Damn you're quick lol.
By Wahrer Go To PostHalo's just one big retelling of every religious text thrown into a washing machine anyways
Children abducted by a government organization, genetically and mechanically enhanced, trained as super-soldiers to suppress political dissidents on other planets, super-soldiers that later faught an invading alien army, and zombies, which led to the discovery of an ancient alien race and it's subsequent reemergence and battle.
Holy shit friend, I don't know what your religion is, but it's a lot cooler than mine and I want in, NAOW!!!
You guys should throw some Wikipedia-esque "donate to keep us running, fam" ads up top as an extension of the navbar.

They probably thought their faiths were much cooler than reality when they started inventing those, too. Talking snakes and six-armed naked blue ladies entertained simpler people.
Finally watched that Blue Team footage. Really dug it. Loved the chatter between Spartans and the verticality of the level-design. Hope there are more levels in the same vein of The Silent Cartographer, etc that get back to that CE exploration feel.
I'm pretty proud of myself for resisting the temptation to watch both the leaked Vidoc and this Blue Team footage. Managed to avoid that extended Uncharted 4 demo too.

By J-Twelve Go To PostTalking snakes and six-armed naked blue ladies entertained simpler people.No talking snake, but Halo has talking balls. Is that better? And "naked blue ladies" are ALWAYS awesome, don't knock the naked blue ladies.
Not sure if anyone is still trying to find the Blue Team footage, but here's a link:

Some of those ambient string bits sound very CE / Halo 2, though the Arbiter's theme feels a little out of place... I mean, I guess he is kind of the crux of Jul's mooks still being there, though.
By Wahrer Go To PostSome of those ambient string bits sound very CE / Halo 2, though the Arbiter's theme feels a little out of place… I mean, I guess he is kind of the crux of Jul's mooks still being there, though.I thought that choice was a little odd too, but I like the more classic feel to it. Would be cool if Blue Team had a more traditional Halo sound and Osiris was more digital in the Halo 4 sense (if that makes sense).
By Mdot Go To PostI thought that choice was a little odd too, but I like the more classic feel to it. Would be cool if Blue Team had a more traditional Halo sound and Osiris was more digital in the Halo 4 sense (if that makes sense).They've said that's pretty much what we're getting.
Blue team has quite a classic theme to it whereas Osiris has a more militaristic modern theme. I don't know if they've said whether or not the digital style from 4 will be coming back in any form. I hope they include it in some areas.

Have you watched Another Period at all? She's in it. Check it out.

Hopefully we get that official Vidoc soon, some Forge info, more map reveals, etc. Should be an influx pretty soon. I am excite.

I know, I know, somebody already kitbashed it and it's too fuckhuege to actually use. Let me dream.
Anyway, I'm curious to see how Hood and Cortana play, and even moreso about the Covenant guys.

Oh wow, this sounds promising. From that Canon Fodder:

Gimmegimmegimme
“Future fleets and warships were discussed at length during GenCon meetings. We will – of course - be seeing the Infinity in UNSC fleets, but that will be releasing with a wave of post-War craft seen in Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians – including the svelte Sangheili Man O’ War and heavily-armed Strident-class frigates! These will alter the balance of power within the fleets as the delta in technology between the Covenant and UNSC becomes smaller, but will also open new opportunities to play out critical battles between the resurgent Covenant and the Arbiter’s Swords of Sanghelios!”
Also:
“Whether the parasitical Flood would appear in Halo: Fleet Battles was a very common question (#2 after inquiries regarding release schedule), and the answer to that is: only if we can do them right. Making Flood simply the “boarding party faction” isn’t terribly interesting and doesn’t do them justice. After a lot of brainstorming with the Spartan Games crew we hit on a set of mechanics that can make them both thematically interesting and fictionally consistent, but it will take a lot of playtesting to ensure balance and fun. Flood-specific ship models are not planned at this time, but I would not discount the talented folks at Spartan Games creating something super-cool. The faction will use existing ships in new and unique ways, with special overlays and game mechanics that reflect their hive-mind and puppeteering abilities. Resin add-on "infestation kits" to show Flood growths are also possible.”

Lore can take a back seat. Give me more MP info. I want to play the game and actually have stuff to learn about and experience myself.
New bulletin video but it was meh. The Plaza stuff was just Jay talking over the same clips we've already seen of the map for like 5 seconds.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostWell, since they haven't said anything about HTT s2 in a while, that must mean that they've abandoned it.Nice shitpost bruv.

What is this BS?
"hey guys get excited for new Halo 5 map reveal preview in next Halo bulletin"
It's like 20 seconds long and he's just talking over the B-roll footage from MONTHS ago. No new footage. With The Rig feature in the previous Bulletin we at least got a new flythrough of the map.
Come on 343. Step it up. I was looking forward to seeing more of Plaza too.

Medals, boss kills, team objectives... They all advance your REQ level in a match. Even REQ level gained in a match gives you access to tiers of weapons, which include base weapons and the weapon "skin" variants you unlock via REQ cards from completing/winning matches.
That's how I've understood it so far anyway haha

For example: I guess we get a stack of Warthog cards? We can use those if our req is high enough?

Every player has access to an infinite number of the basic vehicles and weapons. Some REQ cards that are not deemed "power weapons" are infinite, but things like a Legendary Energy Sword will be single-use and will be consumed when you access it via a REQ station.
To go into greater detail...
REQ cards that are enhanced/customized versions of the BR/AR/DMR/magnum/what-have-you? Those are infinite. REQ Cards that are enhanced Energy Swords, Rocket Launchers, Sniper Rifles (maybe not Sniper Rifles...), SAWs, etc., those will be single-use. So those pre-order bonuses, such as the AR with the skin and the scope and the bayonet, that is a REQ card that will be infinite-use since it's a custom AR and the AR is a standard issue weapon.
It will be much easier to understand once we see it in-game.

Did you play Titanfall or Mass Effect 3 at all? This is a sort of spiritual sibling to those games' style of card packs/use.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostDid you play Titanfall or Mass Effect 3 at all? This is a sort of spiritual sibling to those games' style of card packs/use.No, I didn't. I suppose I'll get it as time goes on. I just haven't had any experience really with the system. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
