I extracted/de-scrolled the credits from that new Bungie Community Theatre video:

You have to admit, part of the fun missing in Halo is that these guys aren't doing it. The 343i team seems so stiff and corporate all the time.

I remember in the Halo 3 days Bungie was front and center on everything going on. The community became what it was because they were a part of it. 343i are just the people that made the game. There is such a disconnect.

Highly doubt it. Bungie day is literally a month after E3, I'm assuming they'll be there to show off Destiny at the MS press conference. Then we haven't even been to PAX yet in August. I'm predicting a Q4 release this year just in time for the holidays.

I'm hoping for a Xbox 720 launch title. Q4 seems so far away.

Yeah, I looked at July and typed June nonetheless. I'm hyped and I don't know, what I'm doing. :p

Agreed. There's no more fun outside of the games.

I'm sure there will be extensive back-patting for the release of Doubles and their introduction of Infinity CTF, and info the Snipers playlist that will probably take the place of a playlist that I actually enjoy.

I really like Jessica and she was a real pleasure to meet in person, but these updates have more fluff than substance most of the time. I get the sense that she's given a meager list of things that she's allowed to talk about each week and does what she can to make the best of it.

At this point, I feel that there's absolutely no need to play things close to the vest. Tell us what's in the works, even if it doesn't happen exactly as initially reported. Tell us what the plan is for any possible updates; even vagaries for the sake of modders/cheaters are better than complete silence.

Microsoft's that scumbag boyfriend that wants complete control over his girlfriend's life and Bungie was too fiery, so Microsoft made an animu body pillow of Bungie that it could have complete control over: resident waifu 343 industries.

Game Designer
We are looking for a Game Designer to help envision, plan and design world-class online experiences that extend our Halo games ‘beyond the box’. Our goals are to provide a rich set of social, fictional, and extended gameplay hooks for players, so that their experience with Halo does not end when they put their controller down. We want to increase long-term player engagement, by providing them with easy access to all their personal statistics, their social circles, tracking their improvement and collaborating with the community to unlock additional in-game awards.

It will be your job to define and own the set of features that best support and extend the game experiences. You will need to fully understand the Halo game(s) you are supporting, and work closely with the design and narrative teams to ensure that your designs focus on key elements specific to each game. You will act as primary liaison between the services, client and game teams when it comes to these extended features.

Your main responsibilities in this role will be:
- Drive communication and planning with internal sub-teams for features that touch multiple projects
- Gather, prioritize and communicate partner team requirements
- Create Specs for each feature, collaborating with ux, art, dev, test, pm, marketing, franchise, and management to arrive at optimal designs
- Represent your features to all partner teams, and help guide the client implementation of the features by collaborating with the client Producers
- Understand, define and improve the asset and metadata pipelines required to support the features
- Become the de-facto Subject Matter Expert for your features to the broad team

I had a GENIUS THOUGHT on the gaming side: 343 should turn Reach's space combat into a full game. The genre needs a revival, and I think 343 could handle it really well.

And then get someone else to make Halo 5.

Edit : Perfect gif, OddOne.

Maybe some map pack news tonight?
Probably not
It releases on the 25th of this month. Really want to see these new small maps.

Also got the movie Lincoln in the mail a few weeks ago and just watched it. Didn't seem like my kind of movie but I really liked it. Loved the music too.

I will say that I had more fun with the flight segment in the last stage of Halo 4 than I ever did with Long Night of Solace.

343 should make a Microsoft Star Fox.

Back permanently.

5 weeks later remove because of low population. So much for permanent.

Microsoft, make a handheld and put infunity mechanics on that.

Stick the competitive stuff on a dedicated console.

I actually wouldn't mind "beyond the box" stuff at all if it meant revitalizing some game mechanics and communities that got the short end of the stick. For example, mobile-accessible custom game browser, Custom Game Builder (with access to features like individual weapon damage that couldn't be patched into the game UI), customizing controller schemes, maybe even film clip stuff or Spartan Ops details, etc.

Nope, instead we're going to get fucking 343 Industries' Majestic Temple Run and HALO: INVASION, where you rack up points by buying select brands of beef jerky by scanning them at Barnes and Noble to earn points, and winning earns you a mysterious prize for use in Halo 5 that turns out to be bugged and ultimately can't be patched in due to a database error.

SpOps 9 trailer theories:
Does the Librarian plant seeds (genes) of herself onto Halsey?

Laskey Kills Palmer, Calling It! Jk or maybe...
Click to expand...

DUUUUUDE! That would INSANE! Seriously pumped for the last two episodes, though I'm sad that it will likely be the last we'll see of these characters (mainly only give a shit about Lasky, Halsey and maybe Thorne) until Halo 5, if there are no plans for another SpOps.

--

UNSC Civil War incoming? Lasky, Halsey, Majestic and Chief team up as Neo-Insurrectionists and create the Spartan Rebellion/Reclaimer Alliance. A new human faction is born.
