Don´t Forget he is probably playing at low difficulty level.
Because that's them playing 4 player coop?
Aren't they playing coop in this video?

nope. in co-op the names are replaced by service tags/gamertags. also, only the AI can initiate a spartan charge without sprinting (@ 1:22)
To count the pixels.

Maybe because chief wasn't hit until about 3sec before Fred killed it.

Looking pretty good! Excited to see how it turns out. Been a long time since I last played a halo game.
To listen to the grunt chatter... Which appears to be the point of the video...
Hard to hear what they are saying if they are being slaughtered by over zealous AI or coop companions ...
It's pretty clear they're playing on easy... And even on easy, no one would want the AI doing all the work...
Halo 5 looks good, but yeah Locke is a super shitty character. So fkn boring
I miss sgt Johnson. He was a real character.

I don't know. After watching Halo Nightfall I'd say he's a stand up dude. Check it out on YouTube.
Never watched it cause forward unto dawn was lame. Maybe I'll check it out

How could you ever think the action hero legend, from the classic sci-fi thriller Halo: Nightfall is boring? He's Rambo and the Terminator had an action hero baby.
His blank empty stare and dull monotone voice fires up the passion. And he's black. Like Johnson. Remember Johnson? You liked Johnson.

Can't wait for Halo 5. Good thing I hadn't preordered yet, got it $10 off with a PayPal deal for GameStop Digital Gift Cards: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Buy-a-50-Ga...-Total-Value/281802861316?hash=item419cc26b04
$50 for a $60 digital GameStop Gift Card that I used toward a $60 Xbox Gift Card. Already had $4.80 in my Microsoft Account, so I am good to go. Just waiting on that preload (don't trust the Digital Preorder that is available right now).

If you didn't like Forward Unto Dawn, I doubt you'll like this. I liked FuD and Nightfall was a step down.
We really don't know enough about Locke to say if he's a bad/boring character yet, but I'd agree from the small slice we have seen, he's doesn't seem to have any endearing qualities.

Aww man. I really liked FUD. It was a slow starter, but seeing live action Chief was worth it.
What's there to not trust? When the game goes gold you'll be able to preload.
That was great!

That's cool. Will we be able to choose our character even when playing solo? Or is the character selection reserved for co-op sessions?Saw this on reddit (I'm not sure if it's been discussed in this thread or not), but each Blue Team member will have different perks alongside their loadouts.
Definitely a pretty cool touch, and the thread also mentions that Team Osiris will have similar perks as well, although the health regeneration is supposedly replaced with enhanced thruster capabilities for them.
I was going to main Fred but lol at one more grenade
Also, I've been watching more videos (some of them, like those from xboxygen, are actually from decent players, thank god) and I gotta say, I love the verticality added to the levels. Combined with all the different paths, the new abilities, etc, it makes the levels seem pretty fun to traverse.
I'm still iffy about the AI though, as I said earlier, it seemed way too passive most of the time. It is especially evident in the elites, their behaviour seems pretty similar to Halo 4, and I don't like it. They should be agressive and fast, like they were in Reach or CE. Anyway, I hope this is an issue related to the difficulty they were playing at, and not a sign of the AI being too easy and dumb.

It's weird they have everyone's first name and then "Chief."
Come on, call him John already.
Nobody call Big Boss or Snake by their name

They are entering two different styles of missions. That alone should explain it. But even then the way Blue Team was introduced was insanely badass and very good from an emotional standpoint. Also, the Osiris intro is a piece of the larger intro for the entire game, so it doesn't surprise me that was amped up to 11.

If that is the case then the rest should be called by their ranks too.

An old Halo tradition. Friendly AI will be useless at best and treacherous at worst.

Just fucking awesome really, absolutely love this stuff.
This video indeed really shows some real freaking poor A.I. Jeez....Halo and poor A.I. is something you just never say in one sentence, but this truly is bad. That's why i refuse to believe they will act this way in the final game. Talking about a huge downgrade in A.I.
Stinkles earlier this week did say we should wait for the upcoming previews and read em, well...it sure hasn't made me more confident about that aspect actually.

I was talking about the enemy A.I. man, not the team A.I.
The enemy's aim looks rather bad here and they act like they just want to be shot. Now of course this is normal, but still.

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but if you notice in comparison to Osiris, Blue Team literally doesn't stray very far from one another at all in their chosen paths on their way to their mission destination.
Blue Team was totally in sync and every move in a specific direction was matched flawlessly by each and every member of Blue Team. It's further driven home with the way they all drew their weapons in synchronous and fired to weaken the glass. All this done without a single word uttered between the four of them.

Has AI ever changed depending on difficulty in Halo? I feel like it hasn't.
For Arena, yes. Warzone is Monday.

Kelly and Fred's names would have been replaced by service tags if they were controlled by players.
It hasn't, but even if they were to change that, making friendly AI more assertive on higher difficulty levels would be rather counterintuitive.
Yessss

Heh, I am just wary. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong... at least with me. As soon as the game goes Gold and the preload goes live then they've got my money

Those are two totally different situations. In BB's case most of the characters are already going by code names and in 5 he's their leader.
Master Chief is just a rank, not a code name. It wouldn't make sense for them to call him that when the rest go by actual names.
I think by now chief is his nick name

I really have to say after watching more of the footage that this is easily one of the most beautiful looking first person shooters I've ever seen. It's just so damn good artistically, and the fact that it runs so buttery smooth makes it all the more impressive.
The game's strong visually in so many areas that likely won't be properly appreciated, but it gives even games that run at half the framerate a serious run for their money. The texture or materials quality for one is a lot better than you would expect for a 60fps shooter, the amount of action and freedom of movement in the levels is beautiful to see, and you constantly see these nice little touches whose general high quality can't help but surprise with the game's strict performance goals in mind. The effects they have going on for the forerunner enemies are damn amazing, as are a number of other things I saw.
343i have done an incredible job here, and people can sleep on this all they want, but in my view this game doesn't take a backseat to a single first person shooter shown so far this gen.
