Where is this thread? Can someone PM me the link?

 

[Mix]

really not a big fan of leaks like this, but I know I'm a rare one for it.

 

[Twin Tails]

railgun, we back

 

[IHaveIce]

they should have went with gamertags on screen if they wanted to prevent this.

Closed betas should have been more secured visually

 

[Ampoc]

Those models look like placeholders.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

LMAO at Game Informer using Evolved Combat in the article title. Funknown are you okay?

Got a nice little chuckle out of that lol

Well, they were fairly straight-backed in CE, saved for things like their sprinting animation. But then they got further hunched to fit to a Spartan-IIish hotbox in Halo 2, and things went downhill from there.

Spartan II hotbox you say? Must be good times.

 

[User 73706]

Railgun's got some wonky-ass texture work going on. I'm assuming it's low-res or incomplete.

"spartan bro moments cut down. game ending segment is just your spartans walking towards the screen, no more highfives and shit"

RIP in peace Spartan Bros

Not a fan of weapon highlights. Reminds me of free to play knockoffs.

Bro Spartans are paid DLC cosmetics. Everybody wins!

I liked the Bro high fives.

 

[AlStrong]

Incineration Cannon is back and has changed compared to Halo 4. players can charge up a shot and the longer you charge, the more powerful it is. Battery based rather than ammo based.

I hope it goes nuclear on you after 7 seconds.

Spoiler

It's the only way to be sure.

 

[Overdoziz]

Did they add more random clutter on the ground on that midship remix?

 

[kittens]

good god

it looks so fucking good

 

[jem0208]

I liked the Bro high fives.

Same... I hope the new look isn't really pretentious. That would be far more douchey than some high fives.

 

[IHaveIce]

mhmm like the new functions of the promethean weapons more

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I honestly prefer the simplicity and instant readability of "RED PLAYER NAME" "WEAPON KILLED WITH" "BLUE PLAYER NAME" for the killfeed. I'm all for that change to the series.

RIP killed by the Guardians tho

 

[Orochinagis]

So the incinerator cannon is a fusion rifle/spartan rifle esque weapon?

it'll actually be "GUARDIANS *pic of composer shooting traffic cone* PLAYER"

 

[kittens]

killfeed modified to be like this: "PLAYER NAME" "WEAPON KILLED WITH" "PLAYER NAME"

sweeeeeeeet

Where are these leaks coming from? Not the GI stuff, right? A closed beta?

Some guy on Beyond. Seems to have been in a closed beta.

 

[belushy]

I like the blue highlight.

Sure am glad my Spartan had a stick shoved up his ass. What kind of idiot celebrates when they win?

Spoiler

That aside the list sounds awesome.
Maybe win screen pose customization will be a thing?

Someone couldn't keep his trap shut it seems, not the GI reveal.

Make it a DLC cosmetic like Killzone

 

[GreyWind]

So no more butt slap animation?

 

[Twin Tails]

I'll pay for butt smacking post game animations.

 

[kittens]

I'll pay for butt smacking post game animations.

Does the other person have to pay to get their butt smacked? Consensual two-way microtransactions.

 

[Fata1moose]

The weapon highlights do look kind of tacky, though they should look better at a higher resolution. I prefer Halo 2 anniversary's weapon spawn indicator though. Also I'm really glad the Railgun is back, though I could do without some of the other weapons such as the suppressor and incineration canon, sometimes less is more.

It was Brosensual - 25G
"Successfully use a two way victory pose"

 

[Fata1moose]

:lol I would pay just for this achievement.

 

[GreyWind]

Yes! Do want.

 

[kittens]

Nathan Fillion combat banter?

WE BACK B O Y S

Noooooo. The character dialog was one of the biggest blemishes on the otherwise awesome ODST campaign.

"Successfully use a two way victory pose"

lmaoooo

 

[GringoSuave89]

I'm thinking more of a Forerunner Rail Gun with more AoE damage. If I'm reading it right.

Closed beta, or maybe a press/pro event that had a timed NDA.

Make it a DLC cosmetic like Killzone

I'd be okay with that. Any chance to personalize my Spartan past armor. I noticed Osiris Team has sort of decals and markings on their armor (Buck has a little heart with an arrow through it). I'd love to have details like that.

 

[SmartWaffles]

I like the new DMR scope, almost like classic zoom, almost.

 

[kittens]

So if ground pound got nerfed, what's the point of it even staying around? At this point it sounds more useful as a mobility option (go from high ground to low ground as quick as possible) than as an offensive option.

casual bait

No more bros, I'm disappointed.

Same reasons there are assassinations, humiliation kill.

It almost verbatim the beta code. So I would basically ignore everything you're looking at.

 

[-Ryn]

343 could have special Victory Pose specials that let you buy a pack and give the other pose as a gift. Make a Victory Hug for lovers.

There could even be reaction poses to certain bro poses (slap ass = deck face, high five = leave em hangin, chest bump = move out of way/point and laugh, brofist = brofist

Spoiler

you do not dis the fist

). The possibilities are endless.

Make it a DLC cosmetic like Killzone

Would be the first microtransaction I've ever purchased

 

[IHaveIce]

you mean graphically?
because the killfeed sounds really good and the promethean weapons aswell

The shadows. The shadows. The shadows.

 

[RowdyReverb]

I would like a post-game celebration in which the Spartans of the winning team kill and teabag each other while throwing grenades at the floor. More realistic that way.

 

[MouldyK]

Man, Halo is Dead one moment, Alive the next...


...Nicole-458 should return to celebrate these Flip-Floppy times.
