I'll be honest, slightly prima facie underwhelmed by the wierd big scale game.
SP looked tight though.
On to Battlefront!!!!

Disappointing. Thats all I can think.
Scripted nonsense. Montage. Here's a new mode. Meaningless montage.
Terrible.

Campaign demo looked like the "intro to spartan abilities" level teaching players to use everything they can do. Sprint (check) clamber (check) thrust (check) ground pound (check). Only thing missing was the overlay text prompting the player to do each of those activities (assume that it's in the actual game and this was just a demo of the tutorial level).
yo did you make a moba

The entire Xbox Briefing was a bit weird and dry :/
Weak showing for Halo 5.

I can't see mods for Fallout 4 working in any kind of decent fashion. At best I'd expect some pre-approved, fairly simple mods.

Anyone have link of the Halo 5 part, didt get the to see that part

Can't remember exactly, but I thought she said "our first Halo game" or something along those lines.
edit: First half of the conference was decent, rest was pretty slow after the bc announcement.

I was re-watching the single player video and if you pause at 0:40, it looks like Cortana's shadow is in the Chief's visor.

Still can't get over the GW2 trailer, amazingly wacky.
Campaign snippet was scripted nonsense, not exciting at all. Also reminded me of how much I hate 343's redesigns.
Honestly, Warzone mode looks like fun. In a total clusterfuck chaos sorta way, but that's always what made BTB kinda fun, at least for me. But there's no way to judge, it was just a montage scene.
The only thing I'm still skeptical about is how they're going to provide all these kind of different multiplayer experiences in one game. I mean surely Warzone is going to require it's own maps that are just for warzone, with its own scripts and everything. Plus the regular arena modes, and whatever else they haven't showed yet.

I'll be honest, that campaign showing was alright. The graphics and setting were AMAZING, but everything else was, eh. That new Covie weapon looks cool, but I guess I was expecting more.
Warzone looks like the evolution of Firefight, and as long as it doesn't replace BTB, I think it'll be a cool addition.

Full line was "Our first Halo game [applause break] built from the ground up for Xbox One.
Ah I see, that makes more sense. Thanks.
The new antagonist looked amazing

Interesting. I thought it was phenomenal.
Halo 5 stuff looked great, campaign was a bit too linear for me, but that's to be expected from and E3 demo. Warzone looks insane, super jazzed about that one.
yeah, any info on who that is?

Has 343 or MS uploaded the campaign footage yet?
Looks like they just did.

To be honest, I was pretty underwhelmed with Halo 5's showing so far. I'm sure there will be more this week/month with GI, but after all the hype of Hunt the Truth and whatnot, I'm surprised there was not more.
That said, I'm interested in hearing more about Warzone. Usually i'm a Competitive 4v4 type player, but this could be very fun if it comes out right.

Fuck off, Locke, I played Halo 3.
Anyway. Campaign demo was pretty linear, but if I remember right the Halo 4 demo was as well. It ended up being almost completely different in the final version. Hopefully the scripted shit is just for show.

I dunno, if MCC taught us anything, it's that MS is not afraid to let games crash on the Xbox One.
Halo Waypoint has some screenshots:

Am I the only who finds his voice acting to be jarringly bad? It was better in that footage than it was in the H2A Blur cutscenes, but it's still easily the weakest of the whole cast.

Anyone notice Palmer's voice in the Warzone stuff?

Yeah, might be closer to that than the GL, but the Bow alternate fire was sickk. Hopefully it can stick to walls.
It probably won't be this way, but Smart Scope for Bow and hipfire/hold RT for GL properties would be nice.

Halo 5's story is very secretive this far into the franchise, so I'm not too surprised they aren't showing a lot. From what we saw, it looks beautiful though!
The Warzone announcement was a total swing and a miss. I learned really nothing from the showing. However, the snippets of gameplay looked beautiful and smooth.
Hopefully we will see more of it this week.

I'm not sure, maybe it is just me but the from this MP trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av-N5smXFpw The game looks a bit washed out visually. Just look at the Phantoms, it is just... strange looking.
What was it that got people interested in the first place?
Cuz... I was pretty interested in everything. And I've been playing since CE.

"ayy lmao"
It does look rather meek for a rocket launcher.

Yikes.
Warzone looks like they took inspiration from Destiny with the AI.
More excited for Gears 1 than Halo 5
