That subtitle just gives off a weird "scraping the barrel" vibe to me. They're trying to turn it into this space odyssey that Halo has never really been about, with Masterchief as a superhero, which again, he's not.


I have real trouble mustering any excitement at all about a 343i Halo game. They just seem to be turning it into something weird that just isn't Halo. Halo 4 is the first one I haven't even bothered playing because every time I try to get excited about it I watch some videos and the Prometheans just look terrible.



Dunno what the guy/girl above Chief is but if it's the evil dude from Halo 4 in a Spartan suit or something, then Halo is kill.

I remember the days when there'd at least be a fake CGI trailer.


That's for E3.

You've come to an awful lot of assumptions based on a game cover harry. :lol:

When Spencer teased on twitter a couple of announcements in May a while ago I didn't think it would be as big as we've been getting :lol: Cboat had started leaking on GAF so maybe they got it out early. E3 sounds like it's going to be crazy.

From the image and the lack of a definite Master Chief it could be some massive open world thing using the dedicated servers with your own character. We shall see in a few weeks.

IMO if Harry is right, that would be for the best. I know a lot of people like Halo because of the multiplayer, but I'm not keen on multiplayer and got fed up with Halo so something new and fresh would be best.

So you got fed up with Halo, MS should drop their biggest franchise? :o

Where did I say that? I'm saying a new direction would be better, i.e. Harry's fears wouldn't necessarily lead to something bad.

Well... What kind of direction? Bit vague...

Megaton anyway would be a Halo MMO, or WoW coming to X1... cant see either happen.

Judging from that image, I'd say you play as both Master Chief (who has gone AWOL) and a Spartan of your own design who is hunting him down.

So do we think with the wording of "Starting in 2014" to mean that the Halo TV series will tie into Halo 5?

Also the other Spartan looks like Samus :dread:

Looks like the armour you wear in Reach to me.

Well, Halo 4 was pretty much an action orientated Metroid. Think tha's why I liked it so much :wub:

Halo 5: Guardians is the thrilling new instalment in the Halo® franchise. When Master Chief is turned into a girl he discovers the only way to reverse this terrible affliction is to find and consume as much Mountain Dew® and Doritos® as he can. Available on Xbox One Autumn 2015

I'll tell you who she is. In this age of inclusiveness she is Halo's female Shepard! It's a multi-million pound franchise that will now have a starring role for a female protagonist.

Maybe "Forward Unto Dawn Part 2" ties into Halo 2, probably less likely that the Spielberg TV series ties into Halo 5. I'd assume they'd want to give the showrunners and writers more creative freedom for what they hope is a 7 season series.

Odds on it being Cortana?

I think Cortana is a good guess. It would mean 343i could avoid upsetting gamers who don't like a new character stuck in the game. Also, the visor light does look a Cortana shade of blue.
