Yeah me too. It would be better if they make it symmetrical.

Locke on the left. Main character confirmed.

I suppose the dumb thing in the background with the floaty bits means that the promeatheans are returning. Great...
Even if they make it so that the promeatheans are more than just bullet sponges, they are some of the most uninspired looking characters in gaming.
I thought I hated the flood, until Halo 5 was made and had these completely uninteresting creatures. The promeatheans make me miss the good ol' days when all we had to bitch about were the shitty flood levels.
To top it off, the promeatheans look almost exactly like one of the equally shitty Destiny enemies. I think they were called the Fallen or some shit... I can't remember because it's been months since I've touched that game. The people that still play it are all involved in some gambling addiction study, right?

Chief is still the main protagonist or is it like 50/50 with Locke now?
Your guess is as good as anyone's. Nobody really knows.

Reminds me of WrestleMania 28's poster, even down to the blue on the left, orange on the right colors.

Yep!
I will need to re check ghost of onyx ending, parts of first strike to see who's left.. For some reason, I want to say Fred, Linda and that one dude who trained the Spartans 2s or 3s with more animalistic instincts to help increase there survivability in combat...

Chief is the Rock?
I approve.
Though I've heard bad things about lolCenawins from WrassleGAF.
Fred, Linda, and Kelly are still around (and on the poster). Kurt's dead, James is probably dead, Sam is definitely dead. Most of the others as well.
Only if nightfall was of better quality, maybe people would have cared more.. I mean forward unto dawn far better at re-linking char and with cinematics (felt less forced)

Rock won at WM28, if that makes you feel better.

Oh wow they're actually bringing back the original Spartans from the books that weren't killed off? That's pretty cool, I remember reading Fall of Reach and First Strike and being disappointed that they never ended up in any of the games.
Yeah, if chief has Fred linda and Kelly combo = win. I thought Kelly was badly wounded from plasma burns and in cryo? I remember Halsey taking one of them with her in first strike.

Good to hear!
Fred and Linda kept working for the UNSC, Kelly got abducted/saved by Halsey, but they reunited later.

I actually think it looks pretty great overall, but I still think the pre-order bonus poster would've made for a really nice box art.
Limited edition. DUH!

Looking pretty great.
However people talking shit about Locke should be happy that 343 is at least trying something different. It's that same mentality that relegated the Arbiter to a measly player 2 option in Halo 3 (which I'll never forgive Bungie for). It'd be easy to exploit nostalgia and make every game Master Chief shooting covenant, but they're trying to do something different with the story. Obviously you won't have the emotional attachment that you do with Chief, but that's kinda how new characters work.

So I think it's pretty cool that Blue team are finally making their way into the games but I wonder how they are going to introduce them for non-book readers. Chief already has an extensive history with this crew... so that seems like a fairly significant challenge from a storytelling perspective.

what exactly is that giant alien thing in the middle?

Hey, haven't seen you and your constant negativity for a while, welcome back.
On the covert art, I like the design much better than the previous. Very interested to see what's coming at E3.

Wants to outlaw technological innovation.
I don't think the face up really works, since it's a character basically coming out of nowhere to face off against MC. If Locke was a character in the earlier Halo games, it might actually mean something.
They've already had nearly two and a half hours to establish this character.
He's not new.

They'll probably give the ground-level overview in the next few weeks, with more at E3. Should be enough to at least prime the stage.
OR...something that I've been waitng for since Perfect Dark. 4 player co-op, but also 4 player COUNTER-OP! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think I like the place holder one on Amazon more :/

Holy shit I'm probably the last one to notice this (especially since it was the Halo 5 Beta art on twitch) but I see Locke's helmet in the right of Chief's helmet. Wow that's dope.
