Yeah, yeah, 60fps is nice. This Halo reveal feels a little off to me.

The plain fact that they're not labeling it as a fifth entry makes me worried they're about to rocket the series in a new direction. It might need a new flow of gameplay, but I'm worried this is where the road ends for the Halo we once knew. That's okay.

What's not okay is the cloak. Like, what the hell? The genetic modifications and trillion dollar suit just can't compare to classic burlap. I understand. The trailer needed its lid-off moment, but it was stupid.

 

[samurai1226]

i think its really interesting that johns armor is damaged (visor is broken) and he's all alone on this planet, without the unsc.

really cool setting imho, hope it will go a bit back to roots.

i wonder what the cloud feature will be

 

[TheRagnCajun]

Who's developing this one?

 

[Zumblakladla]

343

I want it now.

 

[Gui_PT]

Naa. Every game that does 60fps is trying to go after CoD players. Just look at Forza 5.

Shows how little I know about the industry

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Why is he wearing a cloak on top of Spartan Armor?

Makes no sense.

Yeah, I saw a guy in a cloak, guessed by context it was the Chief... and thought "You've got to be kidding me."

Other than trying to "look cool/dramatic", I'm interested to hear -why-.

 

[Omni]

Love how 60 fps is a thing people announce with games now.

After 5 years of games consistently dipping below 25 fps with screen tearing and other random artefacts, it really is a big deal. For console players anyway.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Announce Halo with a CG trailer makes no sense to me.
That aside I loved the reveal I thought it was Destiny at first.

Halo has had a few CG trailer reveals.

 

[ElFly]

It's good that 60fps is becoming a marketing point.

Sony should learn.

 

[Linconan]

Why is he wearing a robe when he's a supersoldier armored in space robot armor?

THIS

Cool trailer though, but com'on!
LOL

Love to hear the justification for it though,lol. smh

 

[zoukka]

Is this real life? It's better than anything I could've ever wanted out of next gen. An actual, substantial, gameplay enhancing buzzword amidst all the cloud processing and DRM shit.

 

[Erasus]

Only played Halo 1 but always been interested as it seems good.

60fps is great news, hope more games push that.

As zoukka said, 60fps can become a buzzword that means something. We can measure it and see!

 

[MrGreencastle]

Confirmed Halo 5?

Corrinne Yu is the principle engine programmer at 343.

Absolutely. 60fps + dedicated servers are great news.

From the man himself:

He is deliberately masking his appearance. And that is all you're getting.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

WHY THE ACTUAL FUCK!....

Did they not call it Halo One?

That would have been perfect. There is a reason no one clapped when they saw the Halo logo, because no one realised it was a new game until it was told.

 

[Biggzy]

I had no idea that it was a Halo game until the reveal.

 

[Kajiba]

This is Halo 5 right?

Why are they just saying just Halo in the title with no number?

 

[Coolwhip]

I hope MC was wearing sunscreen on his metal armor.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

From the man himself:

Nice to know that some cloth can confuse the shit out of an ancient evil.

 

[Levito]

They do it all the time in film "Rambo" was the title of the 4th Rambo movie etc.

 

[The Lamp]

Well..that was stinking awesome....did not see that coming....Master Chief!!

How in the? What?

The number one thing you can almost *GUARANTEE* at a Microsoft E3 conference is a Halo game being talked about or shown. How could you not see this coming? Lol

 

[MaulerX]

Why does a Spartan Super-soldier need robes?

Maybe he's trying to conceal himself? You don't want your enemies instantly noticing you as you walk around.

 

[Buntabox]

The most underwhelming Halo trailer ever. 3 and 4 had such great teasers. Felt so stale. Like a bad version of the Halo 3 E3 trailer. Chief in a desert. Massive machine.


60FPS sounds pretty promising though.

 

[kitch9]

Nobody bothered about the res?

720p at 60fps is a bit shit?

 

[AstroNut325]

How in the? What?

That's what I'm thinking. MS not having Halo at a conference is something completely impossible.

This is the single biggest reason I'm interested in the Xbone. 60fps Halo is something I've wanted since the first Halo.

I knew Halo would be there ...just didn't see this trailer as Halo until MC hand was revealed...was thinking a Destiny preview or something along those lines. It didn't have that Halo feel from the get go....

 

[Huw_Dawson]

Why does a Spartan Super-soldier need robes?

SHUT UP!

HE'S A DARK ANGEL, OKAY?!

 

[HD-VHS]

So was that whole "new trilogy for 360" stuff a lie or is this not numbered for that reason?

 

[Trey]

Don't have a number on your sequel, people lose their shit.

 

[NullPointer]

So was that whole "new trilogy for 360" stuff a lie or is this not numbered for that reason?

Its the Chief - whatever he does makes it the next big Halo, numbers be damned.

 

[Bombadil]

I wonder how its story will compare with my superior plot.

 

[lilltias]

when master chief appeared I think I had a stroke. that was fucking awesome. so good.

 

[JDHarbs]

There was a little part of me that thought "OMG this might be Halo" as I was watching. The hood didn't look like it was resting on a normal human head. It was too large and flat on the top. Kinda like the top of Chief's helmet. Then his arm came out and I was like o_0

Hope 343 can do better with this one. Halo 4 was a missed opportunity, but it was their first title so I have no problem with giving them a pass on that one. Looks like I've got about a year and a half (guessing Fall of 2014 release) to raise $560. That's gonna suck. :/

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

I know they want to make it feel fresh, but it sounds like they're abandoning the trilogy by not putting 5 on it.

 

[TheCongressman1]

Not getting xbone, so I don't really care. It's sad because Halo is one of my favorite series. Not any more I guess...

 

[RiderKairuu]

I like how they tried to mask the Halo tone of the trailer with the cloak, but it made me think it was Halo game even more.

 

[Kibbles]

Nobody bothered about the res?

720p at 60fps is a bit shit?

Where do you get that it's 720p from?

 

[Demon Ice]

Edit: SHIT, wrong thread. Halo 5, 60 FPS, hooray!

 

[WoolyNinja]

Ugh, wrong thread...

 

[Iced_Eagle]

60 fps? Yesss. Dedicated servers? YESSSSS!

Interesting trailer, but didn't show much. Can't wait to hear more. Going to be a long wait until we get it though.

 

[derFeef]

Corrine Yu called it Halo 5 on twitter, some called it Halo Combat.
What is iiittt.

 

[Ricko Suave]

More to follow.

Confirmed to run at 60fps and dedicated servers.

60 frames per what now?

T6 and TTT2 run at 60fps. Shit, even TTT1 runs at 60fps, and that game came out in 1998.

Oh and not to mention, online TTT2 is pretty stellar.

 

[Xamdou]

Halo 5 running 60 FPS and having dedicated servers, what more can you possible ask for?

 

[Grisby]

Didn't even know it was Halo. Good stuff. Need to go back and rewatch to see what he was holding in his hand.

 

[Biff]

So, I watched the trailer and listened to the comments very carefully after.

I might be looking way too much into this, but nowhere -- not once -- did they explicitly say that it was an Xbox One "exclusive".

There was some text on the screen when the camera pans out to the audience, but even in 720p it's too blurry to make out... Maybe it says it there but if not then maybe we have a megaton on our hands for Sony's conference?

 

[Striker]

Halo 5 running 60 FPS and having dedicated servers, what more can you possible ask for?

Good gameplay.

 

[Grisby]

That looks like Cortana's chip thingy.

Halo 5 and sand tech.

 

[Demon Ice]

Didn't even know it was Halo. Good stuff. Need to go back and rewatch to see what he was holding in his hand.

The computer chip thingy that used to house Cortana.

Edit: Lol yup

 

[Naked Lunch]

Trailer was badass as is Microsoft's push for 60fps gaming.
