Wow, BC didn't think it'd happen. Hope Halo Reach gets added.
I'd wager it's one of the first games available.
Curious about how the backwards compatibility works. Some sort of dynarec approach, I imagine.

Also curious why they did it - I imagine it's too late to be a selling point, at least enough of one to justify the cost of development.
Think of all those XBLA games just sitting in the wrong store.

Singleplayer section didn't do much for me. Hopefully they're not going for the constant cinematic action like a lot of shooters do these days.
 
Singleplayer was a bit disappointing, but they really seemed like they were hurting for time, so I'ma hold on until more in-depth impressions. Hopefully it's not as scripted as it looked.

I have no earthly idea what Warzone is. Like, it's got a lot of stuff, and there were these red hunters? But other than that, totally in the dark.

Yeah I'm... not sure what to feel about it. I don't hate the idea.
Will have to see that on the floor gameplay. Still though. Bigger player count.

That running scene really didn't impress me. Looked like some QTE part.

Also, the amount of enemies was not that high. Probably for demo reasons, but it worries me.

I hope there's more Halo stuff.

Kinda underwhelming compared to everything else >.> The campaign snippet looked like something you'd find in a CoD game. And I don't mean that in a bad way... it was just kinda dull. Too scripted and linear. Halo has always been about those big expansive environments.

Well. At one point it was.
 
HYPE


demolished lol

I'm not going to hunt for breadcrumb bits of information from the show floor and I feel like I would need to in order to find out what war zone is. I'm going to assume it's similar to titanfall and the random ai in that was a big negative for me so I'm really not excited

I'm hoping 343 does a proper reveal at some point and I hope my assumptions are wrong

Usually a very scripted COD demo opens the MS show.

Copy and paste Halo and voila.

Pity, in the montage there appears to be some interesting ideas and stuff happening, but hiding it behind that awful scripted nonsense is very disappointing. And no Chief?

Minimal expectations set for Halo 5 this E3 and I'm disappointed already.

For a sec I thought Warzone was some type of large-scale Firefight mode.

If you suck at MP you can sneak around the periphery fighting covenant and prometheans and helping fight bosses. And contribute to team scorer, level and weapons and vehicle unlocks

So that's three demos that have ended the same way - Halo, DOOM, and Gears of War have all had the same gameplay demo formula that ends with big bad guy attacking main character and cut to black.

No Halo on backwards list.
BOOO I want to play Reach


Halo 5 demo was really COD. MP want to play though.
Can't say I'm surprised - would've been pretty embarrassing to have free backwards compatibility that works better than the $60 Master Chief Collection.
