Halo 5 – Behind the Scenes

I know I have practically vowed to stay away from Xbox for the moment, but it is still nice to reminiscence about the many hours of enjoyment certain games like Halo have provided over the years. Since Halo 3, the franchise has felt…burned out. At least on the online side of things. Everything felt like a clone of 3 as they attempted to squeeze its success for everything they can. A little light inside shines in hope that Halo 5 will bring it back.

We will have to wait until later in 2015 to know for sure (when the game will be ready for launch). There are new Spartan abilities, better graphics and the obvious chance that this game will only be available on the Xbox One.

Since I still have a pile of games I haven’t even touched yet in my position, it’s best to assume that it is going to be awhile before I invest into the new system. I have also enjoyed my escape from the game world by filling it with friends, traveling, hiking and so much more. I guess I may just have to wait to see what you other games feel about the game before I dive in 🙂

  6. vader226

    Yknow, I was worried that this was going to be really CoDified, but it
    actually looks pretty fun. Can’t wait to try it.

  7. gr33ncar

    the part where you jump into the arena looks cheesy, and i still dont like
    the fact we have armor abilities

  8. rook Eye

    this gameplay looks spot on. I really love the look of everything. I know a
    lot of fake fans will bitch about it but I hope not too much changes from
    this

  9. Darth Vader

    Coming from a Halo vet since CE, this could either be really good or really
    bad. I can’t judge until I try the beta though.

  10. John Sheppard

    soo for all the bullshit complaining whiner fuckers…. dear assholes what
    if it looks more like titanfall or call of duty, WHAT… YOU JUST WANT TO
    TO WALk AND SHOT, i looooooooveeeeee thissssssss shittttttt is how i expect
    it will become, AND BY THE WAY COD COPY EVERYTHING FROM THE FIRST 1ST
    PERSON SHOOTER THRUSTERS PACK IS FROM HALO REACH AND COD SHIT COPY IT FROM
    TITANFALL, SCOOPING TOO, IN THE WORLD THERE IS HALO AND ALL OTHER SHIT IS
    JUST CRAP,

  11. TheChewyness

    Eww… something different.

    Edit: This comment appears to be too difficult to decipher, so let me
    clarify; I welcome the change 343 is bringing to the table. This satirical
    comment was meant to mock those who go apeshit at the first mention of
    something new. I’m sorry for any confusion.

  12. cosmicspider2

    Here they come.

  13. Fractali1

    he said if we say smart scope is op then the game is broken.. does that
    mean they will take it out?

  14. HaloFollower

    I’m very excited to see how this turns out. I’m just wondering if it’s the
    best thing for Halo, but it could actually work. I guess we’ll find out!

  15. Data Blitz

    Are people going to try the game before they judge?

  16. Sam Félix

    I’m gonna cry. I don’t even have an Xbox One. D’:

  17. sergio caballero

    HALO OF DUTY GUARDIANS

  18. Christopher Rivera

    This isn’t halo anymore.

  19. Julian O.

    For crying out loud if you have a problem with this, there’s a reason why
    they gave us the Master Chief Collection!

  20. SensoryFour34

    The Spartan Abilities are very reminiscent of Destiny. Not sure if that’s
    good or bad. Either way, I’m excited to try this out!

  21. chiefmegadeth

    This looks like so much fun! I cant wait to get my sprint on…

  22. xStanley360

    Did 343 not fucking learn? This is the same fucking game as halo 4, except
    they added mantle and dash. lol good thing i watched this gameplay and am
    now going to avoid this sorry excuse for a game. its funny how mc
    collection will be their most successful release, and it’s not even a game
    they created lmao

  23. JAKE77X

    This looks beautiful

  24. LGC N1NJA

    So I’m confused, is this the first dlc for call of duty: advanced warfare?
    343 get your shit together.

  25. StatusTech

    yes yes yes 100 times yes! this looks sooooo good!

  26. Seanin Hall

    I’m not liking how it looks 343, make me believe though in that beta. You
    better, because I would hate to lose Halo.

  27. BionicCelI

    This halo game could potentially be one of the best competitive halo games.
    The strafing is better because of the thrusters, and there is more options
    in the game that players have to out play others, while keeping the game
    100% fair and balanced.

    The thing is the halo community wants to hang on to the old golden age of
    halo CE, 2, and 3, but for halo to succeed with today’s biases (I know
    someone that doesn’t like halo because there is no ADS or sprint) then I
    think this is the general direction in which 343i should take halo.

    as much as I love halo 2, and 3 I think that this change in halo is
    necessary. (plus we have MCC if you don’t wanna play “new” halo)

  28. Unknown Entity

    Wow, this actually looks fun!

  29. Jason Orozco

    This looks so good already. I can’t wait to try this beta.

  30. Vishaal Sharma

    Things that annoy me in Halo 5:
    -The sound of the hit markers
    -ALMOST all the abilities
    -ADS (Halo should not have ADS)
    -The climbing ability
    -Ground pound

    Things that I like in Halo 5:
    -Maps
    -No more ordnance
    -Upgraded Sprint (Would like it better if they got rid of it overall, but
    it’s not that bad)

  31. Virtual Flood

    Shitstorm incoming…

    I guess all I have to say is that it looks like fun but it doesn’t look
    like Halo. If the ADS is basically an animation for zooming I can’t say
    that I mind as it doesn’t really affect the core Halo experience. If Halo
    becomes recoil management and ADS combat like other shooters on the market
    then i’ll have a problem. When it comes to spartan abilities, if everyone
    has all the abilities I don’t really mind too much depending on how it’s
    balanced. If it’s a “pick your ability” system then that is straying way
    too far from the arena scene of Halo. Although this may seem like a major
    change to Halo multiplayer, it is attempting to go back to the core of
    arena multiplayer. Halo 4 strayed way too far from it’s roots. I really
    hope this game is good, but this has me very worried. If it isn’t done
    right, if doesn’t feel right I’m not sure ill like it. Maybe that’s just
    me. Glad that there’s a beta though.

  32. DeNy SleeK

    Halo: Advanced Warfare

  33. Glowaru

    In all honesty this looks like everything Reach should’ve been. They’re
    upgrading the game experience but are completely focusing on keeping it
    balanced, fair and co-existing well with the usual Halo mechanics. And most
    of all making sure it stays fun.

  34. Epic Gaming Live

    People aren’t seeing the competitive aspect that these new spartan
    abilities have. DID YOU SEE THE PRO’S PLAY THIS! The game was decided by
    one kill. All of the spartan abilities were used and none of the seamed to
    over power one another. Gosh give the game a try before you judge it

  35. Epic Gaming Live

    Halo fans

    Something new? FUCKING COD CLONE FUCK U OMGZZZZ U RUINED HALO
    FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

    Halo needs to fucking change, its getting left behind. In order for halo to
    keep being succesful, 343 needs to take the steps in order for the game to
    be balanced and played by a new generation of player

    EVERYONE HAS SPARTAN ABILITES
    – Just play with them for a few hours and you’ll get used to it

    NO CUSTOM LOADOUTS
    – Everyone is the same

    NO HIP FIRE PENALTY
    – If you don’t like ADS the fire from the hip from weapons that don’t
    normally use it

    This game just need adjusting to. Halo needs to evolve. It needs change.
    Halo fans always bash COD players for there game not changing when Halo
    fans bitch about change

  36. awesumsauce1

    This looks interesting, but it’s better to save reservation for the beta

  37. prototypMANIAC

    Fantastic so hyped for the beta. This is a real game changer as in this is
    what halo needs…. I evolve. I fully support you 343 I think you learned
    from halo 4, just by including a beta you showed you learned. Ur el like
    this game will be really polished. Good work. #LongLiveHalo

  38. Gruntz Rul3z

    Classic halo fans need to STFU and play Halo 1-3 if they hate the new
    games, they are NOT true Halo fans. TRUE halo fans LOVE halo regardless of
    change. seriously, If it was bungie doing this, you all would praise Bungie
    like its fucking Jesus Christ. Grow the fuck up, its a fucking video game,
    yeah its competition, but why use the same strategies OVER AND OVER AND
    OVER AND OVER AND OVER again? So you could win, wanting it YOUR way?
    Seriously? You guys are indeed fake halo fans…Probably only played Halo 2
    and halo 3 and never accepted change… SMH idiots these days…

  39. CourtCjbLand

    “The MCC is out and I can play every old Halo multiplayer and single player
    I want with no problem but I want Halo 5 to be just like these without
    changing anything or experimenting with new ideas because I’m a childish
    simple minded “gamer” and I hate change.”
    -these people

  40. Tate Anderson

    Here’s what some people NEED to understand.
    Aside from what buttons do what on your controller, nothing is going to
    change the way YOU play games.
    Don’t wanna use the thruster pack? You don’t have to.
    Don’t wanna Aim Down Sights? You virtually have no need to, the hipfiring
    is still as accurate as ever. (Although, being as big a halo fan as I am, I
    was intrigued by the concept.) You can still even shoot people and descope
    them.
    Don’t wanna use sprint? Good luck keeping up.
    Don’t wanna use the ground pound or charge? It’s gonna be pretty fucking
    funny seeing how you react to getting smashed with it.
    And WHO THE FUCK WOULDN’T WANT A CLAMBER FEATURE? You’re telling me you’re
    more please with just barely making a jump and getting killed in the
    process? Shut the fuck up, you conceded turd.
    It’s sad that, instead of being open minded and welcoming to new changes
    and abilities within the games, people would rather shut it out because it
    resembles some game that is popular for Halo fans to dislike. And it’s sad
    that people will bash something that they haven’t even experienced first
    hand because they’re too worried that the added features will be utilized
    in beating them because they want to play the game the way they played Halo
    2 ten years ago. You want to play a new Halo 2? Well
    congratu-fucking-lations, today is your lucky day, the world just got a new
    and improved Halo 2 on the same disc as the remastered Halo Combat Evolved,
    3, and 4.

  41. Connor Tucker

    You may well call this a diffrent game this isn’t halo !!!!!!!!
    Please change it or have an option when it’s classic halo and you can’t
    look down the sight like COD

  42. jiangdangwang

    343 if you read this please consider some of my opinion. Halo is simplistic
    game . Shot, melee, grenades. Now i see all these movement. It does make
    sense for a spartan suit. But gameplay wise, its not halo. It doesnt look
    like halo and cant feel halo anymore. So maybe can you guys just let go of
    thruster packs? Sprint already pissed a lot of people, some made peace with
    it. But armor abilities. I think there are not armor abilities, but damn
    its like you have all these moves added in to thruster pack. Ground pound,
    it really not any one wants, the dash melee, and slide. These think are
    changing the game too much. Just take those out, its not halo. You guys
    added enough. So now i ask please just let it go. And also ingame dialogue
    after kills are soooooooooooo unattractive.

  43. Boyd Trinity

    Stop b*******. Play it or dont. Its their game. Nobodys listening because
    they want to make what they want to make. Tired of the lil girls wining
    bout sprint & armor abilities. Stfu and jog.

  44. Halo Prodigy

    Halo 5 is looking amazing so far even though its still a WIP. Too bad I
    don’t have an Xbone (Would love a PC release which could be possibly
    likely). Love what 343 is doing with Halo 5, I don’t care what the classic
    fanboys say. Not only that, I’m saddened to this day that these so called
    “Classic Fanboys” love Bungie and yet don’t even give 343 any love at all
    and say rude comments like “You suck at game developing, STOP CHANGING
    HALO!”

    I just want these people to get out of the Halo community now! 343
    Industries, just keep working on Halo 5! Don’t worry about the classic
    fanboys that complain about your Halo titles!

  45. MEJB7

    Please thumbs down this video so 343 can see this is not what we what! This
    really looks like an even more terrible version of Destiny. Nobody wants
    abilities or ADS. Just get back to old style Halo

  46. James Anthony

    Bring back reach armor! It was pretty cool…

  47. Arga Wala Thing

    The only thing I want to complain initially is just the clamber ability.
    Part of being a skilled Halo player was being able to make skill jumps via
    “crouch jumping”. Clambering just kind of ruins that mentality. Other than
    that, everything is pretty welcome for the beta.
