"Open world" probably means Metroid Prime-like levels
Yes. Maybe an upgraded variant?
True BUT I've always thought IV's design was kind of a mix of SII and SIII designs. Who knows though.

I'm taking this info with a truckload of salt, but that would be ridiculously cool.

Can't be the arbiter because the "new guy" has 5 fingers. My guess is it would have to be Lasky, or like they said a completely new guy.
I was kinda getting this vibe with the glow and the skinnier look.

Just kinda odd saying that in public when we haven't seen anything to relate it to. Even if there was a trailer or something, it sounds like he's proud of the announcement.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Really excited for Halo 5! Will purchase an Xbox One and the game on release! I'm a sucker for Halo.

Just wait until Halo Gear Guardians: Reclaimvengeance starring Marlowe.
Here's a side-by-side since no one has done it yet:
That armor on the Not-Master Chief dude is really cool. Am excite.
He is known to regurgitate info that has been spreading over the internet. For example: when somebody highlighted the pasta bin leak, he tweeted the same basic information as fact based. Very shady.

IIRC she builds graphics engines (among other things), so if she and Naughty Dog's other programming ninjas come up with something cool it's not just the Uncharted franchise that will benefit. Assuming ND licenses out the engine, of course.
This basically confirms the return of the mantis. Ordnance mantis? Confirmed.
The new guy looks like Six from Reach to me.
Yeah, I like it better than Chief's. Just like I like Arkham Knight's armor over Steroidman's.

AR v BR
was thinking that myself, he's a human elite..makes sense that Oni would be playing about with Covenant tech.
There is something weird going on with his left arm. The bicep almost looks fake as if he has a robot arm.

What if its a Chief clone? MGS style?

I still can't believe after all these years Chief thinks the AR is a useful weapon.
That Spartan indoctrination is a hell of a thing.

My problem with Halo anymore is the characters
Other Spartans - all secondary to Chief, nobody really seems to care including devs themselves
Cortana - Gone
Sgt Johnson - Dead
Chief - Within the context of the games is a paper thin character, slightly above a COD player character
Miranda Keys - Killed off anticlimactically
ODST Squad - Not likely to reappear
Cortana was basically the only thing I still really cared about in 4 and look how that ended up

I think open world is the right way for a new Halo.
Halo 4 felt confined, limited and linear (ok, it was even when compared to previous Halo's but that's beyond the point) for today's standards.
I think a Far Cry 3 like structure would be perfect for it. Keep the sandbox nature of the encounters, value use of vehicles and exploration even further, an arpg/like progression through armor upgrades, while still maintaining the old Halo pacing and set pieces in 'dungeons' and missions.
The promise of 60fps though, basically rules this out entirely I guess ?

Eh. My hype's not high because of Halo 4. New engine sounds cool, but my heart lies with Project Beast and that's a different system exclusive.
Hopefully it's not Palmer, or if it is Palmer, they really improved her character.
Judging from the cover, unnamed Spartan is playable, and it wouldn't make much sense for Cortana to come back close to the start of Halo 5.

That or they're just trying to recreate him using another Spartan. I keep thinking it has something to do with the opening scene from 4What if its a Chief clone? MGS style?
where an ONI official is interrogating Halsey about what made John a successful experiment.

Nor is her name "Metroid". Metroid are space jellyfish. She's Samus.
Already debunked.
Take that Plywood. Halo is a cool guy tho.

Wow.. Well done.
he's Oni.
God I'm getting more and more excited about the idea of AWOL master chief being hunted down by an ONI Spartan. Very hyped right now. Already decided to buy the collectors edition.

The second armor is fantastic!
Then they use generic jock Spartans and Palmer.
Something about the direction I really dislike, weak sauce Sci fi miltary with cartoon level writing. There seems to be more there but they ignore it or go off on the worst tangent with terrible writing and characters.

I'm not seeing the Covenant armor comparisons, personally. The new guy looks just like a Spartan IV.
Obviously intended to be a very aggressive look, in the same style family as the Deadeye, and Pathfinder helmets. The torso design is unique, but is conceptually similar to the Prefect and Venator. Could be a bespoke ONI design or (probably) a GEN3 suit.

Chief just a bit bigger?
