Halo 5: Guardians

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/05/16/halo-5-guardians-announced

I didn't get into Halo 4 as much as I wish I did. Lets see how Halo next gen goes!

Guardians huh? The name would take a new meaning if the X-Box One still had DRM.

That blue-visored Spartan looks pretty cool though. If he's gonna be some kind of rival to Chief, hopefully he or whoever the main antagonist is doesn't have an anticlimactic end like the Didact did in 4.

And still waiting for that Halo 2 Anniversary.

Me thinks it could be a Spartan 4/Multiplayer version of the player.

But a rival and stuff would be really cool. Wanna see Chief throwdown with another super powered being.

I just... don't understand the point of someone wearing a cloak while garbed in power armor.

The coolness. Plus maybe he is trying to keep a low profile(as low a profile a giant 8-9 foot, ton weighting power armored man can be)

Maybe his armor finally reached it's limit to how many times he can fall down to a planet/Halo ring, leaving parts of his body exposed to the harsh sand and needs protection hence the cloak.

How would it turn out if a Halo game is like Lost Planet only instead of trying to survive blizzards, you have to survive sandstorms I wonder.

Most/all of the map dlc will be free. This is obviously a peace offering for catastrophe that was the MCC, but I appreciate the gesture all the same.

The Guardians are giant Forerunner Bird constructs seen in the trailer. The plot is that Master Chief and Blue Team are apparently AWOL and Jameson Locke/(The Guy in blue) is supposed to track them with the help of Fireteam Osiris (which so includes Buck from ODST). The Covenant and Prometheans return in this game.

I'm very interested in this Warzone mode.

Splitscreen in Halo is officially dead. Stupid move.

So many people talking about their disappointed wives.

Yeah, sure lol.

About time.

Yeah, I don't like map vote. I like playing a various amounts of maps.

Bought it and it's a lot of fun.

It's smooth, the sound is absolutely fantastic and multiplayer works flawlessly. I tried a few games of Arena and I still ****ing suck but I was starting to get into it. I enjoy how it's a bit old school and I have a good feeling I will be playing for awhile.

Man, I do want the Elite controller though but it's all sold out and I will probably feel like an idiot for paying about $200 for a controller....

Multiplayer is incredible, best since Halo 2, balanced, smooth, map design is excellent

Campaign is...well it's good but none of the concepts from the marketing campaign like Chief being a traitor or ONI being involved was actually in the game

Hey don't continue that conversation, I haven't finished yet.

I find it interesting regarding campaigns. The story itself does seem to be as good as some games but the mission structure is good. I enjoy how the missions play out. They are a lot more immersive and offer a lot of awesome opportunities to flank and defeats peeps.

In my opinion, campaigns is equal parts story and mission and map design. GameSpot reviewed Halo 5 and had issues with story but loved pretty much everything else and gave it an 8 yet....they gave Phantom Pain a 10 even though they have said the story is a piece of shit including mission design. I find it interesting on how some games can criticize while others do not for the same thing.

Personally, I having a ton of fun playing the campaign and while the story doesn't feel as great as it can be, the mission design and map design are incredible. I love how open the levels are and the movements they added are a much needed boost for the game. ****ing love jumping, flying to get to areas that provide me the ability to control the field. It's great.

I've held off on buying this and Assassins Creed since Fallout is right around the corner. I'll probably get this more down the line
