Holy shit, intense!!!
Does anyone else think the white colour on the Spartans looks awful?
Is there a reason for it compared to other games?

Can't wait for the game to launch and to have the community thread back. For any mods reading, this is what HaloGAF meant to the Halo community back in the day and why many of us joined.

Needs a Brock Lesnar theme dub imo.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_hkncPaCTk
The competition for most badass assassination is going to be tough with this one confirmed to be in the game.
Team 1 & 3 are why HaloGAF was paraded around the GAF streets with its head on a pike, IMO.
nerf banshees
im still bitter about that
I was still in HS when we played the DREAM TEAM, heh. Also, Cerrius picked the stupidest shit for those Humpday games.
I believe that all you can buy with real money are the packs themselves, which have the same random loot as the ones you get with in-game currency. There might be a couple exclusive things though (the Halo controllers each come with a unique visor, there's an emblem you can get from watching a video on Halo Channel, certain things unlock from MCC achievements, etc).All the purchasable REQ stuff is also grindable, correct?
On the whole seeing the community decline from 2009 to 2015 was depressing, and MCC's aftermath was painful. I'm still nostalgic about posting on bnet, which is where I came from before joining GAF.
Halo 5 will improve things, but it'll never be the glory days again.

That's $240, just so you know.
I think the Master Chief, due to a much more serious impending threat, is possibly activating these 'guardian' devices because they will be desperately needed in order to protect humanity against whatever is coming next. These things may not all necessarily be threats to humanity, but due to the sheer scale of destruction caused upon their awakening, it makes sense how people would view anyone that is potentially activating such things -- whether intentionally or unintentionally -- as a threat that needs to be stopped at all costs.
I didn't know very many Halo fans post Halo 3... in fact I've met more of them in the last year than the previous 8 years combined. I'm talking about the major community hubs across the net. Most are a shadow of what they once were...hell I don't think I've seen a single Halo 5 post on the default frontpage of reddit since its announcement.The glory days can't return because the people you played with are in different chapters of their life. Halo 5 will probably be amazing, but most of the people I played with then back then have moved on to other games, or don't game at all really. I'll just enjoy it for what it is now, nothing will ever recapture the feeling of being 18 and having no responsibility other than to poop on kids in Halo, lol.

Urgh. I remember that third match. It was awful. Sniper Rifle was way too powerful compared to the Focus Rifle. Especially since it exposes the position of the user which is a dead sentence. My biggest mark of shame.http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=29239

I agree. They haven't shown the villain yet, but I assume the didact is building an army or something for humanity's extinction.
Halo Escalation spoilers:
Blue Team fought the Didact and he got composed by like 20 Composers. His current state is unclear, because we don't know what happens to a Forerunner if he gets composed.
So, it's pretty unclear who the main villain will be. It looked like it would be the Warden Eternal, whoever that actually is.

Can't decide between going for a fleshed out H5OT or the opposite, a minimal OT.
I'd happily keep the first post updated over time, but I dunno if it's worth it for the dozen folks that will ever look at it past the release date.
Hoping the Forge reveal is the last major reveal for the game.
Oh, I haven't even pre-ordered yet. Hmmm.
I'd say keep it simple and only put information in there that people actually need to inform themselves about the game to a certain level.Can't decide between going for a fleshed out H5OT or the opposite, a minimal OT.

I'm not really sure if they do could him right after 4, especially since he seemingly died if you didn't read the EU stuff. Also if he does come back I hope they give him a re-design because he honestly looked like a power ranger villain.I really hope the Didact does turn up again in Halo 5.
'You need to have read the books to understand what's going on' is a common complaint levelled at Halo 4, but I thought the Didact's appearance was a bit shit even having read them. The game really wasted him, I read an entire trilogy of novels about the guy and all he does is turn up in two cutscenes then dies in a QTE.
The Didact is a really cool character who deserves much better than his Halo 4 appearance. If he really is dead then that sucks.
Yep.I'd say keep it simple and only put information in there that people actually need to inform themselves about the game to a certain level.
With Warden Eternal being a Warzone boss, I would have to imagine it's not him.
I'm aware of that storyline, but i think he'll be back. 343 would've killed him off in 4 if they didn't have plans on him returning. They aren't going to kill him off in something that a big portion of the fan base won't read.
Yep.
Well, you say that, but then I look at the things happening in Halo Escalation and wonder if they are ever going to explain it the actual game. Even small things like Blue Team's reunion or big things like where Dr. Halsey actually is and why.
It's going to be interesting how 343i will handle this stuff. I hope they nail it.

BGE: Is there any concern for fans new to the series to be overwhelmed with Halo lore? Im happy to see Blue Team, but new players may wonder who they are, and why they should care how do 343 alleviate that issue to ease players new to the series in gently?
Josh: One of the great strengths for Halo is the depth of our universe and lore. We want fans of the lore to feel rewarded for their knowledge, but it cant be a requisite for understanding and enjoying the games. The campaign for Halo 5 has been designed to be enjoyable as a self-contained story. We have additional details from the extended universe available to players who wish to explore and consume all of the supporting narrative, but those shouldnt be necessary to understand the central storyline for the game. At the same time, there can be an assumption made that just because a character or place has been explored in the novels or comics, all of that extended story needs to be surfaced in the game in order to make sense. Thats not necessarily the case. There is an economy to storytelling and we strive to provide the necessary amount of information without weighing things down. Comparing this game to Halo 4, I think weve done a better job in this regard but ultimately that will be up to players to decide.
That doesn't have to mean anything.
Don't read past this, if you care for huge spoilers:
There was a huge spoiler in the The Sprint Season 3, where the script got leaked and the Warden Eternal got killed by Locke, while Chief is lying on the ground being seemingly dead.

Who are you and what have you done to TheOddOne?'s avatar
Makes me so mad when they carefully blur out everything else and make a rookie mistake like that. Nitwits.

Anyway, I expected a link to a Halo 3 thread. Not to a special opportunity playing against the developers which every fan wants to do at some point
