I predict my first playthrough going like this.

Banshee controls are fucking awesome. They're like Reach's but a bit heavier like Halo 3. It feels great and is beefy too.
And here's the opening cinematic for Halo 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlY9XvaN_M4
This is what I want to know too.
Although someone said yes, I just would like specifics.
hyped!

There's a few missions I think rank up there for me. Mission 8, which was streamed is incredible to play for sure.

Mines told me 11pm

The Lunar White one. Dem grips.
Seconded. Lunar colours may be off-putting to some (It's based on the Lunar lander folks) but the texture grip under the controller is the glorious shit.

How long did it take you to complete the game on Heroic?

I don't recall anything on the scale of these maps, or anything as memorable IMO
But there are some vehicle sections that are large

Bit OT but does anyone with NXOE have any trouble with Halo 5? I know there was trouble with MCC not launching on it but I want to try it out and wondering if I should wait till it launches properly or not.
Stinkles said he was playing no issues. I opted out just in case.

About 9 on my first playthrough. I took a lot in though and looked for stuff.
I'm about half way through the campaign so far, taking it nice and slow on Heroic, exploring every little area that I can find. Absolutely loving it, have very few complaints and a whole load of omg I love it's. The new movement abilities are such a great addition from my first impressions. Minor general spoilers ahead.
All the abilities add so so much to the campaign play spaces that just add that little extra something special. Clamber makes everything more vertical, so you can flank/sneak from above. Loving the little hidey holes behind the walls you can charge through. A lot of the verticality/numerous ways to approach encounters is going to make this very repayable. I also quite like the pacing of missions, you get breathers every now and then with more chances to just explore which is great. Excited to see other people's impressions. Can't wait to finish it.

I'm still waiting on how much it will cost us non LE/LCE folks.

Thanks. Would you say the campaign is longer/shorter than the previous games when playing on Heroic?

Maybe a little longer but a lot less grind. It's a lot more fun than 4

Sounds great. It took me about 15 hours to beat H4 on heroic. I really take my time, like shooting from afar etc. So it sounds like for me it may be about an 18 hour gamer or so.
Did some footage capture tonight.

My opinion on some of the Promethean weaponry is slowly changing. I found the suppressor pretty dull to use till I realised
Still not a fan of the bolt shot but I do like the precision weps.
its shots will track the weak points on Knights, making them pretty handy at taking them out.

Sometimes the music still feels out of place and randomly starts without any context :/

After watching gameplay of the MP and campaign the past few days, I went and bought Halo 5 on XBL, and picked up the Master Chief controller. This actually looks like 343 has a winner. I've been critical of them in the past, but H5 just looks too good. Consider me IN(enlisted)!!!
Out of interest people who have played the campaign,
how many unique weapons did you find?
And are they legendary skins that unlock in the multiplayer?
I have found the shotgun (or was it a boltshot) with flames at the front, the red and white needler, and a sniper. Don't think I've found any others so far.

Jesus, Mission 3
is long as fuck and so annoying on Legendary. Just when I'm ready for it to end, it throws another tedious section at me. Will probably be much better in co-op though because Buck isn't that great at driving or reviving, SMH.
That cutscene was worth it though. #TeamChief

Mission 4 is probably the most beautiful Halo mission to date.
Like something out of Ori and the Blind Forest

Seems like that's who it was designed for as it's not Halo. Which makes it funnier that it would be in a ranked playlist with regular Halo when it plays differently. I don't know what the playlist managers are thinking there.

Hey Stinkles. I filled my 1TB hdd with screenshots of mission 13. This should be listed as required hdd warning on the box. I know I won't be the only one.

Hellcat armor description could be pretty big for canon

So the armor

Helmet: Tests with Spartan-II veterans show near-perfect synchronization with HELLCAT armor, but compatible Spartan-IV operators require an acclimatization period and tweaks to their augmentation maintenance before deployment.

So the armor
is from Ancient Humanity, and Spartan IIs can wear it while IVs have to have some other alterations. Implying IIs are getting pretty close to ancient humanity was, as some of us theorized.

Yeup, Mission 4 is definitely my favorite.
