just crazy.
so curious about the campaign now.

MelvinTheGreat3307d ago

Safe to say everyone's mind is blown at this point. Hell i was even suprised the commercial aired during the walking dead

badz1493307d ago

Mind blown? Seriously, how? It's just a short CGI ad with no action or whatsoever. I'm trying my best not to sound like trolling but although admittedly I'm not a fan, can you please tell me how this is anywhere near mind blowing? This is a 100% honest request.

spicelicka3307d ago

@badz149

The hype is in the potential for how the story will turn out to be. If you've ever been hyped for a game or movie in your life you can understand. Obviously you don't know the story so you have no interest, but those of us who have been following the huge and deep story of Halo for so many years it's BIG DEAL!

Also it tells us that the campaign might have two playable sides, one from Locke's side, one from Chief's side.

GenuineGamer3307d ago

@badz149

Because its a teaser into what the campaign will be about. Not that hard to understand really it looks great.

Gameplay at e3 probably if that's what tickles your fancy.

LonDonE3307d ago

Agreed, MIND OFFICIALLY BLOWN!! defo i have now gone bananas!
And was that the release date at the bottom? 27/10/15? lord all mighty i cant wait to smash through the Halo 5 single player.

I have to say i LOVE MICROSOFTS HYPE MACHINE!!
They really are masters at marketing thier big franchises and movig units.

Its wierd, no matter how much i see people hating on the xbox one, no matter how many blunders ms has made this generation so far, no matter the fact that i always buy every platform every generation and so have lots to play, I JUST LOVE MY XBOX ONE!!! there i said it

Seriously its a great little console, yes it has flaws as does EVERYTHING but regardless i find myself rooting for the underdog!
I have this feeling that Halo 5 will be the first xbox one game which will truly show us how powerful the x1 is!

I swear i spend more time gaming and using the media capabilities of my x1 the most vs my wiiu, ps4 and pc.
Even now its a complete different console to what was launched and being in the preview program makes me realise that this console will be so much better over time, as am sure the ps4 will too.
I think these consoles, the PS4,X1 WiiU are seriously underrated and being underestimated!

With time i think we will see these consoles shine and give us some real gems.

All i can say is with zelda wii u delayed, and uncharted 4 delayed Halo 5 is going to be my big fall game.
Thanks ms for not letting us down!!
Game on my fellow gamers, and remember All platforms are great.

oasdada3307d ago (Edited 3307d ago )

@spicelicka..

im also a big halo fan specially halo2.. got all achievements for halo3 and currently waiting for halo5.. but in all honesty.. i wudnt exactly call halo's story "DEEP" specially how halo4 can be categorized as a "Filler" where it feels pretty obvious halo3 was the end of the story arc.. but still this indeed is pretty intriguing.. hope there is a much more deeper narrative this time around as im mainly a single player gamer and as much as i hate to admit that ive outgrown halo's tedious campaign i still want this one to transcend to the next level like i always wanted it to after halo2. there is so much lost potential with halo chief's abilities and character they can tap into. no one can deny Master cheif is one of the greatest baddasses in videogame history!

4Sh0w3307d ago (Edited 3307d ago )

Whoa...I just saw the other trailer, now Im wondering what the hell is going on????

@spicelicka yeah seems like its guaranteed you will play as both, which now makes perfect sense given the "hunt for the truth" ads= I hope they feel different with some unique abilities. I also agree those who haven't been diehard Halo fans since the original may not get why this news is very exciting.

AngelicIceDiamond3307d ago

"I'm trying my best not to sound like trolling but although admittedly I'm not a fan,"

Well then Halo fans don't need to explain anything to you then.

Gotcha53307d ago (Edited 3307d ago )

So I guest it's true when Mike Colter spill the beans about his character Agent Locke having a big part in Halo 5 Guardians. Sounds like the campaign may have a 2 way plot twist to it, but my concern is will the Arbiter play a big part as well.

Great job MS for placing Halo 5 commercial during The Walking Dead Season Finale. Now can we get an AMC app... they have some good shows coming.

nix3307d ago

so basically.. there are two sides to the story.

if you watch the second one.. it is kind of mind bending.

i wouldn't say - mind blowing though.

if it was a PS exclusive, i would have still said the same.

JonnyBadfinger3307d ago

Holy SHIT!
As someone who has read all the books all the games, all the minigames i am gobsmacked! i am so hyped... i shouldnt have watched the trailer. this seems like the kind of story you get from the books. not the games. Speechless really.

Bring it 343i i cant wait.

Now THIS, was a commercial!

garrettbobbyferguson3306d ago (Edited 3306d ago )

Chief should have had a quarter of the speaking he did in this commercial. They've giving him an air of humanity he doesn't have which ruins his character. It's the reason why commercials such as this one I'm linking were so amazing. Those simple two words with his actions were much more powerful than that boring monologue.

AngelicIceDiamond3307d ago

MS gettin the campaigne goin for this game reaally early. Must be the biggest Halo if that's the case.

kraenk123307d ago

Or they are just advertising the console because there is nothing else for the next few months.

christocolus3307d ago

I need this game now. I need it NOW.I cant take it anymore......

Genuine-User3307d ago (Edited 3307d ago )

So we have got Locke's side and Chief's. Now we just need the truth.

Bigpappy3307d ago

I wonder if they will make you play both sides to find out what the truth really is? Guess I'll have to wait to find out. Will gladly do that.

BinaryMind3307d ago

Yeah, let's play the same game twice. Sounds like a riveting campaign.

3307d ago
OC_MurphysLaw3307d ago

I am inclined to think there are going to be player choices that will impact direction of the story kinda like Mass Effect 3

BecauseImBatman3307d ago (Edited 3307d ago )

Isn't it obvious the truth is what you make of it...

I think both Chief and Locke will be both playable characters and there will be multiple endings to Halo 5.

"There are 2 sides to every story." - good vs bad is all a matter of perspective and not everything is so black and white. So this would lead me to believe there is multiple endings... and 343 have just shown us the outcome (not literally) of both. Perhaps there leaving it up to us to determine who the bad guy is and who the good guy is...

Chief and Locke are two sides of the same coin.
There is two sides, two truths, two stories, two characters...

Thefreeman0123307d ago

good shout out sir, smart money is on your synopsis for sure

GenuineGamer3307d ago

@becauseImBatman

I hope you are right because that sounds awesome!

Shelkm3307d ago

I hate to say it but there can only be one ending. The Halo Universe moves in one direction. The next game can't be based off of two endings / different deaths or whatever way this game goes.

BecauseImBatman3307d ago (Edited 3307d ago )

@Shelkm

Maybe your right maybe there is only one ending but that doesn't mean there isn't two paths to that ending, after all we don't see (or hear) either characters pull the triggers and the end of each Ad. There is no denying the emphasis on both of the characters and there different perspectives...

"Two sides to every story"

And the caption for the second trailer:

"oןɐɥ# ɥʇnɹʇǝɥʇʇunɥ# ˙ʎɹoʇs ʎɹǝʌǝ oʇ sǝpıs oʍʇ ǝɹɐ ǝɹǝɥʇ "
is a mirror of
"there are two sides of every story #huntthetruth #halo"

just like the Chief is a mirror of Locke in the first image they released last year: http://popcultureblog.dalla...

Chief and Locke are two sides of the same coin.
There is two sides, two truths, two stories, two characters... possibly two endings ?

AngelicIceDiamond3307d ago

@Bat Great Synopsis indeed. A way different take on any of the previous Halo's so far.

cl19833307d ago

It's going to be like halo 2 with a converging story line.

Chief its you? masterchief join to the darkside =(

nicksetzer13307d ago (Edited 3307d ago )

Holy .... crap. Things just got real.

My hype level just rose through the roof. I hope this is a hint that Halo 5 is going to give players choices that will drastically change the outcome of the game. Sounds freaking amazing. Mass effect structure meets halo's legendary gameplay mechanics.

GCO Gamer3307d ago

I'm confused, and I don't know if I can wrap my head around any of this. But, I like this video more so any the other one.

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.

BandarHub399d 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.

slate91399d ago

Chief and the halo franchise became a joke under 343

Sciurus_vulgaris399d 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_Observer399d 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_Slaughter640d 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.

Mandingo2020640d 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.

neutralgamer1992640d 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

SurgicalMenace640d 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.🤷🏾‍♂️

neutralgamer1992639d 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

SurgicalMenace639d ago

Just having some fun, bro.🤣🤣

Mandingo2020639d ago

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

REDGUM640d 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.

Mandingo2020639d ago (Edited 639d 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.

BlackTar187640d 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.

Mandingo2020639d ago

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

neutralgamer1992639d ago

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

BlackTar187639d ago (Edited 639d 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.

IanTH640d 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.

10 Best Halo Games

NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - There are many games in the famous Halo Franchise that are stellar titles and need to be revered. And some that do not. These games stand out from the crowd and deluge of colossal Halo titles. Games that made Halo great. We do need to iron out what qualifies the game for this list. They have to be in the Halo franchise… Obviously.

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic710d ago

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

AuraAbjure710d ago

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

ChubbyBlade709d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure708d ago (Edited 708d 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.
