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. 



Looks excellent, this game is going to be huge :P

Name the other games and/or devs.

Trailer looking good. Not that much gameplay but there already was a lot of gameplay shown.

Hope it's as much fun as the trailer made it out to be :) Can't wait.

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.



Awesome trailer. Haven't been pumped for a Halo release since Halo 2. I was pumped for Halo 3, but then I played the CoD4 MP beta and welp, yep.

I was gonna play through the MCC to get the story but I think I will just read the wiki. Don't have enough time.



Reserved Oct 27 off from work so now I can stay up late night on Oct 26 till the servers go live and play.



I have no desire to "hunt" the Master Chief. He's not an antagonist. It would be as stupid as playing as Bowser in Super Mario Bros.

And this is coming from someone who has been playing Halo since XBL wasn't even a THING.
