I'd far rather microtransactions (in the PvZ style) with free DLC so the community remains united over the alternatives; split community or an abandoned game.

They are essentially doing what ME 3 did. I mean Warzone is a essentially a MOBA anyway. And game altering cosmetics is all the rage these days.

I don't think anybody disagrees with you, so long as the earn rate isn't punitive. ME3 hit the sweet spot for me, 2-3 matches (or less, depending on difficulty) to get the highest rarity pack.

Exactly. If its like play 100 games to get an uncommon drop then that would be wack as hell.

Shit, give us ME3 on backwards compat and I don't even need Halo anymore.

Yeah, I probably do.

Oh man I can't wait for that. Bioware nailed that mode, I never managed to unlock the krogan though so hopefully it may happen now thanks to backwards compatibility.

I wonder how hard 343 had to fight got free DLC
Click to expand...

After MCC, and by releasing Halo 5 the same year as a new Battlefront and Black Ops 3, probably not too hard. 343 had to project population will plummet like a rock no matter what they did in 2-3 weeks. So by making dlc free, those that stick with the game or come back to it, there isn't the usual fractured playerbase anymore. Everyone gets everything. I hope they force DLC too like updates or don't allow anyone to play MP until they get the maps.

Yeah. They really need to force people to download this maps. Otherwise it would be pointless.

Oh, what's this from? I love the art, armor and clothing style here. It really looks Halo to me, more so than some of the game stuff I have seen.

Oh whoops, shoulda linked the original. Looks like someone helped out there. :)

Looking forward to it. Seems like it's Fred there in the full wallpaper.

I read all of it. What I think he was saying is that the small snippet was supposed to give you a quick look at what should be expected in the campaign. In fact he said, "you really didn't get to see that." things like scanning for important items, different paths to take, and issuing orders etc.

Since the E3 demo was extremely controlled for demoing purposes, what was shown is indicative of their actual design philosophy, not indicative of the final product.

That's what I got out if it anyways.
Click to expand...
Still, it should have been more indicative of the final product because all the things they are saying sounds good, but very little of it is shown.

Isn't campaign theater also not for H5? I swear I read it wasn't returning again.

"As for Theater, this mode is currently only available for Multiplayer. Holmes didn’t flat out say that it wouldn’t be available for Campaign similar to Halo 4 but they simply didn’t want to confirm or deny anything at this time because they don’t know if it will be there at launch or not"

Olivia's armor better be in H5. It and Tanaka's suit (in concept art at least) are the only two I like so far. I really wish they had made Tanaka's suit look more like Reach Commander + Stormtrooper the way it does in that Solairon art. She looks like a walking tank that could actually spar with IIs.

huh, where is this from?

Tanaka (left?) looks more manly than Locke. :3

Still not a fan of the new Buck helmet really. It's the side... things that seem a bit too pronounced vs Bungie/ODST.

It should be backwards compatible soon, that's the best you are gonna get.

Crimson Skies and Shadowrun are definitely worthy of some remakes or sequels though.
Click to expand...

Oh man, Crimson Skies. Loved that game, and I never even touched the singleplayer. I just replayed the campaign over and over.

Would kill for a sequel.

Gimme shadowrun backwards comp please
Click to expand...

The only reason I could see it not happening is the cross platform with PC. It's a first party MS game, so they don't need a publisher to sign off for the compatibility, it's one disc too. So chances are high that it will be compatible.
