Chettlar, that is amazing. Simply amazing.

After playing with some friends again, the Halo 4 campaign was boring. Sure, the cut-scenes are good, but the engagements themselves were pretty dull. Probably the only Halo campaign I can't finish in one sitting. Hopefully the Xbox One will let 343 run wild with campaign.

Don't forget the great cutscene near the end of the game on the mission Composer.

Masterchief: A Halo Ring?
*Original Halo theme plays"
Cortana: The composer isn't on the ring.
...
Cortana: Its on....this space station next to the Halo ring.

are you flipping kidding me.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

I will try to be on later, probably after 9. Related: I'm the only white person in my apartment right now.

Spoiler

I may be on later. It depends on if the Wild win or not.

 

[Ghazi]

Prinz, I see you on Netflix, wanna play now?

MC :"The index!!"
Cortana: "Nah Chief lets get going ASAFSASG LIE FOR ME!!!! ASASASDDS!!!!!"

Wow Chettlar, that is some good stuff there! Everyone covered what I would have said about it.

To get off topic here but can someone help me to find the download link to get Halo CE and Halo 2 for the PC. I been using my Surface Pro 2 for a little while and I am loving it. I just want a few games for it now. Also any good steam games to recommend. This is my first time getting into PC gaming stuff lol ... So any recommendations would help a lot.

@Chettlar: Don't have much time, but you did a really good work, both in a ergonomic way (especially on the way you could switch between screens using triggers, that wa a good idea in Halo 4 but it wasn't use in the same way, and you did it well) and UI design, maybe fonts are a bit too little, on the playlist selection screen which make it hard to read, and it would be better to make it bigger.

I hope I will have some time this week to write you someting more consistent because there are some mistakes too, but once again, you really did a good work, be proud.

 

[LinkToTheFuture]

Such a beautiful U.I. I very much miss the look of halo 2/3/reach U.I. I honestly don't know what it is exactly but the nostalgia with the quick functionality just makes it very desirable. Halo 4's wasn't horrible but in comparing them maybe it was. I put so much time into playing halo 4 with friends but outside that it was very frustrating =( Seeing what if halo2a images and possible "what could be" halo 5 images hopefully isn't setting me up for any disappointment when these games launch.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

there he goesss

Hmm? You mean you're gamertag has an * in it?

Nah just joking about how my name is all caps ;b

Another thing:

I really hope they let us do way more with the poses, similar to what you mentioned here. For example, letting us choose which weapon our character model is holding.

Juan is pleased.

No one want(s)(ed) to play Halo?

Juan is easy to please. :-3

Pretty cool, Chettlar. What's impressive to me is that this is made in PowerPoint.
I use it every day, but I would never be able to make something that detailled.

I can get on, but I need food. I crashed last night after I posted, lol.

Sure, I'll have to get off later for AP exams, but I should be good for another hour or two hours.

Sry, recovering from my girlfriend's family visiting and I'm going to get some hours in at work today so I can cut back on my 12-hour days during the week. RIP my free time

Nah man, it's all good, personal stuff totally takes precedent!

Appreciate it!

And I look forward to your critiques. I've always loved UI stuff (I used powerpoint a lot when I was younger making operating system UIs, fake game UIs, and all that), but this is by far my best one, though really the first one I've done for quite some time. So yeah, I look forward to what you have to say about it.

Fuck you Blue team

lol.

I can't contain my hype. Interesting that they keep showing the PS4 version (I'm assuming)

Well they've made no bones about it that the primary platform for it is PS4. Apparently Bungie is in love with a lady called Sony.

Makes sense. It would be the prettiest version, too.

 

[Chettlar]

I was bored so I decided to try and make my own mockups.


Chettlar's is way better.

Makes me think of a phone UI, actually.

So they ships were re designed from star fox ships to decepticons

 

[FYC]

So I caught up with Escalation. It's pretty interesting so far. Next issue in particular sounds neat:

The saga of Halo Wars enters the modern age as Infinity struggles to liberate the long-lost Spirit of Fire from the deadly Vata ’Gajat. Meanwhile, Petra’s search for the identity of Infinity’s spy could result in her death. The Halo universe is on the brink of a new galactic war!

Oh, and if anyone has a Comixology account, they sent everyone a $5 coupon because of some issues they've been having. They have a few Halo series you can use it towards.

So yeah. Megapost (well, not really. The pictures are what make it big).

Good stuff!

 

[Booties]

Need one for actual halo fun.

 

[User 73706]

Vata 'Gajat better be pronounced as "Gayat." Neat Elite name. Vata "Gajat" sounds dumb.

Classisc star wars system name name in star...oh.......

 

[Tzeentch]

Just one more name for certain people to hilariously mispronounce

 

[bidguy]

why are halo players babbies

 

[Steelyuhas]

I can't contain my hype. Interesting that they keep showing the PS4 version (I'm assuming)

Sony and Activision have a marketing and content deal for Destiny. It's likely that almost all promo footage and advertising with be PS4-based.

 

[Tawpgun]

why are halo players babbies

It's because halo was a hugely successful fps on console and pc players were salty a game that simple and dumbed down could be so popular. And also it's colorful sci fi pallete

 

[FyreWulff]

The guy in the lower left has that face only dads have

Like you get assigned that face once your kids is born

It's like how when women hit age 65 they're renamed to Opal

 

[Gabotron ES]

Just stumbled upon a webm of Shangheli porn, the whole thing is so well done that it looks like some kind of high budget cgi porn, it's scary to think someone took the time to make that.

WORT WORT WORT

Edit: bottom right kid is the best one lol

Oh, yeah, I think I saw that One.
Targeted advertising for sure. Google sure knows I like the Arbiter.

 

[Exploratory]

So how many people here have an XB1 or are planning to get one this year? I'm wondering because I'm trying to decide which console to get and Halo is a special series for me but I've never had a decnt group to play with.

Also hello HaloGAF.

I saw a meme with that kid saying his gamertag was xx pussyslayer 420 xx. So gud.

Is the the Scott Free films Halo thing?

Yes, and Spielberg's show is an AI's erotic love story.

I should get one in june. And I'll play it a lot next year (moving in a new city, plenty of free time until I start making friends and stuff). Though I'm french and my accent sucks. This is probably not what you're looking for.

Rest assured a lot of people here will move to the next Halo.

I bet when that kid laughs he makes the same sound forest gump makes after he hears his teacher bang his mom.

I'm really curious to see what the PS3 and 360 versions are capable of. I'm sure they will be pushing the systems to the absolute max.

 

[Mistel]

Do kids always look like that?

 

[wwm0nkey]

So Halo CE running at 7680x4320 down sampled to 1080p

 

[Woorloog]

Halo 3 models are really out of place there... I tried this ODST map for Halo CE... eh, nope. (It having ENB and thus killing the performance didn't help any)

 

[Chettlar]

Somebody made a "Halo Lore Thread" over in gaming side.

 

[Korten]

Hopefully you guys like it, I made it caused I was asked... and also because since this is a dedicated Halo 4 thread, it's good to have a thread that's dedicated to the series overall.

Yeah, well, the Halo community thread got locked.

Cuz...reasons.

So basically we're taking shelter her until E3 when we get to make another dedicated community thread.

Well in the lore thread we're avoiding talking about stuff like gameplay and multiplayer, just purely the lore and nothing else.
