Wouldn't kill off Chief. I'm guessing with the live action trailers that released before, the real story will probably be that Chief and Locke eventually meet, fight, and Chief defeats him but tells him why he's doing what he's doing and still has work to do. Locke then covers for him and instead, tells ONI and makes it official story is that he tracked Chief down and killed him.
Or maybe Locke defeats a broken Chief but instead if killing him, just leaves him for dead. They wouldn't say we've made it from a reclaimer trilogy to a saga, only to kill the main guy off in the second game. Expect Chief for at least two more games.

going out with a bang wouldn't be a bad death after all
Yeah, after all the shit Master Chief had gone through, getting buried under rubble is probably the most humiliating defeat a cybernetically enhanced super soldier can receive.
Fuck I'm actually concerned about this. Downes casually leaked Halo 2 Anniversary in an interview so he's not exactly one to withhold information.
Frankie I swear to God if you kill off Chief I will
angrily rant about it on GAF then go back to playing Warzone

Nice interview with Tim Lingo. http://www.gamereactor.eu/articles/352383/343+Industries+opens+up+on+Halo+5+Guardians/
This stood out to me
That would have been mindblowing. Maybe for 6?

That's the original Bungie composer right?
That would be epic if so.
Although I'm really liking the music in Halo 5 right now. Also we now get audio options lol

nah he's just taking a nap and turned off his visor for a good night, all that rubble must keep his armor nice and warm

After getting his bones reinforced with unbreakable carbon polymers and plaster transfixings, Chief sets out on his greatest mission yet: finding his surrogate father who supplied the materials.
Spoilers: Chief's dad is a building and gets destroyed by the Guardian, only to die in Chief's arms.

That's the other thing...I never thought his visor was backlit...Was it? I thought it was just orange reflective glass or whatever composite substance. Not a light that can go out.
I guess that was just artistic liberty to show he's dead though.
Correct.

I'm starting with Warzone personally. If the network is jacked up I'll play some campaign. Once I'm confident with the controls (elite controller), I think I'll jump into arena. May be a few days until I sit down and try to get through the whole campaign unless online is a shitshow.
And unless the magical light inside of his visor goes out. In that case, he's really dead.
See, because of the Elite controller, I'm going into campaign first so I can get used to it without feeling like I'm a scrub. I'll probably jump into Warzone for a little to get a ton of REQ points so I can start unlocking armor after 2-3 missions.

You know what. I'm one of the biggest Marty O'Donnell fans there is. I love his work, including what he's done for Destiny. He's probably one of the, if not best in the industry, but I've been liking what Jinnouchi has been doing. Much better than Halo 4 so far. I wouldn't mind Marty coming back, but it's not as big an issue anymore. As it is, he was finished with the original Halo music, which is why Reach was so different.
I also think it would have come up for every developer no? Imagine the difference a Marty score could have on a game like Battlefront, on Black Ops 3, Bungie will use his score and music for the next few games. He founded Highwire though, I wonder if he wouldn't mind collaborating with Jinnouchi for some stuff for Halo 6.

A fine choice, I'm just too much of a Halo multiplayer addict. Campaign still looks phenomenal but Warzone and arena are calling to me. I don't mind if I do shitty the first few games in Wzone; no ranking and I'll be earning REQ points. I've switched my controls so much for fps' in general lately that I don't think it'll take very long for me to relearn stuff...although I've never used a controller with paddles, so we'll see how that turns out.
Yea trying to settle on a setup for 5 with the potential of the 4 paddles, all selectable, on the back and then the different sticks, stick adjustments in software, and either full or hair trigger settings is going to take me a little while to dial in my ideal configuration. I'll probably play with whatever Halo 5 specific profiles they ship with as I would guess the pro team guys have been working with this for a little while now.

Keep in mind chief is now the very center piece of the whole forerunner vs human conflict, he 100% won't go anywhere until at least that story arc comes to a close.

Hm
You know, I remember replaying Halo CE and 2 on PC, even with modest hardware you could max out those old titles and I was running at a solid 60fps. Even with a locked 60 I remember noticing animations (say, the grunts dance-walk) still looked like they were running at a much lower frequency than the frame was outputting at (probably the consoles original 30).

I'm gonna probably go bumper jumper with left trigger assigned to smart scope, one of the paddles assigned to grenade, one assigned to thrust. Haven't decided what I'll do for duck and switch weapons; if I like the paddles maybe I'll throw both of those on as well. Basically I want to be able to do as much as possible without taking my thumbs off the analogs in order to maintain maximum control. And I'm definitely going hair triggers.

Nice bullet points dude, I watched each and only those, haha! I hope the final game has more to share but if not, I'm sure more will be added over the months. Some of those variants are very cool, especially "The Answer" (explosive saw)!
The animations of Halo CE on PC were capped at 30fps.

Fuck, I won't be able to use the emblem I've been using since Halo 2. That sucks.

I want to read this thread but I'm afraid of story spoilers. Do I have reason to be scared? Or are the spoilers very light?
The emblems are pre-sets now and all you can do it change their colors. There's a triforce emblem but you can't make it look like the one I've always used since.

Yeah that kinda sucks but honestly, emblems are the least of my worries. They were fun when they appeared online like in Halo2. They became kinda pointless when that was removed from the series.

Join the club. My Halo 2 logo was only in 2. So I picked a new one for 3 and Reach. Then even the logos I used in those games were removed so I refused to move off of the default dog tags, still changed the colour though. Halo 5 has tonnes of emblems and I will be happy to try them in all their colours too.
Some pretty heavy Drake spoilers. Some GIFs of new AI routines and stuff I personally wish I didn't see. I would pass if I had the willpower. Story spoiler-wise there were links and footage of Blue Team's introduction. No real plot details though.

Do we know if the classic game-types are coming back and if custom games are as customizable as before? Like Assault, juggernaut, neutral flag, etc..

Ready Up Live had a video showing the different REQ packs you get. Bronze, Silver and Gold and how you get particular cards that increase the frequency of gaining a particular weapon.

Not sure if that is what you're looking for.

I saw that already. More of what you need to do to get armour and stuff. The weapon reqs are pretty self explanatory. But armour/helmets and other cosmetics are still a mystery.
They come in REQ packs. The above video shows you get visors and armour parts mixed in with Warzone items.
God damnit why did I click that.

Thanks.
OK I must have missed that part. I'll check again. I hope it ain't going to be RNG for everything.
You can request a vehicle really easily.
With the running to fights thing, I thought the same when the first Warzone map was shown, but as people get used to the mode/map, I think the 24 players are going to be bumping into one another a lot more.
If you control more then one base, you can choose to spawn at any one of them, which I'm sure some won't pick up on that right away. Then as you get used to the maps you'll probably learn to navigate them better (there are grav cannons on top of buildings, mongooses placed near captured points by the looks of it etc, and thats without even mentioning vehicles you can spawn in or others you can hop on).
It looks like there's a bunch of ways to minimise your downtime, but it's just a case of people learning them.
