FUCKIN HYPE

This has been a dream of mine since playing Republic Commando.

 

[DopeyFish]

so i'm guessing the spartan on the left on team osiris is romeo?

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Words can't describe what I'm feeling right now. Giving commands to Blue Team... OH GOD YES!!

THOSE CHARACTER MODELS..

 

[daedalius]

Hype is real

and Buck looks amazing

Was really hoping we'd see him after I read New Blood

 

[shinobi602]

 

[solis74]

DAFUCKKKKKKK!!!!

Just take my money 343i, take it all!!!!!!

 

[Glass]

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

I wouldn't be surprised if they were the in engine, cut scene models. Consider how amazing Halo 4 looked on the 360 3 years ago.

LOVE how now we don't have Cortana, we have Blue Team. Whoever came up with that idea, rather then pairing us with just another AI, has single handily made so many fans hype levels soar.

FUCKIN HYPE

Has hype kill someone before?

 

[EroticSushi]

Where did we see them? Movie, comic?

They're in the Escalation comics together. Takes place after Halo 4 and they help take down the Didact again. The art is pretty poor in most of them but it's there.

 

[E92 M3]

Wait a second....Blue Team is a big part of Halo 5?! I'm fucking in.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Nathan Fillian is in Halo 5?

[NippleViking]

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 :-/

It's no Reach armour design, but looking at it again the contrast in styles between the Blue Team plus Buck and the Spartan 4s is a nice aesthetic choice; you can tell immediately who's new-school by the curvaceous & smooth trend, and who's OG by the more rigid sets. Hopefully there's still enough love and attention paid to the worn rugged armour-sets.

 

[Broadbandito]

SO FUCKING HYPED

 

[Valor]

Also, Buck confirmed.

Day one purchase. I'm actually feeling parts of myself fading away from the overwhelming amount of hype coursing through my veins. This body cannot withstand so much hype.

 

[Azzurri]

Looks exactly like Nathan Fillian

 

[Bsigg12]

I need my digital copy of the magazine to go live! I must read this.

 

[TomShoe]

Who is this Buck person

 

[belushy]

Agreed. I'm a lot more hyped for this games campaign now. Republic commando style is a very interesting route to take. If that is actually what it is. Co-op should be amazing.

 

[Blanquito]

No one on the first page said anything about Nathan Fillian? Disappointed, Gaf, disappointed.

 

[KYZR]

I GET TO PLAY AS JAIME LANNISTER


GOTF

 

[therealminime]

Character models sure have come a long way in 6 years.

 

[tootsi666]

so i'm guessing the spartan on the left on team osiris is romeo?

Probably Tanaka

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Never was into Halo but is that Nathan Fillion?!

 

[The Flash]

Looks exactly like Nathan Fillian

It is Nathan Fillion

Who is this Buck person

He's one of the main characters from Halo 3: ODST.

Never was into Halo but is that Nathan Fillion?!

Swamp Ass

 

[Skiptastic]

Holy shit those character models look amazing.

I'm excited about this one!

 

[singhr1]

I think my favorite part of today's news is the increased emphasis on exploration and seeing more locations. Most Halo games were restricted to a single space/planet. Exploring more parts of the vast universe truly allows us to contextualize that these are large conflicts

 

[Metalingus5150]

BUCK!! WOO HOO!!

 

[Summer Haze]

Hype is real

and Buck looks amazing

Was really hoping we'd see him after I read New Blood

His face reminds me of the faces in L.A Noire, but better looking.

 

[John Bender]

Nathan Fillion in Halo 5? Nice!

 

[DudeWithNoName]

I wish I could fast forward my life until October.

Holy crap its October??

 

[LtOrange]

I have been excited since the incredible multiplayer beta and now they give me Blue Team. I wish I could keep my expectations in check, but I'm at maximum hype over here.

 

[E92 M3]

All I need to know is if we will return a Halo.

 

[Stinkles]

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

 

[Mufc1427]

Man, Buck surely is looking hot these days.

 

[Azzurri]

It is Nathan Fillion



He's one of the main characters from Halo 3: ODST.



Swamp Ass

That explains it.

 

[Pooya]

Who is this Buck person

Halo 3 ODST squad leader. played by actor Nathan Fillion.


----

the model is impressive, real time even. cool.

 

[DopeyFish]

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

please tell me you guys have a trailer this time

there was never a true trailer for halo 4 (outside of the CG announcement trailer)

 

[jem0208]

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

 

[LegalEagleMike]

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

That is why I watch E3 right there.

The official Halo comic screwed up and switched Kelly and Linda's fireteam roles?

 

[Kinyou]

Ah, I see. Had no idea they were already teaming up with the Master Chief again. Though I hope the game makes an effort to reintroduce us to the characters again and doesn't just assume we all read the books/comics etc.

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

Oh, my. I love it.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Btw not sure if already noticed but that DMR on the Blue Team Screenshot has no Scope...

 

[Olengie]

Pls be like Republic Commando. pls.

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

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

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

Just six days ...

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Holy shit. I need an Xbox ONE. This is the year.

 

[Dabanton]

That's whats getting me salivating. I can only imagine what 343i are cooking up.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Do we have any gif-ys yet? Is there anything worth yiffin' gifing in the trailer?
