For the love of baby jesus............. CAN SOMEONE WITH TMCC test how many shots to kill is the H2A Magnum??

Also, it's pretty badass how the Silenced SMG has a scope even though it can be dual wielded. It would be cool if you could scope with the H2A MAGNUM THAT NO ONE HAS FOOTAGE OF, but I won't hold my breath.

There you go


11

 

[RoKKeR]

Well then maybe reviewers need to wait? Not the end of the world.

So besides playing to see a rank ... They'd have a poor experience when trying to match games ...

There's no gain for reviewers pre launch

I just think it would be disingenuous to review a game without playing one of the primary parts of the game, that's all. (MM playlists)

 

[Sordid]

Almost a full clip with the H2A pistol, oh well. Glad to see the silenced SMG return

Supposedly 11 shots. RIP Booshka, Funknown, Duji, BigShow etc.

 

[Syphon Filter]

As it should be, it was like that in Halo 2 originally.

 

[Computer]

H4 beam rifle is so fucking ugly.

 

[Raide]

H2A forge looks incredible. I hope people can make some great maps.

Its nice to have more variety in terms of which environment we make maps in. Nice to have flat surfaces too! I need to play it and see if they have improved enough.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Why do Halo devs hate single shot weapons? If Halo 5 spawns everyone with a BR, I'm going to go crazy..

 

[darthbob]

So Frankie just tweeted that Matchmaking is still turned off...

... and the review embargo is up tomorrow? Really?

lol @ the entitlement

You don't play the playlists, you play the game. The playlists purpose is to match (which you can't do with the player counts available) and organize gametype and settings... Which can be done via customs anyways.

There is really no point for them to be up and running...

^ but what about the people who have been playing halo for 13 years?

 

[CliQ]

Hey guys just wanted to give an update on the player sign ups. If you want to play, please send me a PM with your GT and skill level (1-10) and i'll add you to the backup list. Chances are not everyone that signed up will play so we'll need backups!

I wonder if Cyren and Moa, and all the others here like Sik and others can add each other and run customs of 4v4 play or 2v2 etc.

What about the people who have been playing halo for 14 years? I bet Alex Seropian didn't get a copy of TMCC early lol

 

[Booshka]

I never expected anything of value out of H2A, especially not a strong Magnum. 11 Shots is absolutely ridiculous, but it has to be that way otherwise dual pistols would be OP again like it was pre-patch for Halo 2 back in the day.

EDIT: I do want to say that I am impressed by H2A's forge though.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I want to see what the 'Survivor Shotgun' looks like.

 

[Ramirez]

It's not like some terrible journo could give you any insight into the MP experience.

Dual wielded, they're probably a 17 shot kill.

[spoiler]H2A Magnum should at least have a damn scope ;'[[/spoiler]

 

[Seibmoz]

Where the fuck is my patch?

We need to start a support group

 

[Zeouterlimits]

We could say "not the end of the world" about anything, either way we're dealing with a piece of media.

Why have the review embargo end before matchmaking is up? Why not push the review embargo to Monday?

No, it's not some conspiracy, it's just awkward. A lot of balls in the air, getting the resources fully live is difficult but.. I'd be happier if reviewers were reviewing using the same mechanics most of their players will be. Which is perhaps an obvious statement.

*shrug*
I look forward to reading some reviews.

 

[Random17]

Ah, are the reviews of Nightfall really worse than FuD? Is this really happening?

 

[Kibbles]

What time is the review embargo up?

I got some single shot Rifle porn for you to console yourself with. Stealth shilling of course.

[Hydranockz]

I barely know two people on that list hahaha.

Who wants to make the Destruction Derby map? I am curious if those triggers can be set off by driving into them to blow them up.

 

[CyReN]

What time is the review embargo up?

3am est.

I plan to finish my H2A campaign review, was hoping to get some more games in for mp but mm isn't live yet. May just delay it some.

 

[ArchedThunder]

I'm terrified that it won't start downloading for me until the game unlocks...

Let's start that support group...

Any chance you can grab us some pics of the Survivor Shotgun and Pistol, showing how they look/behave differently compared to the standard variations?

Showing it on stream in the next few minutes, they seem to be the same to be honest.

I turned my xbox off when I went to school this morning since I didnt get the update when it went live and came home and it was downloaded.

Including whether they can pick up ammo or not.

 

[Onikaan]

I'm in...

My name's Onikaan, and I'm patchless. I've been patchless for almost 24 hours now.

The shaking, the vomiting, it has begun.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Weird.

Why would the sword be unique but not the others?

I'm just scared that, that without the patch. I... I won't be able to enjoy life anymore.

 

[Granadier]

Brb, taking the lady Xbone out to a nice seafood dinner so she gives in and hands over the patch.

 

[The Real Napsta]

I don't know if anyone is a forger here, but will someone please make Aerowalk in H2A forge mode?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Something that bugs me about the Forge map with the water..

The water is shallow. You can walk on it. So, you can't used it as borders to a designed map. You have to manually enclose maps with objects or kill barriers. Ick.

 

[daedalius]

Anything special happening for Halo at PAX south?

I just found out my work is sending me!

 

[Granadier]

I don't know if anyone is a forger here, but will someone please make Aerowalk in H2A forge mode?

After Facing Worlds is done.

She's just going to buy the most expensive thing at the restaurant, eat it, kick you in the genitals and then steal your car.

Damn, you're right. Does anyone have a spare shovel?

yeah, that kinda annoys me too. i'm guessing there's no way to make the map higher and raise the water?

Speedy alt?



Also, I woke up to having my patch installed. Just leave it in standby and it'll do the rest...

Who's up for some custom on the MCC? Share you GT

I thought they said the water level could be raised and stuff?

I hope so.

I left it in standby overnight, then left it while at work/class all day, then turned instant-on off and turned the console off, turned it back on and re-enabled instant-on, then turned it off and left it.

I'm sure at some point between now and release it will grab the patch.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I thought they said the water level could be raised and stuff?

Wait, did they.. How would that work?

Perhaps a toggle that turns on/off the physical barrier ?

Yup. We need to get more 2007-11 HaloGAF back.

 

[Random17]

Watching a stream, the game crashes. Seen it in other streams, and the streamer claims this is not the first time it has happened to him.

I'm assuming he is patched since he has the multiplayer.

This isn't good...
