Announcer sounds like an asshole.
It's Jeff Steitzer as always...?

They gave him a dumb robotic voice effect and articulate his words different.
Woe is me! Not a different direction in voice acting!

Not sure if it's just the old skeptic in me, but I don't like the kill times, they seem way too fast. The boosts and sprints seem awkward, but I think they might be able to work with a lot more effort put into them. The ground pond thing though. An abomination. I do like the lack of load outs though.

I was given a video. I commented on that video. I see nothing wrong with that.
As for not reading your post, guilty as charged.

It just seems odd that they would showcase a game mode like that... i mean, why give the cod crybabies some ammo, yknow?

Because you want to show off what's new for marketing purposes. The absolutely horrible thing, is that marketing and game design do not line up with each other most of the time. As a result, you usually need to show the things that are new to generate media interest.

Now, even if they did show off standard H5 gameplay (which they did), would that have really made a difference? Look at how goddamn childish the Halo community is. We're up in arms now because of a freaking zoom in animation.

You literally can not please this community unless everything looks like Halo 2 or 3.

>Hey guys, we're changing up Halo with Halo 4 it's going to be an arena/class shooter!
>"No! Halo is supposed to be an arena shooter! Remove loadouts, ordnance, and sprinting!"
>Okay, we'll do our best next time!
>Hey guys, here's some Halo 5 gameplay! It's an arena shooter without loadouts and ordnance. While sprinting is in, we're making sure it's heavily balanced! Also, there's some new features that spice up the gameplay!
>"No! Zoom can't have a different animation! Thruster pack and all those other abilities are unfair even if everyone has them!"
>MRW "..."

I'm legitimately convinced that the vocal majority in the Halo community truly do want a Halo 2/3 clone.

It's not the Halo I know anymore. It's a cool looking shooter, but it'll require me to play it before I accept it as a Halo game. I accepted Halo 4, day one, for still retaining classic Halo gunplay underneath all of the classes/specialization garbage. Here? Gameplay just doesn't seem to flow the same way as it did before, and it feels like something completely different. Perhaps I might enjoy it, but I'm skeptical.

That being said some complaints I've been hearing [as always with the complaints leveled at 343] are ridiculously off base. Specifically the ones about smart scope and "it's basically CoD!"

"Smart scope = broken game." I thought this too [you should have seen me raging at the Archive] until I saw the videos. Smart scope is there for a reason, and that was apparent to me the moment I watched the game in action: Quinn wants to remove auto aim/aim assist from Halo. Instead of having the traditional lock on auto aim we now have ADS for better precision.

"They're copying AW!" So... you're telling me their design philosophy for a game which 343 formally announced May of this year was influenced by... a game which was formally announced May of this year? And perhaps more importantly, the implementation of movement here is conceptually very different. AW is still a twitch shooter, just with more ways to get to the "twitching." Same goes for Titanfall, actually.

Like, if you look at the Vidoc and specifically at the part near the end where Quinn brags about killing a pro player, you see a player chaining his parkour abilities to form some next level strafe [which is quickly brought down by someone with sharp aim- and someone who's hip firing at that]. Movement and kill times seem to be built specifically to add into the golden triangle and help in actual gun engagements, and not to just affect map flow.

"But Goji, fast kill times => Call of Duty!" Fast kill times are fantastic for Halo PROVIDED they are difficult to pull off [as evidenced by CE]. "0.6 second TSK? Yeah that's fine, perfectly Halo. ~1.0 second FSK? Oh yeah CoD confirmed... ?"

Basically:

-I think the game looks weird. Certainly not mai Halo at a first glance
-Smart scope is intriguing
-Game seems to play nothing like CoD, or twitch based shooters as a whole
-Well, I just wasted like 5 minutes of my life typing this up

Not really. You're the first person who I can truly understand for feeling skeptical about the game.

Granted, I'm always looking at things from a lore perspective, so this looks more, and more like how I envisioned the universe.

Only thing I'm intrigued about is that the hump at the end of the magnum now looks to be their for aesthetic purposes, whereas before, it was a metal hood that protected the Magnum's Smart Scope. And now that Smart Scopes are being truly realized, I find it ironic that it appears there is no smartscope. Although I'd need to see the front of the gun to make a final judgement.

Moa is still totally right though [I think he was the one making the argument]. This would all make 72 times more sense if it was VR. Right now there are some pretty intense disconnects between gameplay and the real explanation.

PS we totally need a map built for Cobra. Call it "Doctor" and have the special Prophet's Bane power weapon be a pistol that only disintegrates arms.

Irrelevant. Its Halo: Advanced Warcock 5, and it looks exactly like I thought. Complete shit and implementing even more CoD mechanics ever.

Are you saying that Halo 5 is shaping up to be more and more of a Mass Effect game than a Halo game?

So if Halo 3 was a Class Shooter you wouldn't mind?

Thrusters and sprint are not mutually exclusive to CoD

So it's a copy of a game that was announced in the same month?
You're literally retarded.

Just because it has new features to freshen up the arena style FPS doesn't make it CoD. That's shit logic and you know it.

no, and Mass Effect is irrelevant anyway. It's above the games of peasants like CoD and Gaylo 5

Let's be honest here, that AR shouldn't have that range.

Do you ride the short bus?

Halo 5 isn't a class based twitch shooter, it's an equal starts arena shooter that has longer kill times than a twitch shooter.

>Implying it's copying a game that was announced around the same time
>Implying it plays anything like CoD without even playing it
I wasn't aware CoD was a hip shooter.

Halo 5 having features that are similar to something in AW in no way makes it CoD, and sprint in no way makes it CoD either.
Your logic is like that of a child's.

It's certainly more than previous Halos, but I don't know about "should" yet. AR seems to take up a whole new niche in H5. SMG seems like the old AR we know in terms of function. Gotta try it out first to see what it's like here.

But when you say "should" you bridge an is-ought gap, thus it becomes analysis instead of an observation and consequently disputable
