Microsoft Studios streamed their glorious Opening Cinematic, and pumps some serious andrenaline, gravity defying scenes in it.
And for added measure the sequence contains instantly identifiable actor voices and visages like Mike Colter as Agent Locke, and Firefly‘s Nathan Fillion.
With a high flying long take that has these soldiers entering the battlefiled with grace of a giselle fused with the strong pimp-arm tactics of a silverback gorilla, Halo 5 is certainly laying it heavy on our sci-fi FPS sensibilities.
Description reads:

In the cinematic, the group receives UNSC orders to recover a high value target and deploy to take on Covenant and Promethean forces in a fierce action sequence – the start to the most ambitious, robust and epic Halo campaign experience yet.
