Learn to BxR and Double-shot noobs, it makes the game faster and more fun.

Although I doubt off-host grenade reloading will be in, because it is tied to peer to peer connections.

LOTS OF SCREENSHOTS

I can't handle this.

 

[Fracas]

yo dayummm

 

[Released]

Oh my fucking God. A reason to care about Halo again. I can't fucking believe it.

Damn is that really Johnson? I thought it was a picture of someone from mocap or something

 

[Poker Face]

The conference as a whole was pretty average I felt but holy fuck at the Halo announcement. I can't believe it was actually real.

Halo customs are coming back y'all

I'm so pumped.

 

[TheOddOne]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

I actually thought it was an amazing conference. It was entirely gaming. You didn't see shit about tv, etc. Crackdown, Halo, Sunset Overdrive. Those all blew me away.

 

[Computron]

Custom, matchmaking and Spartan ops modes all supported. One blu ray, one UI. Forge and theater will also work.

Halo 2 Vista maps as well?

SUPER CRAGMIRE EXTREME ULTRA EDITION AS WELL???!?!!!

 

[Woorloog]

IGN confirmed glitches and tricks will still work. So BxR is in too

I wondered whether they meant campaign only or also MP.
If MP too, as it appears to be, well, i won't be playing Halo 2 MP assuming i get Xbone.

If i can play purely Halo 3 MP... well, that would be nice. Worried about this "mix of all 3 games" MP, though perhaps it is merely a playlist.

 

[jelly]

Have they confirmed FOV improvements ?

 

[MrGreencastle]

Are those from Halo 2 cutscenes? Or from that movie?

 

[Welfare]

I need any

Spoiler

Webm

gifs injected into my blood.

 

[Obscured]

Who can teach me to be at least okay in Halo 2 MP?

 

[The Librarian]

I'll stick to Halo 1 and Halo 3 if the glitches get too bad for Halo 2, then.

 

[lizardwizarding]

I can be your captain, we set sail tomorrow on XBC!

 

[MrGreencastle]

I'm guessing terminals? I don't understand. That looks amazing.

My thoughts exactly.I'm sad there's no PC release but this is still pretty damned good.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Will each halo have their own original multiplayer?

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Going to Gamestop to get a Kinectless SKU TOMORROW

 

[wwm0nkey]

HNNNNNGGGGGG

 

[DJ Gunner]

For me, this is absolutely the megaton of megatons.

So unbelievably hyped- So much better than I even hoped.

 

[Killmanjaro81]

So happy, just so amazingly excited about this conference. Did everything right in my opinion. Phil Spencer <3

 

[wwm0nkey]

Will each halo have their own original multiplayer?

Yes, 1080p/60FPS for every game and dedicated servers.

 

[Superman x JLA]

All online, all 1080p, all 60fps. All co-op too.

H2 anniversary also has classic and new campaign graphics with instant switching.

Bumper jumper for h2?

 

[Overdoziz]

How many Cartographers will they abuse to maintain all these games?

 

[Gabotron ES]

ARBITUUUR

Halo 2 Vista maps as well?

We're getting the Vista maps, too. That is great, I was thinking they might just get omitted.

Why not wait for the inevitable master chief edition xbox one

 

[Competa]

Who is gonna cast The arbiter if Keith Davidson is the new guy ?!?!?! :S :S :S

Too much thinking !!

 

[Kibbles]

Fuck yes

Oh wow @ the CG cutscene screens :O


edit:

err shouldn't they be able to get away with more AA?

 

[Fuchsdh]

Reading the IGN infodump sounds like the multiplayer is being handled the way I'd like it. Blend of all the games in matchmaking via voting, and the complete map collections, the better to play customs on.

Still a lot to see how it works (are we stuck with each versions' iterations of Forge, for example), but still very very cool.

 

[Woorloog]

It was the Arbiter speaking to Locke.

 

[jem0208]

Cutscenes

 

[lizardwizarding]

Believe.

 

[TheXbox]

Wait so are all the cutscenes CG now? That would be such an improvement.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Custom, matchmaking and Spartan ops modes all supported. One blu ray, one UI. Forge and theater will also work.

Wow. That's impressive.

 

[heckfu]

I'll be in Seattle late July and late August. I'll let you boys know how it plays!

eh hmm. cough. etc.

 

[MrGreencastle]

Cutscenes

Fuck yes.

 

[wwm0nkey]

We're getting the Vista maps, too. That is great, I was thinking they might just get omitted.

Awesome!

I wonder if we are also getting PC content in Halo CE like the flmaethrower and timberland

 

[Fuchsdh]

Also, I really love the look of Chief's armor in this. Not really pearlescent like CE Chief but razor-sharp-looking.

The color's way too flat. Original Halo 2 had some metallic shine to it.

 

[BigShow36]

Last piece of this puzzle is going to be how well the party lobby system is handled. Each MP Suite should have it's own exclusive playlists in addition to the blended playlist. I really don't want to be forced to play Halo 3 or Halo 2.

 

[Onikaan]

So are we getting Halo 4 esque cut-scenes?!?!?

 

[Syphon Filter]

That Halo 5 small trailer is mixed. I saw arena and got happy but then i saw new abilities,not sure what it means exactly though.

 

[FourDoor]

Stinkles, can you clarify if the Halo 5 Beta invite and the other extras are exclusive to the disk only purchase or will those be available for us Digital Download only buyers as well?

 

[The Librarian]

So much awesome. Not sure if I can handle it all!

 

[wwm0nkey]

From the way Frankie was saying it, its not AAs so Im thinking it might be something everyone starts out with or find on the maps, which is 100% okay in my opinion if thats the case. Hope its on map though,

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Stylistically the updates to the Campaign look closer to Halo 2 than Anniversary looked closer to CE.
Thank you.

And based on those screenshots, the cutscenes look fantastic.

My only worry about the collection is the population. Looks like a packed Fall for multiplayer games on Xbox One.

So bring it to PC.

Still has the worst art style, the American Football of Halo 4.
