[Talents]

[gillFTR]

Haven't caught up with the thread, but I'll answer this post now:

The ending is out on Youtube. Abandon ship while you can.

Because in the two games that I played I had no idea what the fuck was going on. It's very hard to give concrete, detailed impressions when you're thrust into a map you've never played before, in a complex objective mode that you've never played before, and dealing with so many new elements in a Halo game that have never been there before – all while you're accidentally pushing the wrong buttons because you had to switch a new control scheme.

Everybody else, especially Tashi, has no excuse though.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Ohhh shit he's going on Vortex. I'll grab some shots.

 

[Talents]

Aww snap he's about to show the new Mp map

Spoiler

vortex

ANNND vortex is a btb map.

Crying face

 

[Tha Robbertster]

Vortex is a Big team map.

 

[Gabotron ES]

New map looks crazy

 

[Omni]

I predict the rest of this OT will be spent with people saying "THAT'S IT I'M GOING DARK" and then continuing to post after that.

>_> haha

 

[Seance]

BTB map....

At least we have:
Abandon
Haven
Solace
Adrift

All better than Reach's launch "small" maps.

 

[Talents]

Mantis can't be mancannoned.

Interesting

 

[The Librarian]

Guys, stop watching the stream. You'll spoil yourselves for the surprises later tonight.

Edit: I don't know what's going to happen at the panel, but the guy could show something in his stream 343 is going to announce, and that'll ruin the fun! Especially for me, because I don't want to read any unannounced stuff, and I don't want to read it in here.

 

[cocamola]

BTB map....

At least we have:
Abandon
Haven
Solace
Adrift

All better than Reach's launch "small" maps.

Hopefully the DLC will also solve this. Also is there any new vehicles we haven't seen?

 

[Shadders]

Wasn't there rumours of a video about ranking today?

 

[Seance]

Huge Spoiler:

Spoiler

Mantis can't man-cannon

lol

 

[Tha Robbertster]

He also showed the vehicle pallet for the map

Spoiler

Mongoose .
Warthog .
Wraith .
Scorpion .
Ghost .
Banshee .
Mantis .
Shade turret .


Does that mean no Falcons?

 

[op_ivy]

jumped on just in time to see about 30 seconds of vortex, looked nice, but all he did was blow up a mantis and stare at the ground

 

[L1NETT]

BTB map....

At least we have:
Abandon
Haven
Solace
Adrift

All better than Reach's launch "small" maps.

Oh well :/ I feel the the new forge spaces might give us some good Arena style maps.

Put it this way, 4/10 maps don't have vehicles.

 

[Overdoziz]

Another canyon-ish map with forerunner structures. :/

 

[Rickenslacker]

Here's what I caught from the Vortex play:

The Mantis was Forged onto the map.

Also they're sticking with the manta vs shark motif for teams? Lame.

 

[gillFTR]

Hmph not sure about the new player lobby.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Game looks so good, I hope someone is screencapping this.

Kinda dissapointed with the very similar aesthetic running through the multi maps - map looks good though.

Kinda silly that he is giving away his gamertag. talking to friends and playing online lol.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

Seems like no full waypoint integration with Halo 4. You sill have to exit the game.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I really am loving the focused playlists.

 

[IHaveIce]

Another canyon-ish map with forerunner structures. :/

This. What the shit.



Playlist for Flood confirmed just now.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

I really am loving the focused playlists.

No doubles, no normal FFA, no assault, maybe no one flag. Can't say I like that...

 

[bobs...onGaf]

No doubles, no normal FFA, no assault, maybe no one flag. Can't say I like that...

Is this confirmed?

 

[L1NETT]

no normal FFA,

Is Regicide it's own playlist?

 

[Gabotron ES]

Did anyone see how many players was the Dominion playlist? I think it was 12, not sure

 

[The Librarian]

Now I kinda know how David feels.

:/

 

[Seance]

No doubles, no normal FFA, no assault, maybe no one flag. Can't say I like that...

No Assault or one flag? What a tragedy.

But seriously there needs to be 2v2.

 

[Talents]

No doubles, no normal FFA, no assault, maybe no one flag. Can't say I like that...

There's no doubles!?!?

noooooooooo.jpg

 

[Swarmerr]

No doubles, no normal FFA, no assault, maybe no one flag. Can't say I like that...

I know I am definitely not playing regicide..

The lack of doubles is kind of sad too

stream just got well.... wtf

 

[Tha Robbertster]

Is this confirmed?

Is Regicide it's own playlist?

I thought so. From what I saw, the launch playlists were:

Infinity slayer
BTB
Dominion
Flood
Regicide
Slayer Pro
King of the Hill
CTF
Oddball
SWAT


I may have missed a few. Maybe someone screencapped it?

 

[IHaveIce]

^^^^
Pretty sure there was also oddball

Is Regicide it's own playlist?

Yes it is.

 

[Omni]

This. What the shit.

Well it makes sense I guess. For some reason their artists can draw rocks really awesomely, but can't make a grass ground texture to save their lives. Hence, the canyon.

At least this way we only have two maps that look like they're packing sub-HD ground textures (Valhalla + Exile)

 

[Talents]

Did he really just go on that...

 

[Gabotron ES]

He's watching porn now, I guess I'll stay

 

[op_ivy]

um, porn now ffs?

 

[Noricart]

Also they're sticking with the manta vs shark motif for teams? Lame.

I thought were going to be more than just that.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Wait let me get this straight. He has Halo 4 and hes streaming porn instead of streaming the game?

 

[gillFTR]

Now I kinda know how David feels.

:/

Only if they knew how we felt.

 

[Seance]

OK seems like stream has stopped playing Halo 4. Ahem.

*Closes window*

 

[Poker Face]

He's watching porn now, I guess I'll stay

Did he really just go on that...

hahaha wat

 

[op_ivy]

maybe hi misinterpreted the "theater" voting?

 

[L1NETT]

Cheers Robb Sad about no normal FFA.

Is Team Slayer in the Infinity Slayer Playlist?

 

[Overdoziz]

None of the disc maps would work for doubles anyway, just wait until there's some good 2v2 Forge maps. Never really understood why Bungie or 343 never updated the Doubles playlist in Reach with Forge maps specific to that playercount because that's where Forge really 'shines'.

 

[gillFTR]

I think he figured out hes getting banned.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

I thought so. From what I saw, the launch playlists were:

Infinity slayer
BTB
Dominion
Flood
Regicide
Slayer Pro
King of the Hill
CTF

I may have missed a few. Maybe someone screencapped it?

No FFA and no Snipes makes me upset

I doubt thats the full list - im sure Swat would be in there.

Yes, you are right. Most of the maps are barely small enough for 4v4.
