Yea but it would suck if Halo has no future.

Hm, so will they stop using the waypoint twitter handle?
Hopefully that means they can drop "Waypoint"... Never liked the site or the apps. Just get them to ape the old Bungie.net forums, have stats accessible without having to sign in, to get more" legitimacy" they can just redirect Waypoint to 343industries.net or .com

lol if a placeholder gets people upset, imagine the actual announcement of the return of infinity slayer (if it's the default slayer gametype)

The site needs an overhaul. it looks as bad as the interface in halo 4.

Nah, the Waypoint stat interface makes the Halo 4 interface look godly.
Better die as a hero before becoming the villian huh.

Hey Frankie, is it intentional that the main two-note string harmonic thing in Nemesis / Revival is basically just the opening synth melody to Overcome from the Ark's second suite in the Halo 3 OST, but reversed?
Impressive graphics.
New features.
(Still, I'm not THAT interested in a remake, but I've come to embrace it over the months. I still remember being criticized here for saying a remake sucks because it isn't new enough)
Nice. What will happen, then? Will they move their publications there?
Seems risky. I guess they'll probably use both.

you can change twitter names so they'll probably change @halowaypoint to just @halo and keep the followers and stuff.
Ah, ok. My social media knowledge just isn't that good, I guess.
Funny thing, I learned the exact same thing for Facebook pages just a few days ago.

I sense mild excitement in HaloGAF.
Did Palmer get declared non canon?
So most of the leaks are getting confirmed, I really hope H2A with MP does to.

It is really crazy to think it wont happen at this point, I bought an Xbox One today because there is no way in hell it isn't happening
*Also because Sunset looks cool and it was a good deal
Nobody told me that hell froze over.
Pay day is a bad day for me making financial decisions :c

E3 H2A trailer:
"10 years ago Halo 2 changed the way you play multiplayer, that was 10 years ago, this is now!"
*video starts playing of what appears to be a few Halo 2 maps, but with jetpacks and other various armor abilities.*
I'm just preparing everyone for the worst case scenario.
Mine is currently sitting in my closet, lol. Owning both platforms so early was a bad idea.

But don't worry, if you want that classic Halo feel check out this throwback playlist in Halo 4 matchmaking! (Requires all DLC - current population 172)
Besides the occasional round of KI here and there I imagine mine will be as well until more games and H2a start hitting

This is why I'm keeping my hype in check. I have nightmares of a mantis on waterworks.
Same, it was taking up space and my friends are all ready back on 360.
At least the Halo 4 LE console keeps centre of attention in my cabinet until H2A.
Halo CE LAN
Halo 1 on the original Xbox, come watch, marvel at the glorious split screen FoV of Halo CE.

For shame m0nkey, for shame.. PvZ Garden Warfare or bust. I'll be playing tonight if you want to hop on, so prepare yourself for great times IF you're down ;]
Yes, it's a beautiful thing. Using that powerful little weapon and not having it take up much screen space feels great.
EDIT:
Nice! I'm hyped :]
Well I wont get the Xbox until the 14th/15th and I will be in Chicago for a convention at that time but when I get back I am totally down for some PvZ actually!

...Haven would be an amazing vehicle map if it were blown up by about 500%.
Which in turn makes Bungie's Halo 2 stats look like they are ascending to their planar form.

"10 years ago Halo 2 changed the way you play multiplayer. But it wasn't the game everyone wanted. So here's Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary 2! The original campaign has been remastered again, without any frame drops this time! This time it's complete with the Anniversary 2 map pack for Halo 4*! Only for Xbox One**!
*Xbox Live Gold Subscription required to play Anniversary gamemodes
**Kinect required"
Watch as the collective Halo fanbase has an aneurysm.
No it wouldn't.

Throw in some grav lifts and infantry passageways and it's just as good as any Halo PC BTB map.

See, again, Ozzy, they specifically refrain from saying Halo 5, even though we all know (and they have said officially) that Halo 5 is indeed coming at some point.
H2A also explains the 2014 title being a legitimate entry to the series without being Halo 5.
C'mon man. The stars are aligning. Look up, dammit.
Paging Barrow
Looks fairly nice. I'm pretty amazed they can get intricate details of the armor in a figure like that these days.

Sideshows figures are extremely detailed but extremely expensive, I am still salty about the cancelled cortana figure.

Don't forget the fan favorite "These Covenant seem more fanatical than the ones we've fought before."
What about "Is it true?" ?

How have they not made flash drives based on Cortana's chip or computer towers with the Forerunner display port shells?

Let my XBL expire for the first time without the immediate intent of renewal. Feels weird, man.
I'll probably spend Speedy levels of dough on Black Friday for an XBO, though.

I was joking, I assumed that would be evident.
Although, why continue to invest money in something that is outright hated by the community is beyond me. I assume they had already made plans to create a few comics with Palmer in them as the main focus before negative fan reaction had kicked in.
Saw this on the Halo FB page, would buy.
Looks like it's on the large side of their ARTFX line, so probably retailing for about $125?
People can say what they want about Halo 4 but the chief looked cool.

The main thing i didn't like is the chest,not much armor and it looks a bit bulky. Also the back thruster pops out too much and the shoulder pads look like they are floating.
Ein Bear

I strongly dislike the Halo 4 Chief design. I really don't like what they did to the helmet, and the chest area doesnt have enough armour.
Though I thought the Halo 2/3 design was a downgrade too. The CE design is the GOAT.
