Seriously? Wow I can't even play Reach now? Fml.

The likelihood that ANY 15 characters could seriously spoil the Halo 4 Campaign for you is pretty small. The idea that a couple of words strung together, making up a gamertag, might ONLY be applicable to Halo 4 spoilage is sort of silly.

SnapeKillsDumbledore is 21 characters.

 

[Ramirez]

Don't know if this is old but saw it on waypoint.

Also just a friendly reminder, avoid the comments as they may have spoiler content in there.

These were awesome. Dominion looks like a ton of fun, not a fan of the Scorpion on Exile though, I see that getting taken out quickly. The Scorpion will never be fit for MM...

SnapeKillsDdore fits though

CortanaDiesInH4
ChiefDiesInH4
TupacIsAlive

They can do it. ; ;

Well. I know nothing about the story, but here's a possibility - there is no spoiler in this (it's just a format) but I'm tagging it anyway in case it turned out to be close:

Spoiler

CHARACTERDIES would work with many of the characters in H4 - could also be used as a "fake spoiler" of sorts just to mess with people.

Send Moa back to waypoint, grab your pitchforks and torches.

crap

CortanaDiesInH4
ChiefDiesInH4
TupacIsAlive

They can do it. ; ;

But, see...

None of those are spoilers. Because you have ZERO idea what's true, what's false, what's even aimed at H4. (I'm pretty sure Tupac's not even IN the campaign.)

::shrug::

If you're that scared, stop interacting online for another two weeks.

Illustration:

TartarusDies fits as a gamertag, right?

Would you consider that a Halo 2 spoiler? Even if you know whether it's true or not - you don't know any context.

Eh. Not worth the argument. Never mind.

 

[feel]

Fantastic.

lololol

and now I await kylej's awesomely awkward comment on this picture that everyone pretends they didn't read

I get what you mean 100%. I'm just a worry wart. Even if it was a BS tag that isn't a real spoiler, my mind would start spinning that it is true.

Tupac isn't in the campaign?

LE pre order cancelled.

That guy's page has about 15 different H4 multiplayer vids. It's the one I mentioned earlier about Relay. There's a KOTH match on the Forerunner forge map too, so you get to hear all the announcer beats for the stuff you do while in the hill.

 

[HiredN00bs]

Tupacs never die. They're just missing in action.

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

Spoiler

I think if anyone here has seen the terminals in Halo 3 and knows the Didact's involvement in Halo 4, this shouldn't come as a surprise at all. I don't even read any extended Halo lore and I expected it after remembering the conversations in the terminals.

Can you comprehend any of my posts?

 

[NobleGundam]

Excellent. Surprised we haven't seen them yet though.

Actually, we have several times in previous threads before, but at rare occasions.

Halo 4 Field Guide is now online for Expertzone Users.

Yeah I don't think x dies spoilers are usually that bad. The context of the narrative matters far more which is why I normally don't care
about spoilers. I'm just going in dark this time because I want some of that Halo 1 childlike feel back, just to try this once.

Tupacs never die. They're just missing in action.

If only... :'(

Does somebody know, if the bulletin will be early or late today?

Weird I haven't noticed them. Is the difference less noteworthy than in reach?

Hologram Tupac is the prototype for Cortana's hologram.

Seriously? Wow I can't even play Reach now? Fml.

Not being able to play Reach might be for the actual win...

Wtf 343i?

Sad panda about not having the red X appear over a dead body. That was an iconic graphical technique in Halo.

 

[Hypertrooper]

I am not sure if it is covered here but Fight like a Girl will open their registrations for this year's tournament. WTF is FLAG? That's the question, some of you will ask themselves. FLAG is a charity tournament. Every team pays a $20 entry fee and the whole money goes to the breast and cervical cancer research. Pretty cool if you ask me. And I totally got Tashi in my boat and we are going to participate.

 

[The Real Napsta]

The red X's don't show up on your UI, either. The Xs only show on your radar, which isn't in Slayer Pro.

RIP "1 shot on my X" 2004-2012

NO way!

Step 1: No armor lock play list.

Step 2: Awww yeah

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit.

You forgot Step 0: You're playing Halo: Reach

That kinda supersedes everything else

[Karl2177]

Alright nerds. 1/4 of the way to a new OT in 3 days is bad, especially when the only big thing that dropped was campaign theatre and the gameplay trailer. Less talk about the same shit that has been iterated a hundred times and more constructive, analytical, or genuine curiosity, please.

That said, many of you noticed I changed my avatar to a non-Didact symbol. It is that of Offensive Bias. To all of you lore experts, what became of him(?) after the war? Please use spoiler tags in your response.

 

[Risen]

You'll fit nicely in my backpack.

That's a fun tourney right there... well run and some good people play.

 

[Woorloog]

Not getting this.
Someone needs to explain the joke.

Also, it feels like Bish is becoming a HaloGAF member if he visits this thread even more often in the future...

 

[zlatko]

Step -1: Reach is fun. ; ;

I've bought and sold Reach 3 times, but in its current state I find it a good game. It took the map packs, and non armor lock playlists for me to finally warm up to it and enjoy it.

Still too many Forge maps for my liking that get voted to be played, but oh well.

Why are there no lightmaps? I've noticed in some videos random object won't have their lightmaps baked in, but never a whole map.

e: the SAW sounds terrifying

He's here to kill shit head pirates and spill the blood of spoiler droppers.

People asking for clarification about Theatre
Frankie being a janitor
A "mess" being created with folks unhappy and then unhappy again at the lack of explanation
Frankie coming into the thread and talking about other stuff
Joke about him "avoiding it" like a dodgy janitor

Honestly, I didn't didn't put much thought into it. It's just as joke about GAF being GAF.

Might be the fact that he's in theater.

Hmm. We need a gif where someone kills pirates, that someone shopped with Bish face of course.

Ah. Hmm. The way the pic was taken threw me off, wondered what rosso's my posts had to with the pic.

Holy shit, Tupac Hologram replaces Cortana in Halo 5.

What have you done! "Chief, don't make a thug a promise you can't keep."

Relay is also going to be a really good map.

 

[Hydranockz]

Sub me in coach. (Is it €20 per team or per person in said team?)

Edit: Lol wait it's per team It's 2v2. Hmmm.

 

[BeekleMatter]

So I ran out of stuff to read on my reddit front page during class... And I made the mistake of hitting the "new" button... 4th post down from /r/halo was a (potential) campaign spoiler...

-_-

 

[Blue Ninja]

The grandiose trailer recut is going to be put on hold until I get a computer actually capable of running decent video editing software.

So I'm just gonna try and see what I can cobble up with WMM instead.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Yeah. Figured the bros would be... battle bros.

 

[Pavaloo]

The distinction between the two is blurry, but to say that community managers are there to shill a product is, in my experience, entirely inaccurate.

Ah, I understand the distinction between the two you're making now. I agree to some degree, but I also feel like community managers aren't meant to be our "friends." (Not saying that you've said that, but I get that feeling from some posts) In that sense I mean, I don't think users are entitled to information if the studio is withholding it.

Can you comprehend any of my posts?

I understand that you don't expect these things to occur over the course of one game, but I feel like it would be foolish to think that they wouldn't even be referenced in the first game of the trilogy.

Tupacs never die. They're just missing in action.

Respect.

 

[wwm0nkey]

So besides me and Letters, does anyone else expect an accidental Halo 4 shipment truck flip?

 

[Purplemage]

Everyone always bashes poor Reach so hard. I just passed 9000 games yesterday, and very very little of it was MLG. Multi team is fun with the right game type and Rumble pit/Living dead are fun if you enjoy those clutch moments at the end.

There's a million complaints about Reach and they all hold merit but there's a fun game underneath its hideous face. But lordy I am so ready for a new challenge in 4. This game needs a bigger population again. Less game types are gonna help out a lot.

 

[Louis Wu]

Snape kills Dumbledore?!?! :O

You were joking, but this is a perfect example of what I was trying to say.

Even the people who SCREAMED THIS SPOILER OUT in drive-bys on the night of the release of Half-Blood Prince had no clue what this actually meant - even THEY had to wait for two years for this spoiler to be put in context.

Just knowing a fact doesn't tell you the story.

(I'll buy that knowing the fact before you get to it in the narrative can decrease the emotional impact - but in some ways... it INCREASES tension, because you have no idea when to expect it. Will this encounter end with the appearance of Tupac? How about THIS one? Maybe THIS one?)

I dunno. Someone spelling out the end of the game, in a paragraph or whatever - that can definitely decrease enjoyment (for those who aren't like Dani). But two words - which may or may not be true? Eh. I don't buy it.

 

[Pavaloo]

Holy shit, Tupac Hologram replaces Cortana in Halo 5.

What have you done! "Chief, don't make a thug a promise you can't keep."

I'm now ridiculously upset that this will not exist.

Waitwhat people on my FL playing Halo 4 multiplayer.

TeamBRs on Haven looks really good.
