Halo |OT 20| It really does feel like Halo

Frankie, while you're here, can you elaborate on the Halo 4 villain not being the Didact at one point in time? It seems like a cool bit of BTS trivia/info.

That'll be in the making of Halo 2 documentary coming out soon. They will also invite Max H. to elaborate on how he wanted Halo 2 to have loadouts, kill cam, and sprint.

I will make you a deal. Next time I am at a Con and someone asks if H5 has multiplayer, I will answer that question instead.

What game were you donging on in CTF earlier? Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3 etc.

343's bullshit.

Looks like your transformation is almost complete.

I can see how it could be adrift. Since it's a smaller map, easy to catch a team off guard and get a lot of quick captures. You said Xbox record feature wasn't enabled for the build, but wouldn't Halo 4's internal theater capability have saved the film? Also will Halo 4 have full legendary BR variants and stuff at launch in MCC?

Saw these in imgur right now, pretty crazy how large the Infinity is. I didn't even know thats how large the Mantle's Approach would be either.

Nope, totally weird little build to test a specific feature. Disabled twice (in the code and in my preferences for safety).
 
I knew it :(

Fuck I just re-read it. Didn't see the "in each match" part.

It's okay. You made my day bro. My boss just threatened my job security, so this was a good mood lifter.

EDIT: And for those boobs that will probably say "it's cuz you post on these forums", that's not the case lol

Just go pro in Halo. Guaranteed cash $$$ if there a lot of LAN's when MCC comes out.

Don't do this, as you will most likely lose everything.
Vegas seems good tho

Good to hear! BTW I found out you can convert your GameStop money into gas cards and amazon credit. Just letting you know in case you find your self needin some money.

Unless Nightfall ends up being boring or terrible.

Yeah, then Halo 5's fate would be "Locked" in... Huzzah!

What setting? A broken part of installation 04? From what I've seen the setting isn't particularly impressive or anything like that.

Purely from a conceptual point of view it's awesome, I'm thinking of the skybox it could have.


Doesn't matter about from what we've seen Nightfall, they are allowed some creative freedom when designing maps.


Page 117!

November 11 is so close I can almost smell my lack of bathing

Visually, it's cgi-ised dark brown, but the concept of is pretty awesome. A piece of the Halo ring locked in a hellish orbit so that when it rotates to face the star it's in orbit around it's seared with heat, light and radiation.

I think the setting visually makes Stargate SG1's look classy but from a conceptual perspective, its very unusual, unique even. And that horizon with the ring lifting into the sky only to end suddenly gives a lovely twist to the familiar Halo vista we all know.

Kittens said it better than I could have.
Having people unable to spawn with it would solve most of the issues I have with it. It had too much of a negative impact on BTB.

Even still, you'd then have teams of players picking up DMR while you're stuck spawning with lower aim AR or BR. Others have said similar things, but lowering aim assist, bullet magnetism, increasing strafe speed would alleviate some problems, but the biggest change would just be reducing it to BR 2X scope while keeping it single shot and identical kill times. I'd prefer a single shot weapon over burst fire easily.

Simple fact is, with DMR you could just shoot too far, too accurately.

1. Halo Never Died, It Was Just Missing In Action
83 votes (46%)
2. 106 maps. 4 games. 1 Chief.
51 votes (28%)
3. It' Been An Honor Serving With You, John.
20 votes (11%)
4. Stinkles Knows What the Gaffers Like
17 votes (9%)
5. Unseal the Hushed Casket
5 votes (3%)
6. I Thought I Told You To Wear Something Nice

Looks like Halo Never Died won with 46% of the 180 votes.
Final title will be:
Halo: The Master Chief Collection |OT| Halo Never Died, It Was Just Missing In Action

Not sure if you saw earlier:

The flamethrower usually has a "shark" on it, thought this might look neat for your avatar. Just throwin it out there. If you don't want to use it, you won't hurt my feelings.

I recognise it can cause issues in things like BTB.


They should keep it purely for swat though. It's so damn satisfying to pull off a triple kill with 3 shots in quick succession.



Anyway, we know it's staying because it was in the Halo 5 beta video.

Oddly enough, that title is the maximum amount of characters that GAF will allow in a title, but does anyone know if it'll get cut off?
