It's not a multiplayer based announcement, so it will be the other one. I just hope 343i puts the right spin on it, otherwise people are going to throw a hissy fit.

The kinect features? We've yet to hear what they're going to be.Vinterbird said:

I think they will be shown ther,e but what they demoed to me was not that, but something new for C.E, which I found terribly exciting, especially for what it will mean for the future of the series and MS in general.
If you want to just up and violate your NDA/break embargo, go for it. Otherwise I'm not sure what good all the hinting is doing. We'll find out on Friday as planned.Vinterbird said:
I'm assuming it's the Kinect integration you are referring to, likely confined to the terminals.

Yeah, sorry about that. Just wanted to say that there will be something else apart from the Kinect stuff announces, so there's more then expected to look forward to.

Is anyone going to make a Halo Fest thread? Or do we have one already?

As we draw near to PAX I would ask again, if any kind soul going to PAX and Halo Fest could grab me a bit of swag as I do not have the funds to make it out this year I would pay shipping and be forever grateful. 
I'll miss the second annual NeoGaf HaloGaf breakfast, it was fun meeting you all last year and heading to the panel to wait in line for like an hour. (Devin and Ghaleon specifically).

As if further proof were needed, someone one the Halo forums has done a little more digging:

There's a really good possibility that a new helmet will be added to the Armory, but as to bears I dare not speculate.[Nintex] said:

I really hope we can play all the old maps in system link mode with old Halo CE gameplay in CEA. That would make the lack of CEA online sting less.

Just a simple HD remaster of Halo 2 with mp would be fine. Release it on Live and be done with it. But I guess you would have that, 3, and then Reach, community split up big time.
Though Halo 2 was awesome, they should be focusing on making the MP of Halo 4 equal or better than 2. AND if they succeed in doing so.. we do not need Halo 2 MP. Give us some Halo 2 Map Remakes. This is different than Reach compared to Halo 1.. Reach MP sucks which is why they are going out of their way to give the community its Classic++ gametypes.Izayoi said:

You really think they aren't shipping H1 MP because they couldn't get it to work right? Jesus, dude, come on. It's pretty obvious (and they've said so multiple times) that they aren't including H1 MP because they don't want to split the player base between H1 and Reach.
343 hasn't even shipped a game yet and you're damning them. We've seen all of nothing in regards to Halo 4. You gotta beli343.
And in doing so willingly refused to make current the best multiplayer in the entire series. Huge slap in the face to all of the original fans.Sai-kun said:
Well, going by how they've handled the franchise so far I find it really, really difficult to have any sort of faith in them whatsoever.Sai-kun said:
The best multiplayer is the one that can adapt to any change the player wants. That's what 343i is doing with the TU for Reach. You want to play classic Halo 1 settings? Play the Classic mode when it comes out. Don't be hating before you're given the full picture.Izayoi said:
Great, we're back to this argument, you guys should go back a dozen pages to get Izayoi's opinion. I had my own "Halo CE's MP is superior" rants back when we all found out there was no Halo CE MP.
Luckily, a lot of the posters in this thread were original Halo CE fans, that lost interest in Halo after every release was a disappointment in regard to the brilliance of the original game. I've stuck around to play all the Halo games (except for ODST), and I still share their sentiments. I just don't come off as brash or aggressive as some of them, but they are still right in my opinion.

They can't just go tossing new Halo online multiplayer games out there at random overlapping each other, the franchise doesn't have a big enough userbase to make worth it the babysitting costs of supporting a new online game post launch, not in the way Halo devs like to take care of their online games post launch. They had to beg Microsoft for CEA, it was either just the campaign, or nothing at all. I'd rather at least play the retouched campaign while I wait for Halo 4. And at least they're going through the trouble of updating Reach to allow for truly classic gameplay (reveal of details on that this upcoming weekend) and giving us new Reach maps that are remakes of classic spaces, so we can tread familiar grounds in those classic playlists.Izayoi said:

Seriously. It's annoying. Send me a PM when it's settled again and I can enter this thread once more?

Listening to Jaime Greisemer and Frankie in the new 343 podcast they've convinced me that bringing back the old weapon balancing, particularly the pistol, might not be such a good idea.

Hasn't that been the assumption all along ever since they announced that the maps would be for Reach?
Ulchie said:
They could have easily ported the code over, used the same assets, and ran the game at full 720p. However they decided to take the harder route, doing more than any other remake I've seen, and you're still bitching? Besides you probably wouldn't know it was slightly sub-HD if it wasn't for the pixel counters, which showcases how irrelevant that number can be at times.
