The look of the armor itself is fine but i agree that the glossy look looked weird. Halo 2 model for life. The exact style and color till this day is amazing.
A 30fps-encoded video doesn't demonstrate much of anything.
That said, I'd be astounded if it's not possible to use forge to wreck the framerate.

Has IGN encoded any other Halo IGN First videos at 30 fps?

Oh no doubt. I think when talking with Naughty Dog PR they said they got 1000+ review requests, for Last of Us so it's easy to see why a bunch don't get a copy though. I'd hate to be the PR team in charge of making that decision.

I haven't watched them all so I wouldn't know, though I do wonder if Forge is 30 fps.
Wouldn't they have the ability to have some internal checks in place to make sure any/all maps in forge stick to 60FPS or no? I just can't see them allowing intricate forge maps, but sub 30 frames or something, especially since every other game/map will be 60FPS. Maybe they're working some magic where they have pretty much guaranteed you can't wreck frame rate?
If you jammed all of the pieces in your budget together into one blob it would for sure slam the frame rate.

There's a performance meter at the top of the screen in forge.

People with review games have all the content? Like the 3 forge maps...?

Yep. Worse than an actual fps counter but still better than nothing.
Maybe if there were marks to indicate what framerate the map will be at, or yeah, just a counter, but hey, it's something.

That's cool.
CA and 343 hitting all the right notes lately.

Highlighting terminals caused a performance drop.

Talking about Forge is as much a surprise as giving tours of the remastered maps. It's something that 343i had already spoken about and discussion of a known feature of the MCC doesn't qualify as a surprise to me.
Yeah, I wonder if they have more advanced metrics built into the engine for their own QA purposes. I mean, what exactly are they calculating to get that bar anyway?
Nice legit scrim, got bored of watching the ROFLstomp that was Agency's last "scrim"
Gonna watch the Goat's stream.

I'm mad late , been out of the loop. Thanks. Looks a lot nicer, thankfully.
all it will take is a few particles filling your screen to kill all framerate from overdraw. its not something you can completely guarantee.

ms per frame?

I'm in the mood to make a fairly detailed map remake for H2A, but there is too much to choose from. Anybody have suggestions?
Oh my god, Ninja running Beaver Creek with the shotty. The falling from shotgun blast to beatdown from rockets to pocket was just hilarious.
Just remembered something while watching the stream. Bungie used frame-based timing logic in Halo 2, i.e. things like rate of fire were linked to framerate. As a result, in Halo 2 Vista, the carbine is massively overpowered (beats out the BR handily) if the game is running at 60FPS. It's enough that it throws off the sandbox and how the game plays. I just checked the IGN First video of Halo 2 classic, and it looks like they haven't patched this. That's a big problem. Anyone want to tweet to 343i about it? I'm not sure they're even aware of it since they didn't develop H2V.
Twitch chats are mostly hilariously fecal, but you get some gems from them here and there.
My god, it's full of stars.
I'm okay with the carbine being useful.
Basically, does this mean that due to the higher framerate you can literally output more shots from the carbine?
Yes. The rate of fire is significantly higher (theoretically double, but I don't recall it feeling that fast) and you can dump a mag into someone's face before they can start their fourth BR shot.

Finally, the Carbine will have its moment in the sun. No longer the red headed stepchild of the bunch.
The return of plasma pistol loadouts and perks. Rejoice!

CE lends its self for Forge most, flat
not necessarily simple
All of which are (now likely) possible, would be a great set to cut your teeth on.

Man, that just reminded me that Walshy hasn't broadcast in awhile. Titanfall not taking off kind of shut him out of streaming, I guess.
I think someone mentioned earlier in the thread that tomorrow is when we see the ranking system, so we might get a long video on that.
XB1 with Kinect, listed as used (factory sealed/may not be in original packaging) but should be brand new for $362
edit: oh fk there were $220 PS4s there too. Daaaamn

Hype.
Maybe a new trailer that is an overview of all the content, showing some new areas/features?
