    Yep.

    Also I was watching the videos they put on Waypoint (Link) and it looks like Skyline might also be making a return in Halo 5:

    4v4 is classic slayer people! Also REACH started as a 4v4 then later the 6v6 Invasion gametype was introduced (Awesome ass gametype). So I am willing to bet that 343 will start this off as a 4v4 and later on give us a crack at some of the larger maps and gametypes.

    REDD or BLUE Resistance comes through!

    Considering the MP beta is coming out almost a full year BEFORE the game launches, I'd be surprised if there was more than a few maps available AT ALL to play in a near-finished state. I'll take what I can get, and I'm hopeful that the three weeks of beta time will be used to better improve the game in the future.

    Didn't the H4 beta only have 4v4 also? Can't remember...

    Seems that 343i is trying hard to satisfy the competitive games... With all the pro players they've got helping with development, hopefully they don't end up scaring away the casual crowd.

    The largest thing that made Halo so successful was customization in custom games. all the way back to H2 zombies and Tower of Power, and then H3's Forge. Reach gave us gametype labels and Forge World. H4 gave a slight upgrade to it but not much besides dynamic lighting, which had pros and cons. the lack in H4's innovation was part of why the playerbase dropped so quickly, so hopefully H5 can bring some more powerful customization capabilities...

    Such as these: http://petetheduck.com/halo-5-forge-wish-list/

    From the first look video it seems like we're getting our hands on 7 4v4 maps and 3 game modes: http://youtu.be/PnMKTl9VhJU?t=56s

    And Myth I won't be surprised if we hear nothing about Forge until next year's E3. Hopefully sooner, but I think any info will definitely come after the H5 beta. Also H4 didn't have a public beta.

    Honestly, the only thing I like is the return of map dynamics. :c Hope they include new passenger aircraft ...

    The second image doesn't really look like Skyline to me. If you go back a few seconds: http://puu.sh/aPPsV/198376ae0b.jpg

    It looks more like Condemned from Reach to me, because of that vent-like area on the left, and it's way too spacious for Skyline, unless they maybe enlarged the map to 6v6 size.

    I had thought they said they were gonna give some basic details during GamesCon or something, but I guess I heard wrong. Oh well. :/

    Re: Oh My God Halo

    When they were listing off all the weapons for Halo 5, did anyone catch that light green tube looking weapon? Maybe it was a reskin of a previous one, but it looked new to me. Like a large grenade launcher.
