Disingenuous and deliberate shit stirring is being a jerk.
Dunno why you're being an ass, but if you insist in acting like a dick who can't take a harmless joke, at least take it to PM's.
Oh wow. The smell of shit brings out the flies.

I have more faith in a successful HaloGAF book release than Halo 5
Free of charge, though.

If anybody has HUD ideas, I'm all ears.
Colors, minimal, overbearing, etc.
Oh, and pick out a crosshair design you guys like.
Shitty ideas/drawings are acceptable.

Halo 3 > Weird Russian FTP Halo PC > Halo 2
We will probably get Halo Legends 2 to explain all the jazz that happened between Halo 4 and 5. It's really the obvious move at this point.
Wow

I'm not sure how they feel about the project in retrospect, I think they weren't so happy with the numbers / reception as to do it again. It certainly seems like it was a good project to focus on in the early days of the studio, before they were working on games themselves. I think it would require a lot of their resources too.
I think they feel the novels + tv adverts (and this Serial take-off) is a better way to reach the audience they want to reach, less me and more 20 something american male.

Casting hot rays!
How about just based off what Halo solidified?
-------
It certainly feels like that's the case. Which really sucks...
How well was Legends actually received? I didn't pay too much attention to the community when that was going down. I'd imagine if they were to do it there would probably a few less studios and some more inter connectivity between the episodes. Something like Prototype or the Package? Which one had the ODST's? The art style of the Cortana episodes was very nice imo.
Another Dragon Halo Z would be GOAT but that's too good to happen

Both critically and on a community level (via my eyes)? Middlingly. And largely fairly I'd say. The execution left a bit to be desired.
Not willing / able to (SAG / VAG issues?) get Downs and Taylor was a big mistake. Styles like those in the Duel were too weird for some people. The tone was occasionally inconsistent (the clone / Spartan focused episode).
I certainly really liked it, but I could appreciate the criticism too.
I'm really .. proud (?) / happy that they did it, but I understand it's not likely to happen again.

If you spent all the kickstarter money on your wifes ring may I suggest https://www.backerkit.com/ as a second kickstart fundraising?
You may be able to get all these new scrubs that mean nothing to Halo or the community to chip in a bit.

I enjoyed it. Nothing amazing, but definitely nice to see something different than usual and I liked the anime styled episodes. I agree in that we probably won't get another one.

Anyone remember I was supposed to make an infographic from a OT19's cross community survey? Well time I owned that laziness and just posted the survey results.
There were 759 responses from a variety of communities; HaloGAF, reddit, Waypoint, B.net, HBO, Beyond and a couple more. Have at it
. I did sent it on to 343 staffers way back when though.

Halo Online's UI looks pretty good.
Forge on these maps would be pretty nice, since a lot of the background stuff seems to be solid. There probably won't be Forge, though.
Notice the "Switch Race" button, which I guess means that Elites will probably be playable.

I would have loved to see a Halo story done by Satoshi Kon. Really sad.
Modders have already found the Forge files and are trying to enable it. Might already be enabled.
Stuff like this really needs to be broken into a cleaner form that shows each item separately. Which could take some work, but these charts are practically unreadable.

The raw PDF link shows the data in percentages etc. Honestly "too hard basket'd" the presentation of it all.

Yep the charts are shit, the PDF is the way to go. Just for Tup...here's a screen grab of that page of data, for the lazy viewers. I'd really like to see a repeat of this survey now that MCC dropped and works (mostly).
Ben, why do you hate fun?
Eh, I think I can count the number of times I saw the charge used on one hand (same goes for slide). Is it actually useful? Since it's not a one hit kill it didn't seem much more beneficial than a normal Melee.
Now if it was like Destiny's shoulder chathe, on the other hand...
I feel defeated more than anything
Yeaaaahhh
Feelings about the same here. It could've been a lot better but I certainly enjoyed it and outright loved parts of it. I hope if they made another it'll be more cohesive. Have a couple off the wall ones with the rest being centered around a common development.
Impressive but... a tad illegible
Not surprised at CE being most of the people first Halo game, and also the favorite campaign. Nor am I really surprised Halo 2 and Halo 3 ranked higher in multi-player. In hindsight people can criticize all they want, but Halo 2 and Halo 3 took multi-player to another level. Whether or not Halo 3 is slow, sucks competitively, anything, you can't deny it was the most popular by sheer number of players. It's a shame how poor it's been implemented in MCC. Muddled audio, launch maps and gametypes, missing from a lot of playlists etc.

I don't understand those line graphs because I thought line graphs showed a change over time. I don't even know what I am looking at.
Yeah, I'm saying it's worthless so it just shouldn't be in the game.
Nah, I just hate redundancy.
Where da yoga pants section be?
It's basically a ranged Melee attack. Depends on whether you think 'Melee-ing' from larger distances is a positive addition or not. The trade off though is, if you miss, you're left vulnerable, plus you need to build up the sprint to do it. It's a one hit kill from behind, and strips health and shields all the way down from the front. It's a bit wonky, because sometimes, you'd spartan charge instead of assassination or something coming out of sprint.

Dan Ayoub will tweet more pictures of him partying at an event For Halo Fans and talk about how he's All About Halo Fans and really Cares and Respects Halo Fans before any of that happens.

Speaking of other things that you were supposed to release, where are the PMs?
