They usually start with Call of Duty, though if they really lost that deal it could be something like Tomb Raider, I'm guessing they end on Halo.

I'll place my bets on them starting with Halo, ending with a GoW teaser or a new IP announcement.
A big awesome Halo campaign demo is a great way to start the conference, especially if CoD (hopefully) will be MIA.
They started with Halo 4 in 2012 so that's my only real concern. Hopefully Phil will jabber for a bit before they get into it.

I'd imagine Halo would be the opener, however it could be the closer. If it's anything like the Bethesda, they started within five minutes after the hour.

New Vegas was mostly trash anyway. Fallout 3 was so great though.. This looks very akin to what made 3 excellent.
That's more or less what I was thinking. Forge needs a mega upgrade at this point.

I liked the quirkiness of New Vegas. FO3 had great atmosphere, but NV was just so weird at times that it made it memorable.
Also, look at Doom doubling down on arena MP. Mobility in competitive FPS is so hot right now.
I wonder how H5's forge will compare
MS Conference is basically 100% right on time. They are live on TV and must fit their content in that 90 minute window they have on Spike TV. Can't afford to go late like these other online-only pressers. Drive fast (or leave early)
I hope H5 forge is good. H2A forge finally brought some simple logic but having forge for cooperative content is really cool. We probably aren't going to see it until late summer at the earliest though.
Yeah, was honestly one of the most disappointing parts of the beta. You don't want forge maps to look forged.

I still hope for a superior full Forge editor to be on Windows 10 with publishing to your Xbox One or Waypoint account. Yep something like that please and it doesn't have to force H5 to be a PC game either.
Well, if Frank is to be believed, middle your expectations.

Yup. People need to keep expectations in check. After the beta, it just seems like the typical forge with the basic incremental updates I'm sure.

Yeah, that Doom forge is godly. Really hope 343 step it up, and not just drop it cause why bother.
Correct. But get your #weback ready to post. Just in case.

I think the hype is real for Halo 5.
Beta looked real good, HtT (Hunt the Truth) is impressive story telling, and GI & RUL screens looked amazing + details.
We're in for a treat.
Please don't cut back and back pedal on features. For ex. Spartan Ops. I bought the game assuming I knew what the product had available on disc and that SP was a playable mode offline. Me and my brother booted up the game and realized you needed XBLG and Online only. It being free is understandable. But that took the coop play away for good. We never touched that SP mode since then. Which is a shame.

Between Halo 5 and Fallout 4, I'm good. No more games need to come out till Zelda.

Yeah, I think those two are enough to keep me going for at least a year.

MS conference is on at 2.30AM Aussie time, a real test of my fan-hood.
Damn hope you don't go to sleep disappointed

Not likely as I'm pretty accepting of Halo change and enjoy playing almost any Halo game mechanics. Given what has been shown, 343's story handling (the wider universe) and the beta I'm fan girlin' about H5 campaign bad here TBH.
You're from Tassie yeah? Same shit time though mate.

I'll be joining you mate.
Stayed up last year to see once and for all if the MCC leaks were true. Went to bed extremely happy.
Tomorrow,
Will finally be answered.
It's gonna be a statue of Blue Team, I'd almost bet my balls on it, but I want another kid some day.

I like how we can talk about general E3 here, feels like old HaloGaf.

Well all they have to do is show some campaign footage and not a tech demo and crafting menus.

Man, Armor in reach was pretty much golden for its context. Really aesthetic.2 statue, with Halo Reach Legendary Edition style.

Didn't really care about Doom.
But that editor, sublime. The possibilities are endless.
Editor?
I didn't see that, saw some okay campaign footage and a multiplayer trailer...
Fallout 4 though? Oh my god, I need it so bad.
Oh that looks fairly cool.
Looks just like Time Splitters 2's map editor, although I imagine it's much more in depth. Not so keen on the snapping together of premade hallways and rooms (which is what reminded me of TS actually). It looks like it would be very easy to build something but it doesn't look particularly versatile.
The logic stuff on the other hand is something Halo's forge needs. I don't know how many of you have played the Trials series but Fusion (and possibly the others) has what looks like a very similar logic system and it is ridiculously powerful. I've played a Titanfall clone which was created using the map editor of 2D motorcross game, seriously, it was actually pretty good as well. The stuff you could do with these systems is insane.
It won't be in for launch, that has already been confirmed, afaik.
