Or custom games browser. If any of these appear, Halo 5 will immediately become my GOAT until Halo 6 comes out.

Aww man my stuck emblem is gone. I do like a lot of the new emblems though.
Yin Yang pls
All those Complaining about missing emblems do know they have that they will have over 1000 different emblems. Loads more then where in these builds Also do people think they have shown every weapon and option going to be available at launch?
If there's a custom games browser in any future Halo game then I'd be done. I'd never buy another multiplayer game. Nothing could ever compare to a Custom Games Browser in a Halo game.
It probably is some ONI propaganda BS. ONI hasn't been a fan of MC for a long time.
Because it's not true and a cover up.

Warzone will matchmake you with people who have similarly unlocked REQ cards, so your team and the enemy team should both have OP cards. It's just who will burn them first. I also doubt those Legendary cards will be frequent, so it'll cause you to be cautious of when to use them.
I'm hoping that that is not the main criteria. C'mon 343, is it not time to start talking about how matchmaking is going to be handled!? I.E server selection...

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
It's internal policy to never confirm a Spartan as KIA, only MIA to give the illusion that Spartans never die; however, since ONI likely wants the Chief gone (he's not an ONI puppet), they'll gladly confirm his death to push whatever narrative they want.

Will the Brute Chopper ever return? =(
I remember watching another video which has a Ghost shooting explosive ammunition, but can't find it now.
I haven't been this hyped for a halo game since 2 (I enjoyed 2 much more than 3 in every way). I loved the beta, and all the information so far only makes it look like it will be one of the best entries in the series.
Need to get around to actually finishing all the MCC campaigns over the next month...

I doubt they will in campaign since the Brutes are effectively gone, but I could see the Brute Chopper being in REQ packs -- if not initially, then added in later.
It's not that. It's that we can't edit our own emblems. Can they give me the same shield, two swords with the colors I've had for the past decade plus? What does having more emblems mean if they're not what we want? This is a literal step forward, two steps back if we can't edit or pick and choose our emblem, colors. There's really no reason to cut something so miniscule and yet meaningful for a lot of people.
I remember in the Halo 2 Doc, Bungie had shown several different concepts for the Mongoose, along with a design that has built-in SMG-like guns. What goes around, I guess.
That's literally where the gungoose in H2A's multiplayer component came from.

I think it's just there for REQ padding. Opening a pack to only get an emblem you don't care about will compel many to try again, perhaps with real money. Also, the new system fuels the bragging system of owning an emblem someone else doesn't. For something so miniscule in the past, it's a relatively safe business move to take advantage of now.
Me too; on legendary. Especially since that Helioskrill helmet looks like one of the few cool new helmets/armor.

I thought the comics featured the Brutes quite a bit?
Besides, if the 'Covenant' can be back, so can Brutes.
THIS! I miss this vehicle so much. Getting a vehicular manslaughter in Halo 3 with it is still one of my personal greatest achievements in any Halo online game.
Theatre NEEDS to be their. I'd say they nailed this game if they get this in (split screen doesn't bother me)

I just noticed that with all the new Arena footage I haven't seen the Prophets Bane anywhere. Are the "Legendary" weapon variants a Warzone only thing now or something?
The prophets bane isn't on Truth anymore?
My understanding is that Legendary weapons could show up in Arena as power weapons...

The only legendary weapon we know that is in arena is Prophet's Bane on Truth, there is a possibility the design was scrapped in favor of normal power weapons.
After The Great Schism (aka Halo 2 and Halo 3) the Brutes are effectively shut out of Covenant tech, they might as well fall back to their barbarian roots raging civil wars.
We can also bet on cheevos for finding all skulls and the typical campaign related ones.
We haven't seen any new Truth videos, and I believe most of the maps shown are half-baked. The Rig is clearly not at the final stage IMO, an legendary weapons could appear in final build.
Not final stage, but pretty close. Less then a month to go.

I always thought it was odd that Bungie ditched such a fun vehicle after one game, then 343 didn't bring it back either. There's nothing remotely like it in Halo's sandbox now.
In the preview it was said that the build is months old.
If 343i can nail the gameplay design in this game, I think they should focus more on getting more features/customization options in the later titles.
Improvements in Forge are nice, but I'd love to see more custom game options, IMPROVED THEATRE etc etc. That's partly why Halo 3 was so amazing; it expanded the toolset and community interaction massively. (Another similarity to Halo 2; this game adds new game play features that alter the formula, while still staying true to it for the most part. Similar to the addition of dual wielding and vehicle hijacking. )

Totally agree. Communnity is even more important now than Halo 3 days. We really need better tools to share all the cool things happening in game. It will be a shame if campaign theater and a more intuitive sharing mechnism is still not presented when so much freedom is given to try different tactics in SP.

It's crazy how massive this game is. What other game launches with this much content? You may get a forge mode and a 6 hour campaign, or 7 multiplayer maps and a zombie mode, but Halo 5 sounds packed with content.
Man, I can't stop thinking about Warzone... I went from "sound like a neat distraction" to " I need it now". The possibilities are endless... Anytime the MP community needs a shot in the arm, 343i could introduce some new weapon and vehicle variants to keep things interesting.
Just reading this forum got me thinking of Reqs I'd like to see in the future... and the game hasn't even come out yet.
I'd definitely be in favor of support options... Maybe some guns that regenerate teammates shields, puts a barriers. or a way to repair vehicles .
The vehicle and weapon options are freaking endless... I was just happy to see the CE pistol and a BR with a proper scope... And they went and made a mongoose with freaking grenade launchers. What will they think of next?

My bad... Kicking myself
The fact that it isn't in the menu isn't a good sign, either.
That is because you wont forge from the console anymore.

You know what, I can wait for forge info. I'd rather get info on what Forge mode is like in the final build and not a months old build because anything in that could've changed from when 343 would've talked about it to launch.
