I think you have me confused with somebody else. I haven't been pessimistic or critical of 343 or Halo 5 at all. I'm just trying to keep your enthusiasm in check by using facts. You link an article from one guy's 25-minute demo of Halo 5. Bigger missions doesn't exactly equate with bigger maps. It may or may not. This all started when you tried to equate the 4-times map size of a Warzone map with the whole Halo 5 world. You said you would be very disappointed if that didn't turn out to be the case. Guess what? You've already set yourself up for disappointment.

It's a new vidoc apparently.

I love those, so I'll be sure to tune in.
Actually, the message wasn't meant to be a direct response to a comment of yours at all, I was just stating a fact about the current state of affairs with anything i343 related. On disappointment, I wouldn't want the game to change its framerate and I quite enjoyed Halo 4. The knights and their cheap invisible-visible-invisible again-visible attack patterns weren't my favourite features about the game, but it wasn't a bad Halo game, imho.
All the Halo games had relatively big maps and I wouldn't be totally disappointed it that wasn't the case because I know it won't be -Warzone aside where maps are larger-. I guess Warzone maps have 4 times the size of the typical multiplayer Halo maps, if I understood it correctly.
It could be in his head, but yea I think we did see her.

"...if you don't have those quiet, little human stories it doesn't matter how many planets you blow up, nobody is gonna care."
A sci-fi hater, right there.

Didn't care much for the narrative, but the actual footage looked more promising with the larger spaces than the previous material. They ought to have released this pre-E3 like they did a couple for H4, and just done some sort of music video montage for the conference. No need for another linear demonstration. It'd be easy to get a grasp of Team Osiris's scanner thing with a few seconds. The walking, running, and clambering is kind of a given. The healing interaction was pretty much all seen in this video as well as the Warden.
The footage also looks taken from all sorts of builds. Probably should have had more time stamps to be more transparent about WIP. A number of things look pretty bad and obvious (aside from the non-textured tests) - lighting seemed all over the place, bad textures etc., but at least it'd give a better idea of when they captured the material to stifle some of the complaints.
Anyways.

-Hidden areas could be great.
-Locke still sounds too robotic/forced. Fillion's a natural.

Call me cynical or whatever, but that vidoc does not look like Halo to me at all. The armour and environment design , the colours, the art direction is so so damn different now that it could be some other game all together. Even the Master Chief silhouette is so changed that its hardly recognisable. IMO, they went too far already.
Don't feel excited. I am not angry or anything but I feel a gem is lost. I used to wait with baited breath for all HALO Vidocs and ads as they were all so amazing. This ......not at all. They are changing things for the sake of changing things. Its as if they want to make sure they leave their mark on the HALO franchise. They seem to believe they are bigger than HALO in this HALO project. Its not about HALO, its about our HALO and Bungie's HALO.
or maybe I am just crazy.

i object your honor, i object...
Destiny did not have those. Its filled with shooting aliens on the head, blow up big boss, go to point A B C. Lots of people care.
Heck, the best part of Destiny is the Raid and its devoid of those little human stories.
i hope this does not means Halo 5 will be "forcing" even more "cinematic" elements into gameplay than Halo 4....
Halo Reach is the best balance, i think. Halo 4 is already too much, worse offender on the boss battle/cinematic.
I agree, i too feel like the "magic" is lost. It looks good but it doesn't look spectacular, i think Bungie did great with Halo and it's hard to see 343i topping what they did honestly. A major loss for me is Martin O'Donnell, because of him i still remember this reveal like it was yesterday...

That's because Destiny sucks.

Yup, so good that however much we may hate the pricing model of the dlc and the lack of creativity in some areas, we are still playing it and having ton of fun ! and I am sure the Taken King will only make us more tied to it, not less.
The basic shooting gameplay is the best in Destiny.
