Best sci-fi FPS ever

I watched a video earlier today that showed the Chief hearing Cortana's voice and seeing her blue light in a cave like structure. The vertical gameplay and open level design looked incredible

Did anyone else see it before it was taken down by Microsoft?

4Scarrs_Gaming3152d ago

I totally agree the Halo series is the best sci-fi FPS ever, and from what I have seen and heard about Halo 5 we are going to be blown away! IMHO this is going to be game of the year its that good! I can hardly wait until October 27th.

sammarshall1023152d ago

I think we'll be blown away too and an even longer campaign than usual has me amped up

aviator1893152d ago

Haha, I was going to watch that video, but I think I'm at that point where I'm going full dark on the game when it comes to campaign details.
I do not want any major story details spoiled for me.

4Scarrs_Gaming3152d ago

you have that right! This is game is too good to spoil! Hurry up October 27th! Like the GreenDay song wake me up when October ends except this time a few days earlier :)

sammarshall1023152d ago

I gave in because I saw so many people bragging about how great the game is looking

Some of the areas in the campaign level required you to clamber and use your thrusters almost like a platformer, it looked really good

PistolsAtDawn3152d ago (Edited 3152d ago )

5? Probably closer to 50 :)

4Scarrs_Gaming3152d ago

I agree, but if I listed every single reason then I would have been writing for days :) I had a hard enough time with just 5 reasons.

LifeInNZ3152d ago

The intro cinematic, the single player and Warzone gameplay from E3 and Gamescon...I am so hyped for this game. Loved Halo 4 and Halo 5 looks to rival the best, if not be the best, in the series to date.

sammarshall1023152d ago

Halo 4 is my favorite Halo I loved the Mantis and the flying sections the most

The part where you escape the crumbling planet on the Ghost vehicle was great too

4Scarrs_Gaming3152d ago

I agree I think Halo 5 will be the best. I still have a place in my heart for the original though. Such a classic master piece. I love the Halo series!

Ginpachi-sama3152d ago

Nope not happening halo 3 stands above all its my fav and has my fav game soundtrack

4Scarrs_Gaming3152d ago

There isn't one Halo game that I don't like. But I am positive Halo 5 is going to be the best yet!!

OpieWinston3152d ago

Halo 3 is your favorite soundtrack?

It's a good soundtrack and Marty is god but I can pull up some amazing game scores. Best Halo soundtrack so far in my opinion is Halo 2.

IVanSpinal3152d ago

Halo 1 & 2 are from the same level.
Man, i love this intros: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Ginpachi-sama3152d ago

Its because i had the best memories when i was playing halo 3 and the soundtrack was pure eargasm I lost my interest in halo after 4 its a shame tho

terminallyCapricious3152d ago

Im hoping for a forge reveal before it releases. Something Kinda like the trailer that bungie did for reach forge world would be cool.

But overall im super excited for this game. Everything we've seen so far has been mind blowing. I cant wait to jump into the story.

Master Chief Became More Than A Machine In 343's Halo

In Halo 4, 5, and Infinite, Master Chief became a more nuanced, human character.

In spite of the Halo series’ struggles, 343 deserves praise for adding nuance and characterisation to the ever-beating heart of Halo - The Master Chief. Playing through Infinite, it's abundantly clear that the events of the current and previous trilogies have irrevocably changed the iconic hero. He’s no longer the ‘blank slate’ that was previously presented by Bungie. He’s a fatigued, damaged and fallible protagonist, and one who is meandering through currents of grief, while reveling in his newfound agency. Giving the Chief a compelling and meaningful voice was no small feat, and 343 should be proud of that victory.

This article completely misses part of the appeal of the original iteration of character in the original game trilogy. It was the Chief and Cortana vs an entire alien collective. The blank slate Bungie displayed in their games was genius, he was an mysterious hero a wide audience could identify with because he wasn't as clearly defined as most characters.

The books added a lot of lore and backstory but most Halo players just want a fun game with exposition that doesn't get in the way of gameplay, it's why the Cortana level in Halo 3 was derided.

Not every character has to be a damaged soyboy, a soldier has to suck it up and do his duty.

BandarHub407d ago

A lot of people give the 343 version of Master Chief a lot of slack.
But Fundamentally he is still the same character, he just has a couple more dialogues. He has not changed in terms of attitude.
"Not every character has to be a damaged soyboy, a soldier has to suck it up and do his duty."
And that's what he has done at the end of the day, he did his duty. Watch his partner die, and was ready to destroy the weapon in Halo infinite....he is still the same soilder that everyone remembers

Halo Infintes one was a nice balance between both.

slate91407d ago

Chief and the halo franchise became a joke under 343

Sciurus_vulgaris407d ago

The 343i Master Chief has is based on the books. However, in Halo 4-Infinite, the Master Chief overtime become. gradually becomes more willing to show some emotion.

Obscure_Observer407d ago

"However, in Halo 4-Infinite, the Master Chief overtime become. gradually becomes more willing to show some emotion."

Which is awesome! I love how Master Chief become more John and less soldier.

I didn’t even notice my typos,lol

I mean, the deal is alright… Unfortunately for me the Serious S doesn’t have a disk drive and unfortunately for Gamestop a lot of those games are on or have been on Gamepass/PSNow.

Sgt_Slaughter648d ago

Given the nature of backwards compatibility on new systems, this is a great sale in case you missed out on some gems from last gen.

Mandingo2020648d ago

Most of the games on Xbox are on game pass. The Switch games in this sale are trash c'mon farming simulator that's laughable. The PS4 games should be cheaper. I can't wait for the GameStop going out of business liquidation sale.

neutralgamer1992648d ago

Seriously man I don't get the hate on GS and I guess you want even less options and give more control to the publishers

And you want thousands of people to lose their jobs because you don't like a company. One thing I have noticed is how most who hate on GS haven't shopped at the actual stores in years. Many who hate on GS have also done so listening to others negative stories or experiences. People on YT want clicks and hating on GS is the cool thing

SurgicalMenace648d ago

It's not people's hate that would lose people's jobs, it's the shady business practices of the company. So what you're saying is that because people work there individuals should just support what they don't want to? Sound advice; Hitler too had supporters, employees, and advocates but people go around hating him too. They only hate because of other people's bad stories or experiences; they only spoke bad about him because they wanted attention. It's been decades; lets give his way another go. With your logic anything could be made to sound good.🤷🏾‍♂️

neutralgamer1992647d ago

SurgicalMenace

Seriously you used Hitler as an example to say company has shady practices

You don't have to shop at GS there are many other retailers. I shop there and vast majority of my experiences have been positive and most of the employees are super nice

SurgicalMenace647d ago

Just having some fun, bro.🤣🤣

Mandingo2020647d ago

There are other places to work besides GS. Plus, their benefits are trash so why not work somewhere else?

REDGUM648d ago

And none of those game you speak of you actually own as they are digital not physical & would cost more than $20 as the subscription costs more than that.

Mandingo2020647d ago (Edited 647d ago )

You know you can get game pass ultimate codes for the low on cdkeys or g2a right? You don't need to have a subscription 😂. GS is trash and I'd rather support the mom and pop game store here instead.

BlackTar187648d ago

Why are you people so full of hate? GameStop gives people jobs and provides a physical appearance to see things in the flesh and not just some soulless online experience.

Mandingo2020647d ago

You can get physical at mom and pop game stores plus you can get it online. GS is trash

neutralgamer1992647d ago

Because Mom and Pop shops cost two to three times more for the same product Angie the answer

BlackTar187647d ago (Edited 647d ago )

Mom and pop stores cost more and have even harder time competing against the internet. Also lie to me and tell you have a couple mom and pop stores near you selling games then lie and tell me you shop there.

IanTH648d ago

These sales, while potentially great, really struggle to be valuable given you can't easily parse what games are in stock. You can't just say "only show what is online & what are in my nearby stores". Probably 60-75% of these games in these massive lists are out of stock for shipping, and out of stock locally. It makes it a chore to find anything you'd want, much less 4 of them, much less enough if you wanted to get to a free shipping tier. It's a bummer.

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic718d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

AuraAbjure718d ago

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

ChubbyBlade717d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure717d ago (Edited 717d ago )

Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.
