What's with this influx of people all of a sudden?
Welcome all
It's like church attendance at Easter or Christmas. People all show up for the big events to feel like they are a part of it.

The bookend cutscenes of H2A make me guess they might be and there's even classic banshees on official art so you might not be too far off.

Oh yeah... that questionnaire... Oops.
Ditto, I always like strong use of really defined themes. One of my favorite things about Lost actually. Pretty much every major character and recurring actions had strong leitmotifs.

The rank grind is going to be rough in this game...
Just played a game where I went 20 and 10.
My 4 team mates had a grand total of 21 kills and 50 deaths...
Yeah, the next game 2 of my team mates quit off the start so after 2 minutes of being destroyed I gave up.

If that happens more than once I give up for the day.
Which means I give up every time I play.
Just like you remember it.

How's Destiny goin man?
I miss standby cheats. I also miss grabbing people's IP's and booting them mid game in Halo 2. Good times.

Wait, why is toggle crouch frowned upon? Because it implies you play with radar?

No, because it makes you a racist. Like Elzar.

Restin Peens was the long-lost brother of Dustin Echoes, right?
Christopher Lee died! D:
RIP Saruman...
Eh, I stopped playing that game when I realised all I was doing was grinding to get cool weapons to help me grind to get more cool weapons. I'd also rather play a broken mess of Halo than Destiny's PvP. Destiny was okay, I'd give it a solid 7/10. Maybe 6.5...
That said I've hardly been playing anything recently, I'm right in the middle of exams. The only reason I was playing today was because I had an exam this morning so I had a break for an hour or so. MCC worked, it's just I'm still a really low rank so I'm matching with terrible people. Only got a week and a half left though. Then the grind begins.

Damn. Legendary actor. He was supposed to be immortal! Same with Nimoy.
I think it'll also be depressing when we are older and our generation of video game voice actors go

There was once a glorious age in which I could hop on Halo 3 and Reach and have 10+ HaloGAFers to play with at any given time. Now I'm almost always stuck with randoms. It's brutal. On a related note: 343, please include a Reach style active roster. The one in MCC is still lacking. Make it easily accessible, easily readable, and make inviting scrolling and inviting people take as few button presses as possible.
I recently had the same realization. I stopped playing from October to April, and I think I'm done for good now. The game just isn't good enough to keep the grind satisfying. I have better games to play.

Yeah, Reach's Active Roster should be (imo) the baseline for 343's UI team in 4.
I can barely remember 4's but MCC's menus.. they are at the very least not pleasant to look at.
Something as useful and aesthetically pleasing as the Reach AR.
Yo for real though, anyone going to SDCC and want to pick me up those boomco guns? lol

I just realized: at this point my biggest concern about Halo 5 is the H4 style Steitzer announcements in multiplayer, lol. It's ultimately a small complaint, but they're seriously terrible. Announcements were yet another thing Reach did best (though it had a few unnecessary ones).
Biggest issues for me are still ADS and unlimited sprint. Can't wait to see toggle functionality for at least sprint, but I did like the DMR change. Still nowhere near as good as classic zoom of Reach or Halo 4, but much better than the scope in beta. The sides are completely devoid of visual info now though.
Reach's active roster was phenomenal. I've been crossing my fingers for it or a better version of it to return in a future Halo game.

Active Roster is obviously the high point, but ANYTHING's gotta be better than the Halo 4 baseball cards with no info and that droooooooooooooooooooooning music in the lobby.

I wonder if there is any chance we'll get any new information on the ranking system during E3 week. I really enjoyed my time with the beta and I believe the ranking system was a big part of that. I am really glad they seem invested in a ranking system. I also like the idea it is primarily win/loss based.
I am curious what lessons they learned during the beta and what they have changed since. I know there are a lot of plates spinning on their end but I think getting ranking right is really important to the population. I know I enjoy my time more playing Halo having close matches with competent players rather than stomp fests whether that be getting stomped or stomping the other team. My experience during the beta was great in this regard.

For me, the biggest issue with Halo 5 is its released date. Too far from now. Can't wait.

I love the way he delivers the line, but I really don't want to hear it multiple times per game.
I completely agree to be honest. I think far too many of the medals have announcer associated lines. It should be limited to multi-kills, killing sprees and game related announcements, i.e: "1 minute remaining", "the enemy team has your flag" etc. I'm fine with having medals for every last thing, but I really don't need to be shouted at whenever I get a Comeback Kill or a Hail Mary.
Top Gun is okay as well I guess. You're only going to hear it once and it's somewhat unique.
I dunno. There were OG Banshees in Halo 4's concept art too. I can't get my hopes up.
Also, the H2A cutscenes were being done by Blur, so it makes sense they'd use the Elite models they've got ready and waiting. Aside from the Arbiter I wouldn't use them as an indicator they will look that way in Halo 5 at all.
I agree. There's so much going on in the audio standpoint that it's bothersome to me. I'd much rather save the VO for important game information and sprees.

On the topic of the classic Halo theme, I know we'll have a healthy dose of the Space Monks, but I hope we here the full Warthog run in all of its glory, that'd get me more hyped than anything, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
