- Start date
I just turned it off. Watched the cutscene after the first mission and that's enough for me.

You can glance all of that sweet sweet achievement art, when you go to the Halo 5 gamehub on the X1.
SPOILERS maybe,IDK.

It's what - the first three missions? What % of the campaign is that? Did the first level seem to take a significant amount of time like ol' Halo 2/3 levels?
Not sure. I turned it on 30 seconds before the cutscene started. Frankie?
Very cool.
Kinda Halo with a Doom twist.

From what I saw, Mission 2 is fairly hefty. There's a lot do to and see.

There's 15 missions, so that's 20% of the campaign, also it's more like 2.5 as they aren't allowed to go past a certain point in the third mission.

First level was quite short. Second and third level were quite long.

All single player campaigns are SO MUCH more enjoyable when you don't watch any gameplay or cutscenes beforehand. I know I'm stating the obvious here, but I feel like many games nowadays just reveal too much plot, characters, and important scenes prior to a game's release that it just simply ruins the surprise value.
I think part of the reason why MGSV was such a letdown for me was due to the unnecessarily lengthy trailers that consisted of 90% of the game's story. So many of the surprises, spoilers, important characters and story sections were just thrown in to make the trailer look cool and interesting. What were they thinking? They were openly spoiling shit for the fans...I'll never understand some devs. Part of the problem is also how huge of an impact the Internet has in the gaming industry today compared to the 90's where as we would have to rely on magazines for info...but some devs just need to learn to conceal their games better.
I guess I just miss the good old days where we would play through a game without seeing scenes we've already seen through multiple trailers.
Anyway, enough venting. Won't make that same mistake again for future games in which story is a big deal for me (Halo 5). So far so good...I haven't even watched the Launch Trailer so I'm doing well so far.

Man... This post itself is spoilerish. Time to bail from the thread.

Exact same here....wanted to watch SO bad.
oh come on. all i said is one cutscene, which has previously been shown and discussed (several times in fact), is longer.
if you were confused and thought it was truly something new having to do with cortana, then no, its not. so no (meaningful) spoilers.

I couldn't help myself. Had to watch that cutscene. I remember it was blink and you miss it teased in one of the trailers so not too bothered.
Definitely liking the options in the level design, should be good fun and keep things fresh next time.
I see punching buttons is the new thing instead of pressing them..
Going to stop watching now.....maybe. Just 1 minute more, okay 2 mins.

My only problem I have watching this initially is that it seems to easy with your squad healing you every time you go down. Takes the fear out of playing too much rushing in gung ho a bit.

Man, the Giantbomb Youtube stream comments are the WORST.
Haha, that's great
Still not watching these streams :/
I like it, too, though usually I prefer my replicas to appear somewhere BEFORE they become merchandise. Presented in this order, it almost looks like product placement.

What did I miss? Campaign streams? .... Nope! Definitely not watching those.

And why would I want them?
Noticing a lot of stuttering and framerate issues during cutscenes. I'm hoping it's just these streams though.
