Halo 5 (the physical boxed version at least) comes with a 2 week XBL free trial just like Halo 4 did. Halo 5 will not have co-op matchmaking, at least not at launch. Apparently it wasn't a popular playlist in Reach and they didn't want matchmaking to sour the players' campaign experience by getting matched with randoms who might cause you grief.

What kind of trailer are we talking? Hopefully something campaign related.

All I know is it is the launch trailer.
You could also invite some strangers, but there is no campaign matchmaking, if that's what you mean. It's the same situation as the previous Halo games (except Reach). Just think of it as Campaign Custom Games.

My plan to make it go by faster is to make a schedule of all the cool stuff happening between now and Halo 5's release, so I'm always waiting just a few days for something instead of wallowing in a month-long anticipation for Halo 5. For example:
September 27: Halo 5 Launch Trailer
September 28: Warzone Embargo Lifts
October 1: New character added to League of Legends
October 8: Star Wars Battlefront Open Beta
October 9: Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection
October ??: Halo 5 Forge reveal
October 23: Assassin's Creed Syndicate
and finally...
October 27: Halo 5 Guardians.
Rumour is between 9pm and 11pm EST, which means in 7 to 9 hours.
Cool, stand aside enemies, this man needs medical attention. Carry on. He's down, he's up, thanks kelly, he's down. She's down. Hunter hits a home run, Fredric can really fly.
Hope the trailer tonight is Halo 3 tier. Best ever. ETA?
Of course they make short work of those guys... That's pretty much the case in the games, even on legendary...
In the novels, we see the Spartans struggle 1on1 against brutes and elites... Also, they frequently need to think outside the box to overcome overwhelming odds. And that's what it's like playing solo on legendary.
You've even seen MC struggle 1-on-1 against elites and brutes...

Good luck. You'll get the Helioskrill armor in Halo 5 for your efforts if you do beat all 4 campaigns on Legendary.

Ah yis I have convinced my brother in law to pick up a X1 which affectively rounds out my 4 player set-up. That campaign footage pushed him over the edge. Can't wait
Nice, I'm super jealous of all those who can go into this with 4 player co-op. It doesn't matter how good the campaign will be, 4 player co-op with friends is guaranteed a good time.

Oh for real? That's so cool, I love cross-game stuff like that.
Incidentally, I really hope they get around to bringing Reach over to the Xbox One at some point. I was originally going to start my series re-play off with that, but I can't go back to 30fps Halo. MCC has spoilt me.
I'm glad i'm not the only one who noticed how gloriously chaotic that was.

There's supposed to be a new trailer today right? What time?
Sometime during Sunday Night Football. The game kicks off around 8:30 ET.
Source? No I actually want to beat it.
It was unlockable back in the beta if you got through all 4 on Legendary. There was a handful of armor and helmets that carried over from watching Nightfall and jst playing certain things on MCC.

Sorry if these are giant, I'm on mobile and can't tell. I'll quote them if they're huge.

yeah you don't have to worry about that pal
There is plenty of space between their respective releases to get down and familiar with Halo 5 and then get Battlefront. Get both. I'm definitely getting both at launch.
I'd love to get both but it's a concern of both time and money. Fallout 4 and the Bloodborne expansion are already guaranteed purchases for me in addition to MGSV that I already bought. Though the former will probably be a Christmas gift.
Odds are at this point, I'll wait a week then get Halo 5. Battlefront will probably be better to buy for Christmas when the DLC is out and more importantly, the inevitable technical problems are patched.
But one of the biggest things I've been trying to do this year is buy less games and get more time out of them. Halo 3 and Reach are my two most played games of all time along with SSB: Melee so Halo's always been a safe bet for value. Again, probably best to wait for impressions with every game now.

What's cool about this game being built around 4 player co-op is that it shouldn't feel like each player is stepping on the other's toes, which is a feeling I can't seem to avoid in many co-op titles. The problem is even though they may have co-op play, they really feel like they're still built for just a single person, so having another player in the world messing around ends up feeling more than a little bit awkward. Based on what I've seen so far, there's plenty of action to be had, and for each player to feel like they're making a real contribution all over the various campaign locations.
Brutal!
Also possible mine was a mistake - I quoted a movie. But not wise to question the banhammer as may be evident here.
Well welcome back! Pretty excited for what you guys have in store for us tonight.
Oh sweet, the two mark VI ones are easy to unlock. I thought all of them would be for completing something on legendary.

Did they remove the dialogue indicating when your teammate got a power weapon? Im not hearing it. I do think it's useful to know whether we got it or they got it.
It's an option now. You can shutoff teammate chatter if you don't like it or you're playing in a party with headsets.

Finally got to watch the video in the link I posted earlier, it really looks like a snippet of the trailer they're about to reveal and its live action. Hype

Ive found references to turning off chatter altogether, but that's not exactly what I'm talking about. In the videos I watch, the spartans are still talkative, they just dont call out something like "Got the sniper" anymore. Are you saying there is a sort of 'medium' option?
Do you have the answers, stinkles?

IIRC, there's "no chatter," "essentials only," and "all chatter" options. Could be that they just took out the power weapon callouts.

I really, really want to play Halo 5 and jump back into an XBOX (I really do, being a big Halo fan and spending most of my early years playing the series and heavily invested into the lore/story) but I keep thinking there will be an XBOX one slim in the following year and I will kick myself for it for the size.
Tell me peeps, is the size fine and worth getting it now? This, Tomb Raider, Forza 6 and Quantum Break the main games I want to get on the One side, and of course future titles.
Halo bundle edition is yelling at me!

I'd say as long as you have an appetite for the upcoming exclusive games, then there's no reason not to. Between this, RotTR, Crackdown, and Scalebound, I've got plenty to look forward to personally.
