I actually liked 4s armor the best. It looks like the walking tank it's supposed to be, not some fancy iron man suit.

I've definitely warmed up to the redesign since it was revealed. Looks a lot more what a super soldier type Spartan should look like.
This was pretty much my only issue with it. Would have made a hell of a lot more sense than nanobots (???) or whatever.

I would have liked it more if cheif started 4 with 3s armour then upgraded on the infinity. Instead we got lots of confusion.I actually liked 4s armor the best. It looks like the walking tank it's supposed to be, not some fancy iron man suit.
I'm having a hard time picturing an all new engine. Don't want to say it, but will it "feel like Halo". It's crazy, the last generational Halo leap was going from Halo 2 to Halo 3. Now we're going from Reach/4, to Halo 5: Guardians.
Hopefully the folks at 343 are making ViDoc's to describe and show all the cool new stuff.

I agree with this. There were some bland parts of Halo 4 in the middle, but the story between Master Chief and Cortana was beautifully told. I am really hoping to get some kind of conclusion to that in Halo 5.

Nice. Almost or all from scratch.
I wonder if Halo 2 Anniversary is using said engine or sticking with the same (most likely the latter). And yes, I know you cannot answer that.

I still have a problem with it being a bit to top heavy, I think it could use more armor on the chest and abdomen but I do like the sense of machinery it has.

They should have used Jotun Drygolin when they painted the armor.

I was just killing some time and watching last years E3. And hollyshit, didn't anyone notice this
@1:20:33 this is what she said during Halo reveal

"In 2014 Halo Combat will truly Evolve and your journey with Halo on Xbox One begins"
So this was the plan all along.

I could spend all day talking shit on Halo 4, but they nailed Chief's armor. It looks awesome.
Uhh... What was the plan?

Agreed, Halo 4's armor looks bad fing ass

Halo 5 was never meant to release in 2014 as lot of people speculated. And people think now its delayed. It was always scheduled to release in 2015, and the journey for Halo 5 begins this Fall with the release of Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 4 on Xbox One. To get people on board for Halo 5.

I was never really a fan of the H4 armour and I can't say I've warmed up to it. Looked less like a natural progression and more of a knockoff attempt; it just looked like an undersuit with bits of armour attached. Sparse in spots, overdone in others. It lacked the consistency of the previous armours and I just could not get over the floating shoulder pads.

I'm sure it will feel like Halo, seeing what 343 did with Halo 4. And if they can do that magic on the now dismal performing hardware in the 360, I'm practically salivating wondering what it will look like with 8 gigs of RAM, GCN graphics chip, much more modern and capable processor, etc.

Beta? One year before the actual release date? lol why would they do such a thing. We won't get Beta until after 2015 E3.

The rumor said the beta is this Dec. Also after e3 will be kind of late. If anything early 2015.
What was hinted at exactly?

Halo 2 and 3 armor are the same pretty much,how can you like one and not the other? lol.

It's supposed to be long, We can assume from a recent post that they had some kind of MP tournament in house and a year before release means that this beta will be an actual beta and not a server test bed. Player feedback has an actual chance of altering MP in some meaningful way if it's early enough.

A) So that the input they receive can actually be taken in and implemented.
B) To show that they learned from their mistakes and have made Halo 5 multiplayer "an actual Halo experience".**
**assuming they are confident they have done such.
NTKRNL said beta in December with 6-8 maps. I don't think it will be that many maps but he has been right about a lot.
I don't have the twitter link but the developer was hyping multiplayer saying its insane.

Yeah what? Halo 2 and 3 armor look damn near identical.

Speaking of armor, I really hope the spartans in multiplayer don't look like play doh and the visors are actually reflective again.

Ha Ha yeah, when Phil Spencer was interviewed at E3, he warned that the trailer was not exactly the trailer for the next Halo game coming to Xb1, it was just a "thought piece" put together by 343 to reflect on where master chief was in his journey after Halo 4.

So it sounds like it will be Master Chief war collection and this basically confirms that it will be at 60fps as well.
This this this. I still think Halo 3's armor looked so much better than in Halo 4. It all just seemed a bit more detailed, had better lighting and like you said, the visors looked great.
Come to think of it Halo 3 had some of the best lighting of last gen, just looked so natural and clean.

So good.
Ugh,
fix the shoulder pads, actual shoulders and crotch then shrink the "backpack" and you would have a pretty good armor.
That shoulder to chest to head ratio just doesn't work.
weirdly the little we have seen of Chief in 5 looks better somehow.

Have we started with the "Chief dies in this" theories yet?

Dam we feel the same way. One thing i would add to that is the chest armor, it looks like strips. I prefer something more "full" looking. The space diaper doesn't connect either which looks weird. btw isn't the Halo 5 armor the exact same? I mean i don't know if its an actual model from Halo 5 or maybe a place holder from Halo 4.
And they said the new MC is a he... though that could be the AI give what Halo 4 was about Cortana not Chief when you think about it.
It's not, but thanks for playing!

What do you mean "reflective again". They have never been reflective. Unless you are talking about the cube map which is in every Halo game I believe.

It's funny, I bet this is a polygon target more than being specifically designed with simple panels.
No, he has to mentor the new guy into the next game first
Never ever shrink the backpack anymore. It is supposed to contain microfusion generator, there is a logical minimum size for it. Halo 2/3 armor had way too little backpack (though their armor was otherwise better than Halo CE armor). Halo 4 Chief's armor rendition is perfect.

I don't know, they just don't look right.

It doesn't look like it's made out of glass, there's a plastic look to it.

The legs are great, the upper chest and helmet is great and even the lower arms are good. The floating codpiece and buttplate just look a little weird hanging there.
The shoulder pads already look silly but then you add in the tiny actual shoulder and it ruins the entire suit for me.
proportion is the same reason I dislike the Arkham Batman models.
He is probably the same but in that artwork his shoulder pads look way bigger which helps the design.
Might just be that angle though.

I figured he mentored him in this game and then kick the bucket near the end.

You're talking about this
It's still in just the new visors are a much different colour.
Halo 3 actually had some "realtime" reflection visors features that got cut. IIRC they had it planned as far back as Halo 2 but it's resource heavy.
Some random 343 dude tweeted something to the effect of "can't wait to show you guys MP, it will blow you away"
I personally can't wait to be told next to nothing and learn the sad truth from shaky cam convention footage and/or barns.

This would be great, though I don't know any recent game in mind that did something like this.

Planetside 2 was in beta for a long time. Public Alphas and Beta's of many online titles are happening right now. It's relatively unknown for consoles, I think CoD4 and Reach may have been the last beta's that shipped with the game still in some changeable state.
Betas these days on consoles are glorified timed demo's or server tests. Real beta's are about squashing problems and adjusting based on player feedback. Microsoft don't really need server testing now with the cloud servers.
I can't wait till the next barn blowout. I'm on the edge of my seat.
