Why do we think we'll see Sangheilios?

 

[Faith]

So they will show MP footage @E3?

 

[Bsigg12]

Why would the Spartan hunt Master Chief?

Maybe Chief has gone rogue looking for Cortana and the UNSC sent out the new character to find him?

 

[ShinAmano]

I love halo.

 

[Muscle Wizard]

The Precursors became the flood.



Flood is done, so I don't expect the Precursors.


http://www.halopedia.org/Precursor#Background

Humanity was supposed to be the reclaimers of the Forerunners, not ancient technologically advance enemies that became ghost robots. Halo canon is easily retconned.

 

[Marvel]

Shame it wasn't a female character. Missed a trick there 343.

 

[tkalamba]

Why do we think we'll see Sangheilios?

The concept art looks like it'd fit the planet. Giant Elite statue and architecture somewhat fit how everything is described in the novels I believe.

 

[Not_A-Cop_Maybe]

Have you read the Forerunner trilogy? Everything in the final book points to The Flood returning.

Well yeah, the books take place before the Halo games, so technically they already came back bruh.

 

[Muscle Wizard]

Maybe Chief has gone rogue looking for Cortana and the UNSC sent out the new character to find him?

You mean Halsey?

 

[SargerusBR]

No Arbiter?

 

[Retrocide]

Maybe the new Spartan is the protagonist hunting chief considering the Spartan Program is alive and well. Probably starts off as enemies and eventually becomes an ally like the Arbiter.

That's my thinking.

 

[Latvian Hitman]

Automatic, always-active vehicle ejector seat perk confirmed.

Two moons and the planet is red-ish.

They said the same thing about Halo 4 and this happened:

I hope it does, though.

 

[Edwardo]

So they will show MP footage @E3?

Can only hope.

Man this is getting me all kinds of giddy today.

 

[jet1911]

Microsoft knows that GAF servers won't hold during E3, that's why they are announcing their games early!

 

[Raide]

Cannot wait for Armor Lock to makes its grand return!

 

[hao chi]

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

bring me this 343.

I'd probably buy an Xbox One for that, assuming the rest of the gameplay is balanced and fun.

 

[Idempotent Button]

This news is relevant to my interests.

My body is ready.

etc.

 

[Ominym]

So they will show MP footage @E3?

"Feels like Halo."

Not buying it. You've got to earn it 343i.

 

[TheGravemind]

Maybe Chief has gone rogue looking for Cortana and the UNSC sent out the new character to find him?

or to kill halsey

i think the new guy is the designed assassin for the mission to kill that bitch. As the arbiter and chief, the new guy will be at first an enemy and after an ally

 

[Kibbles]

So they will show MP footage @E3?

Maybe H2A MP is halo 5 MP ayy

 

[Sai-kun]

So they will show MP footage @E3?

It's gonna take a lot more than a tweet this time around, I think.

 

[joeker]

Ah, so they are following the Metroid Prime model. Introduce Shadow Chief in the sequel.

 

[Booties]

Excited for a whole new set of maps for me to jetpack around and break.

 

[Eoin]

So they will show MP footage @E3?

They don't need to show footage, just a slide will do.
• No loadouts
• No perks
• No sprint
• Static weapons
• No armour abilities
• 1-50

 

[TheCongressman1]

Neat. I don't feel like it needs a subtitle though.

 

[Bornstellar]

Why do we think we'll see Sangheilios?

1. That's an elite statue in the background.
2. Looks like 3 suns in the background to me (Sanghelios is in a trinary star system - http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Sanghelios)
3."Like Earth, its atmosphere consists of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen, but also has a reddish hue to it, perhaps indicating large amounts of iron or new rock being made by the core."

 

[KDC720]

I enjoyed 4, but it did have a lot of silly problems that dragged the game down. I hope 343i has learned from their mistakes.

 

[Woorloog]

Neat. I don't feel like it needs a subtitle though.

Indeed. Not at least such a generic one. If it were something like "Guardians of the Mantle", it would be better though also kind of nonsensical (the humankind isn't aware of their Forerunner legacy in general).

 

[TheGravemind]

They don't even need to show footage, just a slide will do.
• No loadouts
• No perks
• No sprint
• Static weapons
• No armour abilities
• 1-50

basic armour abilities, like those in reach , can stay as long they are not very important in the fight ( i hated the promethean vision)

no weapons drop and respawn stickies i ask

 

[Akai__]

Excited for a whole new set of Battlefield-sized maps for me to jetpack around and break.

FTFY

 

[Marvel]

I see what looks like alien flying things in that picture to, similar to Gears' Reavers but mini scale.

 

[RebornYeti]

Give me Halo: Battlefield MP please.

#controversialgamingopinion

 

[il Diavolo]

I wake up and see this? Holy shit.

 

[Poker Face]

So they will show MP footage @E3?

wonder how long until we hear "trust us" again

 

[Booties]

FTFY

I doubt it.

I see what looks like alien flying things in that picture to, similar to Gears' Reavers but mini scale.

Looks like those things from the matrix to me.

 

[tkalamba]

Give me Halo: Battlefield MP please.

#controversialgamingopinion

After all the time I've put into the large scale battles of Battlefield, I agree

 

[Bornstellar]

I see what looks like alien flying things in that picture to, similar to Gears' Reavers but mini scale.

Can't find a book reference to it atm, but I swear I read about these somewhere in the Kilo-5 trilogy.

 

[Everdred]

I hope Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer is classic Halo gameplay and the same engine they'll use for Halo 5. It would be weird to have 2 Halo games with multiplayer in 10 months. They need to get this right.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

So we can expect Gamer Fuel to return in Fall 2015!?!?

 

[Raide]

Give me Halo: Battlefield MP please.

#controversialgamingopinion

All I want to do is have a ranking system that starts me as a Grunt. Thats all I want. Everyone starts as Grunts and you rank up to better things and get vehicle drops in etc. Damn I want to really drive a Scarab,

 

[User 73706]

Why is Sanghelios Space Agrabah and not, like, Space New Neo Tokyo?

 

[Marvel]

Can't find a book reference to it atm, but I swear I read about these somewhere in the Kilo-5 trilogy.

If I'm not failing epically in my view on those flying things, would be nice if they weren't just passive creatures. I enjoyed shooting Buggers out of the sky in previous titles.

 

[Woorloog]

Hmm. Using Halo 2 Anniversary MP (assuming it isn't just Halo 2 MP with new graphics) as a prototype for Halo 5 would be neat, assuming they're actually trying something new. If they're going for barebones... eh, whatever, not interested then no matter what. (No, i don't mean i want perks and AAs. I want something new that works, or bring back equipment from Halo 3)

 

[-COOLIO-]

Shame it wasn't a female character. Missed a trick there 343.

we know that its not? the design really looks feminine right down to the thigh gap.

 

[Woorloog]

Frankie confirmed the new character isn't a girl.

 

[Diprosalic]

So they will show MP footage @E3?

fool me once...

 

[Faith]

No sprint? No way.

 

[Bornstellar]

Confirmed as "he".
