Unfinished: Halo 5: Guardians 06/15/2015

Wait. Is Halo 5's Warzone mode a MOBA? That can't be right.

Sometimes we look at a game before it's done. When that's the case? Well... it must be Unfinished.

If Microsoft put in an FoV slider, and let you reduce the size of the gun so it didn't take up half the screen, I'd be all over this game. I haven't played an FPS on consoles (for more than 5 mins) since TimeSplitters on the PS2, no idea how people play like this, you have no peripheral vision, everything constantly sneaks up on you.

That drifting parallel park right at the start was pretty great, I've got to say.

This mode reminds me of Planetside. That being said, it looks interesting.

Doing hw while listening to this video instead of watching and by golly it sure does sound like a MOBA. Seems like a great idea, can't wait to get my hands on it.

Looks fun! I've always been more into the traditional arena-style halo multiplayer, but this looks like a really good time with buddies.

It's really cool that they're having both radically different playstyles in the same game, simply separated by game modes.

This looks great! Very cool way to innovate using ideas from a bunch of different past and present multiplayer games.

Never had any issue with FOV personally. And nothing sneaks up on you if you become very familiar with the radar. Halo has always had a really great radar system. Unless they're crouching I know where everyone around me pretty much at all times.

Then again, even when I do play FPS's on PC I never touch the FOV slider. Never felt the need to. Default is always fine for me. I understand that it's a real big issue from others though. Espcially for those who get motion sickness.

We should have the option, it doesn't impact performance like people will tell you, it just stops motion sickness. When I look at this video all I notice is how it looks like you're looking through two toilet tubes, you're not getting full vision like a human.

Wait... so Dan would no longer like this (even though he just said he had enjoyed it), if he found out it was a MOBA? Really? I hope this was a joke ( I never know with Dan). If not this seems really juvenile.


I mean be your own person and like what you like, but to suddenly disregard something you are enjoying your time with simply because a genre title was associated with it. seems.

He threw away like ten bags of what he called the best mac and cheese ever because he found out it had sour cream in it.

The format for the videos have been great from E3, capturing footage of them playing then analysing it.

Actually makes me think they should sometimes do this normally for more complicated games...

This is really selling me.

Apparently a Halo 5 Xbox One is coming, which I'm surprised they didn't show during the conference, so I might end up picking that up just to play this.

Reminds me of the onslaught gametype from Unreal Tournament 2004 with a couple of MOBA mechanics mixed in. I like onslaught, so I am down with warzone.

Well played Drew! It was really nice to watch a skilled player commentate well with two other voices. Very cool. Looks like a game I will be enjoying online quite a bit.

Yes, it's actually Halo 5. There have been 4 others and 3 (more?) non-numbered games. You're welcome to play those if you don't want iteration.

Actually, it is! If you don't like this mode, you can play normal arena multiplayer with traditional 4v4 and weapon spawns on map.

This looks a lot like UT Onslaught with extra AI.

Which is to say perhaps the most interesting thing I've seen about Halo maybe ever.

Echoing everyone else; reminded me heavily of UT Onslaught, except with slightly lamer vehicles.

Looks fun, though.

As a pretty big Halo-fan and Halo 5 skeptic this seems really good. I'm gonna get this, hopefully the multiplayer works.

If I get a Xbone I will play it, but it's not exactly high on my list of priorities currently. I still really do not like the look of the aim down sights, it just seems clunky and feels so out of place in a Halo game. Everything else was fine, it looked like a Halo game. I just hope the story is decent, because so far from the preview stuff it just isn't grabbing me. I just don't see a justification for the story continuing past Halo 3 tbh.

The beta was great. This looks like that on a bigger scale, so I'm assuming this will be a lot of fun. It's not quite the really epic Halo multiplayer I was anticipating, though.

Looks like Dan is still hell bent on refusing to give mobas a fair chance. I get that they're not for everyone, but the way he makes zero attempt to understand what's enjoyable about them and then proceeds to act like they're the worst thing ever is really obnoxious.

This mode looks cool. If I had an Xbox One, I'd seriously consider buying the game just for this mode.
