Halo 5 plays like the original trilogy confirmed.

I figure the TV show is just a teaser at most, i got an impression they had just begun the damn project last year, and revealed it because "Xbox=Halo", not because there was anything to really say about it at the moment.
Of course, i may as well be wrong. But i won't be surprised if...
...
Wait, two shows? Smaller?

Of course. Halo is still a console seller, just to a smaller target audience now. It's name needs to be paraded around the X1, even if it's just in concept stage.
Two shows. Someone put up a article on it the other day
http://variety.com/2014/digital/news/seth-green-sarah-silverman-get-xbox-series-1201153367/
Two shows. The other one has gone right under my radar.
Okay, i believe it might actually have something more substantial than a mere teaser but the main TV show surely won't be shown yet (seriously, they haven't announced any casting details or anything, have they? I reckon it is still in pre-production).
In any case, i'm starting to doubt existence of Halo 2 Anniversary for some reason. Probably because ntkrnl's other claims (like Halo ports for Xbone) sounded odd.
Though getting Halo 5 this year sounds odd too, MS can't go a year without a Halo game (let's be honest, last year was really a year without Halo, Spartan Assault doesn't really count).

But we're talking about Halo 2 here. I'm pretty sure the demo isn't supposed to be done until it's being demoed on stage; the programmers piecing the level together just in front of Master Chief's every step.

I wonder if they will do something with that if they make H2A. Like, remake the demo level and make it playable somehow, as a side mission or something. That would be cool.

If Bungie were remaking it, then i would expect something like this. I find it very unlikely though, with 343 behind the helm. It would be pretty cool though. Even if it wasn't playable, I'd still like to see it at E3, just for old times sake.

Play CTF. If it's laggy or your team sucks just hightail it out of there tbh.
I like the map Simplex but it gives me frame rate loss up the ass.

Active Camo is like the biggest troll this game has to offer.

I think jetpack is worse, if only by a little.

Nope. Camo takes the cake for me. Especially when they've got snipes on Ragnarok.
You don't even need camo for some spots like at the top of the rock at the valley wall end.

Same. Every time Camo gets brought up I cringe at the fact that they brought it back after the overwhelming negative reception it had from Reach.

Ah, I don't play much big team so it's less of a problem for me. I can see it being annoying on huge maps.

Maybe if we say we love it, they'll scrap it for Halo 5..?
Yeap. It drives me absolutely crazy
Surely someone tested this game during development. HOW DID ANYONE NOT SPEAK UP ABOUT IT. Along with jetpack it's one of the most annoying and cheap things in the damn game
Nah, Josh Holmes said the same thing.
So unless the whole studio had a bunch of donuts and got food poisoning....
Lol
I just hope the next Halo has invisibility like in Halo 3, both having it be as an on-map pickup (instead of loadout) AND as a thing that you always have, instead of going away when you move. Been playing Reach lately, and goshdangit do I hate that.

Like someone said before the studio probably hit an internal development milestone, hopefully a new feature more akin to Forge in H3 and Megalo in Halo Reach than H4's muh personal ordnance.
I just remebered H4 doesn't have Campaign/Spartan Ops theater mode and campaign scoring at all, I can't be the only one who feels like H4 was kinda rushed right? plus that Theater/Forge downgrade and no proper ranking and fileshare at launch...
Hopefully 343 is more familiar with their tools now.

Well, then, I mean maybe I'm reading into it wrong, but I'd think it would be more of a calm satisfaction type thing. (ok, not "calm" you get what I mean).
The "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww yiss" implies something just happened that made them super excited. Reaching milestones don't get you "excited." Happy? Yes. But see, you expect to reach a milestone, and you can see the milestone coming all the way until you get there. Excited implies something amazing just happened that they may or may not have totally expected. As in, no way could they have see it turning out this good.

Fixed it.
Most annoying to least.

He's correct with what he posted, although that's not always the case. That being said, it should be noted how much 343 hyped Spartan Ops and look how that turned out.
Take everything said from here on out with a grain of salt IMO.
One of the biggest lost opportunities
I think Halo PC has custom maps with boats on them though. Here's to hoping for a Steam rerelease.
So they can be even more efficient with adding shitty stuff? Familiarity with tools doesn't fix broken understanding of game balance.
-- According to Isaac Hannaford that boat was working in-game in Halo: Reach.
-- The modded boat maps tend to be pretty ......... bad. If there is a Steam release it may be CEA, in which case you're probably SOL for custom maps.
Yeah, get that water tessellation back in there again. I was under the impression that they had gotten rid of it in Reach (after it being in 3), but apparantly it's still there, it's just really low quality and is rarely really noticeable.
We need Cryengine levels of tessellation.

It's in Halo 4 as well, the puddles after you first get the warthog react.
Boat concept looks cool. Another level to the sandbox but perhaps limited. Three tier rush would be cool, on foot first then ground vehicles then water and air to finish it off.
It's in Reach, just more aggressively LOD'd for performance reasons. Also, I think there was some adjustment for artistic reasons.. the way water acts sometimes in Valhalla looks like progammer-art waves.

Probabaly has something to do with the Phil Spencer meeting/thingy he's doing with his new employees.
EDIT: My fellow HaloGAF, would these shoes be too nerdy/borderline ugly? I really like them and am considering a purchase, but I don't want to look like a massive nerd at school.
I don't mean to be rude but have you heard of the phrase more money than sense? This is probably what it applies to not mention their down right ugly.

I don't think they're hideous myself. I really like the yellow laces, and I like the green padding but the black looks horrible and I don't like the yellow "Halo" text. Honestly the shoes design is so damn generic and the combination of colors clash so much and make me want to puke.
This is why I want feedback, I have bad taste in clothing when it comes to them being related to a show/game I like.
0/10 would not wear. Sorry bud, but those are ugly af.Probabaly has something to do with the Phil Spencer meeting/thingy he's doing with his new employees.

So you don't even like them that much then yet you want to buy them and wear the around? What's wrong with a normal pair of shoes?
Oh I can tell that...I have bad taste in clothing when it comes to them being related to a show/game I like.

It's not just in big team, it shows up in CTF and they're constantly getting crap like sniper, beam or fuel rod cannon. It's just incredibly stupid, you already have the tough task of trying to ping a sniper AND they have camo too? I feel like I'm being trolled every time it happens. Just why is this in game.
Free map pack codes I (literally) had laying around.

My "great day" drive-by yesterday was about the game. Graphics, particularly. I saw something unexpected. Nothing to do with framerate or res. Just experiential fidelity.
