Halo 5: Launch Gameplay Trailer

Did 343 finally turn it around? Can I finally play a Halo game again?

I want to belieeeeeeeve

The other day I was thinking about how unbelievable how excited I am for Halo 5. After Halo 4 I swore that I wouldn't touch Halo again if they didn't make drastic changes. And I figured that they'd be stubborn to the core about their vision and would never stop chasing the CoD crowd. But here we are.

Its crazy that a 400+ person studio actually listened to their brand's hardcore following and adjusted their trajectory.

I agree, I'm hesitant to say it because it was a small sample, but I think the beta in Jan. was my favorite slice of Halo MP ever.
 
I for one cannot wait till all of you are ranked.... and we find out how scrub lord worthy you really are!

I'm sure Frank will accompany many in this great journey to Silver Tier

I'm still hesitant, but I'll more than likely end up buying this provided we have pubstomping groups going. As much as I dislike basically everything 343 has done with the franchise, Halo 5 looks like a step in the right direction. Haven't spent much time with a Halo game in 3 years. Thought I moved on but a good FPS sounds really fun.

I loved the beta.
 
That. Was. Fucking. Hype.

When the fuck is the 20th. I wanna set up and stare at my console for a week.

Thanks to the digital preorder, I already got it pinned to my homescreen.

now i'm looking for a place that might ship it before the weekend prior to the 27th, because afterwards i'll be swamped at work (and I live in the fear of getting a weekend shift right after it releases).

Remember when Halo-GAF said Adrift was great at PAX? Yeah I do.

I'm not gonna make any comments about the multiplayer until I sit down and play at least 100 games.

Adrift and Haven are two of the best Halo maps ever made. Any other opinion on that can only be described as narrow minded.
 
So does Buck die, get rebuilt with robot parts, and then get put into witness protection under the name Cayde 6?

Come on, that beta was great. Even on that sparse map list.

This basically mirrors my thoughts. I'm still sceptical but everything I've seen from Halo 5 looks good and the changes that have been made to the gameplay seem like great changes.

It's good to be able to care about a Halo game again.

I played something absurd like 600 games of the beta, it was amazing.

This time the positive feedback is from dozens of people who have played the beta unlike with Halo 4. I'd chalk the positive Halo 4 impressions to fanboy excitement and missing important gameplay details that a person will miss when only playing a small slice of the game for a short period of time.
 
At least the Muse track isn't in the game...

I really wonder if Marty actually wanted / had anything to do with that Breaking Benjamin and Incubus track making their way into Halo 2.

Incubus, probably not. But Breaking Benjamin was used as the backbone for the entire Mombassa Suite in Halo 2 and Halo 3.
