Anyone from the UK have any idea how to subscribe to Gameinformer?

I'm just told constantly by PayPal that Gameinformer don't accept non-US accounts and Gamestop just gives me an error.

Their website says non-US people can sign up and subscribe but that doesn't seem to be the case.

You mean the physical or digital versions?

Just because Nathan Fillion is there, I am now seriously contemplating purchasing an xbone sometime next year.

Buck. Blue team. My favorite part is the MASSIVE Forerunner ship in the sky. I want more stuff like that. I thought 343 did well with the new Forerunner stuff they designed in Halo 4. I want more of that. Sandbox expansion. Love it!

Umm, heavy major spoilers for the new Halo book so read at your own risk.

With this, Jun returning, and the Didact thing I feel completely lost with the lore going into Halo 5. This is coming from somebody who knew like everything in Cryptum by heart going into Halo 4.

It would be awesome if you could unlock voices of Blue team and Osiris for the callouts in the arena multiplayer, akin to Reach and Firefight.

Listening to HTT will probably be sufficient for now. Then just read a summary of Escalation.

It'll be interesting to see if 343i learn from their biggest mistake in Halo 4's campaign; the failure to explain the background lore properly in the game. The integration with the EU was good, but the premise left all but the most die hard fans confused.

I fear the level of detail on human faces will be vastly different between cutscenes and gameplay again.

Weird. I've brought GI before on my iPad with no problem.

I was using the card attached to my apple account though. Don't see why Paypal would have a problem.

Trying to do it through their website, not on a mobile device.

Having none of it :/

Personally I would love to see them take the OS Voice options from Titanfall and make that your Spartan OS Voice.

The disaster that was MCC and the inability to fix it convinced me that its like one dude in a closet working on MCC while the rest is onto halo 5.

Makes me hype for halo 5, really hope 343 does something special.

I have and i think it's great actually but that dosen't take away the fact that i think Halo 4 was super bad and not Halo at all, not in gameplay or story and nothing 343 has done or said so far has been different.

I'm afraid the plot will involve a lot of senseless drama, and give little exposition to all these new characters.

Blue team versus an outside threat would have been a much easier plot to get right.

That's Nathan Fillion as Buck from ODST.

Hopefully nothing resembling the dialog in that game will return.

Seeeeeriously. I'm amazed that anyone is excited about Buck returning given how awful ODST made him seem.

Please make skydiving game play, not a cutscene. Imagine landing were you want then kicking arse. Oh yes. Hope BTB is like that as well.

That'd be so awesome.

It's the shader quality that takes the hit due to overhead allotted for performance during gameplay that don't exist during cutscene. It was still a vast improvement over what Bungie did with previous iterations (Reach was better compared to 3 and ODST).

I think the model will look great even during gameplay in H5 with the new hardware.

I want something like that Battlefield map where one team just bombs off the edge of the map to attack the enemy.

I have a feeling BTB will be huge, finally going beyond 8v8, so who knows. Big maps allow for crazy shit like that.

Honestly with such a big cast and interesting sounding plot I hope this game is good length.

Please deliver a long campaign 343

I have always found it odd that BTB is not really that big. Would love to see them go all out and have a great mix of Arena style maps and modes and then some huge-ass BF style maps.

Advanced Invasion from Reach would be damn awesome.

Yikes, Mike Colter looks fake as fuck, looks like a rubber doll. It's especially off putting since Nathan Fillion's face looks great.
Click to expand...

Whaa? No way, he looks great. I think it's just his skin tone / makeup / whatever they happened to cover him in during Nightfall, because when him and his squad were starting to venture deeper into Alpha Shard, the light was reflecting off of him in a really similar way. Maybe the dude just exudes glossiness. It's, like, an ONI augmentation to detract predators or something.

He can deflect hardlight projectiles with his forehead.

Hitting all the right notes.

I never know how to read in-engine anymore, but I have optimism for a great looking game.

Co-op, playing two sides of the story, arena. Sounds like all good stuff and looking forward a unique MP experience. If they keep some straight-forward arena in tact I think they can experiment elsewhere. I want lots of options.

I have a hard time believing Cortana stays dead.
