Shit what's not to like? Random tidbit: Battlefront looks amazing, must also have.

For whatever reason the video turned me off Battlefront, actually. It seems massive but... more empty than its predecessors, at the same time? I dunno, it just left me weirdly unmoved.

Might just be that I've got lock-in games I want to play and not enough time for others, and so there was nothing it could really do for me anyhow.

 

[Stinkles]

So is it safe to assume this mode is taking place of a Firefight or Spartan Ops type mode?

Yes. You could look at it that way.

 

[VinFTW]

Yes. You could look at it that way.

Understandable.

Doesn't help the map count blows and previous game features were gutted.

 

[The Henery]

As Karl said, teams of twelve against randoms will be absolutely brutal. Can't wait to see the first triple digit neg bomb.

RE: Forge

Now DLC is free it no longer has a justification for its limitations.

 

[Haruko]

This week.

If there were a hypothetical special edition Halo 5 Console bundle coming out, would that be revealed this week too?

 

[FyreWulff]

Seeing as how Fallout and Doom are allowing cross-platform mods for the One, hopefully eventually there will be a way to just build Halo maps on PC and transfer them over to Halo 5.

 

[CliQ]

The ViDoc of Warzone made me feel much better. Looks fun as hell, want to play it, Hype restored.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

No Falcon for total chaos

Has that been confirmed? Because 343i said they won't be revealing the full vehicle list for a good while. Which implies there's a fair bit more we haven't seen yet.

 

[shrek]

Yes. You could look at it that way.

Can you play this by yourself? Like just fighting bots with marine allies? Can you customize enemies a la Reach FF?

I imagine if you a response it will be of the "not yet ready to talk about that" kind.

They did? Okay well that leaves some room for hope then... cool.

 

[Akai__]

That was already confirmed. Nothing hypothetical about it. Question is, if they are going to reveal it now or at PAX, like the Halo 4 one.

 

[jem0208]

Yes. You could look at it that way.

One thing I was wondering about with the card system.

Say you had 5 scorpion tank cards in your inventory. Would you be able to spawn 5 tanks in over the course of the match?

 

[Twin Tails]

Should of said, no falcon in sight. But there is still lots of time.

 

[nillapuddin]

theres gotta be a unsc way for 4 people to get down to business

I haven't been playing Star Wars games for years so I'm naturally more easily hyped to play the latest series entry that piqued my interest. I did the same with the AC series, the pirate adventures of Black Flag sucked me in and I think I enjoyed the game more without having played the earlier games.

I'm never like that with Halo though, every game every time.

 

[Welfare]

TLG announced. See you on the other side HaloGAF

 

[Prinz Eugn]

The beauty of the Titanfall model is now Randall will feel useful killing grunts and not quit out right away.

"I did pretty great! I was only killed by enemy players, and look how many hunters I got!"

 

[Ampoc]

Warzone looks sooooo much fun. Honestly, can't wait to test my hand at it.

 

[RowdyReverb]

Anyone here interested in playing Perfect Dark? I never played it online

Did NeoGAF break just now?

 

[Poodlestrike]

Did NeoGAF break just now?

All fine on my end.

 

[HigherLevel]

Not really interested in Warzone but the campaign seems very Republic Commando esque so I'm interested in that for sure.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Did NeoGAF break just now?

It's coming and going for me

The Forerunner flyer is called the Phaeton. We'll definitely be getting oodles of impressions/footage throughout the week, but I suspect that the vehicles we've seen thus far are all we're gonna get for now.

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Really like this Promethean design

 

[Ampoc]

Anyone notice the music in the vidoc starts to actually sound like newer variations of classic Halo themes? Man, I'm so glad they're leaning against the original Halo soundtrack again.

I heard the original theme in there, in all of its glory. Frankie, can you tell us that the rendition we heard in there is for Halo 5 so i can have some peace of mind?

Same, plus the GI article said that for Chief, his music is using older themes. I like the music much better than Halo 4 already. Watching the Warzone ViDoc. Seems this will easily be one of the most played modes right away. Especially if they promote it better than Bungie promoted Invasion.

 

[daedalius]

Vidoc of warzone available somewhere?

nvm; found it. Looks pretty rad. Will definitely be the go-to mode when friends aren't around for arena/btb

 

[SlenderBeans]

This is really making me love Halo again. I just might consider buying a XBONE.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Vidoc of warzone available somewhere?

This one?

Haven't watched it yet so idk

 

[GringoSuave89]

Vidoc of warzone available somewhere?

Should be up on Xbox or Halo's youtube

Edit: lol see above

 

[Prinz Eugn]

Warzone looks like pretty set AR starts, BR as a Burn Card. Oh well.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Did NeoGAF break just now?

Between The Last Guardian and the FFVII remake I'm surprised it didn't stay broken.

This E3. Oh my.

 

[Omni]

Warzone sounds interesting.

The unlock system sounds like a mess though. I understand that you need to contribute in the match to call in ordnance or whatever. Which makes sense... But it seems what you can choose to call in is based on cards that have randomly dropped for you?

 

[Madness]

Pretty much Infinity without Infinity. Reminds me of Mass Effect 3 meets TitanFall. I think it'll be a good mode to just screw around with. Very casual mode.

 

[link1201]

I wonder if the art assets for medals is near final. I am digging the more cartoony style.

Yeah, even playing Arena will award you packs.

Sort of? You get packs from playing the game, which sound like they have random things in them, but I assume you pick which cards you want in your stash before the match.

 

[Zoso Achilles]

Anyone want to do trials of osiris in destiny with me? I'd like to try to get 9-0 eventually. I'd also rather play with halogaf since the destiny thread is impossible to follow and all ps4.

 

[AlStrong]

Looks like a pokemon.😛

Hmm. Destiny has made it so that I worry whenever I think of RNG rewards, haha. I can just imagine games being lopsided because one team got lucky at some point and can call in things like the Mantis while I'm stuck with a Warthog.

 

[Granadier]

Did NeoGAF break just now?

NeoGAF and Kickstarter both took a dump earlier.

This day is the day of days. I'm still recovering from the hype overload.

 

[Prinz Eugn]

Wait, I'm rewatching now... might be wrong about AR starts.

Definitely different scopes though!
