This is what I like to hear. Tim seems like a chill guy, comforting even. And we know Halo fans need comforting.

Welcome to Neogaf.com.
Seriously though... Longo is awesome and such a good grab for 343.
It's $100 on the Australian store...
Wat mate? Crikey!

Note : People don't mind that when it's either hid well or has a very entertaining demo.
You want your demo to be so entertaining and exciting that people don't think about that.

I love watching The Sprint.
Everyone has that confidence on their faces and in their voices when talking about Halo's direction and development. It's so awesome to see this for the first time with this new game. And what obstacles the devs are facing every decision being made and how it all just comes together. The E3 Campaign demo and Warzone was and still is epic imho. So hyped up to play them when I get my hands on it.
Also, I am curious to see what the Artemis system has to offer besides tracking down the chief and healing your squad mates. I have a hunch it can interact with Easter Eggs in some unique way. Hopefully. I wonder if 343 will have new updates to Warzone in developing new ways to reinvigorate the way you play in new maps for Dlc. Like new objectives and assets every week.

What's the newest Sprint episode?

All 4 were already uploaded.
Huh, I'd have thought guys like you would be able to play test and pretty much have the game completed by now. I know more are excited than negative, I don't know, just something I was thinking of. I was trying to put myself in these devs shoes.
Don't know about retailers, but because the code comes free with bundles there's tons of them you can find on Craigslist or Ebay for dirt cheap to buy.

Can't use Craigslist cause I'm in Australia and I can't find any decent prices on eBay. Might have to fork out the $100.
If it's not 90% halo comics, figurines and no mention of MCC I'm going to be disappointed.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.

Nope, an impressive version of Microsoft Sam all the way.
You know know these things, c'mon.
Ladies and Gentlemen David Ellis!
I just checked eBay Australia, I don't know where you are or where exactly places like Queensland are relative to you, but I've seen some for $30-$40 AUD. I'd also check the buy/sell thread here. Plus, why I said eBay is because some sellers would be willing to email you the code after payment as opposed to mailing it to you.
How do you think you'll stack up in arena now? Semi-Pro? Onyx?
I don't think I'll have enough time to hit Pro or even Semi-Pro unfortunately.
Scrub birch, confirmed.

I can 100% guarantee this (both tiers are being renamed).
Will there be further distinction between say Onyx 1 & 2 in respect to the symbols?
Welfare
Member
Why? Well Semi-Pro I could understand, but Pro seems like a great name to notify people that those players are top tier.
I proposed a shine system to the emblems, but I don't know how well that would look in the actual game.

Anynbody up for a few matches of Halo? I'm down to clown for a bit on whatever gametype.
THERE IS HOPE!!
Thanks Tashi. How's the job hunt?
THERE IS HOPE!!
I wonder if I could get away with just contacting Customer Support and seeing if I can just get the free game...
I like the red disc thingA skin contest would be great. Just allow us to use transparencies so I can make:
Sweeeeeeet
Thanks Tashi. How's the job hunt?

Oh yea, that's right!
It's doesn't vibe well with HCS and actually the eSports scene in general with legitimate Pro players around the world.
For example, what separates an HCS Pro from a Pro in matchmaking? It gets a little weird.
@Ryn - Job hunt?
Welfare
Member
I did think about that, but then that brings the question. Is HCS pro going to be a separate rank?
Makes sense. I hope the new names are great.
I will punch a kitten if they are Challenger/Masters.
Maybe you'll join Juices in the silver tier, or guys like me in the Bronze/Garbage tin metal tiers. Couldn't you just ask the pros or guys like Domino to backpack you to the top ranks and then just maintain it for whenever you do have free time to play?
Gonna keep with the precious metals/gems naming scheme? Maybe pro and semi-pro become diamond and platinum or something?
In some ways, yes and in others, no. We definitely want to recognize the HCS Pros, the best players in the world, and we want others to recognize it as well. How we do that though, is a little complicated.
The less cryptic answer is no, you will not earn HCS Pro "rank" by playing Arena.

Afraid to hit Gold 2 again, was not fun playing alone against organized parties....might gimp myself in the last few qualifying games. Breakout is no problem seeing as I only play that with a team anyway.
Its Josh
Nah fam he was right the first time
Haha oh yea!
I cut a deal with Frank. I get to keep my job but I have to wash his feet and shave his head every morning for the rest of the year. He says he used to do this for his pappy in Scotland.
Domino is too busy getting put on Trial by Osiris

Thanks, and I know you would not be able to earn that kind of rank through Arena, just wondering if there was going to be a distinction. Sorry if I worded that question weirdly.

There's b-roll footage of Fathom floating around, Rooster Teeth had it playing during a 343 interview. We've had the War Games footage as well as direct campaign footage. We need some Fathom footage in our lives (besides Conan).

Fixed.
I was just about to ask if anyone knows if there is there a link to that Rooster Teeth interview anywhere...
Well, you tried.
You missed one though.
They should give us classic/zoom as only option
but I don't know very eye opening. You always hear like, are these devs clueless, can't believe they missed this. And it's like they were picking out shit I wouldn't have even noticed or cared. Everything they do is a concerted effort by a massive number of teams. They notice lighting affecting a little corner of a wall. How many of us are going to play that Warzone level, not even give a second thought about how the Pelicans enter in, avoiding the terrain etc. I mean that little E3 demo of that little part of the Sanghelios world, dozens of people held meetings, they did several runs, so and so Grunt leaves too early, if you stay too far back this happens etc. The fog is not meshing well with the Spartans' hair. No wonder these guys are so burned out on the game by the time it launches. 3 months of work for a 3 minute demo that gets instantly crapped on by people jumping the gun etc. Maybe just me though. This is a business after all.I knew that was no ordinary sheen
Your game's weak, that's all.
