Nice catch Delta. Love how the SPI armor turned out in that art then. Looks great.

So, I was thinking for the whole debacle regarding all of the new abilities in H5, you could clear up a lot of room on the controller by assigning a couple different functions to the left stick:
LS: Movement (duh)
Click LS while moving: Thruster
Click LS while not moving in-air: Stabilizers
Click LS while not moving grounded: Initiate Crouch
I figure since people who ams gud at the halos are only ever using crouch for teabagging, crouch jumping (including gandhi-hopping) and non-toggle-crouching in the first place, you're really not losing a whole lot by not being able to crouch while motionless in the air. Obviously you could still move around while crouching, you'd just have to initiate it nonmoving. The only real application I could think of would be totem-poling for campaign trickery, but even then hover may prove more beneficial for that in the first place. Similarly, (and I know people have suggested this before) if you had that level of control over Hover you could implement Ground Pound by just hitting the melee button while hovering / stabilizing. That effectively gives you the remaining buttons, so I'm just arranging a control scheme to illustrate the room left over:
LT: Throw Grenade
RT: Fire Weapon
LB: Jump
RB: Melee Weapon
A:
B: Action / Reload
X:
Y: Switch Weapon
DPad ^
DPad > Switch Grenades
DPad v
DPad < Switch Grenades
RS: Aim, Zoom (Click)
That possibly still leaves you with at least four open buttons, not even counting the Start and Select buttons.
also no sprint kplsthx

Which means X is free for a Hologram!
All I see are filthy casuals in this thread and it's disgusting. Here's a mark of shame that the casuals can use as their avatars.
Thanks. Now I can fully embrace myself as a human bean.
edit: Double posts are for casuals, get at me.

This avatar is an affront to god.
Super weird. Can you PM me a link to that game session?
Just sent a mail on it. We'll look into, sorry for the inconvenience.
Edit: Wow, beaten by Frank. You think you're better than me or something bro?!
AT least three times better.
Don't be down on Tashi, he doesn't even realize how attractive he is. I ask him on dates and he gets all flustered
I quit.

You know what would be really cool? Is if we got Joe Staten to do a director's commentary on it and filmed it for Waypoint.

Ha motion tracker is pretty bad. Halo is conditioning people to depend on it rather than cultivating higher skilled players. When the NES came out and there was an endless stream of stupidly hard games like Battletoads and TMNT, kids had to suck it up and play the game. Didn't seem to be a problem back then, but now we're incapable of learning anything or dealing with challenges. Vegatable-potamuses be like, "spoon feed me my skill cap please."
honestly i can deal with motion tracker, but i prefer none
It's not that big of a deal. My roommate and I were super confused when we saw it was green and gray teams. Then we just started shooting at each other.
PM away.

Holy cow if the Halo 2 Director's Commentary thing with Joe and Marty was anything to go off of....
Please if there's a God beyond us... let this happen.

More collabs with former Bungie peeps, please and thank you
Oh man, get hype
Don't even tease me like that. You'll be worse than high school sloots.
Filmed inside a dusty barn with a small CRT and a hole in the roof I'd hope
As far as we know, nope.

Hire Marty to capture cinematic gameplay footage, he has experience with that sort of thing.
Works with MS again. Edit: Also writing the the new Halo: Shadow of Intent novel.
Dodging the question with a tease. But yeah, that would be really cool.
There's a coupple of people writing short Novella's. Joe Staten and Frankie are one of them. Looking forward to it.

SMG starts on Gemini is another one that often appears on the left vote block in ranked team slayer. Pretty sure these playlists aren't curated and are just native launch day game types from each respective game thrown into a random generator.

That would be awesome, Staten is great.
It would be even cooler if you got him to do a sequel.
Please?

Speaking of that cutscene, have we ever found out who exactly was interrogating Halsey?
Generic ONI Spook No. 3?

Naw. Giraud isn't nearly "in" enough to be interrogating Halsey.

He's probably going to go on the run soon. This coming episode, if I had to guess, with Pharaoh and M'Shak talking him through it. I hope Ryan and Petra tag along, tho.
