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

Quote:

While Chief boasts top-billing in Halo 5: Guardians of Ga'Hoole, Agent Locke (pictured above) will have a "key role" in the proceedings, 343 studio boss Bonnie Ross told Eurogamer. Apparently Ridley Scott's digital series Halo Nightfall, which will launch with the Master Chief Collection (11/11), will tell Locke's origin story, "so when you end up with Halo 5: Guardians you have an idea of the background of this new character."

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....

Agent Locke and not Master Chief was teased to be the main character for Halo 5 according to Agent Locke's voice actor.

Quote:

“Yeah, I’m a playable character in Halo 5,” Colter told X-One. “Once Halo: The Master Chief Collection is released, and then Halo 5 comes out shortly thereafter, you’re basically going to be playing a game with me as the primary character. I’ll have some cool weaponry, and some cool abilities, because by that time I’ll be a Spartan IV.”
343 Industries also confirmed the terminals found in Halo 2 for the Halo: Master Chief Collection will act as a tie in to Halo 5's story.

Halo 5 currently rumored to be arriving by November 10, 2015 according to a possible leak by someone working on the game.

Quote:

Halo developer 343 Industries took on a new staff member recently: eSports coach Michael Cavanaugh.

One of Cavanaugh’s first acts in his new role was to tweet a photo looking more than happy to be working in the home of Halo.

Unfortunately, doing so might have leaked Halo 5: Guardians’ release date: look at the red LED counter beneath the banner at the top of the photo.

We have absolutely no proof that this is a release date target countdown, but if the number refers to days it works out as November 10 2015, which certainly sounds right.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>I’m extremely happy and humbled to join the the 343 Industries team to work on <a href="https://twitter.com/Halo">@Halo</a> 5: Guardians! <a href="http://t.co/BI7csQK9hR">pic.twitter.com/BI7csQK9hR</a></p>&mdash; Michael Cavanaugh (@mcstrongside) <a href="https://twitter.com/mcstrongside/status/525371897790607362">October 23, 2014</a></blockquote>

November is Halo's trademark release date. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Nov of next year. The exact day means nothing.

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-27-2014 03:40 AM

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.

Kalyx triaD 10-27-2014 08:49 AM

Yeah, but it wasn't terribly popular with fans. Multiplayer had strange quirks.

drave 10-27-2014 09:39 AM

Only played it for the story. I feel like Halo "fell off" after 2.

Kalyx triaD 11-10-2014 11:50 PM

Saw a match on the Halo Fest stream. Very nice indeed. Footage when I can get it.

Fast. Twitchy.

drave 12-30-2014 05:03 AM

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.

Emperor Smeat 03-30-2015 06:14 PM

Microsoft released two trailers for the game along with the official release date of October 27, 2015.

Quote:

The official announcement came late Sunday and was accompanied by a trailer featuring Master Chief in action once again. It also launched the social media advertising campaign “#HunttheTruth.”

An alternate version of the trailer features Spartan Jameson Locke as the UNSC’s top manhunter prepared to take Chief out. The language Locke uses suggests he believes Chief betrayed humanity. This isn’t the first bit of material to suggest that Chief is a traitor in Halo 5.

Emperor Smeat 04-20-2015 05:07 PM

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

Quote:

Xbox announced on Monday that those who pre-order Halo 5: Guardians will get the special HUNTER-class armor set used by Spartan Jameson Locke.

The pre-order gear includes the Hunter-class armor set that includes the Watershed Division’s latest warfighting technology and the Hunter-class helmet that increases situation and threat awareness. Whether the gear actually does any of this in-game remains a mystery.

What we do know if some of the moves Locke showcases in the trailer. He uses a jetpack to fly out of harm's way and a ground pound move to create shockwaves and knock ground troops down.

Kalyx triaD 04-20-2015 10:54 PM

No, the gear will do nothing in-game, ScrewAttack. And Locke's moves are things we've done in the beta. Jesus.

Kalyx triaD 06-11-2015 04:13 PM

SUCK A FUCKING DICK

drave 06-11-2015 04:14 PM

No local co-op b/c of framerate.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo

Kalyx triaD 06-11-2015 04:39 PM

Well... here's hoping that multiplayer retains splitscreen. I'm noticing nobody is directly referring to PvP multiplayer.

That's hard times daddy.

drave 06-11-2015 08:58 PM

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.

Fignuts 06-12-2015 07:03 PM

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.

Fignuts 06-12-2015 07:05 PM

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.

drave 06-12-2015 10:10 PM

ME Remasters first or GTFO


Yea, I said it :shifty:

Kalyx triaD 06-13-2015 01:36 AM

ODST was added to MCC two weeks ago.

I am so ready for this. Might get the ultimate premium whatever package because of excitement

Kalyx triaD 06-18-2015 05:43 PM

I would advise people against those pricy editions. Always seemed over the top to me.

I like some special editions (got the MGS V one pre-ordered), but the Halo V one is hilarious. It comes with a steelbook... But the game included is a download code rather than a disc, rendering it pointless.

Emperor Smeat 06-24-2015 06:22 PM

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.

Quote:

Halo 5: Guardians bucks that trend. To nab all the pre-order bonuses, all you have to do is play the game. 343 Industries studio head Josh Holmes took to Twitter to explain the process. "ALL unlockable content can be earned by everyone. Pre-order just guarantees you have it out of box. No need to earn/unlock in game," he said.

It's a shame because you can no longer call MCC "the collection without the best two Halos"

Now it's just the Halo collection with every Halo except the best one.

Kalyx triaD 06-25-2015 02:56 PM

Reach should come soon enough. It's crazy to not have it now.

Emperor Smeat 08-04-2015 06:16 PM

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.

Quote:

A Microsoft representative at Gamescom let slip that Halo 5: Guardians campaign is allegedly twice as long as its predecessor.

The claim comes from a report by GamesRadar, who—after having played through a demo at the show—was relayed the information by an unnamed source. This is attributed, in part, to the the campaign spanning three different worlds: one Human, one Forerunner, and one Covenant.

If the report is true, Halo 5 will be a sizable experience. Users of game length tracking site How Long to Beat currently report an average completion time of around 8 hours, which could put 343′s latest in the 15- to 20-hour range, certainly on the upper end of what first-person shooters traditionally offer.
