Honestly, I'm surprised people thought otherwise.

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
New Halo 5 teaser - Spartan Locke armor set
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
Honestly, I'm surprised people thought otherwise.
The CGI team did a great job to make the lighting and textures resemble what we saw in the beta. Disappointed Blur wasn't used, though.
343 did hire a Doom 3 art person and it shows from interiors, flood infection etc.
Don't particular care for it that much but I would say Halo Covenant design isn't anything great to begin with. Peaked with Halo 2 and had a nice dark resurgence with Reach but now they are lost between Gears of War, Doom and not very unique future military, the latter was never a great strong point but good fun.

I liked the Halo Reach designs a lot. The Elites looked really great there.

Yes, everyone will have the opportunity to unlock the armor on day one. GameStop preorder bonus only guarantees you have it available from the start.
The trailer was built almost exclusively using in-game assets to keep the look as consistent as possible.

When can we expect to see some of changes youve made after the beta in action? Would like to see a post Beta ViDoc or something. Something that is more indepth

We'll be doing more episodes of The Sprint and showing behind the scenes progress across the game as we get closer to launch. Right now we're heads down on building the game and getting ready for E3.

More Sprints are a good thing. They were really entertaining.

Wow that is awesome to hear. I loved "The sprint". My only complaint was the bigger focus on the pro team in the later episodes. I would like to see more game stuff. Unfinished stuff etc. I love this behind the scenes looks.
I would guess a new season of The Sprint would focus on the campaign. It would be cool if we got one for the build up to E3 and then another season after launch each going over the process of development. I really enjoyed the first one though.

I agree, really enjoyed the sprints.
Glad about the armor availability. Best Buy is throwing money away with gamers club and who am I to not exploit that.

i dont like this trailer. the whole art style just seems off and the colour tones are very dark. halo is supposed to be bright and colourful and i was hoping with the start of new trilogy covenant would finally fuck off but nope here they are again for the gazillion for fuckin time.

I'm sure there will be a dramatic trailer with more traditional style as we near the game's release.
Would be great if you folks could go deeper into engine upgrades and comparisons to Halo 4.
Quoting this one more time because fucking awesome. Hope we get one set based on the multiplayer side post beta, and one for campaign.

Looks like it. Anyways, I hope there is a nice release schedule planned for seeing the game going forward. Having the Hunt The Truth stuff each Sunday night is pretty rad and this random trailer drop was cool but I want more!

Ground pounding a Banshee or Hornet out of the air? Yes please!
