Halo 5 for XBONE

[novicius]

Well there will be AI in PvP matches, I would ASSUME they also have the traditional co-op vs. AI Firefight-style matches as well...

[Cam]

I'll probably get it.

Old Battlefront style? Oh, Titanfall did that too, right? Hmmm...

[21Kid]

I take it no one is getting SW: Battlefront then?

[Kchrpm]

I need to see more than what was in the demo. I want it to be less forced (no pun intended).

[21Kid]

I doubt that... it seems fully forced.

I pre-ordered the digital version. Downloading right now. I think we may have to pay extra to our ISP this month. I downloaded at least 100 GB of games.

Initial thoughts:

:: I've played waaay too much Destiny. Can't find a controller layout that I'm 100% comfortable with. Ended up sticking with Default over Boxer for the first time in years.

:: 60 FPS. Hmm, it's a tough one: on one hand, it looks great! Everything is sharp and shiny and detailed and quick now. On the other hand, it has lost a certain romanticized cinematic quality. I think I'm pro-60 FPS now tho'. It does look good.

:: The action is interesting; I feel like they've sped up the Halo 4 model which leads to strange inertia sometimes. Still getting used to it -- and boo to the severely short melee range.

:: The story is split between Spartan Locke's Red Team and Master Chief's Blue Team. Did 343 Industries forget how schizophrenic Halo 2's story was? But considering that there are Story elements that pick up where H2 left off, consider H5 its successor. Be warned.

:: That said, the story is decent. Picks right up a few months after where H4 ended so that's good.

Overall I'm enjoying it. Prometheans can fuck right off, tho' -- still not satisfying shooting energy robots.

Oh, it's out already...

Green Thumb fo lyfe!

I may download this this weekend. I never finished Halo 4 I don't think, so I might do that first. Is that one of the titles you can use on the XBone.
