Absolutely stunning

Can't begin to imagine how this would look in a remake. Just don't make redesigns too busy; simplicity can be much more striking. Although CEA looked very good, so I'm not too worried on that regard.

 

[AlStrong]

Nice shots... always enjoyed Bungie's backdrops.

Is the elites hand in the fifth one meant to be be like that?

Probably an LOD issue (lower poly), but that's the animation when whipping out the sword.

 

[Mix]

So for the technical folks:

You think they would do this for CE or just keep it restricted to Halo 2-4?

I still think people are crazy to think that we will get a halo game that will include THREE multiplayer suites in one title. I just really don't think it'll happen. With Halo 5 coming later next year, I simply do not see this being true. give me Halo 2, hell give me Halo 2 with the best maps of the series, Idgaf, but please don't force three or four FULL games into one. It's just not a good idea

 

[Juan]

If the MC collection is true, then it'll only be on the X1

I know, like I said, I was talking about the X360 version of Halo 4, which use a P2P sytem, and asked if Halo 4 for Xbox One is true, then how it will work against the X360 version.

They always look like that whipping out the sword? It is probably due to level of detail as you say.

Dammmmnnn

I read the synopsis of each book like a year or so ago, read all the terminals, post on GAF, and I have no fucking clue what's going on in Halo 4 and beyond. GG.

Some Forerunner whom there are two of hates humans. Which is weird, because in the last book I read he didn't. Anyways, he wakes up from his jail/tomb thing which also serves as a ship (huge design flaw there, Librarian), takes over his wifes army of beetleborgs made from dead humans, and does stuff. For whatever reason, other Forerunners didn't preserve themselves and just let the Halo rings wipe them out to stop the flood. So he is just pissed, blames humans for his species strange decisions, and then flies to earth to make a new army of beetleborgs. Stuff happens, he is 'stopped', presumed dead, but lets be honest, pulse grenades can't kill shit.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

lmfao demon, best synopsis for Halo 4 I've read

I wonder if 343 jokes about some of the decisions they made (ie: dat Pulse 'nade

Spoiler

can't kill shitttttttttttttttttt

).


EDIT: RIP Chatter ;'[ -- Hopefully it's not permanent.

 

[Orochinagis]

Wow. Such amaze.
- Halo: everything in one edition confirmed
- RIP Chettlar
- Escalations is escalating

Spoiler

(well actually only the angry discussion in forums)

go Palmer.

Over on Waypoint someone

Spoiler

said the SoF captured Flood spores in cryo for future study, did this happen in escalations? I don't recall it at all in Wars.

No, unless 343i retconed that.

EDIT :

Ironman Palmer threatening humans because is badass

First time I really see Palmer as a badass character. More like this for the future please. <3

Add "egghead" to it and she's just spouting her usual lines.

We better not get "Tony Stark Vision" closeups on a frequent basis in Halo 5. I can already hear the slrp slrp "for dynamic custom Spartan dialog in campaign, each helmet needed a unique holo-visor wow such attention to detail much bungie very saved!" compliments. Kill me.

I like more the ODST glass visor close up rather than Ironman vision

There might be a second animation with the elite holding the sword inwards, across his body.

Anyways, here's an example of the one like the image:

I agree. I dunno why Bungie regressed with Reach but yeah, polarizing visors for the Spartans seems like a good idea. In the comics, though, it's not really a good option (hence the Iron Man effect.)

If anyone needs it for whatever reason, here's a sloppily cleaned up version of the Halo 4-era Halo logo:

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Frankie and Kiki in Belfast? Auditions? Meeting Davidge for recordings?

Pre-production planning for Master Chief's unveiling as Benjen Stark in the next season of Game of Thrones?

Spoiler

Or general filming / pre-production for the Ridley Scott "movie"?

 

[TheOddOne]

C) Eating meat pies.

This is a more solid storyline than I expected after 4/Spartan Ops. GG.

I'm pretty damn excited for the new live action Halo thing.

Nice to see Belfast get some more use and exposure.

NI could use a lot more. That GOT money won't last forever.

 

[Nebula]

The Mountain is being recast again and MC is stepping in.

I dunno why I think this but I have a feeling I've read the Ridley Scott thing is not live action.

My dream is it's about the Flood aboard Spirit of Fire. Think Halo x Alien

 

[Syphon Filter]

 

[l Zealot l]

So this was actually confirmed?

Exaggeration, the guy who said it had his source verified but that still doesn't mean all that much.

10/10. I would give it a 9.8 but there simply isn't enough perks and ordnance.

No, unless 343i retconed that.

EDIT :

Ironman Palmer threatening humans because is badass

I thought as such. Might just be Waypoint, they run their own race sometimes.

Oh Palmer don't you go changing into a likable character anytime some thnx <3

MGS GZ brought this song into my world so I curiously looked into it.

Wow such depth, So Kojima, Many feels

 

[Fuchsdh]

I really like the simplified Halo logo, although I'll always probably prefer the original for nostalgia's sake.

Thank god they didn't stick with the horrible Reach one though.

Was chatting with Barlow a couple of days ago. We thought it'd make sense if the multiplayer was actually split out on the One to some neutral Halo Infinity thing, so in that context just porting the Halo 2 / 3 / 4 maps to some sort of Halo: Infinity would make sense. Then you'd buy Halo 5: Guardians, and it gives you it's maps and campaign. Then you buy whatever game comes after, and it just adds maps to Halo Infinity, etc etc

In that context, it'd be perfectly feasible to just make every gun from every game included, and handle it all via Forge/Gametypes.


I mean, technically in Reach they could have just put the actual Halo 1 Pistol in the map files for Anniversary, then made a special gametype to let you spawn with it. Would have had the original look and HUD and clip size, and as it turned out, they weren't interested in using the Anni gametypes outside of Anni maps, so it would have been the same effect.

Downside would be masssssive quitting if you tried to make it so it was something like you choose the games/gametypes as one vote, people would ragequit for Haloes they didn't want to play, so you'd have considerable number of playlists trying to please fans of 3 different games.

We had that conversation too. We thought it was kind of funny that they're probably going to stop using the .map and tag architecture on Halo 5 even though the fact that all XBone games have to be installed anyway makes it viable to use.

Before, the issue was that using tags made it so that you'd have to redownload each patched .map, which wasn't viable because they were all on the disc and not the HDD. Now that they have to be on the HDD we're steering away from it even though it would finally function.

Does the xbone's controller use different wireless spec than the 360's controller? When they release the PC driver, how will you use a wireless controller with the PC?

if its a new dongle, I hope its tiny like these $5 usb bluetooth stubs you can buy.

Bone's wireless is different than the 360 wireless. I believe it's Wifi Direct on the One.
