The trailer is fine, but I'm not sure it qualifies as a "gameplay" trailer.

It does. There's the live action launch trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCP0GSB2A8E and the gameplay launch trailer. 

I don't want to belabor the point, but when I see "gameplay trailer" I expect something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXLZvsSmBIs. Or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bro5YugsPDg. Or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vR8EHatIIE. Something that shows extended gameplay footage.

The trailer above doesn't show any gameplay footage until the 1:34 mark, and then it's just a bunch of 1-2 second clips of gameplay at a time. It hardly explains how the game plays to the uninitiated. 

That's not to say Microsoft is hiding Halo 5 gameplay. We've seen plenty of footage, at E3 and beyond. But this trailer doesn't do the gameplay justice. It's mostly cinematic cut-scenes, with a smattering of gameplay moments.
