Halo 4 |OT2| TURBO
- Thread starter Tashi
- Start date
It's still in development so I'm not sure what rock behavior will be when it ships. I can assure you that the map right now is stunning and am honestly shocked that looks this good and it's not even finished. We'll be revealing more about the other recreated maps in the coming months! IGN just did a Cairo Station play with Frank & Dan. I'm sure you'll be able to see it on YouTube soon.

Tashi, anything you can say about the Elite's shields and their lack of "pop"? Will that be intensified before release?
I got it already boo

The remakes of maps aren't actually running on Halo 2's engine. Frankie said it's a like a modern Halo 2 with the remakes.

i'm really confused with the whole original multiplayer as well as a new multiplayer engine for the xbox one deal, can someone clear this up for me?
Halo 2 Forge is mindblowing. The entire goddamn collection is.
Seems like playlists are gamertypes with only some games supported in each hopper. Interesting. They seemed to imply that they are making it so only the best gametypes get played on the maps they are best for.
Hope the population will be fine.
Lets bring back the dong parties boys
Also, they seemed to stress the arena competetive mp in H5 Beta. Kinda coincides with the rumor that Halo 5 will have a split between the arena gameplay and some largr scale gameplay
And yeah, I think the H2A maps will be played on some kind of a hybrid engine. The Banshee flip is what gave it away.

Every single game will have the entire mp engine remade as well as ALL the maps.
Then 6 maps have been selected from the Halo 2 selection which have ALSO been remade in a new engine.

So for the MP gametypes, does Halo 1,2 and 3 use the Blam Engine and Halo 4 the Megalo engine? or they all use Megalo now?
lol, totally up to collaborate on it though, especially with you <3

Do we have a confirmation that weapons in h5 are customizable now? At least in the CGI Trailer theres a BR with doubled clipsize and no scope

Fixed. I can't wait to start up customs again!
Oh lord. Please no.
So how does the matchmaking work? I kind of hope it isnt what i think it is, where you're put into a voting lobby, where you can vote for like, a Halo 2, or Halo 3, or Halo 4.
If I want to play Halo 2 matchmaking, and people vote for Halo 3, that is extremely lame. Not only that, but every single game you'd have to adjust to the button layouts for each game.

There is combined playlists and pure playlist I think?

It's not a BR if the clip size is double that of the BR.
I thought we were over this?

I believe you'd be able to filter MM by the specific game or playlist (if you don't care which Halo you're playing).

It looks exactly like a BR
I know its two different spartans here, but both have no visiors on their BR
Maybe to make up for the lack of scope attached you are given more ammunition? A trade-off to be made, if you go with the scope you get less ammunition, if you go without you get more ammunition.
Gotta get Xbones first.

I don't think it's a BR, and I think you're jumping to conclusions.
You know you two are both basing your assumptions on the same amount of information, right?
Also there's the fact that the gun in the trailer looks almost identical tot he Halo 4 BR aside from the lack of a scope and a slightly different paint job, right down to the position of the vents (or whatever those holes are supposed to be).
I wonder if they will do map packs or do some form of monetization.
so what we do know is that we don't know what it is, but the other person is wrong.
got it.
HALOGAF IS BACK TO NORMAL PRAISE JESUS.

Yeah, anyone know of a place we can watch it again? Found nothing on Youtube yet.
I was talking to my dong brothers! But I guess we did have Devo join us every now and then and complain about grenades the entire time.
Gonna bring back the Great Cleansing. The only downside to the MC collection is no Slayer Unlimted on Zealot or Oddball Swordbase. Oh well.
Yeah, didn't the AR in Halo CE have 72 rounds per clip?

Not assuming anything:
What I am saying is that we shouldn't jump to conclusions based on a few snippets of video.

Frank is in great shape.
Halo 2 forge, someone explain? Is it the new remastered maps or like all Halo 2 maps.
Backwash is never running at 60fps.
Was that a terminal on Cairo Station?
Why is the BR ammo counter red?
Really hyped for this, any plans on a special edition?

Indeed, and there was another weapon on the key art which looked exactly like a BR and had a reflex sight on it.
I'm not saying, I'm just saying...

I will call this a safe bet.

Most of the time you 4-shotted out of scope (especially outside of H4).
Who's to say they haven't just refined the gun roles again.
No scope on the BR // H:CE Pistol with scope = Mid-range
DMR = Long-range
AR // SMG = Close-range

I don't need to know exactly what it is to say that I think some people are jumping to conclusions because we have limited information. Everyone should wait for more information. That could be a BR. Who knows. But speculating about customizable weapons and worrying based on very, very, very small portions of a short teaser seems rather silly to me.

That's a Halo 4 BR without a scope and some minor tweaking.
But ammo and lack of a scope I can chalk up to animation errors at this stage.

This thing with 72 ammo is definitely the same BR Model we see in the trailer on the blue spartan. It just matches perfectly in every term of the shape, even the yellow stripes on the front are exactly the same
In the H5 Concept Art we also saw the new guy carrying the H5 BR with a visor. So how can this not be a sign for customization?

It had 60 rounds in a clip.
Second one looks yucky. Vault and sliding is alright, I guess, but whenever I see jet flares coming out the back of a Spartan I cringe. Just stop, 343.Vault:
Smash (Jetpack?):

Low quality but here's Cairo Station on H2A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtLBGdykQPU

It can be a sign they haven't finalized the design of a weapon for a game that isn't coming out for over a year...
