Anybody here read Broken Circle yet?

I'll probably start it tomorrow or later tonight after I finish the new Star Wars book.

It is on my bed stand, but I have to finish reading Dune before diving in. I am really interested in Broken Circle. I have the last Travis' book in my shelf, but never read it or any interest.

What's the deal with Greg Bear? Is he coming back to write more Halo books? If I remember correctly, there had been a mutual interest between the two parties.

Be interesting to see reactions to how some of this plays tomorrow.

Just curious, on a scale of "elation to bloodbath," what are you expecting to see?

I hope you people at 343i realize that most people are just worried. It was a frustrating day for Halo fans and I hope things change for the better.

Screw people who attack you or someone else from 343i, though.

That Halo 5 reveal is also at a pretty bad time for EU people by the way. It will be like 4am Tuesday I believe...

How invasion came out when you were typing headhunter will be a lasting mystery to me

I know I wasn't the only one to have that complaint but I'll take that as a direct response and be moderately excited.

Sprint isn't a get out of jail free card anymore because you'll get rid of it after the beta

Cray cray happenings on GAF today. I reserve comment till tomorrow.

I stopped watching the ESL final, why did it get reset? I was looking about for a dodgy home made time machine.

Have you been stashing my posts over the past couple years? Do you secretly agree with everything I've been saying about sprint and ADS not having to break gameplay, not having to be implemented how we've seen in other games? Tell Josh to unblock me though..

I'll expect royalty checks in the mail, thanks.

Don't worry, everything's under control at the moment and I'm just enjoying a nice calming cup of tea. (No sugar, dab o' milk).

HaloFest starts at 5am. Team Beyond stated they are allowed to share their impressions at 9am GMT+1. So I'm guessing the Halo 5 reveal will be in a European friendly time.

Halo 5 footage leak. Shows sprint and ADS. Meltdown ensues, 343i saves day by clarifying that non-ADS has no penalties (i.e. it's cosmetic).

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=929458

Halo 5 has sprint, and has cosmetic ADS.

Also, some clips.

Spoiler

That GIF is amazing

ADS. But not ADS. Please be excited. Or terrified. Fat swords confirmed.

Some cray shit

It's cray cray up in here

I'll be fine with that, too. All about dem options.

Stinkles:

I really, really hope you guys don't just throw out a gameplay montage/trailer or shout-cast a match with no context. It would be a massive disaster, especially on Twitch.

I would hope you guys would at least explain some of the changes or decisions you've made similar to what Blizzard does in their panels at Blizzcon for WoW changes. Ex. Fundamentally changing the way healing works in WoW? Here's why we did and here's how it works.

A good video explaining changes made and decisions leading to them, would be insanely helpful and would hold back a lot of impulsive, negative reactions.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Haha this is good.

 

[FyreWulff]

lmfao, how long did it take you to make that?

-2 years

 

[Gabotron ES]

We're getting the footage tomorrow. I expect meltdowns similar to H4's GI reveal.

Oh boy was I wrong, this was five times the GI reveal lol

A bit afraid to see what H5 plays like tomorrow. Hopefully all this was just a misunderstood.

Shield doesn't recharge when sprinting?

Wouldn't be against that, would personally prefer no sprint though, but I guess it's possible for a happ medium to be struck...

Good. I don't hate sprint, it just needs to be better balanced.

"Change for the sake of change" has pretty much been the only pattern I've seemed to recognize ever since Halo: Reach.

 

[Abinash117]

Automatics have had zoom scopes before. Odst smg, h2a smg. Assault rifle has not been confirmed to be scoped. Shinobi just heard that many have, not all.

Asked around, things can change but, assault rifle got dat ADS too, "pretty much" all the weapons. They're going for that e-sports scene very hard.

Welp.

And there was another reply were he said he wasn't sure if it is all weapons and if the are cosmetic or not.
So I think a few automatics will have sights . The only time were a scoped automatic will be up against a precision weapon is H2A , but it is only the smg. Although we don't know what weapons will get sights or get the ability to zoom in, but I think all the none power weapons will have the ability or can get the ability to 'ADS' or zoom in now. That will change the sandbox pretty much.

Especially why sprint isn't a get out of jail free card anymore.

i'll believe it when it doesnt happen in matchmaking or on a stream or in the Beta.

Frank, there have been objective posts about why sprint shouldnt be in Halo.

God watching this tournament brings back the feels. MCC will be glorious.

Xbox One/Halo 5 Business Plan:

1. Announce a bunch of shit no one wants
2. Fans freak out
3. Remove shit no one wants
4. Fans are happy with a mediocre product just cuz it isn't filled with bullshit
5. ??????
6. Profit

Heard people saying that if you buy The MCC in the New Zealand store but in the US it unlocks at 12:00 AM New Zealand time being 3:00 AM PST. Can anyone confirm this? I know buying it in the US store then switching to New Zealand afterwards does not work.

Welp. Time to play catch up on all these pages. Now where's my popcorn...

This was something that Halo 4 really needed and I think Halo 5 would certainly benefit.
