That's fan art, you have grifball which is basically assault with ball throwing enabled. I heard you can give the ball an arming time too.

 

[FyreWulff]

It wouldn't be far fetched for Assault to be based off the Flagnum (re: that imagE), either. Would actually be a callback to Halo 1 Assault.

edit: that's fan art? IGNORE PREVIOUS LINE

OT, but damnit id. You can't play Doom 1 or 2 if you install the Doom 3 BFG disc:

wut

Dang you fan art!

Damn, thought that was real. Was getting excited at the thought of Spartan IIs being part of Majestic Squad

Joo kid gets mentioned way too much for a random junior that came and went fast..

I find the constant mentioning of him more annoying than he ever was.

I'm about 95% sure this is fan-made.

Atleast you don't have him following you on twitter.

How did Extraction work exactly?

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Miss Zoojoo, kid was a legendary poster. Never forget.

 

[User 73932]

You know what's awesome...

Throwing the oddball at an enemy player to stop them from shooting you.

Oddball is going to be my new favorite gametype.

G.O.A.T

 

[Karl2177]

It very much is, but I'm trying to separate it's functionality from the appearance of the objective itself (ie it could be a bomb with a magnum or an oddball with a magnum, same functionality)

I got that much. It just seems that some of the verbs are multifaceted.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

Oddball is going to be my new favorite gametype.

You can do that...?

 

[thezerofire]

They said something about having to catch the ball, so doesn't that imply you need to press a button to pick it up?

 

[Gabotron ES]

How did Extraction work exactly?

You approach some arm point and procced to plant some kind of explosive beacon with a weird gadget, I guess the enemy team must disarm it before exploding.

 

[Poker Face]

You can do that...?

INTERCEPTION +10

I wonder why they haven't shown this gametype off?

 

[GodlyPerfection]

If they give us the option to give points for kills on players with the oddball, regular kills, and kills with the oddball, then I'm bringing back my gametype "Hot Potato". *crosses fingers*

 

[Gui_PT]

Why did you guys look at the chat to close it?

Just click a button and it goes away.

"Well I should close the chat but it'd be rude of me not to read what people are saying before I do so"

 

[Moa]

I wonder why they haven't shown this gametype off?

Have we even seen a video of Vortex yet?

 

[DesertFox]

You approach some arm point and procced to plant some kind of explosive beacon with a weird gadget, I guess the enemy team must disarm it before exploding.

So basically it's assault, or does it play differently?

 

[Rickenslacker]

110% Weapon Damage Info
Battle Rifle - FOUR Shot Kill

Was Slayer Pro ever confirmed to be 110%? That would be gattlike.

 

[Gabotron ES]

No idea, the arming device looked freaking awesome.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Have we even seen a video of Vortex yet?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Vortex briefly in that MP BTS?

 

[Tashi]

Is it really a good idea to link every stream that's found?

 

[Tawpgun]

Oddball is going to be my new favorite gametype.

Did you guys end up playing a game of Oddball after I left?

Last I heard you had to "accept" the catch, probably by holding X.

 

[Moa]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Vortex briefly in that MP BTS?

Very briefly.

Extraction sounds like the replacement for Assault by the looks of it.

 

[Gabotron ES]

So basically it's assault, or does it play differently?

Definitely not assault, you are not carring any bomb.

So, it's basically assault?

Fucking hyped if true.

Fact: Assault > CTF
The explosion is just such a great payoff

Nope, not assault but I guess there's an explosion.

[Reagan's BR]

Just launched waypoint from my 360 and apparently I haven't unlocked any Halo achievements so all of my milestones and awards are gone.

Edit: Same thing on the website...is it just me?

We did. You don't have to accept the catch to pick up if you're on the opposing team. Basically you're dropping the ball for the enemy team to auto-pickup, by throwing it at them.

 

[Genesis Knight]

110% Weapon Damage Info
Battle Rifle - FOUR Shot Kill - ALL Battle Rifle shots have to hit.
DMR - FIVE Shot Kill
Pistol - FIVE Shot Kill

At 100% it's:

BR - 4sk
DMR - 5sk
Pistol - 6sk

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Its really not. HaloGAF WKnights keep snitching and getting em closed. We should be PM'ing the links to each other, non-douches only.

 

[JohnOfMars]

Do we know what day of the week new Spartan Ops missions will drop?

 

[Rickenslacker]

At 100% it's:

BR - 4sk
DMR - 5sk
Pistol - 6sk

Dunno if that's true or not for pistol since its only purpose is to be inside a trashcan or to make flag carriers pity themselves, but BR's 5 shot last I heard.

 

[Latvian Hitman]

At 100% it's:

BR - 4sk
DMR - 5sk
Pistol - 6sk

No. BR is 5sk.

 

[kittens]

Extraction looked more like Territories to me...

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

No idea, the arming device looked freaking awesome.

Did only one person have an arming device?

 

[Tawpgun]

We did. You don't have to accept the catch to pick up if you're on the opposing team. Basically you're dropping the ball for the enemy team to auto-pickup, by throwing it at them.

Hmm...

This sounds awesome.

 

[Enfinit]

Welp, just got back from Walmart and grabbed a few bags of Doritos. None of the big bags or Dew yet, just the small one-serving sizes.

Also, a couple Halo community members have spotted/bought some UNSC controllers out in the wild earlier than intended. One specifically grabbed one from EB Games in Canada. Just came back from GameStop (picked up Dishonored based off Cyren's and other's reccomendations) here in the States, and the clerk said that the UNSC controllers are slated to ship on the 19th and arrive on the same day or the following Monday.

Also, have a safe trip to all who are leaving NYC (and the States for Hypertrooper)!

 

[TCKaos]

For anyone worried about balancing the Mantis, this video should come in handy.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Just launched waypoint from my 360 and apparently I haven't unlocked any Halo achievements so all of my milestones and awards are gone.

Edit: Same thing on the website...is it just me?

no. You just haven't played a halo game. J/k

 

[Genesis Knight]

No. BR is 5sk.

Hmm, I must be blind. Was sure it was a 4sk.

 

[Gabotron ES]

Did only one person have an arming device?

Nope, it appeared once you take control of the arming spot (you hold a button just like for Dominion) and you spawn some cool looking explosive beacon with some kind of glove gadget (looked similar to Portal's gun thingy).
