New design on the Wraith.
The two images on the right are definitely more incomplete than the more recent image in the first. Ex. It's missing the middle armor plating between the base portion and the turret.

Yeah I totally agree, i cant imagine the kinda fan that spends 4x the cost of a normal game will be looking to trade it in.
The fact that it comes with a (n albeit empty) steelbook is awesome.
Op
Nothing will keep me from having the game preloaded
Looks more like a scorpion

What you can't tell is this is actually a direct feed capture of the game

//s. I'm sorry
You forgot to put glitter on the card. Glitter makes it special.
Well... I don't not like it.New design on the Wraith.
It tends to turn into a slog. Skyline has been my favorite map from H4 to play recently. Lots of different avenues to attack from, and plays nice with a few different modes.

Kinda like a scorpion or something.
There was a best of E3 thread? :lol
New design on the Wraith.
That's pretty bad. Looks like a Scorpion, especially those brown versions. Change for the sake of change I guess. If the last Stand of the Covenant happens at Sanghelios I guess it means they're also moving forward with vehicle/weapon design.
Just don't see why these changes are required? Do they not know Halo is a mature series? Some 10 year old getting into Halo 5 for the first time isn't going to care at all, but these changes affect fans.
To make it THEIRS I guess? I bet a lot of artists and designers also don't want to be handcuffed to designs made by Bungie employees from over a decade ago etc. Want to try their own hand at keeping it what it is, but redesigning it all.
Literally the funniest thing I've seen today. All 5 of your points are the exact same thing.

Apparently, I just looked through it. I'm somewhat confused by all the people voting for Shenmue 3 and FF7. We didn't see anything from those. Sure they got announced and maybe a small teaser trailer, yet there was no gameplay or anything. So I don't see how that was the best of E3.
My top three games of E3 would be:
1) Fallout 4
2) Battlefront
3) No Man's Sky

Who else is thinking about having an elite controller? It's everything I have wanted in a controller so I don't know if I can resist lol
It's cool, but while the price is fair it's more than I'm willing to spend. My 360 controller works fine for PC and I don't have any major complaints with the XB1 controller that justifies tossing aside the ones I have. As a long-time default Halo player the control schemes have never been an issue.

I already have a Scuf, so for me it'll come down to how good of quality the Elite is. If the quality is significantly improved, I'll probably get one. If it isn't, I'll probably just continue to use my Scuf or wait for it to drop in price.
I'm getting more tempted by the day.
Being able to have Bumper Jumper in Halo 5 with thrusters and maybe one other thing mapped to the paddles on the back is very tempting. I couldn't find a scheme that worked for me in H5, especially with how many control options there are.

It's kawaii
The funny thing is those old Bungie designs are better than a lot of their redesigns lol
With weapons and vehicles it's less of an issue to me since that's fairly easily explained within the lore (I've actually liked some of them like H5's Banshee or Chief's armor) but arbitrary changes should generally be avoided imo. Make something new instead of trying to force yourself onto something already good.
I'm thinking of doing it but not for a while. $150 is steep.

$149.99 is a little too much for me. Could get 2 normal controllers and Rare Rewind with that.

Hm, maybe there are vehicle variants? They mentioned you can get vehicles for Warzone in the req packs, but unless they're a one time use, surely your'e going to end up with a lot of doubles if there's only one of each vehicle?
They mentioned different weapon tiers, is there a vehicle equivalent?
Doubt it. Seems all vehicles have been redesigned for Halo 5. Banshee and Ghost look completely different, though while maintaining the same general silhouette.

Its moving so fast I cant see whats going on. In fact, even the original moves too fast for me to tell whats going on.
As far as I can tell, when you pick up the overshield, you hold a cup in front of yourself for half a second and then it disappears so you go about your day.

Someone here had an interesting idea about these being more "traditional" designs, as these vehicles are coming from Sanghelios when the war is largely over, whereas the other models were mass produced, war-time models, built on the fringe of Covenant patrolled space.

It's difficult for me to get riled up over the design of an imaginary purple space tank.

This is exactly it. Also the nicer long sticks will feel great. I have always wanted a scuf, but this looks even better.
At first the new rocket launcher pissed me off, but now I love it. The SPNKR is still there as a Legendary so I'm happy.

I would say they've probably been more like 1/8th truths. I can buy that sure, some stuff came up in deployment that they just did not expect (the user-side of the One is fucking mess, I'm sure the backend is similar), but it's so obvious there were other things going on. It's mostly just a convenient way to say there's a problem but not actually blame anyone.
But of course, if we do accept that the testing issue, that begs the question of how their test results could be so far from reality? That in and of itself is a glaring failure, just of that part of development.

I think all the redesigns of the Covenant vehicles look cool. Especially the Spirit, the best Covie drop ship.
New spirit looks amazing, loves those doors.

Pretty much this. I mean, they turn the AR into an M16, we'll talk, but the Wraith? Big, dopey looking thing. Not gonna hold that as sacrosanct.
Shit, I wish they'd redesign the AR, I honestly think it's one of the worst designs ever.

New design on the Wraith.
It looks like a Scorpion... Which would jive with their other insect-inspired designs. I personally really dislike it. If they're going to redesign everything they should at least make an evolution of what already exists and not a re-write (and ugly ones at that).

As long as we're committing sacrilege, why not make MC's armor chrome and give him a ponytail. Also plasma pistol shots should be red and the sniper rifle should hold 5 bullets.
Hmm, I guess it'd make sense that so many years into the war that the design of their vehicles could/would change. I'm not totally in love with the new look either. :/

Reach's AR was my favorite when it came to design.

FTFY.
I mean I like how they're making it theirs, but after the perfection of Reach's aesthetics, these new designs just rub me the wrong way.
