Forge + Terrain editing from Farcry.

Forge is awesome but limited. It does take some work to actually make something good. If you invest 50+ hours in to it, you know the thing inside and out.

And then you can play your map with a few friends, they need a way for custom maps to be put into a 'experimental' hopper and then have the bad ones be blamed, and the good ones kept.

That definitely looks like a rail gun, follows the unwritten sci-fi rule of how rail-guns should look.

Those are some sweet grunt designs look like bipedal sharks. Instead of clumsy troll.
Not sure how i will like that Grunts were a bit of comic relief.

The weapon drop system is called “Ordinates”. They drop down from the skies (Frank mentions the ODST’s pods), they can kill the player if they are close when they’re landing. The player will be informed that it is incoming though.

I called it!

One way I could see 'random' weapon spawns happening is maybe having 4 or 5 power weapon spawn points on each map. A power weapon will spawn at a point randomly on a visible timer.

You get a waypoint to show a weapon will spawn there next but also it shows a timer showing how long until it appears.

It could even be firefight style where it is dropped in a pod on the map.

Do you think they have renamed War House because it will inevitably be referred to as Whore House?

I'm actually very excited for all of these formula changes, mostly because I feel like it could potentially reinvigorate the competitive community and spark some more support from MLG. I feel like these changes could really shift the dynamic of how the game plays at a core level, and hopefully bring back interest, as well as a new crowd of gamers.

In the Sparkast they chuckled while saying they changed the name of the map. Nothing was set in stone though, even the vidoc said that stuff was subject to change.

Just found this over at the Waypoint forums: small details from the Dutch mag Power Unlimited.

  • Jackals are confirmed (no big suprise) and described as having a face that resembles "an evil crossbreed between a shark and an iguana".
  • Returning Covenant in general are described as "coming straight out of a survival-horror game" (in terms of looks).
  • The UNSC Infinity will show up during the Campaign.
  • Matchmaking area of Infinity will be called "War Games".
  • BR is being described as "single shot" and DMR as "burst" (Mistake?).
  • Author states the multiplayer feels "f---ng amazing!", after saying he didn't really like Reach that much.
  • "Perks" seem to be called "Modifications". Example given is that the author could carry (a few) more grenades.
  • Plasma Rifle has been replaced with what he personally calls the "Covenant Assault Rifle" which spews "a storm of blue balls", and is described as "incredibly awesome".
  • He states the classic "chanting monks" tune WILL in fact be back.

Is the Dutch game press even worse then the US one?
