Seriously. I don't either. Matchmaking doesn't always mean good experiences, but I have the option to gamble it when friends arent on so that's great.

Then don't. Nobody is forcing you to use matchmaking.

I'm not saying matchmaking shouldn't be an option.
I'm just saying using the option is potentially worse than playing with friends or online communities you're a part of.

Why doesn't Buck have "Halsey" written on the bottom of his boot?

You see those mountains? You can go there.

Occam's razor.
Speaking of dark backgrounds... Can we expect brightness settings in Halo 5? I ask because the MCC suffered from crushed black settings in almost every campaign. It really wasn't nice to look at sometimes. :/
Are you really implying that Palmer dyed her hair and got a tan and not that 343 changed up her design?

Was thinking a similar thing. Reddish brown hair + blue tint display = dark purple-or-black hair.

The trailer definitely got me excited, really enjoyed the setting and music. We really haven't seen much from the campaign, so this is something to get hyped about. I actually hope they keep campaign stuff mostly on lock up to release, so as to avoid spoilers.
I do find it strange how Master Chief seems to be so de-emphasized from all marketing materials. I'm a big fan of the overall lore in the Halo universe, but MC is the main attraction for me.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
Yup. The books flesh out the world so much. I play Halo for the story and will always purchase the games just for the lore. The multiplayer is just added bonus.

Please tell me Blue Team is getting a similar cutscene as badass as this.

Vale > Kat > The rock Tanaka smashes through > Palmer
Everyone has their own preferences, but this is exactly why I didn't like Halo 4 as much. The story might have been decent for the lore fans, but it just lacked in gameplay and as someone who buys games mainly for the gameplay, it was just heavily disappointing.
I just want to see gameplay, so I can make a decision. Frankie and others teased us several times with larger scale levels/fights etc., but it would be nice to see those. I know people don't want to get spoiled, but compared to other Halo's we haven't seen "anything" from the campaign yet.

Yeah, but the joy of seeing that smug attitude of Palmers taken down would be awesome.

Master Chief is another castle bruh
Just... Unnnf. Yes.
Yes yes yes.
Awesome but I wish they would allow us to jump out the pelican and glide down one day. Hope we get something like that during the game, maybe even a little bit. As cool as it looks, I'm just watching but my imagination is thinking it would be amazing to play that.
Just... Unnnf. Yes.
Yes yes yes.

Where the hell is Master Chief??? Why are we fighting Covenant again??? I thought we made a truce at the end of 3?
But it's infinity better than playing with no one simply because your friends aren't online, and you don't feel like finding friends on a website...

Chief is with Blue Team doing other stuff. Covenant splintered: Swords of Sanghelios (Arbiter/human side) and then the faction under Jul 'Mdama.

. Ugh... garbage. Why didn't 343 stick with their guns and stay Forerunner only. This Covenant shit got old in ODST.Liked the banter on the ship and the freefall but once they touch ground...yikes. It's like they're skating, really don't like their movement at all. I appreciate the attempt at showing this elite spartan team just mowing through this huge fight but came off a little too anime wankery to me. Kinda like Monty Oum's work (RIP), without the solid choreography. Hope anything involving Blue team is a little more grounded.

While its' dumb that 343 used the covenant and came up with a shitpoor reason for it, this post doesn't make any sense
