Overrated films, Empire Strikes Back is the only one worth watching and it's a 7/10 at best.

Also have to remember, they need to market to a new generation of gamers. Just sucks as long time fans, but this is the kind of game play and mechanics the CoD crowd loves. Crazy how Doom and Battlefront don't really seem to have ADS in a sense but Halo felt they needed to add some form of it.

I find the whole ADS funny especially considering Battlefront will sell boatloads more than Halo 5.

Eh, I disagree. I think we'll be fine from a scale perspective.

Also @ the ADS comment:

Disagree with what? That these moments aren't in because they match the 'Michael Bay' style moments that are present in other shooters like CoD and Battlefield? And what's to disagree about ADS? We all know why it's there. It's irrelevant how much they've tried to make it function like classic click zoom. Doom didn't see the need to add it in, neither should Halo.

Yeah. No kidding. 2 weeks after Halo, Battlefront launches. Going to be a juggernaut after that reveal. I've already had 4 guys post about it on Facebook, and two have messaged me on whatsapp asking if I'm gonna get it. Even non gamers are excited because of the new movie too.

Theory time: Chief's Space Jedi Librarian powers let him enter / pilot the Guardian because he's the ultimate life form or some shit. His modified biology comes to light early on in the game at which point ONI wants to vivisect him to see the full extent of his augmentations, but he refuses which is what kicks off the whole "traitor" angle.

Did the replace the Promethean Knight with those new dudes? Cause the Knights were actually one of the few new things 343 created that I really liked the look of. Those new guys look like Ultron.

Oh sorry I completely misread your post regarding CoD similarities etc. I thought you were trying to say you thought the scale would all be like that.

I do agree with your actual point though, I imagine that section was chosen to appeal to the majority.

The ADS thing was just a joke though :)

Pretty sure Knights are still in, I think they'll act as hunter style enemies though.

I can do with seeing less of the Knights for Soldiers, personally. Bullet spongy teleporting ass unfun things.

and now I won't run out of ammo against them because of that stupid ordnance drop thing going on in Halo 4

It looks like the vehicle sandbox is exactly the same as Halo 4. I hope there's more than that. Warzone looks cool though.

I was actually disappointed to see the Mantis return, it killed pacing in BTB. Hopefully they changed it up a bit in terms of health, it was also stupid you couldn't board the thing from the front.

You and me both.

In the sizzle real Jem posted, the Knight was labelled a boss. I think Knights might have been upgraded to be more unique enemies while soldiers are the more common enemies.

I'm just talking visually. The Knight design looks more unique and not nearly as busy as the new Soldier (is that their name?) enemy.

Why no chief gameplay?

Because, like told you so. You are playing most of this game as Locke.

Usually a very scripted COD demo opens the MS show.

Copy and paste Halo and voila.

Pity, in the montage there appears to be some interesting ideas and stuff happening, but hiding it behind that awful scripted nonsense is very disappointing. And no Chief?

Minimal expectations set for Halo 5 this E3 and I'm disappointed already.

Agree, that was really bad. It looked like a bad Ghost Recon trailer.
...from 2006.

If you suck at MP you can sneak around the periphery fighting covenant and prometheans and helping fight bosses. And contribute to team scorer, level and weapons and vehicle unlocks

So Titanfall.

Seriously. With ADS and this linear, scripted demo it is CoD now.

Of all the things that 343's made you could like, that's what you decide to latch on to?

Eh not really a fan of what I saw with that Warzone gameplay. Looks far too chaotic and unfocused. Should have literally copied conquest from BF and added the human and covenant vehicles from Halo Wars.

That Weapon Buy menu looks like you get cards for playing warzone with common/rare/etc status to buy, that you can use one time for earned points in a warzone match. This sounds interesting.

So 343i financing free map packs through card packs confirmed?
