Halo 5: Guardians revealed - more at E3 - Fall 2015 [Box Art person is new guy]

I feel like this announcement could have waited until E3. Simply unveiling a piece of concept art with a description of the game seems like such a weird/unexciting way to announce one of your biggest exclusive franchises.

MS must have some huge bombs to drop at E3 if Halo 5: Guardians is a pre-E3 announcement.

omggggggg :D
 
They're blowing their load a month early, which makes me wonder what the hell they have planned for E3. Just what dark magic is Phil Spencer using for the E3 conference that warrants Halo being a game they have to announce early? It's gonna be crazy.

And that's totally Cortana on the top.
 
That is SO far out it's going to be annoying holding conversations and people blast out list wars and this is on it even though it's a year and a half.

Cannot wait for the H2A reveal, in CBoaT we trust.

60fps

good maps
no custom load outs.
No random weapon drops.
NO Armour Abilities

You all lose me here. Fuck that, lets not make the game so damn bare bones. Fuck.

I can honestly say that I won't mind if the resolution is even 720p because we're getting Halo @ 60 fps for the first time, ever. Anything that comes after it can be improved.

Pretty damn excited!
 
they are revealing this shit before E3 they must feel fucking good bout there content right ?

In the lucid dreams of fanboys. Halo is the biggest MS IP and nothing could top it sales wise. It's not like revealing a title would eliminate it from the upcoming show. The will have to show the title in action. I suspect the same will go for Sunset Overdrive.
I find the recurring "Oh my God, what is under wraps must be earth shattering since they mentionned such ans such tidbit" incredibly funny...

Why make this announcement now, 18 months before release, in the manner? Surely people didn't actually expect the game to be out this year?!

Game was announced last year at E3 so I can see how people expected to release this year. The same way some people still think Uncharted 4 is this year and not 2015.
 
Uh huh, thought it might be kind of non-news. Also really dangerous to announce a window so far off, no? Especially if it's 'larger in scope' etc etc.

Anywhos, hopefully there's a trailer at E3.
 
Well that's nice....I guess. MS has been trying their best to generate headlines this week, and good on them. These morsels of info don't take much away from E3 but still create buzz.
 
Because the primordial Call of Duty babies wanted battle rifles and nothing else. That gun ruined the series.

What? That has nothing to do with AA. Its the only innovative thing in halo since Halo 2. It can be balanced better and was significantly in h4 over reach. No reason to throw out one of the most fun aspects of the game now.

I'm going to be shocked if AA are gone so i'm not worried. I love em.
 
Halo 5 was bumped from the MS conference? Holy fucking shit.

Yeah and it's not because there is some big beyond megaton news either.

There is just no way Phil Spencer is going to let the mind share be that all Microsoft has is Halo. They are clearly going to reveal H2A as the big E3 game and bumped this so that their whole line-up wasn't Halo. This new 'omg if HALO 5 got bumped..." stuff is pretty funny. But, E3 is about hype so ... Half-Life 3 CONFRIEMD XBOX1 xclusssssive!

Ha, that would be hilarious.

I recall that year where they announced H1A and Halo 4 next to each other, and people seemed to laugh at that as being emblematic of MS' over-reliance on the franchise

But, to make room for what else? Seriously, Phil must have a stellar lineup waiting for us if he's releasing all that he has so far before E3. I seriously can't wait.

Top character has an ONI emblem on the armour.


I think palmer is looking for the chief...hence the mirror imaging, so Cortana is gone for sure, which is why the need to introduce a second female character...they could have flipped the image as well, but I think its a way of telling us that this might not be Chief's story, the other Spartan is going to be a central character...maybe differering perspectives which mesh into something common...something on the lines of halo 2...
