so what are some of these weapon customization you can have?
I saw the 6 bullet sniper and the br with what looks like an ACOG scope.

oops, that's not what you were asking for
things I've seen:
BR with a DMR scope
BR with a Forerunner attachment that disintegrates enemies (not sure if that's all it does)
SMG with no scope
SMG with a BR RDS
AR with a BR RDS
AR with a DMR scope

+ Day 1 patch DL required
Ok, maybe not, but I am thinking it could be the reason for the silence atm. Considering it's a MP thing I don't mind either way, as long as it's in.

The player:
ground pounding mongooses and Ghosts will be fun though.

I just had a good idea: 343 should base the new Forge's budget on real money. So like for $10 you would get enough budget for 25 medium-sized items. And you could get additional budget expansions for the same price, or maybe $1 off on the anniversary of Halo 5's release. And there could be microtransactions for new item types to add to your library, like a crate skin to make your green crate a different colored crate.
It's nice to have options.

I'm just thinking of ways for 343 to bring added value to us, the players, in accord with the commercial realities of the modern game industry.
ROFL, #rekt.

MS produced this in partnership with Gamespot
Based on the TV ad, recapping the earlier games.

Will ground pound really destroy or damage badly Scorpion if it did land on the tank anyway? And the new model of Scorpion looks more threatening then ever, nice.

I thought I'd try to slip into the headspace of the contemporary AAA game designer and suggest some ways to make Halo 5 even more AAA.
Don't you appreciate on-disk content a lot more when you have to pay $24.99 or whatever to unlock it?

The hell is this lol? Co-produced Gamespot video with Microsoft trying to somehow instill in our minds that Chief is dead?
Ok...

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
This whole "Chief is dead" narrative isn't gonna fool anyone. It was interesting when it appeared to be some ONI shenanigans, but if Microsoft is trying to trick people into thinking Chief is dead by Halo 5 then well....
I highly, highly doubt Chief dies in the events of Halo 5 at all let alone early in the game. I won't judge Locke's character yet as one who could feasibly replace the Chief, but I only see the Arbiter ever potentially replacing him right now.

They're no Kojima that's for sure, this is barely a ruse raft.

When you think about game premise it makes sense ONI gets events or reports of Chief dying now, prior to the game commencing. This would be done so Locke and the game narrative is kicking off from that point. The game and Locke play catch up with the trail of clues until in game it's revealed Chief never died, public propaganda is likely different to Locke's reality of tracking Chief though.
It fits just fine with what we know about the game and previous marketing about Chief or Locke dying as well. Halo 5 is a hunt for the truth, pardon the obvious pun.

Man this looks hype as fuck. Shame it won't be on PC, I can't justify an Xbone for this.

If people are expecting Halo 5 to come to PC, then I wouldn't hold my breath. You'll get Halo Online and like it!
Edit: And... I think I misunderstood your post after the second half appeared.

You're basically trashing a console and port begging in one sentence.

...I wasn't trashing anything, but okay. I don't think "It doesn't justify an Xbone" counts as trashing. But if it does, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it.
Let me try and restate: I wish this game would come out on the only platform I'm interested in.
That's as inoffensive as I can make that statement.

Port begging is a crime 'round these parts, doesn't matter how nicely you say it. I know from experience, dude, if ya know what I mean.
A lot of shannanigans today with the "leaks" and the dragons and the magic. It's all an illusion. Can't wait for more The Sprint, shit hypes me up more than trailers.

Why is it a crime? That's an insane thing to get defensive about. "This game looks good, wish I could play it!" What is possibly bad about that?
AllIsOneIsNone

It has nothing to do with that. It's a forum guideline. Just accept and move on, nobody is offended.
It's a bummer a ground pound doesn't do anything to a Scorpion, I hoped it would at least do some damage or knock it back a bit.

Fair enough, won't happen again.
Ninja Gaiden is dead, so no hayabusa apparently.
They do and that's exactly what's happening.

Two things the player might have been thinking:
Stolen from Reddit
1. He ground pounded to try and get close to the tank so he could board it.
2. He thought he could destroy the tank with the ground pound.
I want to say he was smart enough and was thinking the first option. But since I laughed too damn hard at it, he probably was thinking of the 2nd option. LMAO

The fact that he thinks chasing it down and shooting it with his BR is a good idea makes me lean option 2 as well.

LOL at the apparent "port begging." He was by no means begging that it come to PC, merely stating that he really respects Halo 5 and sees the appeal, but doesn't think it's worth the cash for an Xbone alone. Beg means to earnestly ask, which he was not doing.
The whole port begging police is outta control.

That second one could have been me tbh. I do the dumbest things in matchmaking.
