Also 5 has a bigger MP population than 3 in its heyday iirc
[QUOTE=Ryuki;50727980]Halo 6 should become an open world FPS, that would be sick. Imagine being Master Chief kicking spartan ass in suburban areas and literally in the halo ring. With a total of 50 in-game hours of story content and massive online co-op and competetive. It would kick ass. Please dont rate dumb or disagree, I'm hoping for it to happen as it could revive this series which is biting the dust at the moment ever since Halo 4: Turds.[/QUOTE]
Halo goes open world! A new breed of combat evolved!

We don't need yet another "open-world, story-focused, action, sorta-but-not-really-an-RPG" shooter. Halo's linearity is fine and making it open-world can only make things worse because it doesn't fix the root of the problem.

No. It has the highest player retention and MP player count since 3.

ODST was more Hub world than true open
Just heard about the halo 5 forge for pc and how it'll include custom games. SO hyped now. Was going to buy an xbox 1 just to play halo 5 multiplayer but now that this is coming out, I won't waste my money.

I don't think it will include a game browser, it just has the ability to play custom games, most likely to test them. The only way to play with people is to invite them through xbox live.

So is the Halo 4-5 Warthog design just a Retcon now?

I wouldn't think so; remember that these are vehicles from over 28 years ago story wise.
Also, you missed this:

They're exact same design as the Halo 4 and 5 Warthogs.
All their other equipment is correct for when they came from, except for the Warthog. Seems weird.
I doubt it, but it could be a content licensing thing
Also, it's now a lot easier to see that there's a Halo ring in the Ark's forge.
What's the bet that this ties into the end of Halo 5, and that Serena brought the SoF to the ark so they could get the new halo up and running to kill all humans?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;50757924]I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.[/QUOTE]
That was before you posted saying they were the same, I was just pointing that out.
That is what I was saying in the first place, the Halo 4-5 Warthog design has been retconned into being the only Warthog design.

And that sucks
[QUOTE=Tuskin;50758368]That is what I was saying in the first place, the Halo 4-5 Warthog design has been retconned into being the only Warthog design.[/QUOTE]
Again, I'm not sure. There were UNSC bases set up on the Ark after Halo: Hunters in the Dark, so maybe the new warthogs are there because of that.

Also, it looked very weird for a while but it turns out the Ark really is that bent.

Those two are from the final skyboxes in Halo 3.

That's the ark from the trailer, with the halo ring around the mining planet.

Serena's long dead at this point. Whatever's left of her is probably an automated program designed to watch over the SoF and wake the crew if something happens.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;50757924]I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.[/QUOTE]
The Warthog in Halo Wars 2 is the same or similar to the 4 and 5 design. It even has handlebars on the front. It was the same way in Blur's cutscenes for H2A, so it's not really a big deal.
It makes me so happy that the Spartans actually look like Spartans in those trailers
That thing in the middle of the Ark....is that what's left of High Charity?
[QUOTE=chipsnapper2;50761550]That thing in the middle of the Ark....is that what's left of High Charity?[/QUOTE]
You mean the big ball surrounded by smoke? Thats the thing that builds Halo rings.
I thought the Ark was finally shut down in the book Hunters In The Dark but i cant remember for sure
[QUOTE=Bathtub;50761988]I thought the Ark was finally shut down in the book Hunters In The Dark but i cant remember for sure[/QUOTE]
[sp]The monitor controlling the Ark was destroyed but the UNSC could get the place working again if they threw enough Huragok at it[/sp]
So I guess 343i invalidated the end of Halo 3 but not having the Ark be destroyed? By fixing it? What's the point? Halo 3's ending heavily implied the Ark was destroyed when, you know, the portal cut the dawn in half.
[QUOTE=Bathtub;50761988]I thought the Ark was finally shut down in the book Hunters In The Dark but i cant remember for sure[/QUOTE]
It wasn't. [sp] The Halo array was shut down again after Tragic Solitude tried to manipulate any sentient species into opening up a portal to the Ark, so that it could send Retriever Sentinels to those worlds to recover enough resources to repair the Ark. He was defeated, but the UNSC established bases on the Ark to begin repairing the Ark again, but without destroying Earth and other planets [/sp] [QUOTE=chipsnapper2;50761550]That thing in the middle of the Ark....is that what's left of High Charity?[/QUOTE]
It's a planet, being stripmined for resources by Retriever Sentinels to construct a new Halo ring. The ruins of High Chairty are somewhere on the Ark though.

If you were to destroy a computer's motherboard, it would be broken and nothing would work. But the other components are still intact. The Ark was heavily damaged to the point where the portal shut down, but the Ark itself was still fixable.

Turns out the Ark was only heavily damaged when Halo fired because 343 didn't want to ditch that location, the portal cut off because of said damage (and also the transit time between Earth and the Ark was now apparently weeks) which [sp]got fixed by the Ark's monitor which decided no never show up in Halo 3[/sp]
