Cortana appears in Ghost like visions?
So it's similar to Halo 3 then?
I hope this means Chief isn't going crazy and that she has some small remnants in his Brain or Suit or something.

Keeping the community together is vital. Splitting via DLC was always going to cause problems, so I am glad they have looked into this. MS must know its also the best thing to do.
They need to regroup and expand the Halo community and hopefully Halo 5 does that.
All games should have free map DLC. It fucking ruins games. Just sell cosmetic items or something.

That dude looks EXACTLY like Nathan Fillion. Wasn't he in odst? Is this the same character?
Sorry Halo lore nerds I'm ignorant.

Whoa, Buck is back. Didn't see that coming at all.
I hope that means we might get an ODST 2 at some point....

Screens look better than Halo 4 to me. Not a Massive jump but Halo 4 was some black magic to begin with. Should look good in motion when we see some campaign gameplay next week.

Olympia Vale is introduced (from what I remember) in the upcoming "Hunters in the Dark" book that comes out next week.

This is how I felt about Halo 4, and what I fear I will feel in 5, too. just 343 going "please care about these characters and issues" alot.
Holy crap. Ok maybe not that much.

Which would be absolutely fine. If it's cool enough people will still buy it, and it gives nobody an advantage and doesn't split up the community.

I just don't want it to look too corny... I like it when Halo doesn't take itself too seriously, but shit like grunt birthday party in Reach MP is annoying.

I feel like I'll be disappointed, as I now have Republic Commando comparisons starting up in my head about controlling Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris.

Free DLC is awesome, but the screenshots make the game look graphically poor, it just looks like Halo 4 to me :/
The lighting is also very unpleasing to the eye and the color desaturation is pretty bad.

sad part of beginning of cover story, was likely a republic commando sequel in the works at lucasarts before Disney bought them.

Buck and Blue Team, fuck yeah.
I hope they forget to bring Dutch back though.

The Beta was beautiful and that was months ago at 720p. It'll look way better in motion. Scans never do it justice.

I thought the beta looked pretty bad and this looks pretty much the same.

Good point. That "yaaaaay!" still haunts my dreams. Bungie should have known what that would turn into, hopefully 343 knows better.
I bet there will be custom poses/taunts, which could be sweet.

i hate that they make video game characters look like actors i know.
i know that need reference points and there's face capturing etc.. but c'mon man.

First Campaign Mission is basicly a dream from John and he wakes up in a Cave after that.

Yeah they didn't really have to make them look exactly like the characters but whatever.
