Author Topic: Halo Megathread: 2 new trailers for Halo 5 have been released. 10/27/2015  (Read 15124 times)

This looks awesome! Waiting impatiently for US news.

you guys do notice the text is in english

this is worldwide release, i would assume.

Putin trying to rule the world through the games industry.
Just saying. :P

Weapons that can give an advantage and can't be earned in-game = Not okay to sell
Welp, did some digging and stopped the trailer in some areas.
Now if you take a closer look, during the gameplay you will notice that the weapons are split into separate categories.
There are different models, or distortions, from each category. Lets look at the Ma5b assault rifle for example.
Damage - More damage.
ROF(Rate of fire) -More bullets per minute.
Accuracy -The accuracy of your shots.
Stock -Unedited form of the weapon, your classic assault rifle.
And Mag- More ammo.

Now, realistically it seems like you should be able to get these with in game currency and a hefty grind session. That's not the case here because it seems you have to buy modifications for EVERY GUN IN EXISTANCE if you want a different weapon.

There are also minor differences with sounds and such. The red plasma rifle fires blue bolts, the smg sounds like the early version of the SAW in the halo 4 early build.
Some of the armors are completely made up, such as the "mongoose" chest piece. The spike grenade sounds like the plasma grenade countdown in the halo 2 trailer.

So far, I don't see any elite player models which worries me. Elite armor was cool.
There is a level progression system, you get xp buy killing players and assisting objectives.
Player movements look jittery and unresponsive at times.
No needler? No fuel rod? Pretty much half the covenant arsenal is non existent (no footage of it).

Probably.

If I recall correctly, correct me if I'm wrong, this a closed beta test, not a full release. You may be right, but I wouldn't make these assumptions when there's not even an official release date yet.

i was super excited until i found out it was russian only GOD loving DAMNIT WHY

the only reason they're doing this in russia is because (obviously) the xbox one isn't as popular there as it is in the US or the rest of europe. the underlying reason for this (and the reason why the game is F2P) is because people really don't want to spend money on video games there. so they just nickel and dime the video games in a f2p system, which is better than just getting it pirated.

i don't really expect anything out of this game anyways.

Q:           Will gamers in other regions like North America and Europe be able to play Halo Online?

A:            Right now our focus is on learning as much as we can from the closed beta period in Russia. Theoretically, any expansion outside of Russia would have to go through region-specific changes to address player expectations.

it's never coming to north america or europe. maybe china or other asian nations. the game would infringe on the console halos too much.

Ok? And? That's all the more reason that they'd be afraid of it stepping on a console game's toes, lol.

someones jelly that someone goes to a school where half the bathrooms are locked off!!1!

i dont understand why they would let a couple hundred people in russia get it and NOT release it in a country like the U.S where you have a bigger fanbase
or better yet give us a simultaneous release date, that way no one has to wait

or EVEN BETTER, just give us a halo 3 port
