Halo 5 Gameplay Demo (E3 2015)

Warzone looks alright. But I have to ask, are we still getting a traditional BTB experience? And by traditional I mean maps similar in size to Blood Gulch, SideWinder and Headlong etc, and no loadouts present.

Yes. More information much later

Warzone enemies vary in difficulty from easy to dark Souls.
 
No I haven't.

Seriously. Back that up.

SMH

It's a publicly traded company and I am obliged to tell the truth about our products. And I absolutely hate being called a LIAR.

Im sorry i just remembered from threads that you denied some stuff a few times and they later come to fruition. Calling you a liar was overboard.

Its just that average policy that until you oficially announce stuff companies just say they dont exist.

If I denied it and it later happened, then it changed. I would have been banned as a shill a long time ago. I have never knowingly lied on Halo gaf, ever. Ever.


So it's pvp as well? 12v12?

Yes. 12 Spartans per team. AI baddies and allies.

Serious question, do you mean easy to Destiny or easy to Dark Souls?

tremendously difficult because they have infinite health.

Regardless, holy shit the new Battle Rifle sounds punchy as all hell! The Age of Ultron Prometheans also have some pretty darn cool animations in that video too. As a huge fan of Invasion from Reach, I feel like this is going to scratch that itch and then some. It's just a shame that this multiplayer match looks to be significantly more dynamic and interesting than the campaign that was shown because as I've gotten older I play less and less multiplayer... I just can't handle 10 year olds whooping my ass and demanding chocolate milk from their moms.

Ok i will keep this in mind from now on, sorry for making you mad

I will say tho then that you may have that reputation in some of gaf because i have read that a lot of times.

Edit : in this page for example you have the same discussion with halo gaf http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?p=151516001
And some of them dont seem to be convinced and they follow halo more than i do, just saying.
 
Ugh, just waited an additional hour for that Halo 5 'in-depth' coverage over on the Xbox stream. Then they just show the exact same thing from the conference.

The campaign is every bit as dynamic and often more so. Demo is a clean, easy to understand slice of a fairly linear and small part of that level.
 
The demo was deliberately a clean linear section to show off a few features. The game is actually more expansive with more possible routes and methods to finish than ever before- and the "scripted" bits, like Locke falling after the EMP bit are there largely for story (as opposed to QTE tasks).

Would have been tricky to demo the more common bits where the squad Divides and conquers. You'll see more of it this year.

Like every other E3 demo? Who would have thought?

Alright, thanks, I'm looking forward to it. Wouldn't be the first time a Halo demo at E3 wasn't representative of the final game.

Halo 2 har har

.... You bastards! Heh, I am eager to know more about traditional BTB. Like if it will also be 12v12 or a little higher... 16v16 since it doesn't have all of the additional AI and character models.

Aint Master Chief the main character? Why are they playing with those people?

You can tell me why, I didn't and I'm not gonna buy Halo 4. So some spoilers would be nice

If 1080p 60fps its quite impressive (if it can improve aliasing )

nice lighting, and a surprising number of particles and other effects and most important of all it looks fun, the enemies are varied and theres those quirky little grunts lol.

I hope there's even bigger scale battle with a ton going on , on screen.

This is new, thanks.

So warzone interview recap:
- 4 times the largest halo map
- boss battles mixed in every so often
- objective is to destroy other team's core or score 1000 points
- everything on dedicated servers
- you start out with enemy AI invading your base, so you have to defend / destroy right off the bat
- 60fps everything

Getting a very slight MOBA feeling from war zone. Sounds awesome.

Im getting that plus a little bit of old school star wars battlefront. Where you fight for territories or to destroy something and your heroes spawn every now and then and you can upgrade your character

I don't know much about Halo, so speaking as an outsider I didn't see anything in the Halo trailer that really made the gameplay interesting, and the story feels like its to the point that I'm too intimidated to jump into it.

Doubt is 1080p they would have said it already.

Nice, missed all but 10 seconds and caught the interview after.

We need a Vidoc release, stat.
 
I'm actually surprised that it has to be explained that this 5 minute demo doesn't represent the entire scope and scale of the full game.

No kidding. And I didn't have a problem with those 5 minutes. I think the concept of Halo 5, with 2 teams, one a rogue chief and the other hunting him down, with something bigger looming sounds pretty compelling. I'm sure they have learned quite a bit from the reaction many had about Halo 4.
