This Helmet is ugly...
Eurgh. Everything about that armour looks ugly. So damn goofy.

Ahhh I thought he meant the dogs and shit. Yeah, agreed on the differences between Knights, they were too subtle a lot of the time.

I think the big problem I'm having is all that exposed neck. I dunno why it puts me off so much, but it does. There were even a few chest pieces in Halo 4 that left a ton of neck exposed and it was weird for me then too.

The whole thing is just oddly proportioned. The hips, the biceps, the neck. Looks like armor a skinny nerd would wear to a cosplay event. Liking the look of most other armor types so far though.

Compared to the greater design of Bungie's Halo games, I'm somewhat put off by 343's artistic direction for the Halo series. They've taken a very washed out, metallic approach to both the natural and artificial environments and it just doesn't seem authentic to me, whereas passed games were dealing with a lot more multi-surfaced textures such as organic spaces and weathered ruins. There were indeed some colorful spaces in the Campaign, and Spartan Ops had some beautiful levels (Refuge and Cauldron), but where I think their design really shined was in their Forerunner stuff, particularly the "redrunner" theme of the Promethean architecture.
I've lost count of how many times I've replayed this mission and marveled and the architecture.
If artistic license is the only thing I'm going to have to have a problem with (though it obviously wont be), then I'll be relieved. Overall, this game is sounding more interesting each day and I'm looking forward to seeing the changes they've made since the beta in action.

I used to play Halo 3, 4, ODST, Reach religiously for its multiplayer with friends now...
it seems we moved on to Destiny because of its RPG mechanics and those raids.
Though I look forward to playing Halo 5's campaign, not so much for multiplayer. There's already crucible for Destiny and my armor in Destiny look already bad ass. The characters in Destiny are my own and feel attached to them as they improve light level and get better gear.
Still curious how Chiefs story will be resolved. I just hope there's friends to play with for Halo 5 but Destiny seems too addicting.

looks fantastic... but its odd that the environments they are showing, both the human space station (?) and the canyons, are so similar to environments in halo 4. certainly isnt helping with the (jump to) conclusions some people are making concerning the improvement, or lack there of, of the graphics tech.

Depends what you want, really. 'Investment' is always going to be stronger in an RPG, but give me Arena over the Crucible any day.

I agree, I'll take more Tron in my Halo any day of the week. Everything Forerunner in Halo 4 looked sweet, including the weapons. Let's hope they actually have more use in multiplayer this time around (light rifle is a huge improvement so it's looking good thus far). Can't wait to see some of the strange smart scopes they add to them.
I think they are saving it for E3.

What do you guys think of friendly fire being included in multiplayer? It's definitely a trade-off, but I think it's better off if it's in. Grenade spam in Halo is a real thing (and will be an even bigger thing if they leave the grenade hit markers in), and friendly fire is one thing that's pretty good at reducing it.

I am thinking/hoping that's the case. Liking what I'm seeing but hope this isn't it....I want a WOW moment.
FF is important for competitive gamemodes. It should be disabled for casual playlists though
I don't mind as long as they don't have that stupid betrayal/ boot option after 1 kill.

Forget the fingers, why does the left hand holding the BR always look terribly contorted? That can't be comfortable.

Here we go...
I notice that in Metal Gear and it bothers me all the time. I assume it's actually the proper way to hold a gun like that. EDIT: Oh wait. You're talking about the other hand.

Read Halo New Blood. It gives all the details about Buck and his former squad Alpha-Nine and why he's now a Spartan.

Hoping the scale is going to be much larger than Halo 4.
Right now, as I anticipated, the graphics aren't impressing.
Looks like too similar to Halo 4. It looks much better don't get me wrong. But I guess I was expecting PBR to improve the armor, weapons, and metal structures more.
From these screens they just look like higher res Halo 4 stuff with the same general lighting.

Funny you say that. They said the same thing on Podcast Unlocked and lo and behold the design lead (I think) on Republic Commando is at 343.

They say that in the article too, and I personally think Halo could benefit from a little Republic Commando. Spice shit up a bit.

As soon as they mentioned the squad with available commands, that's exactly what I thought. Seriously, I've wanted a Spartan squad game like that for a loooong time, but I always assumed I'd only ever see it in a spin off or something.
You people really are overstating how good Halo 4 looked. I mean it looked pretty good but this is far better.
