With the launch of Halo 5 Guardians getting closer by the day, now seems like a decent time to show off the opening cinematic for the game. So that’s exactly what has happened!
Featuring Fireteam Osiris, the elite team comprises of:
- Spartan Jameson Locke – Before he was a Spartan, Locke was an ONI Acquisitions Specialist – an expert in tracking, asset recovery, and elimination of high value targets
- Spartan Olympia Vale – A child prodigy, Vale’s innate skill in languages led to a career as a Navy liaison with the Sangheili post-war
- Spartan Holly Tanaka – After surviving the glassing of her homeworld, Tanaka joined the Army, looking for a chance to save others from the same fate
- Spartan Edward Buck – During his service as an ODST, Buck’s personnel profile suggested “if he were any better he’d be a Spartan”
Watch below as the team 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.

That was awesome. Cannot wait for this game to come out! Took off work on the 28th. I would take that entire week but the wife would kill me…
I reckon it’s worth the risk Jared 😉
