Halo 5's Intro Cinematic Is Insane

If Halo 5: Guardians' intro cinematic is any indication, the action sequences in the upcoming sequel are insane. Yes, this is all a bit of really good CGI, but the fast-paced Spartan action looks as good as what we saw in the E3 gameplay demo.

Here we see a new group of Spartans, Fireteam Osiris, led by Mike Colter's Agent Locke, drop into action on a mission to save Dr. Catherine Halsey, who has some new information on a string of attacks occurring on human colony planets. 

There's also a lot of Nathan Fillion action. He reprises his role as Edward Buck, an ODST turned Spartan. Fillion's character has become a favorite in the Halo universe after his appearance in Halo 3: ODSTand the EU books.
