Blue Team did not even fire a shot at the enemy to neutralize them...
That is how badass they are.

I don't know if I missed it, what is This grenade here? It's perty.

I dont believe that it will be most of the time 1080p. Maybe when you look into the sky or ground.
But so far the game looks good. They even polished up some of the explosion effects. Looks way better than before.
Final Verdict

Yeah, they said a while back that there are 7 unique pallets they are using, so I guess that means
1.) Mechanical/Human spaces
2.) Desert Canyon
3.) Snowy spaces
4.) Lava/volcano place
5.) Forerunner Architecture
6.) Sanghellios City
7.) Jungle/forest level
At least I think that is a good guess to the variety we will see in the campaign hopefully.
I would really love to see an underwater level though personally. (sort of like Fathom map)
The music in the Blue Team cinematic... I'm tingling all over . And how are we on page 5 without this being gif'd yet?
Good luck with that shotgun yo

The Blue Team intro is superb. I have wanted a game with Blue Team before Halo 2 even came out. This is practically my dream Halo game at this point.

Okay, that blue team cinematic is fucking lovely. I hate that I'm heading out today.

Forget where I read about it, but Fathom is a spot in campaign I believe.

They are speaking as much as they always did in the books. That's the way it should be.

Just look at the freaking portal! It has teeth, TEETH!
Dayum. Always did want to see Sanghelios in-game. I hope a decent chunk is there. They also said more exporables than ever, which is great, I also always wanted to stop shooting for a bit and explore alien worlds.

I like it. I like it a lot. I am actually glad the Covi weapons look like something i want to pick up rather than just kind of looking a little lame. Sometimes in previous halo games they were lacking something in the look and feel department. Some of them were. But it looks like in Halo 5 they are guns id want to pick up and use.
The game play looked solid overall and i like the bigger environments. More room to maneuver and such and i cant wait for vehicle levels. Hopefully we get something akin to AOTCR.
That Kraken take down was a little bit of a let down but we havent seen the full level some i am sure its trying to kill you are you go through the environment.

I really hope they have some big CGI movie at the beginning of the game that explains stuff between H4 and H5.
The campaign looks really good, the game looks smooth and that's great because it isn't a looker at all, the level design of the game looks better than it was in Halo 4, it's a good call because Halo was well known for that...
I already preorder it and I clearly won't cancel it !!! can't wait to play, i'm ready for more multiplayer content though.

http://news.xbox.com/media has the Direct Feed intro for Blue Team. You can watch it there, too.
Here's a downlaod link.

Liked what I saw, but why oh why do they always have the reviews/ gameplay done by people who look like they have never played a fps shooter. I mean its terrible seeing a guy miss with half of his assualt rifle or pistol clip to kill a grunt/enemy.
Chiefs teams cinematic entry was more ninja/surprise entrance. Was expecting it to be of a more epic scale like Lockes entrance was with his team.
I did find it odd that Fred referred to master chief as chief... In the books Fred always called him John. Grr. 343i should not be catering to the people who do not know who John-117 is aka MC. Besides that I am very content with my Digital LE preorder.

Yep. And the anti aliasing has been improved over E3 as well, even though i definitely still spotted some nasty jaggies in one of the footage on Youtube, it was the 30fps one.

In the E3 campaign video, dialogue mentions or hints at the previous level taking place under the water I believe.

Seeing Cheif brutalize the Grunts in takedowns is somehow different than shooting them in the face. They're just a brainwashed near-slave race, man 
On the other hand, cooool
What I like the most about the Blue Team Trailer was that Chief was front and center, the leader of the group, they moved on command and as a team, they got to their objective together, without rash behavior or bravado. Also, there was the respect and family present in the tone of the dialog.
With Fireteam Osiris, Locke's team is all over the place. The spartans are disconnected from each other, they jump at different times, attack in chaotic patterns and unleash hell with all their powers. Even during the jump, you see their shields go off, getting hit by debris, detailing how insane the insertion is. It seems to work and is effective but doesn't seem cohesive.

So the Kraken just falls down an obscured hole and we only see some lighting? Seems they really didn't want yet another Lich explosion.

Hmmm. I don't know if I like the heavy focus on co-op, or the way that looks yet. But we'll see.

They said the AI was often better than friends, so we'll see. Maybe you won't need friends

It is totally the opposite. In these videos / previews, our ally AIs look dumb.

I have heard so much mixed stuff on the difficulty setting, one person says easy and the others say normal or even heroic.
I caved in and saw most of the Enemy Lines gameplay and Prometheans seem a lot more frantic and fun to fight, courtesy due to the Soldiers.

2 things;
1- Still fighting myself if i should watch them or wait until the game comes out. However, i did watch the quick preview on IGN via youtube and seen that glorious 60fps in-action. mmmmm
2 - I kind of find it weird the one who has the most bad to say about 343 is the one who posts us new info first? i'd think they would avoid what they don't like, but anywho, Thanks for all the links Jumperz! I'll probably dive in them all later today when i cant resist LOL

They aren't really all that spoilery and I caved in myself, just wanted to see campaign gameplay in glory. However..
The 'Enemy Lines' mission seems to be the 10th or even 11th mission in the game, I would have rather not know this to be fair.
