In some of the descriptions for armor and weapons in the warzone footage it says didact "went missing" so he may not be dead. I will throw my Xbox down an elevator shaft if he's back.

Spoiler

Wait, they killed him off in a book? lol

I should have worded that a little differently

Spoiler

he got composed presumably in issue 10 of Escalation. You can Google that and you'll easily be able to find what I'm talking about.

I sincerely doubt they will kill him, especially in Halo 5. I don't believe that 343i would go out and advertise a significant plot twist like that and then have it actually happen.

The rest of Blue team is definitely on the chopping block though.

Simply because the game is playable entirely on 4 player coop, I can't see them killing anyone from Blue Team or Fireteam Osiris. It would be a really strange thing to try and shift the character someone has been playing as to someone entirely new to maintain the 4 person groups.

now he gets to be with his waifu in the after life

...

AI's go to heaven right?

Do people live on, digitally, after being composed? Maybe they're reunited in digital heaven.

I'm glad they're moving on from Chief and his weird AI fetish. I'm here to play Halo not watch this introvert reenact scenes out of Her. Good Riddance. Long live Spartan Locke.

Completely fair point, save for the last mission which all bets are off I suppose. But I agree. It'd be silly to establish this whole two team mechanic and then drop it for Halo 6.

Spoiler

Unless all of Blue Team dies that is.

 

[VincentMatts]

That pic isnt a good example, those books would prove you wrong.

Oh for sure. Fred is beyond dead.

 

[Glass]

Oh for sure. Fred is beyond dead.

I wonder if they do kill off some members from each team, they end up joining the surviving members at the end into a new team.

Any team member of Blue Team dying would be fuckin stupid.

Just because it rhymes doesn't make it authentic or a good idea. Look at Drake, for example.

This footage realllly sold me on Warzone, damn it looks fun.

 

[Dynasty8]

Warzone is looking insane. Love it.

 

[Kalentan]

I really hope Chief doesn't die... Like please don't kill him yet. Get him to the end of this 'saga' and then retire him.

 

[Fata1moose]

That Steve Downes tweet made me scared.

Gears of War did it though.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Okay but really, if Chief dies and doesn't come back in Halo 6 or something, I will eat my left shoe.

Someone mark me down for this and hold me to it.

 

[IHaveIce]

MC dead= end of Halo for me!

Same here. At least no mainline games then. I won't buy shit with Locke being the only protagonist. he can die in a hell together with Palmer

 

[VincentMatts]

I really hope Chief doesn't die... Like please don't kill him yet. Get him to the end of this 'saga' and then retire him.

Its incredibly hard to replace an iconic figure and getting the same level of success as before. I cant think of one that did better than the original or even as good. There have been a bunch of Batman's i think, but i can only remember Bruce Wayne.

If they kill him, i fully expect them to bring him back somehow. Id be stunned if he actually died and stayed dead.

https://twitter.com/SteveDownes117/status/648543135715299328

I think or hope, not sure which, that he'll just have meant for recording Halo 5, and is maybe deliberately trying to get people to wonder if MC will die.

I'm actually also wondering if Halo 5 won't involve Locke reporting that he killed Cheif, while really letting him go as a free agent. \


I doubt he would spoil the end if that was really it.

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

NOOO that's not gonna happen FUCK NO

They've survived so much shit just to be killed off

I don't wanna relive another halo 3

 

[PetulantChild]

The only way they could replace chief and have it not be disappointing is if you played as Arby from now on.

 

[Fata1moose]

You haven't even played one game with Locke, you've seen a couple cut scenes and Nightfall, play the game before you make broad statements like this.

I told you guys from the begining.

Chief will die and this game will set up Locke to to be the protagonist in Halo 6.

You all do realize Steve is likely done with his Halo 5 work and is talking about that, right.

 

[LordOfChaos]

I think MC being dead will be as valid as this was

 

[VincentMatts]

I think its perfectly worded so that you cant really know for sure.

 

[Snkfanatic]

I am really interested in the game now that I have a Xbox 1 but the AI for some reason really sticks out to me. Although it seems like it's about on par with Destiny and I am enjoying that so far.

 

[Frog-fu]

You all do realize Steve is likely done with his Halo 5 work and is talking about that, right.

And he couldn't clarify that with a follow up tweet? If he's doing this to fuck with us, he diabolical.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

I honestly don't know what I am going to play first. I am not sure on Campaign as it will be 12am EST and I don't want to be tired going through this Campaign (in the past at Midnight launches I would play about 2 hours of Campaign and about 2 hours of Multiplayer). If I decide on Multiplayer, do I choose to start with Arena or Warzone... I am so confused!

 

[daedalius]

These reactions are great

Exactly what they are looking for, lol

Frankie, did you get your Halo tattoo a la Peter Moore yet?

I will probably play through the first 2 missions and then go to bed. Always tempted to dive into Halo MP but every time I finish the campaign first.

and more importantly does it say 60 FPS?
