I'm bumping this show down to a 5/10 for emotional reasons.
Gosh darnit did Microsoft screw up with Gears and do poorly with Halo. Last year's show made me really really excited for both of these and now I'm essentially uninterested in Gears again and non hopeful with Halo. I'm still excited for Halo Infinite but it's falling back into the Halo 5 pt 2 camp instead of the omg Halo is back! camp.
That Gears trailer was just so horrible. Cool opening up of the stage, fine multiplayer trailer, but just such a waste of time on the campaign side of things. It would be a good video on its own as part of marketing but it was bad in a E3 conference and super bad given the rest of the context.
