forced to buy multiple consoles so they could play Destiny together. They always had enough money to have two 360s and now two PS4s.. but a lot of people just like being on the same screen and being together.
Personally, I'll wait to see the final game if cutting split was worth it, but wanting split isn't stupid or an out-of-date idea. There could be technical reasons -besides graphics- behind why they had to drop it, much like how 2 player mode in San Andreas had to keep you on the same screen because they couldn't load completely separate world tiles for each player.

I'm glad that they clarified so quickly- and the 14 days of XBL that comes with the game is certainly a nice touch.
Isn't that pretty much the default for multiplayer-heavy games these days (and with good reason?)

14 Day Buy and Play
Pretty sure it's usually 48 hours these days.
Indeed, they've bundled approx. same free XBL Gold with older halo games, nice to see them do it again. I remember I needed it way back when I couldn't pay for my own stuff.

Would be like Gears 2 where only the first pack was free with each new copy of the game that contains GoW 1 maps
