I just wonder if Halo 5 will finally match the visuals in the Starry Night ad with the new power (outside of playing well of course).

I love how calmly he talks after screaming, it was hilarious.

That gaming ad thread got me really hoping MS shifts their ads back to Halo 3 style for 5. Believe and Starry Night were some of the best Halo ads ever.
Not to mention the Halo 3 debut trailer still gives me goosebumps to this day. "I am your shield, I am your sword." *queue Marty iconic tones*

I'd say most games do now. Look at the Halo Wars cinematics compared to Halo 4's--the gap in terms of raw polys is basically nonexistent, it's the misc. systems, particles, what you can have on screen, supersampling and AA that makes the difference now. Starry Night wasn't that much beyond.

Yea for some reason MS ad are crap now. Gears judgement and Halo 4 were terrible and i was surprised at that.

True, I also just want more sections (even cutscenes) where Chief (and other Spartans) feel as bad ass as they did in the Starry Night ad and (especially) the Halo Wars cutscenes. I know gameplay needs to serve that purpose as well, but sometimes it's just awesome seeing Spartans act like they do in your head (see Halo Wars cutscene, you know the one (bridge)).
The biggest problem with Sprinting instead of higher movement speed is the ability to dodge incoming fire, which gives the advantage to the more skilled player... which is the biggest change this entire generation across all games.
Remove skill everywhere possible = this gen.

Yup. If the movement is good and the maps are the right size, you'll be able to get where you need to be with no problem.
Time will tell.

I love sprint, but I can 100% agree with the shooting thing. I'd be fine with keeping sprint but allowing better strafing and shooting while doing it.

Microsoft has already made strong hints that they won't be doing an "always-online" console, GAF just hasn't made a thread about it.

I love it too, but I think it ruins one of the best parts about Halo - good 4v4 combat on tiny ass maps. Good luck seeing something like Wizard, Beaver Creek, or Midship with Sprint around. It just doesn't work.
I can't even play my favorite maps anymore because Sprint and the other AAs will ruin them.
While we're here, make Halo 5 a TPS.
Let PlatinumGames make it, it'll be a spiritual sequel to Vanquish.

Don't fuck with me Ply, a Halo Spartan-based spin off made by Platinum in the Vanquish style would be amazing. Holy shit.

I want the developers of Star Wars: Republic Commando to make a Halo TPS squad based game with ODST.

I agree that they should have a full fledged editor, but Halo 4 Forge [Island] is actually pretty good.
Maybe you haven't seen the good ones yet. *wink wink*
No. Only the BiRi, the InCinny, and the ScatShot do
/terrible nicknames
The Boltshot has me confused. On the one hand, they made it so it takes 1 more shot to kill than it can hold in a magazine, which makes single fire useless on its own. On the other hand, they made it overpower most other CQB weapons by giving it a quick charge time, far range, 1sk, and a spawning slot. And when people found that to be a problem, they nerfed the range instead of the kill time.
There really is no reason to use anything else in a secondary unless you need to EMP some vehicles.
But these would be on there.
Bubble Shield wasn't any better than some of the AAs other than not being able to spawn with it. Swap Bubble Shield for Reach's Drop Shield and it'd have been better.
We're halfway there with infinite thrusters.

Yea I don't mind them in Campaign. I actually love Sprinting around Long Night of Solace and Pillar of Autumn, and it would have been awesome if I could Sprint around the city in ODST. Keep that stuff for the Campaign because it's cool and the AI doesn't rage when they get Armor Locked. Competitive MP is better without it.

They all look the same. Some of the Forge Island's maps don't look too bad, but the Ravine and Impact maps all look bland.
Like anybody got a chance to play them! Seems like a perfect fit!
Dear god, imagine Infinity BTB Spire or Boneyard. (shudders)
Frankie, plz no.
Infinity cragmire. Yes.
But Cragmire was already on Infinity mode. So, dawg I heard you like Craigmire so we put more Cragmire in yo Cragmire.

Who would have thought.
Thanks, I'll try to get on and give them a shot later.
Aim for a 50 in Team Throwdown or whatever it's called.
Cragmire wasn't even Cragmire's final form.
