E3 Halo thoughts?

hey guys!

just wondered what anyone thought of the short release trailer at E3 that just happened?

They didnt call it Halo 5 so what does this mean? are they getting away from the series in the way of order? story line?

thoughts please? 2

You got me. Still waiting to hear some facts. Spike TV caught the omission of the 5 and was looking for answers.

It's definitely moving on in the timeline, as chief was holding cortana's "chip" indicating the ending of H4...we all know it's Halo 5 though.

Microsoft announced it is officially Halo 5, only without the number for some dumbass reason.

Is it 343 again,  or a different developer?

I believe 343 is on the hook for 5 and 6.  I haven't watched the trailer yet, but if it is timed for XBONE 1 release it will probably be as full of holes as H4.

 

Edit:  Duh, should have read the LB thread first.

The timeframe gives the game enough development time, while being a killer app for a holiday 2014 increase in console sales.

Not unexpected at all.  It is probably preferable to releasing this year even if it had enough time.

YOU KNOW AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT AND READING ALL THE BOOKS, i THINK You (sorry cap lock) might be right!.

The Didacts ship...that was probably what we saw..even after his death he lived on by passing his essence on to a second coming = another Diadact with same memories and thoughts right?

So what you are saying is that the didact is the Haloverse's Tom Marvelo Riddle?  Wow.

There were two Didacts in the books, but one died firing the Halo Array. It wasn't exactly like using a Horcrux, although the creation of the second Didact did involve replicating his personality into another Forerunner. There's no going back from digital to a corporeal form, though; the Forerunners attempted to do that to avoid the Flood, but once they were composed, they were stuck as AI.
