I think we can all agree that Halo 5 will probably have space battles. (We saw something of one in a trailer, although that does not look like it's spaceships, just banshees you can fly.
Wtf are you talking about. The space battle in Halo 4 shits on the garbo we got in Reach.
Reach: blow up these retextured space phantoms
Halo 4: blow up massive cannons aboard a ship hovering over the Earth while your jet is strapped with a nuke to save the planet
Dat skybox in H4 easily madeup for it. I will admit neither game's space missions were really good. But in H4 the sounds and visuals slightly made up for it. Flying the Broadsword was tons o fun, but it was ugly as hell and didn't look like something that belongs in space.
New pelican is hideous too.
