Big update from 343 on halo 5's campaign

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/halo-5-guardians-building-an-epic-campaign

Large Portion of the game seems to be 1080p but it will dynamically change res in heavy action areas

In much of the campaign you may be playing at 1080p, but when we want to get really crazy with vehicles, visual effects and combat we can trade some of the resolution in order to maintain the crucial 60fps

Two New Videos

Edit:

Thought I would pull some quotes from what people have posted

Throughout production, our team pushed one another to ensure that gameplay spaces were huge, highly populated and alive. Weve expanded our environments to support large battle scenes while surrounding them with multi-layered skyboxes that showcase the larger conflict around the player.

Also a longer quote around the 60fps dynamic resolution topping at 1080p

Ensuring 60fps throughout our play experience has required constant focus. Some sections of a mission might be relatively quiet and achieving 60fps is straightforward, but there are many situations where we dial the intensity up to 11. At those times, we need to maintain 60fps and give players the total experience from both a design and artistic perspective. This is where our new progressive resolution system comes into play, allowing the game to scale resolution dynamically as the experience gets more intense and complex. In much of the campaign you may be playing at 1080p, but when we want to get really crazy with vehicles, visual effects and combat we can trade some of the resolution in order to maintain the crucial 60fps. Without this system, we would need to either reduce the scale of our most intense combat encounters or lower the quality of content across the game in order to stay at 60 fps at all times. With progressive resolution, we get the best of both worlds: epic scale experiences that look incredible while running at a consistent 60fps.

wondering how much of the campaign will be actually be 1080p/60 the whole time.

game looks like a ton of fun though, excited for it. hope it lives up to everything 343 is saying.

now more on forge/customs/etc please

Alcoholikaust · Sep 14, 2015

In addition to solo play, weve made online Co-op a priority in Halo 5. Every mission is designed with Co-op play in mind

Looks really fucking good.

Yes please.

My god that looked really good. Cannot wait. It looks like this is the stuff that was leaked in that low res video from about a week ago.

Man do those nice open areas look oh so fine.

All I have to know is if we return to a Halo. Then it will be auto-purchased.

Taking my laptop and booking a room to see this lmao

NippleViking · Sep 14, 2015

Campaign encounters look fantastic. So much space!

But damn did that player make it loom tame.

One of the Grunts Scream (spoilers?)

You've gotta be fucking kidding me 343i, if true.

Edit* I'm an idiot, should have watched the whole video lol.

JumPeRJumPzZ · Sep 14, 2015

They removed one scene from the Cinema Trailer ...

RoyalLaFlame · Sep 14, 2015

The jackals screams... holy shit. They creep me out.

Doubt it. They're probably going on that his fate is sealed and they'll win hands down.

Grunts, clearly the most well-informed senior members of the Covenant military hierarchy.

ElzarTheBam · Sep 14, 2015

Hypeeed

Glad that they're prioritising 60fps too.

The Jackdog · Sep 14, 2015

Halo 5s campaign provides a huge variety of experiences: from giant battles amidst large-scale destruction to quieter moments spent exploring the ruins of alien civilizations or interacting with the habitants of a human colony beyond the reach of the UNSC

interesting. wonder if this is anything more than 'walk through housing block people say things in your general direction' that most shooters do

TheOddOne · Sep 14, 2015

That was a lot of bueno.

ProvenDeadly · Sep 14, 2015

Drink every time a game dev uses the word epic to describe their story.

Bonus round: Every time they say their characters will be unforgettable.

CrichtonKicks · Sep 14, 2015

Is there no longer blood?

Hypertrooper · Sep 14, 2015

That gameplay at the end looks incredible. I hope it was played on easy. :O

Frog-fu · Sep 14, 2015

dat gameplay

I love how the grunts are screaming weird shit again. I missed that.

Primethius · Sep 14, 2015

Hot fucking damn! The Sanghelios gameplay is looking like a return to form!

Still not a fan of Locke's voice though.

Chief kicking Locke's ass?

co-op focus is what happens when your game director previously made Star Wars: Republic Commando

jbug617 · Sep 14, 2015

I like how open it looks with multiple ways to attack the enemy.

Leyasu · Sep 14, 2015

Ill watch after the kids have been feed and watered.

I like locks voice.

Bsigg12 · Sep 14, 2015

Damn that looked good. I can't wait to play this.

BruceLeeRoy · Sep 14, 2015

Well....That looked pretty awesome. I saw some wide open areas.
Must not get hyped. Must remember Halo 4

CassidyIzABeast · Sep 14, 2015

When they said maps would be more vertical no lies were told. sheesh.

Hawk269 · Sep 14, 2015

My comment with the "Oh God" was before I saw the link for the Gameplay SP footage. Damn did that also look fantastic and very open, which should address people being concerned with open areas.

Yup.

I was really impressed when Locke started climbing those pillars to get a better vantage point.

Good shit. Want.

Trup1aya · Sep 14, 2015

Yes Yes Yes! Level design is looking leagues better than Halo4 from what I've seen... And I like what the Spartan abilities bring to the tables... So many options = so many play throughs.

Seeing stuff like this makes me so confused when I think back to the E3 demo... Oh well, the past is the past... This wait is getting unbearable...

RoyalLaFlame · Sep 14, 2015

Just watched both videos - it's good, it's reaaaaaally good.

Anyone noticed the mission takes place in 27th October?

Primethius · Sep 14, 2015

"Act Casual..."

Frog-fu · Sep 14, 2015

Also lol @ how the mission is dated 27 October 2558, 543 years from the launch date of the game.

Fata1moose · Sep 14, 2015

This thread has the most replies, so I suppose this is what we're going with.

Dynamic resolution confirmed:

60fps gameplay is supported by a new progressive resolution system that allows us to dynamically scale the resolution at which we render the game (up to 1080p) based on the needs of the scene. This enables us to deploy resources where they have most impact across a diverse series of experiences throughout the game while delivering the most visually stunning Halo game ever.

Ensuring 60fps throughout our play experience has required constant focus. Some sections of a mission might be relatively quiet and achieving 60fps is straightforward, but there are many situations where we dial the intensity up to 11.

One thing is for sure, they learned a lot from the second half of Spartan Ops. Hopefully they mixed up the objectives though, enough with the buttons.
