Looks amazing. Super pumped for this game. Saw some weird stuff with A.I like elites standing still while being shot and at this point you see multiple elites running backwards into a wall and getting stuck. But it is still pre-release footage so who knows, i just hope the A.I in the game can handle it being based around a squad of 4 people.

 

[FordGTGuy]

The graphics in this game are confusing. Some footage they shoowed from campaign looks fantastic. Other footage, looked not so good.

Either way still pumped. I don't want to wait 4 months still. Damnit.

It's almost like they were showing a lot of work in progress footage...

Anyway, shit gave me chills by the end.

 

[Skele7on]

343 guy wearing Windows t-shirt! MCC and Halo 5 on PC confirmed!

Jokes aside, I agree with the people who are saying that - at least graphically - this game looks very hit and miss. Some parts are stunning, some others (explosions?) not.

well technically with the app sharing between XB1 and windows it is happening...

 

[Scanna]

true

 

[wesleyshark]

Junk screebgrabs from my Android tablet:

Hnnnnggg.

 

[Torment]

Well that was a whole lot of self congratulatory bolonga.

The amount of excuses and talk about how difficult things are was almost nauseating.

60 FPS is impossible!

Looks at avatar and post history, nope not gonna go there.

Let's just say this game isn't for you.

 

[LastChance2Frag]

Looks great, gonna be great just release it already.

I want to see gameplay on the new Warzone map.

 

[shinobi602]

I want wide open battlefield with hundreds of enemies and scarabs running around.

You're going to be sorely disappointed. That's a pretty unreasonable expectation, hell at 60FPS it's nigh on impossible.

 

[JB1981]

Decent, if a bit disappointing.

I don't feel like I learned much or gained any particular insight into the game's development.

Agreed. The video spent a lot of time telling us why Halo 4 didn't turn out too great and why this one is a big technical challenge. We learned that the team added some new gameplay mechanics, such as friendly AI and "orders" but other than that I didn't see much talk about gameplay or sandbox design

It looks slick and very big budget though

 

[Akai__]

BR with scope instead of ADS:

I'm gonna gif a lot more stuff.

 

[UKUMI0]

So there were a few small details I saw but gonna sleep on them, but couldn't go without pointing this out, is this how the 4th Spartan will get around on the 3 person Warthog?

 

[Primethius]

Eh, that's what the first 4-5 minutes felt like to me too. It only really got interesting in the latter half.

Oh my, I hope so.

 

[Nowise10]

Anyway, shit gave me chills by the end.

Graphics are definitely not going to change drastically in 4 months. Doesn't and has never worked like that.

And I am not calling them terrible, but its underwhelming at certain parts.

 

[AP90]

I am so hyped and got chills from watching this vid doc.

They should have showed this at E3 and had a little single player footage. (yes i know there would not have been enough time to show it, but it would have blown the roof off IMO.)

 

[Fotos]

Someone screen that new Scorpion in the background when they show the wraith firing off.

At 4:25 for a split second

 

[DagnastyEp]

Really excited for this. It will be interesting to see how Blue team plays vs Osiris. Looking forward to all the different locations the campaign will (hopefully) visit.

 

[danwarb]

Still missing a great theme.

Honestly, i had it on 1080P on ign and the video was still terrible. Ill have to rewatch it tonight on youtube.

You still missed half the pixels at 30fps.

 

[Torment]

You're going to be sorely disappointed. That's a pretty unreasonable expectation, hell at 60FPS it's nigh on impossible.

Not the whole game, just some levels with that really open feel, this is a full scale war with the Prometheans and I think they should really give the players that sense of battle.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Some of this stuff is older than 4 months and graphics can definitely get tighter in that amount of time.

 

[link1201]

Be interesting if you could do that in MP.

 

[Goldfishking]

It's not like they shot all this footage last week. Could have been from a year ago. Stuff they shot while making the halo 5 beta sprint videos and such.

Yeah this gonna me excited as well, I don't want an ADS feel to my Halo games.

 

[shinobi602]

Of course, larger scale battles should be implemented, I was mainly focusing on the "hundreds" of enemies at once notion. Just not possible.

 

[Mix]

I'd be surprised if not, now that each campaign mission you're going to be in a team larger than what a warthog can fit.

It's the same scope that's on the pre-order bonus from Gamestop:

 

[singhr1]

Audio Pillars:

"Improved Mixing Solution"

For all you complainers . Hope that solves H4's OST problem.

 

[orichalcos]

OMG, Halsey is little weird:

Well I can hope and pray

 

[Blue Ninja]

Game looks really good, some interesting tidbits in this ViDoc too. The campaign battlegrounds like nice and large-scale.

I'd still like a full retrospective on Halo 4 and the MCC one day from 343's point of view, one day. Doubt I'll ever get it.

 

[jelly]

Looks good, some big scale snippets which is what I was hoping for. Hope it all comes together well and the encounters are fun. I like the idea of flanking after commanding the team one way. How well can they drive this time. Graphics look fine.

Do we get transport hogs or anything this time, they should mix it up a bit. Still want that snow hog.

 

[kayos90]

I said Gat Damn.

 

[Vire]

Let's just say this game isn't for you.

I've been a part of HaloGAF and the Halo community since 2007. Former username DancingJesus on GAF.

Halo CE is my favorite single player FPS and Halo 2 is my favorite MP of all time. I'm a tough critic on 343, but I love this series... That being said, a lot of what I heard was overly melodramatic and eye roll worthy throughout this video.

 

[Fotos]

New Wraith and Scorpion...

 

[FunkyDealer]

It looks good, but I wish they'd admit to the mistakes they made with 4 and say how they're fixing them for 5. I'm thinking of the linearity in level-design, the somewhat dull nature of Prometheans vs Covenant, the over-use of Cyan and Orange, the audio mix, the hiding of interesting story in terminals you might not find...

I think 5 looks great, I hate the removal of split-screen but Nathan Fillion almost makes up for it. Almost.

I still think spartan Locke looks too smooth, too "pretty". Maybe it's because you don't see his facial wrinkles as well.

Oh, and riding on the bonnet of a warthog? I hope we can do that. It would allow the full team to travel together.

 

[Akai__]

[Angel_DvA]

wow, that dude is chilling in the air...

 

[Jinaar]

Explanation of Spartans in the beginning of the VIDOC: Spartans are Adeptus Astartes. I guess this is why I've always liked 117.

 

[DrBo42]

There are so many sound bytes in this about being something to build on that it comes off as being unconfident in the game as it is. Hopefully that's not the case.

 

[wesleyshark]

New Wraith and Scorpion...

That wraith looks great.

 

[FordGTGuy]

 

[Dougieflesh]

I couldn't get behind them calling their AI "Musketeers". Other than that i'm hyped for the campaign and hope that they fix the mistakes they made with multiplayer.

 

[wesleyshark]

You are the real mvp for this gif.

 

[Theorry]

Was nice. Not a Bungie Vidoc but still good.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

There are so many sound bytes in this about being something to build on that it comes off as being unconfident in the game as it is. Hopefully that's not the case.

I thought the same thing when I watched it. Uncertainty can be good though.

 

[Vire]

"Halo 4 was a ridiculous challenge because it was a studio coming together for the first time in a new environment, so we are sorry for fucking up a bit."

"Halo 5 is a ridiculous challenge because of the hardware changes, new engine and move to 60 FPS/AI systems/dedicated servers, so we are sorry for fucking up a bit in advance."

"Halo 6 though.. that one is gonna be dope, I promise."

 

[shinobi602]

That being said, a lot of what I heard was overly melodramatic and eye roll worthy throughout this video.

I'm assuming you felt that way about Bungie's vidocs as well? Because they were no different than this.

 

[The Henery]

Super boring vidoc.

BR with scope instead of ADS

Nice. Madness will be happy.

 

[Akai__]

While that looks bad ass, it's probably not like you can actually do that in the game. Looks definitely like a 1st person cutscene.

Nice. Madness will be happy.

It still has to be in the actual game. Who knows, if this is just a prototype.

 

[VincentMatts]

I thought the same thing when I watched it. Uncertainty can be good though.

I rather they be afraid to fail than overly confident. When your afraid to fail, you'll always work a little harder.

 

[Somnia]

We get it, you don't like anything you saw here at all. It's pretty obvious this isn't for you.
