Off topic (kind of) but is anyone else here going to SDCC? I assume Frankie and David will be there but wondering if anyone else from HaloGAF is going as well.

Protip time,

In your browser of choice go to you settings and the home page option next to www.google.com (if you dont have this get off the internet) type

Code:

The " | " is very important

And click apply, everytime you hit your home key a second tab should open up containing

t1330956000z0.png


Which is a countdown to the Halo 4 reveal based on what we currently know


Tested only on Firefox

Can't wait to not hear about:
  • if a single player has the potential to be dangerous
  • if going from strafing one direction to another makes you stationary for upwards of 10 seconds
  • if the game features maps that were designed to be played in a multiplayer FPS
1) There has never been a Halo campaign on the Xbox platform that was exclusively single-player (nor has there been a Halo game that was exclusively adversarial multiplayer).

2) This is arguably a valid complaint dressed in too much blatant sarcasm and hyperbole.

3) Despite the clarifications made by the designer and publisher that the multiplayer maps for Reach were designed independantly of the campaign and then inserted into the campaign afterwards, anyone who actually plays the game can see the evidence for themselves. The campaign encounters in the shoehorned multiplayer spaces are either of diminished quality or non-existant (Boardwalk). Please elaborate if you were referring to something else.

Does the Halo Reach Stats "HR Stats" iphone app uses this API key?

Every stats app uses it. Even the Bungie App will cease to be able to pull new stats after March 31st. On that date, all the stats apps out there will (for a period of time) just be served stats recorded up to that point, but nothing new, until Bungie shuts down their version of the API.


I'm pretty sure this is Containment with it's hue shifted to blue.

So there's some sort of Halo 4 revealing on Monday? Sounds good, been too long since we had some concrete information on it.

I may have soured on Halo: Reach, but still interested to see what 343 Industries has in store for Halo 4.

Can we ride wildlife? Bungie dropped the ball with Reach.

Damn, that's pretty sad. Hope we get something similar for H4.

snipped all the images

Bravo, the Halo 3 stats really topped it off.


Bobs99 Thanks this helpful post.

I would love it if 343 released a Halo 4 stats API, I would love to get to play around with that stuff. I dont know why I didnt in the past, but it seems like it would be a great way to learn a lot while doing something semi interesting.

I think you misunderstood him (or I did... had to read it twice). What I got out if it is that he hopes that a single player (as in one person) is going to be capable of performing amazing feats in multiplayer (due to fast enough movement speed, strafing, a high enough shield recharge rate, etc.) as opposed to being extremely reliant on your team mates.

it's an unwritten leaker rule that every picture must be taken with a 2002 cellphone by someone with a bad case of shakes.


And I think I see a BR.

It's fake.

I get the feeling that was little more than damage control. If the intention is to use the maps in multiple areas across the game, then even if they are primarily designed for multiplayer, the influence from the single player is going to hurt the maps. I mean you cant design a map 100% for multiplayer then shoehorn it into campaign, your going to have to do at least minor tweaks to it.

I personally think Reach had some of the worst map design in a Halo game, which is insane considering the Halo 1 maps where made by guys just learning 3D max lol! In part I blame the dual purpose of the maps. As you said, the maps are severely underused in the single player, so I am flabbergasted that they even chose to shove them in there. I was even more flabbergasted by the fact that multiplayer maps where cut if a campaign location couldnt be chosen for them. Even if the map design itself wasnt affected I am still gutted that we lost out on the maps that take place in interesting locations around the Halo universe.


It's fake.

How can you even tell this lol? They just look like a blur of blue! :p

After seeing that picture on your phone after you took it... Why would you even bother posting it?

I could take a picture of different angles of my ass and make it look more like a Halo game than that.

From my phone, these look like shitty ultrasounds.

You can see what you want when you look well in fact. Some dudes have seen Cortana, a planet, the Master Chief's Cryotube, and frankie see a fake.

Ninjas have not lied to us for Defiant, ODST & cie, so I don't know why they could lie here. But I don't care, I'm waiting for Monday, or maybe, some leaks before.

Italy, Netherland, if you see this message, I think I'm speaking for all my country when I say France let you the flag.

Thanks.

So many leaked screenshots this week. Halo4Follower has a lot of analysis to do:"So it looks like Cortana is about 5 months pregnant in this screenshot. Draw your own conclusions."

I laughed.
 
Yep! Bought a new camcorder and tripod for PAX.

Hoping to record everything Halo-related I can, including your panel. I'll have ample storage space for hours of HD footage, so long as I can keep my battery packs charged.

Sounds awesome, man! For your camera's sake, thank God I'll be flanked by two people WAY more beautiful, lol.

Well hello there. So now we have two Waypoint moderators here? Rukizzel and you.

Three of us, actually. ;-)

You forgot one thing that we are almost 100% finally going to see

Who/what the fuck we are fighting! Seriously there have been so many things we could be going up against Monday we will finally know.

Please not. I don't want to see anything about the campaign, and begin this new story like I started Halo: CE in the past : without knowing something.
