The last time I was that hyped for a Halo game it was for Halo 3. Everything release so far about H5 is just great, the beta, the Hunt the truth series, Blue Team, Buck. Stellar job MS and 343. Also these new Banshee are looking great.

 

[Obliterator]

It's s new character named Tanaka.

Ah yeah I still know nothing from the whole Hunt the Truth thing. Still I won't be surprised if Palmer makes an appearance somewhere

 

[The Flash]

So i assume this is the official face of Halo without his iconic helmet?

Nope. That's Buck from ODST.

 

[DopeyFish]

Retired and training S-IV's

pfft and he's considered a spartan

no spartan retires

 

[Nirolak]

So i assume this is the official face of Halo without his iconic helmet?

That's Nathan Fillion as Buck from ODST.

Hopefully nothing resembling the dialog in that game will return.

 

[tootsi666]

effing double post
No idea how this got here

 

[jem0208]

So i assume this is the official face of Halo without his iconic helmet?

Nope, that's Buck.

The Chief is a completely different dude.

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Stinkles.. is the music in the trailer from Halo 5? Or was it made for this promo piece?

 

[The Iron Yuppie]

He has been a S-IV for a while now

......Tell me more

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Hopefully nothing resembling the dialog in that game will return.

LMAO

 

[BuBBeR]

Nathan Fillion in both voice and face? Game just got more awesome!

 

[DopeyFish]

That's Nathan Fillion as Buck from ODST.

Hopefully nothing resembling the dialog in that game will return.

i want another engineer escort run

 

[Diablohead]

where is jun damnit

enjoying life on a remote beach somewhere most likely.

 

[Bornstellar]

It isn't. That's a male. The female is the Red one. She is not Palmer either.

Tanaka is a female.

 

[Elginer]

PLEASE. I BEG, PLEASE DON'T FUCK THIS UP 343.

 

[Euron]

It isn't. That's a male. The female is the Red one. She is not Palmer either.

Phew that's great to hear. Looked a bit similar to this


And any chance we'll see anything regarding the Precursors this game or at least get more info? I've been waiting since 2011 dammit. Probably won't happen but hey at least we'll see more Forerunner stuff.

 

[Kinyou]

BUCK!

cosy.

Why can't everyone have a reasonable looking helmet like the chief? why does everyone feel the need to bolt on 200 gadgets to their helmet?

Remember guys, if you ever get into a firefight with a spartan... shoot their groin.

Yeah, if going by the previous canon they all should look pretty much exactly like the chief, but that obviously doesn't make that much sense for a game. I guess they could say that they had an upgrade since then.

 

[Gestault]

Buck confirmed is totally rocking my world right now.

 

[KevinG]

So stoked for this. Campaign stuff intrigues me much more than the multiplayer ever will.

 

[JayWood2010]

I have to admit that Osiris looks cool, but Blue Team is going to tear them up

 

[Mindwipe]

Given Osiris have been given absolutely awful armour designs (except Buck) and are going up against fan favorite Blue Team, should we assume that Buck swaps sides and everyone else gets horribly murdered?

Because that's what should happen. I'm not sure that's what they're going for.

343's taste in aesthetics still absolutely stinks :-/

 

[Obliterator]

Added for fanboys, but if that happens, it would be 110% fan service.

And I would drink it up like a parched man in a desert.

The idea of seeing Chief, The Arbiter, and Buck all alongside each other gives me a legit fanboy hard on.

I'm sorry but its true

 

[tootsi666]

......Tell me more

Read New Blood

 

[SystemBug]

Nathan Fillion YES

 

[ArchedThunder]

Nathan Fillion in both voice and face? Game just got more awesome!

He was in ODST too.

I'm excited to see how the faces animate.

 

[kahboomkin]

Ok, they got me.
If it means I can play as Linda, I'll buy Halo 5.

 

[Megatron]

.

Nathan Fillian is in Halo 5?

 

[NoLongerALurker]

Holy shit. So much hype.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Nathan Fillion reprising his role as Buck? Dreams really do come true.

 

[neogaffer1]

With the loss of Cortana in Halo 4, Blue Team steps up to interact with Chief, appear in cutscenes, and accept commands from him in single-player.

huh

Tim Longo, creative director of Star Wars: Republic Commando and Tomb Raider has assumed the familiar position of - wait for it - creative director, at 343 Industries.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/08/tomb-raider-republic-commando-creative-director-joins-343-indus/

The squadmate order system allows the player general tactical control over the three NPC squadmates that round out the four-man commando team. The order system resembles a simplified version of the context-based command menus seen in Star Wars Battlefront 1. Many objects in the game environment will highlight when the crosshair is placed over them. The player can then press the use key to issue an order automatically associated with the object; for example, a sealed door may highlight with a synchronized team breach-and-clear command, or a computer console might give have a "slice" (computer hacking) command, while a pile of cargo boxes suitable for a cover position with good vantage may provide a "take up Sniper/Anti-Armor position" command. Where possible, the squadmates will usually take their preferred roles (sniper, demolitions and technical). The player can also order the squad to move to secure any position (wherever the crosshair is pointed), or perform search-and-destroy. Also, there are orders to command the squadmates to group up or spread out according to the player's discretion for the situation.

FUCKIN HYPE

 

[Master Yoshi]

I just literally yelled "FUUCCKKKK" while shaking my phone violently in pure excitement from seeing this images.

Blue team.
Buck.
Oh my fuck.

 

[Kinyou]

I'd love it if you never see the faces of any of the blue team guys.

 

[dancrane212]

huh

FUCKIN HYPE

Oh my god.

 

[Exploratory]

The hype is so real. I literally don't know what to do with myself right now. So many games coming out yet Halo still manages to excite me the most.

 

[EroticSushi]

I'd love it if you never see the faces of any of the blue team guys.

We've already seen faces of everybody on Blue Team besides Chief, who we have a detail description of from the books.

 

[The Flash]

huh

Oh my god. It's Republic Commando 2!

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Halo Republic Commando: Buck Edition.

 

[jelly]

Impressive character models, damn impressive. Look at that hair! Not Locke, he is using Stinkles tech.

Hope 4 player co-op has some good mission structure and objectives.

 

[farisr]

That guy in the OP looks like that one real life dude in that gif where he raises his finger to say something or make a point, but then holds himself back. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Hahaha, this has to be a joke, but in the off chance it's not, it is actually that guy reprising his role from ODST. (Nathan Fillion)

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Holy shit! Are those shots of Buck and Locke in-game models?

 

[Raide]

Impressive character models, damn impressive. Look at that hair!

Hope 4 player co-op has some good mission structure and objectives.

I hope they have some Gears style ones where they split up the co-op team to take different routes and do other objectives.

 

[Prine]

Halo 4 had a great SP, just add some large scale battles and we'll get the perfect halo. Also BUCK!!!!!! So hyped for Monday!

Got those HALO 2 chills, the hype for that was too much for me back then.

 

[Kinyou]

We've already seen faces of everybody on Blue Team besides Chief, who we have a detail description of from the books.

Where did we see them? Movie, comic?

 

[DoubledOgre]

Is that Eva Unit 01 on the cover?

 

[Azzawon]

Gonna make a whole speculation post now. Got nothing much to go off, but could there be a chance that the stupidly expensive collector's edition is a Chief and Blue Team statue?

 

[trembli0s]

Halo Commando 5.

Good God. I cannot wait.

 

[PhatSaqs]

leggooo. Cant wait.

 

[UrbanRats]

Nope. That's Buck from ODST.

That's Nathan Fillion as Buck from ODST.

Hopefully nothing resembling the dialog in that game will return.

Nope, that's Buck.

The Chief is a completely different dude.

I assumed calling Master Chief "Halo" and using the word "Iconic" was enough to point out the joking nature of my post.

Still i wonder if they'll ever show MC's face at this point.
I imagine something like Robocop 1.

 

[jelly]

I hope they have some Gears style ones where they split up the co-op team to take different routes and do other objectives.

Yeah, something like that would be cool. Would be neat to see them battling it out in the distance, seeing Warhogs down belowe while the other team is on higher ground or even Banshees above clearing the path.

 

[abadguy]

Damn this Character Model looks amazing

The way 343i nailed character models in Halo 4 i am not surprised. I wish Dare would be in this game so we can finally see her with a human looking face.

Interesting contrast between the Spartan II's who look like walking Tanks in comparison to the IV's which are far more sleeker. I love the armor design here!
