Some of the near interesting information he shared includes the post-obit, starting on details regarding the campaign:

It felt like I was actually a Spartan. I always took the high road and climbed above my teammates with a DMR to rain hell downwards upon my foes below. Would play again.
Apparently enough[cutscenes], as nosotros simply played a THIRD of the mission and the get-go and end of that department had cutscenes. Most story is told through com churr, though
Almost memorable moment was just watching the first cutscene. I wish y'all guys could see it. Blue team is so badass. They don't even flinch. They but KNOW the Covies will be sucked into infinite.
John'due south the leader. Almost discussions involve him. Like the instance given, Fred asks a question, John responds "We don't enquire."

Hammil the shares his impression onthe gameplay and the AI of Halo five:

Enemy AI was top-notch. Dueling with a sword Elite was a challenge. NOT comparable to Noble team, they were awful. They're smarter. They talk to each other. I grunt blew all four of us up with a plasma. It was embarrassing. The Jackals jetpack upward to yous and stuff, but I didn't see anything else I don't believe.
It looks like the new Promethean Soldiers might have thrusters, though.
Commands felt every bit they should: The game was made with them in mind. I wouldn't call them a gimmick as much every bit "give thanks god they're useful at present". Remember Halo Reach and how awful they all were. GET IN MY WARTHOG! Now you can tell them to with a push.
Information technology sucks to drop a sword in favor of a rocket, so tell you buddy to take hold of it.
You can send them places, make them enter vehicles or turrets, target an enemy, pick upwards a weapon, and come revive you faster.

Regarding the graphics of Halo 5, he explained:

It really looked that good [equally in the screenshots]. It played shine. I didn't see a stutter.
[Graphics improved]Quite drastically[from the beta]. Every bit far every bit I'm aware I was playing at 1080p at the studio (could be wrong). Beta was 720. Information technology just seemed very smooth.
As for music, the audio blueprint in general seemed very polished. It was never overwhelming like Halo four. Sounds were amazing. We had an audio demo (I actually got to play Halo 5 in the sound studio) that blew my listen. The sounds of bullets whizzing past and how the environment echoes is very impressive.
Yes! Classic grunt! It's hilarious. We were given an audio demo which I hope anybody tin see. The covies interact with each other. Example:
Grunt: "I'm gonna kill him!"
Aristocracy: "Yous! Grunt! Get that manner!"
Grunt: Mumbles angrily

Design Director Kevin Franklin teased a super surreptitious multiplayer way while speaking to GameInformer:

Nosotros also have a complementary new epic multiplayer experience which we're really excited to evidence off at E3. I can't say too much about it, but I can tell you lot it does incorporate all aspects of the Halo sandbox for the very starting time time ever. This was ever a dream of ours and all of our fans to build something like this. It'south been 3 years of long development and an incredible corporeality of play testing. We can't wait to testify it off.

Microsoft promises that E3 will requite players the chance "see the greatest games lineup in Xbox history".

Microsoft is expected to bear witness off Halo 5: Guardians, Forza Motorsport 6, Rising of the Tomb Raider and Gears of War, and besides reveal some unannounced titles "coming in 2022 and beyond". One or more titles from Rare are expected. Microsoft's E3 printing conference gets underway at v:30pm on June fifteen, with the testify commencement ane day later on June 16.

Nosotros will bring you any new information on Halo 5: Guardians, Microsoft and E3 2022 as soon as information technology becomes available.
