An interesting detail someone noticed on Reddit:

http://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/396d1n/game_informer_july_cover_halo_5/cs0pnq0

Hot.

Btw, anyone remember the game Section 8 where you drop from the sky to spawn? That image of Locke's Fireteam Osiris dropping reminds me of that. Would be excited if that is the spawn mechanic in one of BTB's game modes considering you are playing with Spartan IVs.

 

[godhandiscen]

Well then you also have the first appearance of Benjamin Giraud.

Yep.

 

[jem0208]

When does the magazine come out?

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

When does the magazine come out?

In some hours for Digital Subscribers.

 

[soul creator]

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

Nah, that's a picture of Metroid without his helmet

 

[ArchedThunder]

The port begging never ends. But honestly do you really want 343i working on a PC version and Xbox One version after MCC?

343 didn't even make MCC...

 

[jelly]

I wonder if thrusters work under water ?

 

[belushy]

Please make skydiving game play, not a cutscene. Imagine landing were you want then kicking arse. Oh yes. Hope BTB is like that as well.

Section 8 style spawning? I could dig that.

 

[Dabanton]

So do people think Halo 5 will open the show next week? Would be a great statement.

 

[16BitNova]

With rumors going around that there will be a Battlefield type multiplayer mode, I can totally see this as a tease shot of this. Which gets me moist.

 

[Raide]

Please make skydiving game play, not a cutscene. Imagine landing were you want then kicking arse. Oh yes. Hope BTB is like that as well.

Yeah, I want pure gameplay of the great action bits. Hate when they drag cool stuff out for a cut-scene.

I am hoping this new mode is BTB reimagined. I want to see jumping out of vehicles and cratering into the ground.

 

[BeforeU]

Everything is in engine, as will everything we show at E3.

Give me give me give me

 

[The Flash]

Is that Drake?

Yes. He's taking a break from rap and is now pursuing a career in video game mo-cap.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

shits gon look sick at 900p/60 fps

 

[Wishmaster92]

Everything is in engine, as will everything we show at E3.

YASS!

 

[TheXbox]

What a terrific cast. I don't think I've been this stoked about a Halo crew since ODST.

Any theories about the planet on the mag cover? Sangheilios?

 

[Pez]

I have to say, Nathan Fillion's hair looks fantastic.

Best part of the reveal.

Damn good hair. Box quote.

 

[shinobi602]

I'm legitimately nerding the FUCK OUT right now. Those character models, Buck, Chief, Blue Team, issuing commands in campaign, fucking BLUE TEAM...

I can't....

 

[abadguy]

Pls be like Republic Commando. pls.

Now I hope the entire teams makes it to the end.

Be cool if all the Spartans are forced to team up against a fiercer foe, in a huge battle in the end, Along with Arbiter and his warriors.

 

[Officerrob]

My interest in Halo has decreased over the years, but I LOVED Republic Commando

 

[Glass]

Please make skydiving game play, not a cutscene. Imagine landing were you want then kicking arse. Oh yes. Hope BTB is like that as well.

Would be a nice throwback to the start of ODST, dropping onto Earth. Which I guess was a mixture of cutscene and gameplay.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

yooooo Buck. where's the Rookie at?

 

[ThatStupidLion]

wow nathan fillion. thats just. weird.

i really dont know how much i like seeing real actors looks used in my games.

 

[Gabotron ES]

Fireteam Osiris looks amazing!

They look awesome!

 

[Dabanton]

Is that Drake?

Yeah he heard Sony's lineup was 'sparse' this year and jumped ship.

 

[Johnohno]

I'm legitimately nerding the FUCK OUT right now. Those character models, Buck, Chief, Blue Team, issuing commands in campaign, fucking BLUE TEAM...

I can't....

This. So much this.

 

[Bsigg12]

wow nathan fillion. thats just. weird.

Why? He was in ODST.

 

[CalamityPixel]

yooooo Buck. where's the Rookie at?

Umm, heavy major spoilers for the new Halo book so read at your own risk.

Spoiler

The Rookie is killed

 

[Master Yoshi]

That's Nathan Fillion as Buck from ODST.

Hopefully nothing resembling the dialog in that game will return.

You know the music... Time to dance!

 

[Moa]

yooooo Buck. where's the Rookie at?

I'm so sorry.

 

[keit4]

Damn, i'm hyped. I really want to play some Halo now.

 

[Jarmel]

Those facial character models might be the best case I've ever seen in a videogame.

That Nathan Fillion model is phenomenal.

 

[Random17]

yooooo Buck. where's the Rookie at?

Major Spoilers

Spoiler

Dead..........

 

[Akai__]

wow nathan fillion. thats just. weird.

i really dont know how much i like seeing real actors looks used in my games.

Real actors like Nathan Fillion from ODST and Mike Colter from Halo 5? Why is that bothering you?

343 didn't even make MCC...

Yeah, it was my Grandma making the game and that's why it was so broken...

Why are people still saying this? They have written a full apology and taken full responsibility.

 

[El_Chino]

Fireteam Osiris looks amazing!

I can't say I'm digging the female spartan, the armor doesn't look like "Halo"

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Lets. Go.

 

[tootsi666]

yooooo Buck. where's the Rookie at?

Lying in a grave

I can't....

Same here, the campaign got me hyped as fuck right now.

Doesn't help that I really liked the beta... sooo uhhhh

 

[singhr1]

If anyone is wondering how some of us are thinking spawning might be, this is Section 8:

Anyone from the UK have any idea how to subscribe to Gameinformer?

I'm just told constantly by PayPal that Gameinformer don't accept non-US accounts and Gamestop just gives me an error.

Their website says non-US people can sign up and subscribe but that doesn't seem to be the case.

 

[Zedox]

I'm telling you...the new mode that they will have is COUNTER-OP from Perfect Dark.

You read it here first!

 

[Master Yoshi]

I can't....

Don't forget the Arbiter will also likely play an important role in this game. Some of the campaign will take place on Sanghelios, and he's already been shown in Halo 2 Anniversary's new cutscenes hinting towards Halo 5. He's also in new Halo 5 Mega Bloks merch.

 

[abadguy]

Don't know man, just can't trust 343 after Halo 4. The shit with Chief being hunted and a traitor sounds so bad. That said i will buy the game but i think i probably won't like this new Halo that 343 is creating

You should listen to Hunt The Truth.

Why? He was in ODST.

And Reach.

 

[Courage]

That looks absolutely fantastic.

 

[RdN]

Character models look great.

I'm specially happy that Blue Team are coop characters, meaning that 343i can't kill them off in their first on screen appearance.

 

[TI82]

Is that Nathan Fillion? Nice

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Gat damn! Those faces! Can't wait to get more campaign details.

 

[Raide]

Hrmm...that would be pretty cool to see players drop in. It was fun in section 8 but I would like to see some more variation.

Is that good ?

 

[Haunted]

Nathan Fillion so hot right now
