To be fair they acted like Reach was good.
Biggest thing I noticed is that they gave us good things to orient the player with finally.
Clearly defined red side / blue side, or open skybox side vs. closed side.
Monolith looks fantastic
Sasha Grey isn't.
To be fair, aside from a competitive halo multiplayer standpoint, Reach was a great game.
What exactly was wrong with Reach, in all aspects? It was one of the best made games in 2010.
I'll tell you what I hated, Armor abilities, bloom, poor playlist management especially with the transfer, too many forge maps, DMR, poor movement, film grain and the ghosting.
Everything else from art direction, level design, sound design, animations, enemy A.I. was top notch.
Kinda embarrassing the maps need o be tweaked to be made competitive.
What about meeeee
Who hates Bungie ViDocs? Those are some of my favorite dev videos. Granted this last one for Destiny wasn't too good, but come on. Would you rather they don't give any ViDocs at all? Bungie has some of the best interaction with fans. Mail sacks, humpdays, ride alongs, ViDocs, post-mortems.

Halo 5 better have a beta me thinks.
I actually can't remember Containment all that much. Was there a tank on it? I remember Banshees maybe.
It's been happening since Forge was first put in. It even happened on Heretic, the remake of the best Halo map.
Also, some junior is walking around with that same avatar but just a little zoomed out. Just a heads up

Yeah... I thought one of people's complaints was that 343 didn't do enough of these.

I enjoyed the 3 part 'Making Of' quite a lot. Thought it was well done.

Yeah they've released a lot more, but I remember a few months before Halo 4 came out people were complaining that we had barely gotten any ViDoc/BTS videos. The majestic one was good, I hope they do one for each map pack going forward.
All I really remember about Containment was some guy shooting a plasma pistol at me that shot tanks. For whatever reason, most of my memories around that map involve people modding it to hell.

containment racetracks were pretty awesome
Bungie ViDocs: Better than nothing at all.

Brainstorming another revised Promethean Knight class possibly called the Grappler that primarily uses the Gravity Gauntlet and grenades. What else should it use, if anything? I was debating dual Boltshots or the UNSC grenade launcher that got modified by Engineers but any suggestions are welcome.
I love that he's already posting Tom Petty music videos and #FreeSuperDAE. Hahaha.
As a fiction guy, I also agree
Adding the leading mechanic to the DMR would be one good way of reducing its power if 343 keeps it in loadouts (personally I wish they'd just dropped it from the get-go, LR + BR + Carbine covers all factions anyhow. Should have been left to get glasses on Reach.)
Also, remove the Banshee bomb and place Banshee in middle of Exile like in Dominion, remove the Gauss Hog and Scorpion. Asymmetric vehicle placements is bad, as much as I love both vehicles. (My random suggestions for Exile.)
I used it for a bit, didn't notice a difference
I thought that was you. GGs
Cartographers, check your forum
For me, it was Turf and Relic.
edit: you could pretty much tell which mod patch modders were using within 3 minutes of the game. It was essentially a small group of modders that made the original patches, then all the script kiddies just downloaded and used those mods themselves.
The only modder I was ever impressed by was the one that modded us on Headlong.

So if thats all the TU does then why were they being all "We cant list the changes yet cause people will find out what we are fixing and abuse it till the TU"?
There is very little in there of note. Most of them are just bug fies rather than sandbox fixes.

Bungie really made it hard to defend their ViDocs in that gaming side thread when they called Reach their swan song. I was going to make a compelling post to support their ViDocs, but if someone brings up that comment, my argument is done.

Yea Halo 2 mods online were pretty boring. It was usually just cheating mods or shooting something out of a charged plasma pistol. There were some fantastic mods which couldn't be played online.

What difference will it make if they continue to shove Fiesta down our throats. Its becoming apparent that we are ruining their vision for Halo with all this competitive balance nonsense.
You know what you really help 343i stop this circle of disappointing the fan base?
Feb 20th TU update - Bug fixes
Apr 20th TU update - Balancing, tweaks etc
See, this way people have the right expectations.

Because it was their swan song to Halo, by definition.
I played as an Elite in Halo 2 so I could fight against modders that would put all the cheat-traits on the Elite biped (invincible, etc) because they were trying to exploit the fact that the vast majority of players would be Spartans.
I'm REALLY glad nobody has to play the anti-modder metagame anymore.
Here we go again
Another patch next week?!
Also just had a Black Screen steal my overkill. Got the really nice triple, black screen, got the 4th kill but no overkill.
Thanks Obama

ah those were the days. I never really ran into cheaters, maybe because I got live in October 05 and it wasn't as bad then.
But it's a shame that Halo 2 modding automatically became associated with cheating, there were a lot of cool mods that came out of it. Oh well.
But what about Custom games mods? I joined a few modded custom games and those were awesome, and that was considered cheating?

That wasn't considered cheating. I'm pretty sure you still got banned from matchmaking, but I meant most people just remember modding as a form of cheating in the Halo 2 days simply because it was such a widespread problem.

Now now, I've said all I can, but don't expect anything right away. I don't want to put a date for when you will get more info, but...
Hey, is anyone going to PAX East?
