On GT they said Arena tomorrow and Warzone on Sunday.

Ah, okay. I heard some saying yesterday that Friday was MP and lumped Arena and Warzone together... so confusing
. Hopefully we get a good look at some of the Arena maps. And maybe a couple we haven't seen?Masterfully done. Kudos to 343!
Yea, the Scarabs were an incredible sight to behold on first impression, then you kill your first and they become a minor speedbump through the rest of the campaign and on replay. Always a shame.

It's things like these that i absolutely love. The small details. In Halo 4 they sounded too grimey and...did they even speak properly there?
The only thing that i hated in this video was the horrible aim of them,....but yeah..we'll see about that.
I love the cute snoring. I might have a hard time killing them.

Same here. Seeing that one player in another video sneaking up on one unaware Grunt and then killing him from behind with the third person camera...harsh man, damn. Haha.

"I really don't like the groundpound ability because it has this awkward charge up function and I kept getting killed when I would try one."
Someone's going to say that sooner or later.

This is why I never trust reviews for multiplayer-heavy games, especially competitive ones. Although I still think Halo 5 will be reviewed pretty favorably because of the large campaign and Warzone.

Journalists are notoriously bad at games and they are even worse with Halo multiplayer, yet they still usually give it positive reviews, so maybe they can look beyond how well they do.
Well, you know, they usually play with each other when they write their review since the game isn't out yet. It's a fair game so they probably can enjoy some fun... Before they are slaughtered by true players.

I don't think it's that journalists are bad at games, precisely (I've gotten my head handed to me by Alfredo Diaz in Titanfall enough times, lord knows), but that they're sort of forced to play in an awkwardly expository fashion while making notes (mental or otherwise) and generally not getting much/any time to practice.
Oh, and there's usually a ton of people nearby making noise.
I mean, some are just awful, yeah. But it's far from universal.

Saw this on reddit (I'm not sure if it's been discussed in this thread or not), but each Blue Team member will have different perks alongside their loadouts.
Definitely a pretty cool touch, and the thread also mentions that Team Osiris will have similar perks as well, although the health regeneration is supposedly replaced with enhanced thruster capabilities for them.

I was going to main Fred but lol at one more grenade

Thanks for this. I like that they're at least giving them differences to go along with the lore from the books.
Shouldn't Fred have enhanced melee though? If I recall Fred was the best at CQC. Which is why in Halo: Legends, they had him fight a Sangheili with dual daggers, to show said skill.
Take the melee perk from Chief give it to Fred and give Chief the grenade perk.
Yea but for gameplay sake, they have to make some concession to allow each character to have some sort of bonus. As much as us lore fans would want them to stick to things from the books, there has to be a certain amount of give and take in order to create a fun experience.
Just saw your edit. I think that would work as well, but I'm wondering if with the singleplayer play testing, they notice more people using melee so they kept it with Chief.

They probably have cheif with the melee due to the scene described in HTT.

That would be a sweet minigame. Waddle around as a Grunt trying to fight foes way faster than you.
Man that was great!
My Favorite:
Elite- "hold your positions"
Grunt- "SCATTERRRRRRRRR!"

If there's one thing explosives training is good for, it's being able to physically carry one extra grenade
I guess since Chief is kind of an all rounder and not the best at anything, they had to draw his perk from somewhere, even if Fred was better at CQC.

Finally got some time to catch up on all of the new coverage. Looking very solid, especially in the level design department. More open areas and vertically is just what I was hoping for after Halo 4. The one thing I was a bit disappointed with, as others have mentioned, is the lack of blood. Its definitely a nitpicky thing, but I always associate bright blue and green blood with Halo, and found it to be a bit lacking here. Noticed this especially during the Hunter fight, unless I am just watching the wrong videos.
Anyways, that's a dumb thing to complain about but there it is. Interested to get more Arena information tomorrow.

Ya, I think he should have been able to carry 50% more ammo for all weapons. I think thats fair considering the bonuses for the other 3.

Pretty much all merch has Req Packs. Last Light has a Basic pack, the action figures have an Intermediate pack, and I'd assume the MegaBloks sets have the Expert packs.

The dialogue in the locke sections always seem so stilted and forced to me for some reason.
