Posted? No split screen co-op
It's terrible for me. I played all of the campaigns on co-op with my girlfriend. This may be a deal-breaker.

Everything sounds great to me. It's obvious that 343 is putting all their eggs in this one basket.

Bad news folks. Flagnum is back.
Eh, flagnnum isn't a big issue. Not being able to drop the flag and auto pickup are the issues.
Josh Holmes stated over on Team Beyond (Competitive Halo site) that CTF in Halo 5 will be a mix of old and new CTF. It's most likely Flagnum with flag juggling + thrusting ability and (hopefully) no auto-pickup.

Y'know what?
I think 343 are going to try and beat Bungie at their own game..
I'm predicting Persistent public zones as an evolution of Spartan Ops.
Nice to see the sexy image of the totally mansome Canadian doing its deserved round.
This shit sounds like the back of a young adult dystopian novel.

Oh really? Okay, that sounds a bit better then.

It's mentioned that you can command the AI to ressurect a fallen teammate, so it's definitely the Gears of War system and not the oldschool "just wait in cover until your mate is spawning"
GI directly states that you have to ressurect teammates on your own now and that it's not the classic hiding in a safe location until your mates respawn

Some good sounding stuff there. Not sure how I feel about A.I. partners but I'll wait to see the game to judge and given what they're going for in the story, I really want to see it. Still, no mater how good this looks, I refuse to pay full price.

Get her a second console.
You won't need Live for coop, and split-screen sucks anyway. xD
Keep in mind he wasn't specific, just the "mix of old and new" mechanics for CTF. The rest is my guess. Not much else it can be though lol.

Already though about that as 343i mentioned the Infinity as the big HUB for Halo 4. Something like N64 Perfect Dark, where you can walk through a ship and test weapons at a firing range would be so awesome.

I hope that with all these maps they don't get seperated out like they tend to do. 4-5 in small rotation for slayer, 4-5 for an invasionesque gametype, 4-5 for BTB, etc. It made playing Halo 4 get really old very quick when there were only 4 maps in the slayer rotation (initially at least).
That said, I welcome a very large scale BTB on the level of Battlefield. That would be amazing.

All these details sound like the changes and improvements I was looking for in Halo since Halo 3, and they are actually getting me excited about the Halo series again.
I had completely lost all interest in this series after Halo 4 (never even bought the game, I just rented it for the campaign and returned it after beating it in two days), but this has really turned me back around in a big way.
It may even be enough to push me over the edge and finally buy a current gen console, but that also depends on what else Microsoft is showing off and if Sony is able to bring some great stuff too. If MS has Crackdown and a new Banjo or something, I'll be getting an Xbox One as soon as possible.

Crackdown is already on the way.

I dunno, it sounds great dont get me wrong but i definitely get the feeling that MS is getting worried about Halo. Free DLC, and that much of it? When as MS ever done anything like that and with their flagship title?
Im glad its all free, but i hope it pays off for them in the long run. Dont fuck this Halo up MS.

Does anyone have access to the GI issue? I have it (digitally) and it looks like the images they have are in-game models? Looks really good.

Everything there is ingame. They have two first person shots there too. And sadly to me, the game doesnt look that much better than Halo 4.
But maybe the game will sport a way bigger scale, that would explain it. And 60fps of course.

Who knows how high you're standards are though.
This sounds remarkably like the Halo version of Republic Commando.
I might have to buy a XBone now.

I think they look a good bit step up, but I want to see it in motion as that will speak more. The shots of Master Chief and Spartan lock at the beginning of article look well detailed to me.

Has nothing to do with standards when the game barely looks better than the last one. I would post a comparison, but you know, scans etc
And like i said, it will probably look better in motion. A lot of games look "bad" on screens but amazing in motion.

This all sounds great, can't wait to see what it's like at e3.

In your opinion that is. Which is all its going to be until we see scans and or game play.
Game play is a far better indicator then pictures regardless.
