You couldn't be more right.
I still like Destiny but damn Bungie...
Keep digging that hole right after you finally built up a modicum of goodwill from fans the last few weeks with House of Wolves. The Luke Smith Emote debacle and now this... CHRIST.

Whilst I am not keen on the weapons behaving differently, I feel as though you all have different eyes and ears. I am not saying I love those skins, but they look alright to me, and the guns sound alright too. I just don't get the ire. Laser looks and sounds good to me. Boom boom!

Its all subjective. I'm the biggest pile of salt here, and I think some of the skins look okay. But the fact that some of this stuff is changing for the sake of change, will make people express their opinions. No one is saying their opinions are 100% correct.

Honestly just spin it off as 343 Presents: Warzone, an infinity simulation

Aye, I know. I think I just don't care for aesthetic tweaks much, my tolerance threshold is obviously higher - short of radical changes of fundamental design, like turning the AR into a lollipop.
For me the real thing is gameplay: the rules and how it feels. My chief worry about H5 us just how imbalanced Warzone is. A little I can take, particularly as I LOVED the Arena Beta. A lot is another story.

Ya I feel like 343 is going though a lot of effort creating all this content for it to be used in one playlist.

By the sounds of it, there are at least two WZ game variants floating around. It will be interesting to see how it develops. PVE version Plz!!
Don't know if anyone saw this, but if you have like 3 and a half hours to kill, you can listen to all of Hunt the Truth at once with the Supercut version of it: http://huntthetruth.tumblr.com/post/122114944158/hunt-the-truth-season-one-supercut-hunt-the-truth

More dumb XP to increase your spartan rank (which basically did nothing) is a little different than an exclusive questline; although it will probably be bad.

I can't unsee them now. Should be a toggle.
But then again I think the ADS animations should be a toggle as well. So maybe this round of Halo just isn't for me.

The irony is delicious. Also... Just wait... Halo 5 tie-ins are coming.

I have this complaint about 343s mp design in general, even for halo 4. You look at classic Halo and many of the maps are very unique. You know what it is at a glance just by what the walls or the ground look like.
Especially in H5 343 tends to put a bunch of pieces in a blender and make a bunch of cluttered puzzle maps. And for larger maps its the same brown hills with random clutter scattered across it. The best looking map in H5 was one adapted from classic halo, even then it was still very cluttered.
Game Fuel is delicious. It's a permanent thing in my area now (current cans have no game tie-in branding)
I don't think XP from tie-ins is nearly as egregious as an exclusive mission in an arguably content-starved game.
Also, lmao

Wow buddy.
Double XP is not the same thing as a unique quest/mission.
I'd say the amount of maps they're shipping + the remixes require them to reuse assets. Those are very clean looking surfaces, so I don't mind much, TBH. Plus we're getting way more maps at launch than ever before as well. Anyone who thinks that quest from Redbull is going to be anything substantial is fooling themselves, or doing some really good concern trolling.
I have a can on my desk, I drank it a long time ago tho

Everyone get's the mission in January 2016. People are over reacting imo.

Wow shots fired haha.
And I completely agree, actually having exclusive content tied to a product is different than a small boost, while both are pretty stupid.
Honestly I feel like it's testing out whether a Battlefield Halo game would be popular enough on its own, especially from an economics standpoint if it were F2P.
I dunno where you were but there were many complaints had, especially here since most people were XB primarily last gen and would have liked to continue that trend.

A quest that will become available to all in January.
Funny how this is a terrible outrage but the ps4 guns and strikes weren't as much of an outrage for the past year....
Edit: ...and all this requires is to buy some cans of delicious Redbull, not a dang console.
I mean...
My younger brother still has an entire TWO LITER unopened in his bedroom at my parents' house. The thing is going to become an heirloom at this point.
It better be, otherwise a shitstorm will be a-brewin'.
It will probably be akin to that one-off "Urn Quest" mission--fight a bunch of DIFFERENT dudes in the same room you've done a mission before already.

shit storm is already brewing, im surprised there has been zero damage control. What Luke said and the Redbull thing doesn't bother me, but it seems a good portion of the community is upset.

I was only mostly a lurker on Halo threads back then.
Honestly, this whole destiny outrage thing is new to me as I've been utterly oblivious to it all until I started following neogaf and reddit pages...
Of course it is. Any of you could go post these images in Gaming side, and it wouldn't make it past 2-3 pages, because no one finds this stuff appalling aside from the hardest of hardcore.

Most of the outrage is because it's Destiny. Honestly, if it was another game like CoD, people would just be like whatever. However, Destiny already has a lot of hate and the comment from Luke the other day didn't help.
I can't speak for others, but as someone who got the digital deluxe version of Destiny, I was pretty irked that I paid the same amount for DLC as PS4 owners and got less content (until it unlocks later this year, finally).
I will say this Red Bull thing is exacerbated by being on the heels of that unfortunate Eurogamer interview about TTK DLC. I don't think it'd get as much backlash if that wasn't already going on.

Yeah
I feel like jem, but I'm super excited for this mode. All the skins and customizations, bosses, big maps, higher player count. Feel like this is gonna be real good for halos player count

Halo 4s MP was super serious. Warzone looks like a damn blast and I can't wait to dig into it.

The dumbest part about the whole thing is that the gaming side thread about the Redbull has over 40k views, the Kotaku article has over 80k views, and the reddit thread has over 1000 comments, which means that ad has been seen well over 120K times by its exact target market within a few hours. It's exactly what they wanted.

Yep. Genius marketing, I gotta say.

I know you love Destiny, Poker, but you have to admit it's just in bad form to lock out content like that. We still don't even have Hawkmoon ffs.
Think I'm gonna trade in my copy of Destiny, if I can. Maybe pick up the Legendary Edition a few months down the line if I can get it cheap. If not, then I won't mind. I'm done with the game.
