Again the patch is literally 1/3 of the total game. I understand that the ui is stopping them from putting it on a second disc but when there is MP content not on a disc but as a mandatory download, still rubs me the wrong way.
Agreed, the 20GB patch thing still feels dirty to me.

Damn. Price is dropping like flies. 1TB bundle and free CoD for $349 and it's not even a year from launch.

My neighbor's step-mom's grandmother's final wishes were for a Halo 3 demake of Cragmire, and Fyrewulff pledged on his Halo Honor that he would do it. I was there, it's true. You're a good man, FW.

A lot of people including myself just don't think it played as well as the original in the Halo 2 sandbox. I still liked it though. Spawns felt off to me.
my sides, they hurt
Still gives me nightmares.

If I preload MCC now when the 20gb update comes out later will Xbox prompt me to preload that too?
Maybe. Hopefully.

Too bad he doesn't have a gif of the Z-fighting that map had outside ring-2.
Only if you enabled automatic game updates appareantly.
Still don't know if the patch is actually out...
Shortly after that he says, "There's a lot of blind corners that people who were smart with their radar would camp with a shotgun"

These were the Reach launch maps. Painful. 4 Halo games from Bungie before Reach and millions of hours played in multiplayer, and this is what we got for launch. There needs to be a serious emphasis on multiplayer maps for Halo 5 both for launch and DLC, including its pricing.

Yup that was me. But it tooooootally doesn't unbalance the map for one team at all...

damn I thought MP was allowed to be broadcast today, I was looking forward to watching
Pretty sure I got a grenade kill through that a few times, been too long to remember well.

Oh god.
That's one of the few truly terrible, go-AFK-and-make-a-sandwich maps in Halo history. I can tolerate many bad maps, but not that one.

4 new maps today (SP) and MP tomorrow, i thought.
patch is probably dropping late night (12 AM UTC if i were to guess)

Above post answers my question.
I want this.
Oh god, I scrubbed this map from my memory, why did you have to bring it up?
The map is only decent for 1 sided objective. Terrible for slayer though.
Yep. Because that's actually why it's there.

SonofMacPhisto: Can you think of any reason why the geometry (ed: for Club Errera) is essentially Crater, from ODST? I was thinking about that yesterday, as I played through it, and I couldn't remember if Wu has an affinity for Crater or some other completely different reason why it would be so designed.
And also, wouldn't you agree Club Errera would make an absolutely CRAZY Firefight map?
dmiller:
New Alexandria had about 1/2 of the development time that all of the other levels had and it was MASSIVE. I basically had to choose which of the three buildings would be unique geometry and then figure out what the other two buildings would be. We had Crater from ODST- ported over and it did everything I needed it to do to for the mission- plus I love Crater (I helped design it for ODST). Ivory Tower was basically a situation where if no other mission designer would use it for their levels it would not ship- so I made it work

Decided to pre-order.. guess it'll be joining my collection of Palmer, Noble 6 & Jorge. However, I think the hand guards are the weakest part (I prefer the H3 version of the glove) - H2 version is just too... I dunno, sharp & rectangular. It just didn't look like it had enough polygons in the game either. The H3 gloves had more depth to it along the sides, plus I like the triangular design more. But anyways, the paint job seems pretty kick ass here.

I want to drop money on it, but with Jurassic World coming out next year I need to save my nerding out cash for all the inevitable cool Dinosaur stuff.

"Sometime tomorrow", was what I heard. It got slightly delayed.
