Not really? We could go with a Gaf staple of bitching about how we have like no info on the armor shit from preorders and LE not getting helmets. Etc. Etc.
We're literally arguing over editing. I mean..Someone please..speculate about why chief killed the universe with one faulty sticky throw.
I wonder if when Master Chief's past was being scanned if he saw the Halo 3 rank system.

we could discuss that gameplay that im sure some of us saw that made infinity slayer look like a clusterfuck of randomness and power weapons and also discuss how 343 cranking up the default game size to 10 people is pretty much a slap in the face to everyone that doesn't want to play stupid random big team style games all the time

Eh, I dont even wanna talk about the damn trailer. Imo it wasnt too spectacular. And i leave it at that.
You consider 5v5 to be a big team style game?

the addition of sprint and the inflation of map size leads to more vehicles in addition to the extra players so yes it's more of a "big team" style game than traditional 4v4 halo.

So many new people in this thread.
Oh sure versus traditional Halo I could see that then. I just wasn't getting how adding one player to each team equaled BTB style gameplay, but in relation to previous games I guess I can see that. So are both Slayer Pro and Infinity Slayer 5v5 then? I guess I had assumed they were 4v4.
They posted on Facebook that it was only going out this past Monday, so it might take a bit. I know this only because I fell down a dark, dark Mtn Dew hole last night on the internet.
On the upside, it did lead to me discovering that they're putting out a malt-flavored Mtn Dew with regional names/cans. I love malt AND hate myself, so I'm sure it'll be great.

pretty sure it's been confirmed that slayer pro is 4v4 yeah.
but c'mon you guys it's called "slayer pro" and if you think that the playlist will last beyond the first couple of playlist trimmings then you're delusional.

Until you hit 200 matches? Are you already dead?
These are codes for, what, exactly?
We can do better than this. No reason to raise so many red flags just because of a trailer. Especially if you're an old school halo head. The trailer is and independent entity from the game. If you love it or hate it it still literally has no bearings on the actual game. Come on guys. This stuff should have no effect on you.
Random spawns + instant spawns are going to lead to a lot of really shitty experiences for players. Oh, I'll just go back to my base to pickup the Mantis which I know should be spawning sometime soon. WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING HERE?!
Having teams spawn all over the map (at both bases, out in the middle, etc.) is bullshit I expect in a COD experience or FFA playlist - not in fucking Big Team.
No, but his camera battery died.

I'd rather play something akin to traditional halo in customs than deal with gimmicks.
Yeah. At 194XP.

I...agree? My post was just me being snarky about us needing a different topic to discuss, no more no less

Anyone waiting until all FUD parts are out so you can watch it at once?

If you take a look of that video you can easily see how it can be utilized
didact part1&2 + protein knight battle = 1 minute
protein knight + 2nd didact bit = half minute
its not like they will be airing 2:30 commercials on tv on the regular
I expect very action orientated cuts to start appearing

I am. After watching the first part I decided to just wait for the rest.

Are you gonna crack down like this whenever anybody starts talking about the Halo fiction?
How about FUD? That's a completely separate entity from the game as well. Better stop talking about that stuff, too.

yeah pretty much. I was hoping that kind of BS would be self contained but it seems to be the experience that 343 wants to be dominant.
yeah, same, but with the reveal that sprint can't be disabled I think we can all just prepare to say goodbye to traditional Halo.

Halo Reach 2 is still halo. It has halo in the name! C'mon man, troll harder.

I have yet to watch anything FUD-related since the announcement trailer and plan to watch all the material in one, glorious, potentially amazing night.

Traditional Halo is dead
GREAT!!
One of the HaloGAF videos from NYCC (before the embargo was imposed) showed either 4v4 or 8v8 on Ragnarok. It was annoying to watch teams push, gain map control, and then have the other team just randomly spawn all around the map. Instant flanking or instant spawn behind is does not "feel like Halo."
Maybe that was just the build they were playing, but it was the first thing that I picked up on in the video that was radically different from Halo titles.
It is true. And it is heartbreaking. Halo is dead, long live
