Ugh people and their CBOAT obsession. You guys look like crazed groupies.

OT: Can't wait for some gameplay footage.. really excited to get more information.

Masquerader · May 16, 2014

Has no-one had the idea of the cover character being, oh, I don't know... A completely new character~?

There's that. Still think they will bring back two playable characters, like halo 2s campaign.

Cortana is a girl. She refers to herself as such many times throughout the series.

Ape · May 16, 2014

Did the main character from ODST ever die?

TheSlySoul · May 16, 2014

Of course they made the suit have no gender. It would be neat if a woman. I would at least give it a shot. I am sick of Master Chief.

jelly · May 16, 2014

Another clone of John and ONI didn't put an expiry date on him. Trained him up for ONI special ops separately.

Master Chief needs to sacrifice himself being space Jesus and all for some plot line to save the Universe but in the end the other clone does it. Backdraft ending with Kurt Russell, let him fall. You Go, We go, nah.

Bsigg12 · May 16, 2014

Can't wait to see what this looks like and see where 343 is taking the story.

JJD · May 16, 2014

Man why is MS revealing everything they have before E3? Hopefully it's because they have a lot to show!

Maybe now I'll buy a xbone...

(I'm still hoping for Alan Wake 2!)

The Real Napsta · May 16, 2014

Why do people keep saying Cortana isn't female? Just like with humans, if she identifies as female, she is female.

I think it's MC with a new suit personally.

Xbudz · May 16, 2014

I am happy it's not Cortana

OMG, I need to go outside and have a moment. So happy.

60fps
dedicated servers
ranking system 1-50
good maps
no custom load outs.
No random weapon drops.
NO Armour Abilities

bring me this 343.

All of this is absolutely nailed especially the 1-50 ranking system. Halo is online multiplayer and Halo 4 took a step back to what Halo is.

Dabanton · May 16, 2014

All I ask is for fun enemies to battle again. The ones in Halo 4 wore out their welcome very quickly absolutely no fun to fight. Thank god the Covenant were in the game.

Reach firefight was awesome, and actually allowed matchmaking so it wasn't worthless.

Holy shit, this reminds me of Prime 2 Echoes with the Dark Samus stuff. Guess its time to get a Bone next year!

Cortana is based off the brain of Dr. Halsey, who's a woman. It's how all Halo AIs are made.

She's a girl.

The hype is not because we did not know that Halo 5 exists. It is because Halo is the biggest franchise of past generation. That game that all Halo fans want to play and enjoy.

Sadly, as a Halo fan..I don't think the game I want to play and enjoy is ever going to be made...

True, but there's is this (From Halo 4 - 343i)

Don't make a girl a promise you can't keep.

It's a robot, isn't it? No arm is fitting through that elbow joint.

op_ivy · May 16, 2014

was this cortana?
no, thats john, spartan 117

this mystery spartan is not cortana. apparently the spartan is not a female. this mystery spartan *could* have an AI copy of cortana, but thats complete speculation.

Idk the body reminds me of the spartan 4 female structure for some reason, that's why I think it's a women. Cortana technically is "female", based on the fact that she was created from part of Dr. Halseys DNA and personality traits, and brain function.

gaugebozo · May 16, 2014

The cover looks like a reflection, not a different picture. The characters have about the same height and waist size. Are we sure this is a new character and not just a new suit? Won't it be unusual if there was a non-Master Chief character who was the focus of the box art, and Master Chief is only viewed upside-down? It's probably new tech, not someone new.

And in case this thread is going too fast:

JHall · May 16, 2014

Shaking my head at all these people defending sprint/armour abilities, loadouts, etc...

Halo is an arena shooter. Not some run and gun CoD clone.

mte, the top spartan is obviously the focus of the boxart so maybe it's just chief in new armor?

oh good thing I read the first two pages and skipped the rest then lol

Azlan · May 16, 2014

I cannot wait for a new Halo. It is definitely the franchise I have the most fun playing multiplayer out of all of the major fps games. I still remember how amazed I was when the original Halo came out, and now no matter how many they put out I won't be able to resist. Guess everyone has to have a few gaming weaknesses.

ultron87 · May 16, 2014

I'm hoping the mystery Spartan will be something like the SA-X from Metroid Fusion. But I dunno if it quite looks antagonistic enough on that cover.

Wubbys · May 16, 2014

WJD said:

My thoughts exactly. Armor lock was a real winner /s. AA ruined halo as an arena shooter.

Dunno how I feel about Halo 5 having a subtitle. I like my main series Halo games to just have the number. Calling it Halo 5: Guardians feels like Halo 3: ODST. ODST was great and all but wasn't a main story game.

Revson · May 16, 2014

Here's hoping they learned their lesson with Halo 4.
