Halo |OT 20| It really does feel like Halo

Still debating what to play first. Don't think I'll play at all tonight, I'd rather keep my normal sleep schedule and stuff, but I'm going to get up early tomorrow and game for a few hours before heading to work.

Kind of want to start with CE's campaign and try to do a straight run through of all four before heading into any multi, but then I want to jump in H2A campaign and skip CE.

Or I could join you bros in multi.

Decisions, decisions.
Why not both?
 
Watching 'Breaking Down the Map' for Bloodline I have to say... they really brightened it up and made the colors pop since the initial reveal. It no longer has that muddy filter look. Good stuff.

I have to ask, why not have the Suppressed SMG as the Bloodline starting weapon? It allegedly has a more AR like range, as well as a scope, so I figured it would be a cool way to make it a better starting weapon if you aren't going BR.

I'm trying to decide the same. I've always done the campaigns first, but since this time will be revisiting them if I get invites to MP I'm jumping in. I think going in random is going to be rough. Feels like a lot of people will be returning so I anticipate some groups coming back together and just destroying anyone not able to team up. Hopefully I don't have to play solo too much with this one.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks like Halo 4.5?

Oh, and holy shit, I've been awake since 1PM ET yesterday. Gonna get some sleep and wake up at 6PM to get ready for Gamestop launch.

Worst site ever. This is the site that reviewed MCC and one of it's cons for the game was a lack of sprinting, and that he was tired of shooters.

OH MY GOD. You know that Bloodline video we saw a while back where the player was struggling to use the Hornet?

I finally understand


For some reason you need to press A to get off the ground now. Whereas in Halo 3 you just used the analogue sticks, no?
 
So, yeah, that preview was horrible. If you're gonna break an embargo, at least have a decent writeup. :lol

Those screens don't look all that great visually (Spartan Models and visors specifically), though I really like the concept and art style of that map.

Those Halo 5 screenshots are glorious! The site itself is terrible and can go screw though, will wait for some decent previews to come out before I jump to conclusions.

Where did the #WEBACK come from? I see it everywhere

Haha I have no idea who started it, it's just been used throughout the thread - everyone's excited to have classic Halo back!... Though this install is dampening my excitement...
 
From the preview article:

"Standard team death match or Team Slayer, as its known in the Halo universe, set us down in a Covenant-looking and circular arena with a central bridge leading to a beam sword."

Am I seriously reading a preview written by an author who doesn't know what fucking Midship is?

Preview had more focus on Advance Warfare's mechanics than the game it's previewing.

I'm very worried about this game not feeling "right"
don't fret, plenty of people will remind you that it feels like Halo up until launch. Afterwards those same people will decry 343 for tarnishing their favorite series.
