Hopefully the text is an option. I think it is good for some. But if you can turn it off then it is best of both worlds. While you can't control the people who know what they should be doing but still ignore the gametype there are others who actually don't know. You cannot assume that everybody is familiar with all game types. Rather than alienating those people it is better to give them enough context to become interested and then encourage them to drop the training wheels. Options are the critical piece though and while not a dealbreaker for me I hope to see more of them.

First impression of that map is that I really like the bases now. In the past it has always bugged me that they just don't seem to make any sense. Super important general dude - "Hey we need to drop a forward base of operations in a strategic location where we can monitor enemy activity". Random army engineering guy - "Well, I made up this donut thing. It has an opening in the top and a bunch of entrances, so our guys can both be easily ambushed and get rained on. It might be I was just really hungry when I designed it. Low blood suger... and I like donuts." Super important general dude - "Fabulous, get it in the field. I also like donuts".

They look a bit beefier now, I like it (mmm... beef donut).

Also, just noticed, the suppressed smg. Is that the ODST smg? (watched the rest of the video and they talk a little bit more about it. I wonder if it will be more useful. I like how it sounds.)

holy shit the Capture/Defend text

H2A looks less appealing with every new video

Game is Gold, people are downloading it already and I gotta say for sure that now I am double dipping for this. I will be getting it day one digitally and getting a physical copy as well. it's crazy.

Watching gameplay right now, so far it looks so good.

 

[iMax]

The game just went gold. It is most likely final.

These videos weren't recorded yesterday. Max even mentions they're still tweaking things in the video.

 

[Diablohead]

What does going gold even mean? So many pre-order sales?

Basically version 1.0 confirmed ready for sale and passed all cert checks, the game is complete.

Yeah, I had to stop watching the gameplay. A mix between the UI, sound design, graphics, and generally just the weird decisions reminds me too much of Halo 4. I might avoid it altogether.

I honestly couldn't imagine it being that bad when meltdownGAF took over for awhile. Hopefully this is just placeholder text on a really old build. Cause that text is ridiculous.

Look at this 1%er!

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Everything looks fantastic. If they bump the capture/defend text down a few sizes that would be better.

Yes, Fontsize 0 should do nicely.

YOU PIECE OF SHIT

I'M SORRY I DIDN'T REALIZE I COULD HAVE SUCH POWER. I still say if you're only gonna get one get a physical copy.

I'll probably double dip as well, but not until i get paid again lol.

You guys realize you can only play one copy of the game at any given time, right?

I bought 2 xbox ones, and i hooked up 2 mini displays to my retinas so i can play 1v1 Lockout BR's against myself at any given time.


The DEFINITIVE way to play Halo.

Yea and Jeff Steitzer yelling at me all the time is off-putting too.

I'll probably just stick we CE and H2

Yeah I think I will hang out here more often then in those halo threads.

My hype is building for this collection. Playing halo 2 mp again will be amazing.

The cult of rubbing one out for Speedy.

TIME TO BAIL.

I would leave that for the doctor to do bro. That's gross.

 

[uwdanman]

So I haven't played with the hornet very much, but in the gameplay video at 1:00, is it really that difficult to flip it to pilot it? It seemed that the flip physics kept flipping it in circles.

Happens in every halo game. If you watch the rest of the video he does it successfully every time. No worries.

Probably not more than 3. At a time.

I get that Bloodline plays good, that it was designed to fix a lot of issues that people have with the maps, and I don't even mind that they added their own touches to it, but seriously, is there no one at 343 or CA who looks at that map and goes, "does it come in any other color besides brown"? Where are the blue skies, green grass and trees, pops of color.

It's like they agree on one primary color for the maps, and then change everything to a shade of it.

Steitzer sounds worse than he does in Halo 4. And the capture/defend is an absolute eye soar. I really wish they stopped going out of their way to try to get dumb players to play the game correctly.

I agree. He had a deeper smoother voice in the past. Now its tinny and harsh.

That 2nd video is brutal, turned it off after 3 minutes.

The text and constant stream of shit he's saying, just meh. It reminds me so much of 4, please don't do the same thing in 5.

BG is so boring, really wish they would have went with a different map.

That's not how you spell "soar" and seriously this elitism is a DRAG, and I am about done with it.

 

[dwells]

I'm sure there's someone out there that could figure out how to make it not useless.

It would be a "I'll give you data, for dollars on Tuesday" situation.

Not really. When you download an arcade game trial, you download the full game, you just don't have access to all the data. Same situation here.

If someone found a way to make the game boot, there would be much bigger issues at hand.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I'd agree with dropping the capture/defend font a few sizes, but everything else is looking great IMO.
