Jetpack+Sprint on The Pit
Grifball re-released for extra money
Map with a cheap kill switch
Mark V armor which was present in nearly all Halo games can now be bought with $$$
Tashi's got a boner

:lol

 

[FyreWulff]

Interested on how the weapon skins and armor will be updated into the maps, as I always though it was impossible, or atleast really hard to put in new sources into maps.

It's always been theoretically possible, Bungie just didn't want to break LAN compat before.

See also: the abandoned new armor for Reach.

Christ Doziz. You get a good amount of content for $10.

 

[Defect]

The Pit in Halo 4. Lol

 

[Nowise10]

This map worryingly reminding me of Abandon.

That is exactly what i was thinking. it has a pretty near similar layout

2 maps

eh

 

[Fracas]

That Vertigo map....both bases have a shoot-able switch that EMPs everyone's shields in the base. That sounds awful.

I bought the $100 dumb kid edition of the game that came with the season pass. This should be included, but apparently it's not?

 

[kittens]

This might be the second Halo 4 DLC pack I buy.

Might.

 

[wwm0nkey]

I LOVE dynamic events but not like this really.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

2 maps

eh

Maps, multiple armors, stances, skins. I'd love it to be free, but $10 isn't freaking me out.

Season pass detailed exactly what you got pre-launch, no? I think a few games have gone this route recently.

I think the season pass was only for the 3 map packs.

 

[kittens]

Why did they make the Pit so ugly? It wasn't pretty before, but now it's so damn drab. That color palette, god damn.

The backdrop looks great, at least.

 

[Ghazi]

nvm, Gaming Side

 

[Franklinator]

The Pit is cool, but this should all be free.

At the very least we should get it for 14 days. To balance it out and whatnot

 

[The Henery]

My stream died

How much will just the two maps be?

 

[kittens]

The Pit is cool, but this should all be free.

Especially since the game's population is so low. I'm worried we'll barely even get to play these maps.

What does it look like? Screen grab anyone?

I'll end up buying The Pit, but yeah, I doubt it'll ever come up. It's good for customs though.

 

[kittens]

Pretty sci-fi fantasy desert.

Edit : Ricochet looks pretty fun!

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Can someone post caps from the stream of the new maps? Im stuck at work.

I'll try.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Any word on Halo 4 for the One?

 

[Havok]

"It blends certain attack/defend mechanics from...gametypes from past Halos."

Not pictured: "that were omitted from our game because of reasons?"

I wonder what the Ricochet settings entail. Maybe you could make a classic Assault variant out of it...

 

[Nowise10]

What does it look like? Screen grab anyone?

Brownish, yellow, dark.

Im assuming to give off the abandoned and aging feel towards it.

 

[dragonelite]

haha halo handegg

 

[Steelyuhas]

Maps, multiple armors, stances, skins. I'd love it to be free, but $10 isn't freaking me out.

Armors, stances, skins, etc should be something added to the value of 3 maps for $10, not a replacement for one of the maps, which of course is the key component of value in a map pack.

Quick screencap

 

[Stinkles]

map pack with mode some bonus content is only six bucks. Not ten. Ten is everything for the lazy.

TU adds new code changes to answer that question. Ricochet goes into general matchmaking for everyone after two weeks and is tied to pitfall for first two weeks. Make sense?

And so you don't have to pay for that armor. I'm not seeing the issue here. They're not forcing you to get cosmetic stuff if you don't care.

 

[kittens]

I wonder if auto pick up is going to make Ricochet a lot less fun.

Also, seeing jetpack on the Pit is painful.

 

[Orochinagis]

Do I get the map pack with my season pass? Because I definitely should.

It should, I wont buy a two map, map pack.

 

[Dongs Macabre]

Was that a picture of an Elite on a wall on Pitfall?

Oh, okay that's a fair deal.

Yes.

Can I buy just Pitfall?

Sounds good to me.

 

[GrizzNKev]

When does the big announcement happen?

 

[Overdoziz]

Frank, where's Halo for steam?

 

[Blueblur1]

What I want to know is what happened to Certain Affinity. These used to make decent Halo maps.

 

[Omni]

Quick screencap

That's so awful. Who made these, CA?

Lol @ MK V. ODST looks good though.

 

[The Henery]

DERP QUESTIONS

 

[kittens]

DERP QUESTIONS

IT BEGINS

 

[Rickenslacker]

I always have to turn off at Q&As because the audience always makes me cringe.

So I'll take the opportunity to ask my own question, when's that Hola triology comin' to Steam FrankerZ?

 

[Mix]

No questions from me, too many people

 

[Steelyuhas]

CLASSIC PANEL QUESTIONS LOL

Plz tell me the entire plot of the next game!

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Halo 3 will be free probably around the time of the map pack, The Pit there will be better.

 

[versa7il]

New gametype looks good. Now remake midship and Im all set.
