Under the new community blog right before the section New Mechanics in Campaign, 343 just revealed that in the campaign the characters will have slight difference. Kelly will be slightly faster then other members of Blue Team and Tanaka will have increased motion tracker range. This something I was hoping for and I bet any lore/campaign fans are going to like this as well. Small stuff like this makes very excited to play Halo 5.
Even though I wonder if Kelly is faster in everything or just sprint speed, but either way this is pretty cool.
Let the speculation for other characters begin.
Well, they’re following the books with Kelly being faster, so my guess is:
Blue Team:
-
John: Can take more damage - Fred: Can punch harder (he’s a close combat specialist, IIRC) - Linda: Better accuracy on precision weaponsFireteam Osiris:
-
Locke: Can sprint/jump faster. For real, tho. - Buck: Since he was an ODST, I guess he may be more “sneaky” than the rest. - Vale: Reload faster, I dunno. All the stuff we can take from HITD is that she’s diplomatic.

Maybe less fall damage?

Her Speech skill is higher. That -Yoink!- gate guard at Riften won’t stand a chance against her.

Never mind just saw your edit.
I actually love that they have slight differences in attributes and HUDs - plus it seems when you join a friends game you get to choose your character rather than get assigned!
Looking forward to exploring all eight characters and learning their differences and nuances.

The fact that perspective in the co-op campaign also changes little things in the dialogue is also another huge thing. I really think that 343 have learnt from what they did right and wrong with the story and campaign in Halo 4 and have worked to make a massively better story for Halo 5

Yea there is a couple stuff in the blog like downed players can still die after a short while, that sounds really cool but i just wanted highlight different attributes.
