Halo 5 needs swappable forge pallets for the environment and pieces as well as an adjustable skybox. Add the ability to add terrain pieces to build the environment to suit your needs and that could easily become the one large adaptable Forge map to rule them all.

That will depend entirely on the ring 2 pieces being fixed.

[NobleGundam]

There is the confirmation that Destiny is going to be on the Xbox 720 if it wasnt obvious already. Me and my friend found it on an employees portfolio.

Someone else had found it on OXM earlier today in a Tweet.

 

[The Real Napsta]

Yeah, I was starting to think I might have to call it off myself. Literally just got a new iPad Mini dropped into my lap.

I can finally use Smartglass! Pretty neat how it switches into stats mode once you start Halo 4.

I wish that worked on android.

Sounds like they really wanna follow their planned path regardless of the comunity reactions.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Oh yea no one cares about that theyll be out next round. Ohio State is going to take a dump on them.

Yep

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

New Super Mario Bros. U is cool.

And fluid.

Just amazing.

LOL! I was watching the last one I posted as I read your post.

I wish they would put these on PC, I'd play the shit out of em. Not gonna buy a new console or handheld for it though.

Damn that has to be a TAS. No way those are humans playing.

definitely not 343 employees.

Anyone have a summary writeup of the panel?

 

[Twilight Gap]

I must be the only gamer on the planet that doesn't like Mario platformers. Mario Kart, Mario Party [5], Super Mario 64, and Smash Bros are ok. None of the others hold my attention...

No ordinary human...

Anyone have a summary writeup of the panel?

- They have hooks in the gametypes to change the damage and Rate of Fire for guns and vehicles in the latest TU
- Free Forge map on April 11th with 3 massive flat islands
- CSR comes out on the 8th. In every playlist. Stats show your CSR at the time you played each game
- Multi Team playlist incoming, currently behind Castle paywall

 

[TCKaos]

Forge Island incoming for free early April. CSR inbound. TU inbound. TU allows for 343 to actively balance weapon damage. Ducktales is being remade in HD. WOO-OO.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I don't like 2D Mario games either, aside from Yoshi's Island which is so different it doesn't really count. 3D ones are great though.

Not even Super Mario Bros. 3 or Super Mario World?

The forge community has been begging for flat spaces since Reach. Plus it's free, and would now allow for a lot of great remakes.

Then they're allowing for weapons to be tuned without title updates. Plus they are bringing X's on death back.

The only negative is that there aren't any ranks that are viewable in game, but you have to use waypoint. If anything, it shows they are listening to the community. But they have to juggle the hardcore with the casuals.

People have to be reasonable. We are 5 months post launch, there is not much they are going to be able to do. People want UI overhauls, removals of the loadouts, weapons to be taken out etc.

At this point, you're either going to play Halo 4 or you're not.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Nah, I think I've nailed it down to being because you need power ups in order to tackle enemies outside of the typical hop and that ended up being detrimental to my fun. I mean I don't out and out dislike them, but they were never special to me; even when they were contemporary I was thinking "Eh, this is alright". I was a Sonic kid once I played that for the first time so for what it's worth that might explain a lot.

 

[User 73706]

Are you telling me they made a map big enough to house Archangel immediately after I invented it? Good going 343. I might actually have to try and forge something now.

Can't wait for someone to actually try and connect the islands or something :lol

You can do that in Halo Reach?

Oh God, not more bridge maps.

 

[FyreWulff]

oh my

 

[Twilight Gap]

oh my

wat that's actually pretty cool

 

[lybertyboy]

oh my

Yes.

 

[User 73706]

oh my

Have they fixed the bug where it shows medals in third-person upon death? I feel like that's probably holding it back too.

 

[NOKYARD]

and just as i was about to post my tutorial on how to easily build flat floors in Forge

 

[Nebula]

Oh God, not more bridge maps.

WE NEED THIS!

Can't wait for the mess of kill barriers that always occurs on bridge maps.

Liking the news though. Can't wait to start attempting to forge again. I hope they fixed the problemed forge objects.

and just as i was about to post my tutorial on how to easily build flat floors in Forge

Might still come in handy.

 

[FyreWulff]

Now the interesting thing to find out is if this possible big flat green screen object is always green/blue or is determined by it's Object Color.

Hmm

and just as i was about to post my tutorial on how to easily build flat floors in Forge

Still going to need it for disc forge maps and floating maps on FI I think

offtopic: I can record direct feed RB3 keys now

 

[Purplemage]

Loving the news about multi team even if it is the inferior six teams of two mode. I always had a soft spot for that three man style in Reach.

Do we know if the temp FFA forge playlist is gonna be eight players or six?

 

[Gui_PT]

wow 4 entire pages to get 6 people for customs


I remember when heylo wuz cool, all people would have to do is come in on a saturday and say "customs time" and we'd get two full parties going on

RIP in peace

Sure thing, although I won't be posting anything in relation to story spoilers (and I hope no one else does) not until the majority of Bio-Halo GAF has played it and had time to digest it.

I look forward to what everyone thinks especially compared to the first one.

It oozes style from the main menu.

 

[Omni]

Oh lawd. So many pro-sony posters in the gaming section spouting nonsense. I'm suddenly reminded why I tend to stay clear of console threads :\

 

[bobs...onGaf]

So im guessing there is no video of the panel? The news itself is cool but would be interesting watching it

Ok so the winner of the Foreign Halofgaf contest was none other then Daedalos42. Redemption code has been PM'd to them for them to redeem their Kindle copy of Halo: Silentium.

So Daedalos42 check your PMs. lol

 

[DeadNames]

I hope 343 doesn't do what they did with Reach and split everything up with the TU.

 

[gAg CruSh3r]

Not going to lie. I'm probably more excited for this Forge island then the new map pack. I been waiting for a Forge map like this for a long time!

Spoiler

I spend more time forging then actual gaming. I'm a freak

 

[Fuchsdh]

Oh lawd. So many pro-sony posters in the gaming section spouting nonsense. I'm suddenly reminded why I tend to stay clear of console threads :\

Even NeoGAF is not immune. I would have expected all the hype to die down once they realized that most of the new features aren't likely to be that amazing...

 

[kylej]

so the big reveal is we now have flat ground to place grey blocks on. halo 4 is saved

This post is like winning the lottery and complaining about all the taxes you have to pay.

People wanted it. They gave it to them. Spin as negative.

I will say that hearing people cheer about the red x gave me douche chills, though.
