If that were to happen, it would be awesome.
However, if it were the focus of the story, and again the mission was to stop a Halo ring from firing; I think it would be a very cool twist if the Chief was to fail. Imagine Halo 5 ending with the Chief just managing to escape the blast of a single ring. It would be an excellent set up for the sequel as well. The firing composes a small section of the galaxy and now the Didact has a massive army.

They did not. It was something in line of Halo 4. It is not known if he died from that, but he could still be alive.
That would be a pretty bold move and I would really like it. Holy shit. I am just to jump into a next-gen Halo. Halo 2 Anniversary's level on Delta Halo are so pretty.
How do you make things despawn? I've been able to items spawn with the switches but not that.
Spoilers obv.
Ur-Didact got composed and his physical form destroyed. He still 'lives' on as a disembodied consciousness in a machine. IsoDidact is dead too.

I was screwing around on my map and decided to make a quick clip of a few of the trick jumps that you can do:

http://xboxclips.com/video.php?uid=...n Li&vid=f32255f2-7d43-47ec-8fa3-12be4254af1e
Do we actually know is IsoDidact dead?
More spoiler conversation
So IsoDidact was Bornstellar right? So wait he's dead? No coming back?
IsoDidact was Bornstellar's body, however it had the mind of the original Didact imprinted on him. Or something. Maybe.
Yea, I have it set to this and never get SP crashes.
I feel bad for jumping the gun on this. So Bornstellar/IsoDidact isn't confirmed dead, he took refuge in the Ark and prior to the activation of the rings he left the galaxy, pulling a Revan. So he could totally come back at some point, 343i clearly left it open for them to bring him back for Halo 6 or whatever.
This isn't really spoilers, unless you haven't read Cryptum which has been out for ages, but I'll tag it anyways.
Bornstellar is the IsoDidact, his body should resemble that of pre mutation Ur-Didact. The Didact consciousness in the IsoDidact body can basically control the body but it stated that he can relinquish control back to the Bornstellar consciousness. I'm not really buying the idea that there are two consciousnesses in the body, but I can rationalize that there are two distinct personalities.

I'm actually trying to figure this out, I can't even get the switches to spawn things, I have them switched to broadcast channel 1 and the bridge to spawn channel 1, but it doesn't work. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. There's an option to have the bridge despawn in scripting when the activator isn't being used, but that starts the game with the bridge de-spawned which isn't what I want.

So yeah, thanks to some coolness, I bought an Xbox One yesterday. "Jump in" and all that jazz.
Just finished the Pillar of Autumn, now playing Requiem.
Not surprising or new, but 60fps.. it really is something.

Just tried it. Switched to power save, cycled the Xbone. H2A save failures still occur.

Success confirmation!

EDIT:
MasterRace potentially derailed.
It can't just be a coincidence that me & Ram have NEVER had a crash since launch after hours of play.. the glitch cant be rare since so many complain about it happening. maybe you have to completely restart your playthrough to stop the crashes. since technically the instance that became corrupted & keeps crashing is still on your current playthrough.
I would say select a new mission from h2a so it wipes your old progress then see if it still crashes.
I did select a new mission when I started testing it out.Success confirmation!

Also, it's not "crashing" per se; it's simply loading the start of a level when your save should be in the middle of the level.

...yeah that map looks fun.
Wonder when 343 will start integrating forge maps in or whether they will even do it. There are already so many darn maps in the game. Although Halo 2A playlist could use a few more maps with the Halo 2 forge.

I played two matches of Hang 'Em High last night, was pretty fun. Almost got prisoner, but people voted for Zanzibar, when there was only 5 people in the lobby, some people...

We need to get games together.
Wonder what Irish co-op is like? Irish-American co-op is a worse joke than ever though. Sub 15fps and nobody laughing.
Last time they put them in it was via votes for the best maps and they added them. Personally I think Bungie sold the Forge really short when they made most maps look identical. Almost like they did not actually want the community to make great maps and keep that game running. Hope they change that focus for H5.
I haven't figured it out either. Then again, my switches fill up the progress bar about halfway and pulls up my weapon, so no scripting works on my end.
Thanks guys :3
I've put it in my fileshare if you want to play around with it (GT is il Meanbean li btw). Spawns and weapon placements probably suck btw, haven't had a chance to test them out and balance them.
Cyren just tweeted this. I laughed.
That rocket is going to be a pain in the ass. There's a lot of walkways too. I'll reserve full judgment until I play it though. Also, you can't access files from someone's file share unless they are online AND mutual friends on XBL.

Will download it shortly.
I am rubbish with spawns and weapons. Its the last thing I do and I really should plan ahead more.

So all of the skulls from Halo 1 anniversary you can't activate? There's a few things here and there missing from this package.

some of them were pre order dlc, everyone gets all the pre order skulls for free some day in December
Yeah, it could well be. Like I said I suck at weapon placement, I just chucked a bunch of stuff down in interesting spots for this map. There are 2 snipers, 2 shotguns and a rocket so there's probably a few too many power weapons
It's not that filled with walkways, the direct path from base to base is quite wide open and the central areas have a quite a bit of space to move around in. There's much more room than something like Lockout or Guardian.
Here's an overview picture:
This picture was from yesterday and is missing a few bits. Most noticeably the pillars I used to jump around on in my clip.
And yeah, the whole file share system is a pain in the ass. I'm online a lot though so hopefully it shouldn't be too difficult to grab
Yup, like I said, spawns and weapons are kinda just chucked down all over the place. Will need to playtest to see how much they need changing.
Yup, will also give the UNSC and the Covenant a real chance to work together. Which could lead to some very interesting story dynamics.
I don't think nerfing sprint to the point of almost uselessness is the way to go. It shouldn't actively harm you to use a certain mechanic when the trade off isn't worth it. That's unbalanced and just makes the mechanic useless. There wasn't much sprinting in the game to begin with from all the games I've seen. Mostly just at the beginning with the rush for weapons.
As for the death, are you referring to the Breakout gametype or just regular slayer?
YES PLEASE
A return of Invasion with a twist is a must. Or just straight up Invasion. Either way.
I'm definitely liking that idea. Raise the stakes majorly.
Oh okay gotcha. Well in that case
I'm really looking forward to seeing how they handle this. Hell I wonder if there are even more Forerunners outside the Galaxy with him. There's a lot of potential here.
Didact stuff again
I really kinda hope that Bornstellar's consciousness returns. I liked Bornstellar. I hate body snatchers. Though in this case I suppose the body snatcher can be benevolent. Still though. I liked Bornstellar.

Gotcha, I thought it was only Halo 2 skulls that were pre-order bonuses, but that makes sense.

Halo on PC confirmed
I wouldn't be surprised if Guilty Spark's journey to find the Librarian leads him to Bornstellar. These sorts of unfinished plot points are going to lead into Halo 6 to some extent I'm guessing. Halo 5 sounds like it's gonna be a Locke/Arbiter bro down.

I told everyone Halo 3 on MCC is a pc port but no one listens.

That's why i specifically said 50% not 100% slow down for Sprint. If it were above 50% slow down then it would probably make sprint useless.
If you say you disagree with my suggestion then what's a better idea to fix this issue regarding the already unbalanced game. It's too fast and ppl dying to quickly.
I'm currently watching Nightfall through Halo Channel, and the experience is pretty freaking cool.
It's really great to be able to read more stuff on what's happening in the scene through the encyclopedia. Currently reading the background of the
which is central to the first episode.

Good point, but hopefully it's as obvious as that instead of the SMG killing in fewer bullets. The thing that gets me though is the "and in some cases not at all."

Maybe some weapons zoomed in act differently? Light rifle did this, so maybe more weapons will act similar.
well we know Chant To Green and a handful of other Forerunner were still alive with Bornstellar during the reseeding of Earth. Maybe they made babbies when they left the Galaxy
People have said automatics have better aim/spread when scoped in. It's pretty much ADS at this point for those types of guns, visual ADS for guns like the DMR/BR. The sad thing is, it provides zero added benefit to any Halo fan to have that massive scope on the DMR than what was before. It's simple fan service to a vocal minority I am certain won't play beyond the first month. Going to give them the benefit of the doubt though.
Guys like Greenskull I tend to disagree with because he said the same stuff verbatim about the things in halo 4 and how we're all dinosaur tryhards who can't tolerate change. He was wrong then, two years later, same situation and again being asked to wait and see.
Edit: Mastrbiggy, can you answer please, taking into account your limited time with the game. Has this smart scope change been a net positive to the series, or do you feel the original click/zoom worked/sufficed? Not asking whether you can live with it, but if you actually feel the scope/firing is better than what came before.

Well I mean the game is running on PC hardware pretty much. Still say it will happen, but not until after Halo 5

Ogre 2 said it was due to them using the pc version and that had a lot of problems compared to console version.
