Halo 5: Guardians voice actor says Cortana will appear in the game\

Not saying she will appear, but we know it's Chief searching for clues on how to get Cortana back. The very first E3 trailer said as much.
Also:
Yeah... Nightfall didn't do that at all. They introduced a coupple new characters,
killed off basically all of them
I hope they have some kind of recap video in Halo 5, where the things from the comics are summed up... Otherwise, people will again not understand many important things.

Could be anything, but I hope they don't bring her back too soon.

I don't know, I liked halo 4s armour! When you compare it to the other games in the MCC, it is on another level. It is the god awful pastel colours that seriously let it down.
If you're reading 343, make sure dead eye armour is in please! Also, make armour and weapon skins microtransactionable (is that even a word?) And keep the god damn maps free please...
Oh yeah, hurry up, the wait is killing me

Nah. H4 armor had some serious issues, most notably in terms of undersuit design (too shiny and textured) and armor attachment points (some of it looked like it was pasted on). H5 fixes both of those issues, and is a notable step up as such.
Halo 4 armour is weird, sometimes it looks in proportion and fine, while other times it looks pasted on with air gaps on a skinny spartan model.

The undersuit is a bit weird granted, but overall, I liked halo 4s armour. I do agree on halo 5s being the tastiest though.

I really question Halsy's true motives in teaming up with the storm covanent.
She said she wants revenge, and while I don't doubt that she has a bone to pick with ONI, I think she is just telling the Diadact's hand what he wants to hear...her true loyalty lies with John, and the task the librarian gave her to elevate humanity to the next level with the forerunner artifacts.

Oh, absolutely. Revenge is her secondary motive, and she's totally using the Storm to her own ends.

I believe as you do. I do not see Halsey as a true traitor at all but simply telling Jul what he wants to hear to keep her safe/alive and to get her what she wants.

Halo 4's armors had some extremely high highs (Rogue), but also some extremely low lows (everything else save for maybe Recruit).

The problems started when bungie felt that halo needed 20 different helmets and armor pieces, nothing beats the original halo 1 and 2 armor design.

Honestly, my favorite armors in the franchise are probably (in no particular order):
Rogue (Halo 4)
Operator (Halo Reach)
Elite Ranger (Halo Reach)
CEA Mk V
CE Mk V
Nightfall (Halo 5 Guardians Beta)
I think there have been a handful of decent armors in every iteration. The thing I miss the most is CE's pearlescence / glossiness on everything, though.

Yep. Halsey is an extremely intelligent individual, and she's playing a game of chess with moves 5 turns ahead, while Jul is fumbling with his own pieces.

Nightfall? Really?

The ODST armor is already pretty good, so an armor with a relatively minimal set of superfluous details (compared to the bolts, notches, lights, grooves, accents, etc. on the other beta armors) looked terrific in the H5G engine. I just hope we get more "simple" armors like that, because none of the other armors in the beta really caught my eye.

If she isn't brought back somehow this will definitely be my last Halo.

Dead eye (halo 4) the best armour so far for me. Agreed on the glossy bit though. I hope 343 give the armours a glossy finish in halo 5.

Halo 4-5s armor looks like shrink wrapped plastic.

Eh. The pouches threw the profile all out of wack, IMO. The helmet is nice, but the rest...

Umm....
That's... not what it looks like in game.
Though, I suppose I really shouldn't be surprised you don't know that.
Pretty much confirmed you didn't even play the Beta... lol
Like, for real? They look nothing like that.
For having such a strong opinion on Halo 5, it doesn't surprise me.

Cortana is the centerpiece app in Windows 10 and also launching on Android and IOS.
She will be back in some capacity in Halo 5.

I actually played the Halo 5 beta a ton. I thought it was pretty good. Personally Halo 4/5 armor look like action figure toys to me compared to 1-3.
It looks a ton better than Halo 4 did.

No. How do you still argue? I thought you'd been rebuked enough times you'd give this up.

Sorry to disrupt the troll exposing
But do we have any idea what will drop at the end of the countdown? An ARG? new footage?

Cinematic trailer most likely. Recent Frankie comments make me think we won't get a release date, but maybe a tease for what'll be at E3
I'm wondering if it will be something regarding this
I was always under the impression of that's what they were going for and the shader in the beta wasn't done. I think the clear coat metal look is nice though.

Makes me feel like such a big baby but man, I really don't want to be playing as Locke for the majority of Halo 5. Didn't like the whole "see the main character from a different perspective" in MGS2 or WC5; hopefully the split between Locke and the MC isn't as bad as Shinobi suggested a while back.

Nobody knows. Best guess is, the ARG kicks off, and at the end of it we get some footage.
He said she'd be part of the story. Given what happened in the last game it would be pretty amazing if everyone just acted like she never existed.

I wonder if that image is from that Steven Spielberg thing that's still on track to release before Halo 5: Guardians
I hope we get a playable sky diving Chief moment all the way to the ground. I hope BTB is kinda like that too.
That moment when Chief jumps off in Halo 4 to catch the Didact ship, thought I was going to be doing it but cut scene. More balls out free moments like that but not a QTE.

Mmm... I'm inclined to disagree. I've always enjoyed seeing the protagonist from another's viewpoint, especially when it comes to power fantasy characters like the Chief.
That said, we better get more than MGS2 offered.
I wondered that also but we've heard really nothing about that except for showtime picking it up. I haven't heard anything about casting even
The teaser tumblr site now has the video. So, that was not the big reveal.
