Video Xbox One

Halo 5: Guardians was of course a major attraction at Microsoft's press conference, so it's no surprise we got nothing less than 3 videos for this game: The gameplay shown at the press conference (sadly encoded at 30 fps), the Warzone trailer, and the Warzone vidoc.

We all know the gameplay will be an absolute blast, I just wish I would have seen more to get a better feel for the single player. But every halo i go through co op with my brother online and we always have a blast. Graphics don't look as good as I was hoping for but I'm sure the fun factor will be pretty damn high for co op and MP.

@Warzone vidoc:
When will they get that fighting for a spot on the map where something is about to spawn is part of what makes Halo fun?

Watching this back again...looks kinda cartoony...when i thought they were going for a more realistic gritty look, least the reveal hinted at that...as did halo 4.

Night lighting effects. Def jaggies present. 4 player online co-op is always fun. But cant help being disappointed it's not a Master chief dedicated story. Not sure if this is the killer app to get me to invest in an xboxone I was expecting.

Well the game is definitely sub 1080p. I'm disappointed in the visuals, but I knew not to expect much from the Xbone.

I think the game looks great maybe not the best but for a 60fps game it's fine. From your statement one would think the competion is leaps away but all i see this gen is similar looking visuals of which the order is still at the top. if anything the consoles this gen are under-powered.

The only thing that really bothers me is the aliasing. I can deal with aliasing at 1080p and I know it when I see it. I've gotten so used to gaming at 1080p for the past several years now that I have gotten used to it and accept it, but anything less is an eyesore for me and is always obvious unless there is a good method of AA being used. I'd even take 30 fps over 60 here if I could get native 1080p with at least 2x AA (single player). With MP I know 60 is important and I suppose I'll take that however I can get it at 60.

Not sure what folks are looking at but this single player game looks amazing. Halo 4 SP was a beautiful game but this looks even better. So many things in this vid, like new weapons, scanning (hope this is used well), that lock on jump punch, issuing commands, restoring team health are just a few I saw. Hopefully they finally give us a single player worth playing since in the past the SP was an after thought.....Halo 4 was better in SP.

Like what I'm seeing but story is the key. No issues with the graphics. Much darker which is what was needed.

How could you see that it is not 1080p? Do you have some special forces?
