This community does not make sense, they say they want a returning art style, then say this doesn’t hit the mark, I think the models look great, they really hit that halo feel. Colors are great. Although as a big halo wars player, using a banished phantom, they could have saved that one for other gameplay trailers, the banished phantom I always thought was ugly when that DLC came out.
As for the graphics. After watching in 2k, I have to agree with some people, there are just like no shaders it feels like. The brackground is very bright, the darks aren’t dark enough and the brights are too bright, and there aren’t any textures in the distance which with the added brightness really showcases that there aren’t.
But everything in the battlefield you showed off was good I feel, I don’t mind simpler design.
I appreciate the bold moves to change the weapons they look great (Assault Rifle though something definitely felt off.) I really dig the magnum type thing.
EDIT: Apparently the demo they showed was dated and the 1 minute trailer they have on youtube shows a lot of these grapical improvements, which they do, except on the backgrounds. Which I feel still have the same problems
I like sprint, all I can say, Spartan abilities really didn’t do it for me for halo 5, spartan charge was infuriating for such a good multiplayer. Slide I’m on the line for though, makes for fun single player. Grapple hooks are cool, I dig it. Halo 3-like equipment did not really help halo 3 a whole lot I feel, it was just there, I wouldn’t mind it being the same here, as it never brought halo 3 down.
Story so far I think is great. Im biased though I really liked the banished it is a more fleshed out enemy for me because I played halo wars 2, compared to the random splinter groups of the covenant and forerunners. Atriox is a vengeful spirit and he’s here to -Yoink- you up, they played him out to be a tough dude and obviously destroying UNSC in months yeah. Although this new brute dude I dig him but wheres Atriox he is already a good villain.
As for the continuation of halo 5 in the last news post the gameplay trailer takes place hours into the game,
> longtime fans will also pick up with the continuation of the events of Halo 5: Guardians and be rewarded with new mysteries to unravel.
I think that you guys are really achieving what you said though on the last news post 7/23. Its a new halo experience to bring in a new audience, meant to capture that halo CE feel, and I think you have captured it, and thats coming from an experienced halo person.
I feel like better textures/ shaders/ shadows etc. will do you guys so much better.
PS. Why does the warthog sound like a beefy lawnmower.
