Support NeoGAF

[matrixman92]

That is great news, but I absolutely hated the beta. Maybe if the campaign is really good i will pick it up

 

[link1201]

All maps free .....hallelujah!!!!!

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

They usually start with a 3rd party so either COD or if they don't have COD, Tomb Raider ?

Will start with Halo like they did with Halo 4 back in 2012.

 

[solis74]

free maps, free co op, Battlefield game mode, blue team, and best of all #TeamLocke

Lol

 

[Compsiox]

HOLY FUCK I LOVE IT ALL. THEY FUCKING KILLED IT!!


HYPE:

[0%----------------------------------------------------100%]------------------------------------>∞%


If the fireteam commanding is done right then I literally love everything.

Free maps instead of DLC is the best thing ever. No more community splits.

 

[shandy706]

I'll believe all of this when I see the reviews. These guys have a lot to prove after the horrible situation that was the MCC

I don't understand why people tie MCC to Halo 5 (as far as development of an individual game). 343i didn't put together MCC. It was multiple other studios.

Halo 4 wasn't some horrible crash and burn release with a million glitches.

Will start with Halo like they did with Halo 4 back in 2012.

Start with Halo and end with Rare or an old Rare IP being developed by another studio.

 

[blue_phazon]

That is great news, but I absolutely hated the beta. Maybe if the campaign is really good i will pick it up

Is such a thing even possible?

 

[Oscar]

Will reserve judgement until we see some live MP footage from E3.

LOVED Halo 1-3, Reach felt odd, and by Halo 4 I was no longer interested.

Can't exactly pin point what it is that turned me off, but I hope this game reignites the love I had for this series. I miss it.

 

[Faith]

Did anyone read the spoiler?

 

[JB1981]

AI partners and commands in a Halo game? Well I'm very skeptical of having those kinds of mechanics in a Halo shooter.

 

[shandy706]

Did anyone read the spoiler?

People should stay away from it. It's probably part of the E3 presentation!

Now you've done it!

 

[samurai1226]

The new mp mode will definitely be some Battlefield kind of thing. All sandbox elemtens means big maps, vehicles, objectives, etc to me. And according to campaign details they implemented reviving other Spartans, so it totally screams for a battlefield mode, or I prefer of see it as Invasion 2.0

But no splitscreen coop sounds really bad. I played Halo splitscreen coop with a friend of mine since Halo 1 after school. We already were looking forward to finally play a new Halo in coop. But no, for the first time in 14 years we wont be able to play splitscreen coop? WTF

 

[JB1981]

My guess is the new multiplayer is Halo meets Battlefield. Can't fucking wait!!

Why are people saying this?

 

[matrixman92]

Is such a thing even possible?

Ive enjoyed most of the Halo campaigns. Only one I thought was subpar was Halo 4, just seemed like a weird transition overall. 5 has an interesting concept

 

[Compsiox]

• This MP experience is described as a "dream of ours and all our fans to build something like this"

Super large scale big team battle with many vehicles confirmed. Frankie please tell me if my expectations are off.

 

[everyday math]

Guess I'm getting Halo 5. God damn Blue team in my veins.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

The zealous religions Covenant are slowly abandoning Jul M'dama's leadership in Halo 4

I played Halo 4 and have no idea who that even is =/

 

[i-Lo]

Where does Buck fit in?

 

[RdN]

Hot damn, hitting all the right notes!

The most important is that they finally understood that paid map packs destroyed the Halo community/ Having them free is fantastic.

Also, really excited about this new multiplayer experience. Hoping for something along the lines of Battlefield. Huge maps, lot's of players, etc.

 

[Apoleptica]

I played Halo 4 and have no idea who that even is =/

At this point you need to have read like 5 novels to have any clue as to what is going on in the Halo universe.

 

[AgentOtaku]

HYYYYYYPEEED!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mesonak]

Tons better than the last GI reveal, that's for sure.

Free map DLC is quite the megaton. It's a genius idea and will generate a lot of goodwill.

343 needs to climb their way back out from the hole they've dug themselves into, and while Halo 4 was questionable and MCC was a travesty, I hope that Halo 5 is a success. Everything looks pretty good so far, so color me hyped.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Where does Buck fit in?

He is a Spartan 4 and on the team Locke takes to hunt down Chief

 

[Welfare]

Where does Buck fit in?

He's #TeamLocke now and a pansy Spartan 4.

 

[keit4]

Ok, i need some Halo. How is the TMCC after the patches? Is it fixed?

 

[FunkyPajamas]

XBL Gold is not required for online co-op.

Oh my.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Wow, those impressions are amazing!! I'm super hyped for this one!

 

[ebullientprism]

Whether playing as Chief or Locke

Only thing I dont like. Rest sounds perfect.

 

[Compsiox]

At this point you need to have read like 5 novels to have any clue as to what is going on in the Halo universe.

or just browse the lore and halo 5 thread for a while.

 

[Mooreberg]

Map support sounds great. Hopefully the plot is coherent to people that do not follow the novels or comic books.

 

[Black Mantis]

My word, this sounds incredible!

 

[The Super Bob]

Well if they pull all of that off it would certainly make up for the MCC.

Sounds really interesting. Glad we will get to play with Blue Team as that's something fans I've talked about since the release of Fall of Reach. Looks like this might be a sensible evolution of the series.

 

[Anon67]

Brb gonna pre order the $100 collectors edition.

 

[Korean Jesus]

• Halo 5 will launch with over 20 multiplayer maps
• 15 DLC maps by June 2016
• All maps will be free

SOLD

 

[Faith]

Nobody excited that they confirmed that we'll play Locke in the campaign? Was this clear before?

 

[tootsi666]

Jul Mdama was heavily featured in Spartan Ops. He is far from some random novel character.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Don't think so but it's not surprising at all.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

It has been pretty heavily hinted at for a while now. I think most just assumed it at this point.

 

[The Super Bob]

I don't think it was ever officially confirmed but everyone just sort of assumed it would be the case.

Edit: Beaten twice.

 

[samurai1226]

Why are people saying this?

All Halo sandbox elements means a lot of vehicles, weapons, objectives, etc. So it has to be like a bigger BTB or Invasion 2.0 - Something like Battlefield. They even build in reviving teammates in campaign, why not using it in a speical mp mode?

Nobody excited that they confirmed that we'll play Locke in the campaign? Was this clear before?

We know that you play as Locke since he was on the very first boxart. There were even rumors that he got more playtime than John

 

[Muffdraul]

Where does Buck fit in?

His name is Buck and he's here to f

[Rockstar Beaver]

[*]All maps will be free

 

[DerZuhälter]

So it's something like Republic Commando.

Can someone develop Republic Commando 2 now?

 

[Helznicht]

Dedicated MS servers 100% of the time where I can see how gud my connection is or I am not interested. I sat down and played Dirty Bomb last night with a 35 ping, it was glorious. Not going back to ptp bs ever again.

 

[Kinyou]

At first I wasn't happy about there always being a team with you, but hearing that you can actually give them commands makes me reconsider that.

Josh Holmes of 343 has already said the game is running multiplayer completely on dedicated servers. Outside a few hiccups because it was a beta, what we played in January ran great.

Disney canned Star Wars 1313, you'll get Republic Commando 2 on Neveruary 32nd 4550

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Free maps is the way to go, everyone should do it. Make extra money on cosmetic stuff like weapon skins if you have to. Plenty of people will buy that sort of stuff.

 

[rokkerkory]

Nobody excited that they confirmed that we'll play Locke in the campaign? Was this clear before?

Yeah I believe 343 did say this prior

 

[Helznicht]

Did the beta show your ping to the server or at least a color bar indicating connection health?
