Not really what I want out of Halo (Off-Topic)

Totally fair. Watching E3 is a bit like trying to read the oracles of delphi. "What did they focus on for this trailer, and why did they focus on that thing?" "Is that indicitive, or is it just for the show?"

FWIW that fun open combat that Halo is known for also *shows* incredibly poorly. Pretty much Every Halo since 2 (and honestly, most of CE's E3 showings stunk) has looked pretty bad on stage.

Very true. It's difficult to know at this stage whether the H5 E3 demo looked linear because the game actually is, or because it was a demo set up for a stage showing. Time will tell.

Other things looked fun, though. The squad command thing has potential, I actually like the ledge-catching mechanics, and having Buck along should be entertaining.
