Damm couldn't edit:

The offscreen pics above are a little blurry but this vid does a better job showing off the awesome details in the Spartan armor.

* I like it. It's clean, basic and straight to the point without all the messiness of other menus.

trywizardo3330d ago

"Leaked" xD
but the game really does look awesome , but what about team death match , how much players ? is it still 8 vs8 ?!

Mostafeto3330d ago

We will need to wait on info regarding that.

MetroidFREAK213330d ago

"But... But... The game is rated Teen... Like it can't be good..."

Jesus, you have no idea how much I want to punch those people in the face for giving any sorts of thought about a game rating... If that stops you from playing the game... Then just stop playing games in general...

N0TaB0T3330d ago

Halo had always been the intensely-emotional story/game than intensely-violent. Sure, the Flood is the nightmare of abominations, but none of it called for the biased 'M' rating.

The software rating boards are finally getting the hint.

TotalSynthesisX3330d ago (Edited 3330d ago )

Every Halo game save for Wars, Spartan Assault and Spartan Strike have been rated M.

On topic though, I really like the menu. It's very sleek and clean.

OC_MurphysLaw3330d ago

Man that looks slick...can't wait.

Mostafeto3330d ago

It looks really neat and well put together with easy access to everything. Just the way I like it

Nice! first bloodborne and now this

RaidenBlack10d ago

yep ... hope Fable II, Uncharted Trilogy and Gears Trilogy gets the same treatment

Chocoburger10d ago

Ooh, I always wanted to try Crimson Dragon, this has my interest.

crazyCoconuts10d ago

Isn't this the foundation for your next Xbox?
This is exactly what some of us have been talking about...a way to bridge existing console users into a Xbox branded PC

crazyCoconuts10d ago

I mean.... It would be the end of Xbox.
But at least you'll have a way to play the games you've paid for on new hardware

porkChop10d ago

How is this the foundation for the next Xbox?

Profchaos10d ago

It's been talked about by industry insiders that the next Xbox will not be a Xbox as we know it (traditional closed ecosystem) but more in line with the steamdeck and would allow multiple marketplaces and such as steam to run on it like how the ru has forced iOS to adopt outside marketplaces.

In short think of the nextbox to be more like a steamdeck and less like a xbox

neutralgamer199210d ago

I am just astonished that MS wants to make as much money as Xbox as possible yet so many of their older games aren’t on PC

Goodguy0110d ago

The only halo game I've never played lol. (Asides the wars games)

Software_Lover10d ago

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!

You definitely need to buy Halo MCC.

Elit3Nick10d ago

He said it's the only one he didn't play, so he played all the games that are on MCC

ChasterMies10d ago

Halo 5 is the only Halo game that is not worth playing.

HankHill10d ago

Man, you're on a roll with 💩 opinions.

PhillyDonJawn10d ago

Campaign was trash but the MP is arguably the best in the series. Refreshing combat while staying true to the Halo vibe.

Software_Lover10d ago

Obviously I needed a snicker as I can't read when I'm hungry lol. My apologies.

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.

BandarHub554d 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.

slate91554d ago

Chief and the halo franchise became a joke under 343

Sciurus_vulgaris554d 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_Observer554d 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_Slaughter795d 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.

Mandingo2020795d 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.

neutralgamer1992795d 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

SurgicalMenace795d 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.🤷🏾‍♂️

neutralgamer1992795d 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

SurgicalMenace794d ago

Just having some fun, bro.🤣🤣

Mandingo2020794d ago

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

REDGUM795d 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.

Mandingo2020794d ago (Edited 794d 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.

BlackTar187795d 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.

Mandingo2020794d ago

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

neutralgamer1992794d ago

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

BlackTar187794d ago (Edited 794d 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.

IanTH795d 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.
