Halo |OT 20| It really does feel like Halo

Let zoojoo make it. Show the whole site we don't follow the rules at all.


On the subject of soundtrack, I though the mixing was ass, but halo 4s soundtrack as a whole was pretty great.

Any idea when The Halo Channel will drop on the Xbone? Also will Nightfall come out the same day as TMCC or will they release it a few days early? I liked how FUD was rolled out. I really want to watch Nightfall but I know once TMCC comes out I'm not going to want to put the controller down.

Buy both? ;)

I wish I could justify it. I'm playing games less now than a few years ago, so it was hard to sink the cost of a new platform as it was. As is, I can only play ~10% of the great games on a system as it is; the time and money just don't exist. Adding a new platform means another box, subscription, controllers etc. And then only playing ~5% of the great games on either system. I had to choose, and I did.

But the grass is still real green over on the Xbox side of the lawn. Halo 3 in HD is glorious.

I'm genuinely impressed by how much you all are juggling right now.

MCC
Halo 5 (and Halo 5 beta)
Halo Channel
Halo Waypoint redesign
Nightfall
Comics
Novels
Toys
Whatever the hell that other TV series ends up being
Working to build up excitement in the competitive scene again
Partnerships up the wazoo (Twitch, Astro, etc.)

And it all looks fantastic so far! Well, except for the comics art. :p
 
I feel ya ghal. Without the MCC I'd happily stay on 360 for abother year or two.

Still don't think I can afford an x1 in time for MCC.

Games are low priority when it comes to money

It's probably best you didn't get an Xbox One w/ the MCC.

Then you'd play nothing else and experience only 1% of the great games :p

Is it safe to assume the Marathon logo is gone from Halo 2 and 3 as selectable armor emblems? I really don't understand why Bungie couldn't have just let 343i continue to use it seeing as it was already integrated into the game lore as the reclaimer glyph...

In the event it is gone, I wonder if the new reclaimer glyph going to take its place? I want my classic H2 emblem back (cobalt Marathon on a white background), but I'll take what I can get I suppose.

Saw a few pages back someone asked why there was going to be 3 OTs. There will only be two.

Back when Halo Reach launched it was the only OT, then, as time went on it evolved to just the Halo OT. Each Halo game launched since has had a seperate OT along side the community thread so yes, there will be two OTs. This one is more Community focused where as the MCC OT will be focused on the game itself.

The music is fantastic. I'm definitely going to pick up the soundtrack when it releases. I'm also super pumped about the Waypont upgrade and the Halo channel.

Oh shit, really? That's gonna be fun to check out. Praying to Stinkles that it looks as good as the Halo Channel.
I'd imagine it's a stream lined desktop version with buffed up features of the Halo Channel.
 
I know the soundtrack preorder is up on Amazon, but will the vinyl edition be released at the same time, or is that further down the line? I want it next to my Halo CE vinyl and Halo 4 Collectors Vinyl.

Ew. Why has the title been changed? New one is so dull. Wow.

...

This makes sense.

Woow. 343 really nailed the remastering of the old tunes. Can't wait to hear the remastered version of "In Amber Clad". I prefered the original version to the Halo CE remastered music. After hearing the Gungnir Mix. I have to say that it might be better than the original.

I just can't stop listening to it....:

Hooooooo hoo hooo hooo hooo hoooo hooooooooo...... Hooo hooo hoooooooooo hooo hooho hooooo... hooohooo hooooo. Hooo hohohohoho hoooooooooo. Badum ba ba ba badum ba ba badum ba ba. BADUM DU DUM!!! BADUM DU DUMM!!!! BADUM DU DUM!!!

No, I think in this instance, Frank is right. We can individually have issues with 4, but it's not at all welcoming to David or Frank to set the tone / culture of the thread in the title antagonistically, it's not welcoming, and most of us would rather they stick around than not.

That being said, yes, this one is a dullard. At least call Wu a cranky old man or something :p

I love 3A so much, but it's always on the pricey side...
-longingly looks at Metal Gear REX-

I'm pretty excited to see the impending Agent Locke figures. His armor is pretty fantastic.

I would never buy something like that, but those Spartan figures look frickin amazing.

WOAH at this figurines! I got a couple of Halo figurines here (even a rather expensive WETA one), but the two shown above simply look absolutely gorgeous.

However, personally I prefer "static" figurines. I think they feel more premium.

Gravemind speaking better still be in the OST, it can still be tied into current lore and was such a cool easter egg on the OST.
