H5 News

Via Gameinformer:

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2015/06/09/july-cover-reveale...

 

Some other news that has been condensed via Reddit:

-They decided to give away all future maps for free to not divide the community. (20 maps at launch, 15 dlc maps) THANKS 343 for listening!

-Completely new “epic” multiplayer mode to be presented at E3. They are working on this mode for more than 3 years. Sounds like a huge Big Team Battle mode (speculation). It does “incorporate all aspects of the Halo sandbox for the very first time ever”.

-Drop-in/drop-out 4 player co-op in campaign.

-In single player, you can give your AI mates strategic commands.

-Individual HUD for every team member in co-op mode.

-Campaign levels will have many alternative paths.

-The Beta was a fundamental base for many positive changes.

-In co-op play, everyone takes on a specific member, each with a different loadout unique to their specialty.

More to come as I find out more.

*edit*  Leaked GI article.  Read now as they may be removed:

Buck and Locke looked very detailed, although these pics look like their heads have been photoshopped onto spartan bodies lol.

Warzone trailer!  Looks like a lot of fun if you want to step away from the competitive 4v4 arena.

12v12 combat plus computer-generated enemies on huge maps and running on dedicated servers. This is next-gen gaming!

In a wait & see mode.... Dedicated servers sound great (or when viewing a developer's demo), but put a couple hundred thou H5 players on the system in a less than ideal (not geographically close by) 12v12 + AI matchmade game, then see what you've got. Playing (lag, connectivity, audio, booting) at least as well as Destiny MM games (which isn't perfect) should be the minimum standard. I'll not be buying H5 till at least a week after launch - and hopefully learning that it works well enough to justify the purchase.

Small bit of rain.

It seems as if Warzone is MM only. That means a party of 12 max only.

BTB is 8v8 with MM and customs. So we will at least be able to do what we used to be able to do.

Warzone.  Meh.

 

Everything else around the 4v4 aspect is sounding great.

No splitscreen for any game mode. Guess that gets rid of guests in multiplayer.
