That's exactly why I posted it. Not really backhanded at all. It directly acknowledges that the community hasn't been the same the last two releases. Reach and Halo 4 were not received warmly by the community. The last 4 years, Halo fans have spent more time complaining about the games than playing them. Non-Halo fans talk about how the series isn't relevant etc. It acknowledges all that. It's not snarky or insulting.

Halo was "missing in action" but it didn't die like many believe. Long time fans are excited about the series again, many who swore off Xbox or the series are buying consoles just to play. It's up to everyone else to choose what works best, mine was just a suggestion.

I like your explanation and I think it's logical and pretty fair. Like I said, I understand why people are favoring it because it combines the "Spartans never die, they are just missing in action" and how a lot of us feel as a community. It's actually a good summation. The thing is, a lot of people still like Halo 4 and it is a part of the collection. I for one, enjoyed the campaign and will enjoy it again a few times with the wife, friends and family.

I guess I'm tired of hearing how let down we all are (including myself) over the past few years with Reach and Halo 4. Sorry if my post felt like an accusation, was not intending it to be.

343, that music man. It gave me nerd chills harder than anything else ever has. Bring those beautiful monk bastards back to the games PLEASE

The Nightfall trailer. It reveals a lot about the story, such as the colonial

being an ex-spartan

That part blew my mind.

A former Spartan?

I cannot wait for this any longer!

A stream on youtube? Really now?... Ugh

 

[VinFTW]

A stream on youtube? Really now?... Ugh

It will also be on IGN's site, most likely on the front page (and then you can click to go to its own page on IGN) where it will play at 720p@60fps.

 

[Competa]

I thought the weird morphing flood were made of Lekgolo.

I thought that too.

Are you new to YouTube? lol

Use the Stealthy add-on for Firefox, if you can't watch it on Twitch.

Yeah I noticed that...

infected?

Probably that one element that specifically targets humans.

Spoiler

not flood

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Yeah I noticed that...

That's the chemical or compound that "only kills humans." I believe so anyways, it makes sense within the context and timing of the trailer.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

It's only because I've been putting all my hours into this new video for you fine ladies:

it's a new form of Space Herpes!

 

[darthbob]

how long is the stream?

Supposed to be 2 hours.

 

[kittens]

Nightfall Plot Prediction:

- Covenant faction wants to alter the flood to only target humans.
- They experiment on lesser species in the Covenant, including lekgolo.
- Shit goes bad.
- Humans come in.
- Shit goes worse.
- Final boss battle against a Flood infected MEGA-ELITE.
- Locke barely survives in some cool, stylish way.
- Credits

 

[TheOhrenberger.]

Gonna try to watch this stream and work on a big project at the same time. This probably won't go well...

 

[EdibleExplosives]

We live.

 

[jem0208]

Hold B to pick up weapons?


What kind of sick torture is that?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

hold B to pick-up weapons...

who picked "TheOddOne" as a control scheme

EDIT: HALO IS DAD

 

[kittens]

Bumper Jumper, the best control scheme in the series.

 

[Welfare]

The stream! Nooooooo

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

dat CE. dat Pistol. dat network issue.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Came back at half the framerate, rip

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Good news from Halo CE footage on stream:

"We are currently still tweaking and optimizing the Halo CE netcode"

 

[Kibbles]

Yes drag them for the amount of medals. (don't just say turn off, I want medals, I just don't want a ton to pop up for ever single kill)

Framerate is 30fps why bother? What a mess.

 

[IHaveIce]

Set your output to source on twitch

Covies altering the flood to only target humans would actually be great, even though I'm not expecting that at all. Also, they'd better not make it work because I love me some three-way battles.

 

[YourExWife]

"There's too many medals. Not sure what they all were"

And that, 343, is why they're pointless in the Halo 4 style and shouldn't be in the MCC to begin with.

"You can turn them off in settings"

I shouldn't have to. It's dumb.

 

[jem0208]

Sick and wrong.


Sick. And. Wrong.

I don't know man.. I see this as it still being sketchy and not much they can do about it. Saw some jumps on the stream already ;\

 

[VinFTW]

The music...


/cry

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Loving the beautiful menu.

 

[jem0208]

God damn that UI is smooth.

 

[GreyWind]

oh noez! It crashed.

 

[RoKKeR]

That crash though.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

half the framerate, and now crashes

gg bungie

Yeah, that part was all too telling. I think it's cool that 343 made them optional, but they still need to revise their approach in the first place.

 

[Silky]

I've always used Default/Recon for every Halo game and I will not be changing

 

[Welfare]

Dat UI. So shiny.

 

[IHaveIce]

Lol dat colour callout for Lockout

Same, hence the claw grip.
