E3 Campaign Trailer Analysis: Ok so we start off with some dialogue from Buck and Locke which is great. It shows Buck's caring side. He's the won who's always going to want a peaceful way out of things if possible. He doesn't mind cutting down Covies of Jul's faction but when it comes to the Chief and Blue Team, I feel he doesn't want things to get physical if they don't have to be. Never mind that though let's get to the visuals. At this point in the beginning we see Chief after he falls into a cave mentioned in Ready Up Live's campaign coverage. He falls into this cave and hears Cortana's voice starting scattered sort of but then the audio focuses and says "Chief." Another thing to point out is the silhouette in his visor at 00:40 but we'll get to that later. 00:23 seems to indicate some prior relationship between the Arbiter Thel Vadam and Spartan Locke as Jameson Locke says "I'm a Spartan now, sir," to which Thel responds, "I know who you are." 00:31 shows Osiris getting onto the Arbiter's gold Lich, possibly a mobile base of operations. Tanaka's hair is not buzzed short, it's confirmed to be tightly fastened into a bow. Notice the Mantises making a return in this sequence. Back at 00:40 we see a Guardian rise in front of Chief (not sure if it's real or not) and then in his visor is the silhouette of Cortana who then tells him that the Domain is open and the Reclamation is beginning. 00:43 shows Osiris with Thel and his team. I can't make Usze, Ntho, or Rtas out of any of the Sangheili there so I'm assuming these are just some of his Swords of Sanghelios brethren and they may make appearances later. 00:46 is worth mentioning because of Thel's information to Locke: "Sunaion - the Covenant's final stronghold. That is where you'll find the Master Chief, and the Guardian he seeks." So it seems that everyone is aware that the large Sentinels are Guardians. 01:25 you see Locke activate the Artemis which is like 3D radar scan of the immediate area for any evidence to support their hunt. They find an AR and Vale uses her ability to identify it as the Master Chief's so I believe these two instances are indications of each member having character-specific abilities where Locke's is the Artemis and Vale's is a DNA scanner of sorts. 01:32 we see the first shot of team commands where Locke points Vale to the AR found. Another notable feature is that team chatter is abundant. 02:13 Osiris spots the Guardian in Sunaion. Again they know what it is and what it looks like and apparently how it's used because Buck asks if they think Chief is already on board. Also worth noting that the Guardian is illuminated with blue lights indicating either neutral control or possibly control from the Librarian. 03:15 we see orbs of light that appear to be the Prometheans' new preferred method of travel. The light flies around looking for a good spot to land and opens a portal there. 03:30 is our first look at a Phaeton in action shooting at Osiris and downing Vale. Locke uses team commands to order Buck to shoot it down with his Hydra and orders Tanaka to revive Vale. 03:52 we see the new enemy Promethean Soldiers in gameplay for the first time and it seems Fireteam Osiris is on the up and up again knowing exactly what they are probably due to prior engagements. 04:20 Locke reveals the new weapon the Plasma Caster which is shaped like a Storm Rifle but shoots Plasma Grenades like the Grenade Launcher from Reach. It also has a charge feature that will shoot a Plasma Grenade much faster and more accurately sticking to the enemy before overheating. 04:31 not too important except that I found it kinda interesting that the Promethean Soldiers speak English instead of screeching. 04:51 revealed that like Promethean Knights, the Promethan Soldiers will have variants and ranks like the Soldier Captains seen here. 05:01 "I am the Warden Eternal. Keeper of the Domain and her secrets." This is obviously important because it introduces a new seemingly high ranking Promethean into the mix of chaos. The introduction tells me they haven't met before but he knows who Master Chief is and seems to support him and is actively going against Locke. The Warden Eternal has some badass Promethean armor with an even badder sword that takes down Locke's shield and health in one blow. I call him a Promethean and not a Forerunner because he seems to have been a previously composed human that was promoted. He doesn't have a structure like the Didact, he is lit inside and reveals to have a skull just like the other Prometheans. 05:22 Extremely important. It shows a mano a mano duel between Jameson Locke and Jul Mdama with Dr. Halsey in the audience. Locke slides under Jul's sword and cuts his leg with his combat knife. Really hoping that's not the end for Jul Mdama. 05:29 Mgalekgolo forming from the Lekgolo on the ground. Very cool feature that I hope we see more than once during the campaign. Right after that we see a Spirit dropship opening from the sides like we've never seen before. And after that a gigantic Harvester comes into view. And if you freeze on 05:37 just right you'll see the new Wraith model. It's like the old one minus the back bottom part where you shove grenades. It's like half floating it's weird. Ok that's it for my analysis please add anything you saw that I didn't say or anything that's worth mentioning!

Oh Swami (Ledgend) take us into 13.0

You should also say that this is just speculation because some people who haven't listened yet might think you're just spoiling the ending. This would be interesting. Honestly though I think:

Because I heart you guys

Let's get rid of one of 2 of Bnus's lives it's not like it'll do anything anyway. Get voted on Bnus

Oh Swami (SD) bring us into 13.0

I vote Bnus

I think this works a lot better in Halo 5 than it does in any of the other games.

Ok it's Bnus and Ledgend is the Juggernaut

I like how you let more light in, that makes a lot of difference on a map. I will try to play test this with some guys in the upcoming game night tonight if I make it and give some proper feedback.

Fine you've convinced me. Even if you are mafia we'll spare you this time Ledge. I vote Yang who is obviously mafia.

Done. Everyone, this is your new Admin: Zandril.

I vote Ledgend

Ledgend and Yang are mafia Ledgend is juggernaut

Toby Maguire as Tom Hayden Pannettiere as Lucy Chris Pine as Carter Mila Jovavich as Kat Tom Selleck as Jorge Terry Crews as Emile Original Noble Six voice with body actor

I don't believe those are Sentinels in the center because those are very large by scale size. It's presumed that those are Phaetons Gunships.

My name is ben jiro pls join 4 hunt th turth

Sisters and brothers, This is my formal announcement of my defection from the Halo Team Assemble. I have been wronged too many times to ever make right. I am not the evil one, they are the evil conglomerate posing as heroes. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. If you are going to join a group, let it be on the side of justice. My side. We do not want to exclude anyone like Halo Team Assemble has done several times. Also I'm taking GSD.

Someone on HaloArchive tweeted at Josh Holmes asking if there was going to be split screen in the final version of the game and Holmes confirmed there will be 2 player split screen.

Wellll... There is one. This is supposedly a concept art pic teasing at the new large-scale battle gametype.

Ledgend and Yang are mafia

This is great news. Glad to have you fools aboard
