343 Industries revealed some new details including the new Agent Locke character and how Halo Nightfall will tie into Halo 5.

Every time I glance at the new character, I always feel like it looks like Samus. The helmet I think is what is doing it....

November is Halo's trademark release date. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Nov of next year. The exact day means nothing.
|
Was Halo 4 considered a financial success? I played it a little bit because my brother bought it but it didn't seem to be that good.
|
Yeah, but it wasn't terribly popular with fans. Multiplayer had strange quirks.
|
Only played it for the story. I feel like Halo "fell off" after 2.
|
Saw a match on the Halo Fest stream. Very nice indeed. Footage when I can get it.

Fast. Twitchy.
|
They had a video on the XBone dashboard and it looks soooooooooooooooo much better in game.
Not been into Halo lately, but this looks pretty awesome. |
Microsoft released two trailers for the game along with the official release date of October 27, 2015.

A new trailer and pre-order bonus info was released recently by Microsoft.

No, the gear will do nothing in-game, ScrewAttack. And Locke's moves are things we've done in the beta. Jesus.
|
SUCK A FUCKING DICK
|
No local co-op b/c of framerate.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo |
Well... here's hoping that multiplayer retains splitscreen. I'm noticing nobody is directly referring to PvP multiplayer.

Quote:
|
Not going to buy it anyway, so it doesn't really affect me one way or the other.
Still, loved the first 2 Halo's. Many a nights doing split screen games and it was kinda a big part of Halo. Pretty shitty to cater to "ZOMG 60FPS!!!!!!!" tards. |
Might get this. Dunno. If I do decide to get it, I'll probably get Master Chief Collection, as I've only ever finished Halo, ODST, and Reach. So, should probably beat the other Master Chief games first.
Having the squad and switching characters reminds me of Reach, which is the only Halo I really loved. |
Also, they ever gonna remaster Reach and ODST for Xbox One? I mean I know we're kinda getting plastered with remasters lately but they might as well.
|
ME Remasters first or GTFO
Yea, I said it :shifty: |
ODST was added to MCC two weeks ago.

That is clusterfuck amazing. |
I am so ready for this. Might get the ultimate premium whatever package because of excitement
|
I would advise people against those pricy editions. Always seemed over the top to me.

343 Industries states all pre-order goodies will be made available to everyone with the difference being the choice of having them available at the start with a pre-order or getting them while gradually playing the game.

Now it's just the Halo collection with every Halo except the best one. |
Reach should come soon enough. It's crazy to not have it now.

New multiplayer-based trailer was revealed during Gamescom recently.

Halo 5's campaign was teased to be roughly twice as long as it was in Halo 4 according to an accidental leak by Microsoft.

Some good/bad news from 343 Industries depending on your perspective regarding multiplayer maps.

|
After years of seeing what the voting system yields in action - I have no problem with this.
|
REQ system was explained a bit recently. 343 Industries planning on having around 1,000 unique digital cards available at launch for the feature with more added over time.
Quote:
|
I'm not sure how making the disparity between hardcore and casual play will work out or them. Doesn't seem worth removing Big Team Battle. So many odd decisions with Halo 5.
|
What is this current obsession with card packs in games?
|
I actually don't mind that compared to other modern trends. It just seems odd for Halo given the set-up they have for multiplayer. It works (and likely perfected) in Titanfall. It kinda ruined CoD. May or may not be good in Forza.

According to 343 Industries, Halo 5's Forge mode will be the largest in series history but unfortunately won't be ready in time for the game's launch. Will be a post-launch update arriving in December.

It better be a-fucking-mazing.

343 Industries gave some new details regarding the transaction system in the game and them constantly defending it ever since it was announced:
Quote:
Game itself requires around 60 GB of hard drive space in order to be playable. Wasn't specified if that includes the upcoming Forge or just a massive Day 1 patch is on its way as well. Quote:
|
Microsoft revealed those who play the game online before November 7th will get exclusive in-game armor as a free gift.

According to Gamestop, there won't be a traditional midnight launch event for the game. Instead its going to be a digital event on the Xbox One marketplace.
Quote:
Day 1 patch was revealed to be 9GB in size. Main reason for the size is due to all the updates done to the game's multiplayer since it went into the "gold" phase. Overall space required is 55 GB (46 GB for the game itself). Quote:

Heads up if any of you guys have pre-ordered and pre-loaded:

Amazing how many publishers of "Triple-A titles" these days manage to not have their shit together before launches of their most "epic" games.
|
I'll take them discovering it pre-launch over day of or post-launch any day.

Series director Frank O’Connor stated there is a very high chance Halo 5 could get a PC version within the near future. All the real work for a potential PC version is already done and would only need Microsoft's approval to get a port made.

Microsoft ended up squashing all rumors and hope of Halo 5 getting a PC port anytime soon. Might consider the idea "well into the future" if they ever consider a PC version to be made.
http://gamingbolt.com/halo-5-guardia...ills-pc-rumors |
At least for the UK, Halo 5's current launch estimates have it at around worst or second worst selling in series history. Doesn't count the spin-off Halo Wars for ranking purposes.
Estimates don't include digital sales while low sales of Xbox One combined with the bad reception from Master Chief Collection could have played a role in why. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1133453 |
Kalyx, you got this?
|
Actually just today, yeah.
|
Sweet. I'm juggling work and a 5 month year old, but hopefully we can throw down some time :y:.
|
You totally have a kid now.
|
Latest update for the game is around 6 GB in size.

Need more BTB maps.
Recurve, the Longbow inspired BTB map, is fucking terrible. |
Just wanna advise you guys Silver Req packs will yield more cosmetics than the Gold packs, and more often obviously.
|
Yup, Little Baby Ramona is pretty cooool!
I'm really digging the Basin BTB map, it would be nice to see some previous Halo maps added but with design changes to accommodate the new mechanics. Kalyx, your double ground pound video was sweet! Here's one of my plays i'm pretty proud of :P: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Funk%20Bro/video/12899078 <iframe frameborder=0 webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen scale="tofit" width="640" height="365" style="max-width:100%" src="http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Funk%20Bro/video/12899078/embed"></iframe> |
Tense. They should up flanking something, you had them on a goose chase.
|
What in the fuck is going on? I seriously am unable to split screen this game? There is no local fucking co-op? Why the hell? So upset right now. Wish I could return this fucking game. Was Halo 4 like this? I hope Halo lost a shit ton of money to this feature but most people probably bought the fucking game assuming it was there like I did.
|
We tried to stream the shit and play it too but that seems to have failed.
|
Quote:
Same reason there is no local multiplayer either. |
Is it possible they can change their minds and patch it in? Or is this just how it is? Should have bought a PS4.
|
Think they already mentioned its not possible or they wouldn't but the backlash was big enough that they probably won't try to pull that again with Halo 6.
|
Sigh......... That is stupid. Thanks.
|
Have you been reading the thread? lol
|
Nope. Really did not think I needed to do that when the main feature I care about seems as basic as it gets.
|
That's why it was a big deal. And I understand that the media were dragging their feet about it, most making articles after launch.
It was a big deal to the Halo community and one of the reasons I stress that developers need to focus on gameplay experience again. |
Ya. It came as a huge shock. Technically, it was my fault for not researching the game though.
|
At the very least it's a very solid playing Halo that promises free DLC over time. Doesn't seem like we'll ever have to pay for maps and armor.
|
Considering picking this up. Been watching a lot of videos and it looks pretty great.
|
Pick it up after the Forge update.
|
Forgot how pissed I get when I go into Legendary mode. 4 levels left though.
|
Newest update for the game includes Forge mode and a few new multiplayer maps.

Forge will take some getting used to, but it is very much an improvement. Shame I can't test out my stuff with SPLITSCREEN customs.
Time to make friends. |
Beat this in Legendary. Ran into two tough spots but that was it. The solo watcher and then when there were 3 of them. The solo one was the worst though by far.

Alot of guys named dog.
|
Bight this on a whim as I saw it for £25 and wanted something with a lot of buttons that was fast to really get used to the Elite controller. After hating Halo 4, I was pleasantly surprised that they seem to have nailed the feel of this one.
Sucking horribly, but hey, I'm having fun. Cards feel like bullshit for vehicles though. |
The reqs in warzone are done well enough. Nothing really broken about it yet.
|
This trailer alone kinda makes me wanna get the game

Slowly but surely turning into a halo game. Nice new Forge stuff too.
|
Recent update by 343 Industries for the game included a couple of tributes for a community member who lost his children from an accident.

How do you rate this, Kalyx?
Personally I think it's my favourite Halo in terms of gameplay and how smooth it feels. Shame none of my old Halo 3 friends have Xbox's :/ |
Gameplay wise it is easily the best and smoothest. The faster time-to-kill worried me but it is still 'Halo', just faster. I love it.
If it wasn't for the amazing Forge, this might have had the worst maps since Reach multiplayer (launch maps). Forge has put fun maps in there and there's virtually no past maps that can't be remade. Somebody made Containment from Halo 2. If that can be made anything can be made. Warzone is nice lounge gametype with occasional spurts of close games. I play that most. BTB is BTB. Arena is the most fierce Halo's ever been. The REQ reward system can go fuck itself but I have a general bias against loot/RNG systems popping up in games. I know what I want, I hate gambling for it. As you seen I'm diving in to Forge finally and given time, I got some wild stuff coming. So long as I can actually get my guys together. Won't mention lack of splitscreen, trying to have a good day today. |
I'm not the biggest fan of Warzone, or even big team for that matter... Maybe I just prefer CQC.
I always wear ODST armour which you get from watching Nightfall on the Halo Channel, so the REQ system doesn't really bother me because i've got what I want. Forge is great. Just waiting on an action sack playlist to have a go at some of the wacky custom games i've seen. |
They don't have my EOD set and if they added it I'm gambling to get it. Fuck REQ.
I played some Arena last night and promptly paid for avoiding it with my blood. Will take a bit to adjust. |
War zone is fun. Hate how you can't get rid of certification on crap that I don't want like the Mongoose or the shitty ghost. It's like I am being punished for getting more packs.
|
Forge is coming to Windows 10, I guess we can expect a reveal at E3 for the full game?
