My guess is that they will need to be revived and if you don't get to them in time, they will die and then spawn at the next checkpoint or when the area is safe.

Eeeeyup.
You say that like it's a bad thing, lol.
Real talk: the new designs make a lot more sense than the old ones. The "undersuit" is pretty armored in and of itself, and since the plating only really exists at this point to back up the shields, emphasizing flexibility makes good design sense.
Aura of exclusivity?
I dunno.

He's not married so it might be more preferable to just get rid of the girlfriend?
I joke, but you know something to think about...

I have this disconnect with the premise of Master Chief being hunted by Locke and his group of Spartan IV, where I see them having a lot of trouble just to kill him.
And then it's just not Master Chief, but Blue team too.
They're gonna have to set up Locke's team really good (besides Buck) because right now it's not believable for me that they can be a threat.

1. Already clarified my point twice, but you still quoted the poorly worded one.
2. I'm 100% sure it was. It was in the same context, when they said how cheecky Spartan 4's are. Wether it was in a ViDoc, in a Spartan 4 description text or somewhere else I can't remember. Not sure what the exact wording was, but there was definitely a comparison and I'm still searching for the exact source.

The display Locke put on in that trailer already did that for me. The skill he displayed there was pretty damn ridiculous. At first I was kind of iffy with this as well, but after seeing that trailer I was pretty sold on them being a legit threat. Not that it even matters I suppose considering they're going to be a legit threat regardless due to the mere fact that they're playable characters.
There may have been a comparison, but I'm damn sure it was never said it would take 10 Spartan IV's to take down one Spartan II. The only comparison made between the two thus far is that a IV in GEN 2 is equal to a II in GEN 1. If both are out of armor and fight then the II wins. That's the only comparison that's been made.
Where did they say that?

I think they can solve this by turning revive off on legendary
And I'm damn sure that I read those words.
I'm pretty sure we're going to be seeing some cool places.
There's that piece of concept art showing a massive war in what looks like a Forerunner planet. In the GI video they also talk about a "galactic scale story" where you can "go to different locations around the galaxy" and see locations that have never been seen before.

Then provide a source. Until you do that I'm not in anyway taking those words at face value because I've been keeping up with Halo for years and not once have I seen that said nor would it in anyway make sense. 10 Spartan IV's would utterly annihilate any lone Spartan II. A single Spartan II may be better than a single Spartan IV, but they're certainly not so much better where they can take on 10 IV's at once and win.
Yea, not in anyway buying that claim as legit.
I do love a snowy level, turn the wind and enviromental sounds up 343. Adds a lot.
Don't care about Forerunner planets - I want to return a Halo!
Snowy levels are the best, in my opinion.

Odds are pretty good, if we visit a glassed planet for example. Hope we do, because snow levels are indeed pretty good.
Really don't care if you buy it, because I know that I read it somewhere. I'll try to find it, but I'm not wasting hours for it.
Also, you keep going on about them fighting in suits. Who even mentioned that 10 vs 1 thing being in suits? I certainly didn't, because I was (and still am) unsure about the exact wording.
lol, my post from 2013:
Manpadamus
Damn, you were spot on lol. How did you even remember about your post.
Speaking of which, it would be great for Halo 5 to be an intergalactic journey where we visit a bunch of unique locations and planets.
I though that was already confirmed in the Game Informer thing?

If you don't provide a source for a claim then it's not valid. Could care less if you know you read it somewhere. I can say I know I saw an alien last night. Doesn't mean a thing without proof. Don't make the claim if you can't back it up.
10 vs 1 is lopsided regardless of whether they're in or out of armor. This isn't a Spartan vs 10 normal unaugmented Humans. It's 10 augmented Spartans vs 1 augmented Spartan.

You and me both. The look of Halo 3 levels were perfect. Valhalla, Snowbound, Sandtrap, Guardian, Heretic, Standoff, Avalanche, and on and on.
But as we've seem with Halo 4, H2A and now Halo 5, 343 prefers a grittier look with more tint and lighting filters. You'll rarely see rainbows of color and bright open levels. Even their Regret remix was far too yellow and washed out for my taste.

It was confirmed by Josh Holmes on waypoint after the beta

It seems like 343 can't decide whether Fred and Locke should have a scope on their DMR/BR or not lol. They've appeared with a scope and without one.
I didn't see it listed in the OP and haven't read the magazine yet.
because i really wanted (and still want) that to happen after reading the books
Me too! It made me really excited for the game.
Yes, give me colors and bright open levels! Halo 4 was a bit too dreary for me.

Wow, that's awesome.lol, my post from 2013:

It's in the Game Informer video. Josh mentions it arround 11 seconds:

A "preorder now" button will probably pop up during the E3 live stream on the XLEi app.
Thanks.
Post view edit: Awesome that Josh confirms it and what is the music that plays at the end? Is it new? Is it by Kazuma Jinnouchi, because 117 has to be one of my favorite tracks from any Halo.

i like how the new spartans don't have numbers, shows how non-OG they are!

Fred helmet looks like garbage. I wish Blue Team was a mix of original Mark V/Mark VI designs. The classic Halo look as opposed to what they've become. I don't get 343 though. In Hunt the Truth, they show the original Mark VI look of Chief, do the same for H2A, but then no one else wears it, and they don't explain why Chief has his armor changed etc. And half the time they show Chief as always having had this Mark VI gen2 design etc.

Super hyped for this game. It sounds like an awesome leap forward for Halo.

Why is master chief the only army green spartan in the world of halo? why does everyone else have fruity bright colours?
Why does everyone apart from chief and buck have shitty helmet designs?
I also dislike the bare exposed waist design of the suit, all that tank armor yet their organs are exposed.

I dunno...locke's helmet looks awesome
Chief looks that way for the single reason that he always looked that way...since we never see the man that is his appearance and they can't change it too much. Same reason that buck is getting the recon helmet...callback to him as an odst

I have been looking for this answer as well. Outside the games i know little of the cannon, but seeing the excitement here it has me wanting to catch up. The blue team leader thing is what has me confused with his green color. Was he always green?
Edit: Well i guess my ignorance of thinking red team is all red and blue team is all blue is wrong as i just realized from the pics above lol

Not a fan of the color they gave Fred's armor. In the GI digital issue it looked almost baby blue in a few of the pics. The color was far better in Escalation, H2A terminals, and the Halo 5 cover art.
Love the sleek designs of the armor for Fireteam Osiris, especially Locke, Tanaka, and Buck.

Spartan fist fighting in Halo 5 confirmed. Please be true.
So I wasn't going crazy. Thanks Stinkles.
Do you know where this was described? Had to do something with Spartan 4's attitude/behaviour, iirc.
Because we can explain complex nuanced things in print that would be lost, distorted or deliberately misrepresented from e3 chaos. And GI doesn't have any of the E3 materials so you will get to double dip on fresh info.
