I'd say that's worked out for the best for everyone then, because the voice over in the ad was great.
I know not everyone needs to have a voice as bad ass as Master Chiefs, but when this character is on level footing with the Chief, and is surrounded by characters like the Arbiter, I'm glad they've gone with another 'epic' voice.

I'd love to see some levels where MC is lost in thought, we don't know if we're playing a real mission of playing through his dreams. Could mix things up nicely, but it might not fit the direction they are going in.

If you're interested The Sprint series has quite a bit of footage with him in it. The overall series is also very well done imo. It's worth checking out even if you're just interest in a small bts look at game development.

Feel better now that you got that condescension out of your system?

The top photo is much better imo. You can see much around it.
That scope caught my eye in the demo and I instantly liked it.

Oh yea, I couldn't see it being an issue if it was solely relegated to campaign.

I think the functionality is perfectly fine, and I don't care about lore. I was just talking aesthetics. Just nitpicking really, I like things to look cool, that's what being a Spartan is all about right? I didn't mean to insult anyone by saying it looked like a toy scope (if that's what you were implying), I just thought the design was funky.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
I had to watch speedrun videos for some mission and tried to avoid the action as much as possible. That shit is indeed hard.
No, no. It's all good, I was speaking about something else. Was just talking about both scopes, comparing them. I'm not necessarily a fan of seeing iron sights on screen in particular.

Go on the halo channel on the xbone. They're all there.
Thanks for clearing that up; makes total sense, and I'm happy both of them get to be a part of Halo
They were delicious and I normally don't even like plum sauce.
Brutal.

It's on the Halo Channel either on Windows 8 or on the Console. I'm not sure if it's been loaded to youtube yet.
Edit see above.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
Is there any digital limited collector's edition? I am too old for having these statues laying around, but I still want the digital goodies.

there is halo 5 deluxe edition on xbox store which includes the digital goodies including the animated Fall of Reach

6 at launch.
Other then the animated series, Both special editions seem pointless to me. The fact that there is no DLC/ season pass included makes me smile ear to ear that they are 100% not bullshitting us on FREE DLC.

Not cool bro.
I knew I should have pre-ordered Halo 5 last year or earlier this year. Apparently the prices will definitely be $74.99 to $79.99 this holiday because our dollar is speculated to drop a lot come September.
Amazon had Halo 5 for $64.99 two days ago during their promotion, but amazon sucks for shipping in Canada and very rarely do you get games within launch week. I'd rather pre-order and pick up at midnight but I'll now have to shell out an extra $5-10 for no reason other than dollar speculation by publishers.

Done all the sprints, that looks like such a fun software development environment. And casual wear!
Programming medical information portals isn't quite so exciting

I am guessing around the Rooster Teeth Expo, starts August 7th.

Wow, the LCE doesn't come with Warzone REQ packs huh?

Yeah, makes me regret not going into game design. Hell, got my master's degree in organizational sciences the other day, I would do anything to get a job opportunity at 343 (I know you're reading this, Frankie. ANYTHING).
Also, if the music littered throughout the 'Sprint' series is a further indication of what we can expect in Halo 5, count me excited, Kazuma.
All 3 versions not the standard edition, Physical limited edition, limited collectors edition with the Chief/Locke statue, and the digital limited edition all come with the 14 REQ packs over a 7 week period.

For those who havent the trailer on their mind atm, he refers to that thing:
I believe in one of the new "The Sprint" vidocs they say this machine is a "Covenant mining platform".
Do we have a list of preorder bonuses yet?
Amazon has this, it's called a Projection SMG with long barrel
Large image warning if clicked
Gamestop has The Sentinel Battle Rifle with Laser Targeter and the Bloodthirst Battle Rifle Weapon Skin.
As well as what seems to be instant access to Locke's armor in multiplayer

Awesome effect, I love the Kelly helmet! I think maybe they can simply give the option to the players to choose if they want this effect but sadly I believe they removed to have a better gameplay experience which I can understand for the gameplay.
That would be great. As much as I cannot wait for the Solo side and Warzone. It is really Forge that drives me to play more Halo. I pray every time they mention Forge that is a good update and the basic hints I have heard so far is that its not an iterative update like the previous Forge's and that fills me with hope and crazy excitement.

Didn't expect it for co-op or customs, so that great news.

I only took a stab at Rooster Teeth Expo simply because that is where they have revealed Forge in the past. I hope they make Forge be a real next-gen version of the previous iterations. Though, personally, I have never been a Forge guy.

The thing people need to understand about Master Chief is that he is absolutely not a lone wolf by nature. He was trained to be part of a team, spent the majority of his career as part of a team, and has only elected to go it alone when the circumstances give him no better option. So this game really is a return to form for him, canonicaly speaking. Having Blue Team back by his side doesn't prevent him from dealing with his memories or discovering new mysteries - in fact by having his closest friends with him there's no better way to continue to explore and develop his character, as well as equip him with what he needs to tackle even bigger challenges. Hopefully this is just the beginning of Blue Team's adventures together in the games.
It's already been confirmed each team will be present for the entire game. Can't really have a game that's "built from the ground up for cooperative play" with a JIP system for campaign and then remove that aspect for a few levels.

Actually I think it has been confirmed each character does have a unique HUD. Wouldn't make sense to see the outline of Chief's helmet (where you can see brim of his visor and such) when playing as Kelly in her EVA-esque armor.
