Read exactly same as the claim that the perks in Halo 4 weren't perks because they weren't called perks...

My thoughts exactly. Sure it looked awesome in the trailer but I don't want another Halo to fall prey to some gameplay features than don't really belong in Halo.
Would have worked also if you guys left it out. It was a teaser.

Are these "spartan abilities" like crysis and are there absolutely no armor abilities at all.?

I agree. I'm a very mobile Halo player, so giving the player more mobility options is fine by me
I'm worried about that shockwave ability though... I hope it's just a one-off pick-up.
Made a thread about the new trailer. New threads for new news, this thread is old.

I was sure of this during the conference but it is The Arbiter that is speaking to this new spartan ONI agent about chief: http://youtu.be/jVPjo8uROkw
So the beginning it was the trailer of the campaign of Halo 5 not Halo 2A cutscene this is why it was a CGI cutscene.

I'm thinking some brutal mele attacks, perhaps interfacing with the environment (hacking), a better crouch/cover system and even some traversal would be good for them stealth missions (perhaps hiding in the rafters and drop attacks etc). The new armor has a spec ops feel to it so it would make sense right?
*Edit* I just remembered we're talking about the multiplayer trailer. Oh well, I can dream!
For the love of Cortana....please don't make this like H4 MP
A main reason why people are so hyped for the Master Chief edition is because we will be able to play Halo pre COD4...
Stinkles pls
So this is in the visor, that's arbiter!! Gosh darn it so hype!
What I think halo master chief collection really is, is a simulation for this new mystery spartan to learn about chiefs past exploits and heroics, chief, who has gone rogue after going off to find answers over how to get cortana back and also find out how to stop the prometheans and the not so dead didact, meanwhile the UNSC along with the arbiter are tracking chief down to steal the promethean technologies maybe the didact too, maybe to also save chief from himself as by this point he wouldn't be surprised if he'd lost all humanity.
I'm super stoked imagination is going wild!!

Guess we have to keep in mind how far away the game still is.
Anywho, just catching up on everything now, sure seems like confirmation of a lot of theories. New blue guy who doesn't lift ("agent"? Why not "Spartan"? Interesting) is indeed trying to find MC, and the arbiter is involved. Me still thinking Sanghelios level(s).

I don't feel like it's a test, sure useful data but nothing they don't have 10 years of statistics about already. The collection is really about having an out to go full steam ahead with new ideas for Halo. Anyone who prefers older mechanics or maps etc has everything they could ever want now. It's also about getting all those previous Halo fans who literally built the xbox live subscriber base over the X1, they have every reason to move over now. Any Halo game or map or mechanic they like and 1080p, 60fps with dedis. Honestly it's the best thing to happen to Halo.
I would have loved a new Halo 5 game this year but I'm very pleased to play the collection while we wait for the development and design to polish off Halo 5. Halo 5 is now free from having to please so many audiences, they can simply move in new directions and take what they cherry pick from the older games. Progress and keeping everyone from the past happy too.

Yep from what we saw it only backs up lot of theories we already had.
I wonder if the Agent/Spartan is the same guy that interrogated Halsey
Sure, while I play Halo CE 3 shot pistol and Hang 'em High rockets with my boys from high school. Halo CE online hyped for real.

Not totally new but a little more precise info
Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer won't have Armor Abilities
"Competitive focus, level playing field, map control. Spartan abilities are player mechanics not loadout AAs."
http://www.totalxbox.com/78092/halo-5-guardians-multiplayer-wont-have-armor-abilities/
If it’s true this Halo could be really the true return of the Halo MP awesomeness.

You have to watch Halo: Nightfall to know more about him (comes with the Collection).
Oh, Ok.
I thought he was known before that.
So he is completely new then
Thanks bro

Oh hells yea! Thats the shit i'm talking about. Officially hyped now!
They used perks for Halo 4, and now they will use parkour for Halo 5.
Pretty sure they will try and copy the campaign structure of Destiny too.
Guy will be introduced in the Nightfall series. Dude is black and a badass
Way more mainstream controls.
Think more of Titanfall contextual parkour but taken to a next level.
The sweet spot would be something akin to Halo 2 MP but with a shit ton of contextual actions to "show-off" and help dynamize the fights.
Plus some cloud things (potential AI ennemies/allies in some modes, events happening on the map, etc...)
Nice, sounds great.
It's not info.
But parkour is the shit right now. and for all their sweet speeches, 343i is a me-too studio that has enough funding to sugar coat that truth.
So yeah...expect your Spartan to be way more agile. Just like in the teaser. and the only way 343i will pull it is like Assassin's Creed or Titanfall do it, by using contextual commands so you don't need another hand to control your spartan.
Best case scenario is Halo 2 MP with ninjas and a campaign that encourages to use your newly gained agility to create better opportunities to take down ennemies or discover new places with great vistas.

All Cutscenes in H2A are replaced by CGI Cutscenes made by Blur Studios, so i think the "bring the covenant back their bomb" scene clips are part of the final cutscenes we'll see in H2A
Since the MC Collection will not include firefight i really hope we get it back with Halo 5.
I think its Cortana....if not..its Palmer...
I kid I kid...
I actually reckon its a new protagonist that will get fleshed out in one of the new Halo live action films developed by Spielberg or the other chap.
Imagine...a story of a Spartan with a dark chequered past....
Oh what a genius I am. I called it straight away.
Maybe I'm an insider eh? I already have a better track record than Thuway.
Don't know how you guys feel about that . Do you think That K/D Ratio will presented in H5?
Are you for or against it?
If it's presented, Do You want XP level up by kills?
Isn't it better with XP gained by winning only?
wouldn't that make ppl to cooperate more often to win and not getting busy about K/D ratio?

Wonder what that means "walk in his footsteps"?
I'm hoping it's only the prologue and epilogue and the new cutscenes are not showing Locke witnessing some kind of hologram of the events.
My guess is he has to buy an Xbox One and the Master Chief Collection and pass them all LASO style.

The Chief is missing and needs to be found. There is a specific threat to the galaxy that, apparently, only he can stop. Locke is seeking him out by talking to folks who may have an insight into his whereabouts - the Arbiter in particular suggests Locke re-trace the Chief's movements during the close of the Covenant war.
Arbiter, as we've seen in the post-Halo 3 media, has been staying close to his home planet to help his people rebuild after the war. It hasn't been going too smoothly for him.
That's what I got out of it.

I think the trailer was also focused on introducing Halo MC Collection.

They changed Marlowe to Locke right?
Locke seems like a badass ONI spartan that's however gonna get schooled by the MC.

I don't necessarily think he's helping Agent Locke. When Arby says "I tell you this, not because I trust you, Agent Locke, but because ALL our lives are at stake".
I guess locke sought out the arbiter, and both of them are searching for chief in a way. Somehow their lives are at stake, flood perhaps, maybe even the Didact returns?
Even though he has ties with oni they somehow need to work together to find chief, and face whatever threat comes their way.
Also that non trust line is reminiscent to arby and chiefs relationship and halo 2-3's story arc. They were once separated by misconceptions of one another, and once they found out they share a common goal, they worked together to stop the flood. Even though the prophets misguided the elites, and in this case maybe oni misguided agent locke in to searching for chief for their own reasons.
So i'm sure they will include branching story lines in halo 5, maybe even between three characters. This seems to be a campaign that will be similar to halo's 2,3, and odst put together.
Excellent question.
