I think Science Mountain (the Scorpion level) has a lot of Watchers. Not sure if there's 30, though.

You're going to do this by navigating Reach's user interface.
It'll feel good. Like a Halo UI.

One thing i wanted to mention about what Josh said.["steep learning curve"] Wasn't Halo always an easy to get into fps? Casuals bought it along with the hardcore. So what's the problem?

Happy Easter, all that jazz.
PS: Dunno if the code has been posted yet.
Thanks! Went from SR89 to 96 with this and 1 match.
Easy to play, yet hard to master. That's what Halo used to be. 343i and Bungie decided to kill that.

Yea i think that model is the most fair for both gamers. Although i think this is an issue with the industry in general,look at the latest Gears of war for example.[well at least its a spinoff] I hope this new upcoming generation shakes things up and we get new game play and games have their own unique feel.
I actually don't consider anyone who posts here to be annoying... Well maybe one person while I was a junior, but I've forgotten who that was. Though wouldn't surprise me if I'm on a few people's 'shit list' because of how [negative/whatever else] I am at times haha.
When isn't it on repeat? :lol
I can't wait until some new things are revealed (new game/expansion/remake/whatever). From what I've seen, these threads seem at their best in those times.
That impact.
It was pretty unpredictable for a while now. Those times are the best.
Don't believe the false prophet Elzar.
It's not just the gaming industry it's society. I work with after school programs teaching kids sports and such. All the elementary schools up here have taken competitive games such as dodgeball out of their curriculum for fear that kids may have their feelings hurt because they aren't as good as some other children. Humans are competitive by nature. There is absolutely nothing wrong with fair, healthy competition.
no u
hmm how should I take this? :J But yeah remakes are always a risk, because of the different basegameplay and different sandbox

Holy shit I am watching the 343 GDC talk and am seriously shocked at the reasons that Josh thinks the Didact didnt work.
I read the books, I read the extended fiction, I dont feel like I missed a bit of the story - the Didact just wasn't that great in game.
Playing a game like Bioshock and then watching this post mortem on Halo's story is just shocking - they just don't get it.
The more I watch the more I take offence with.

Nah
I think it kind of depends on whether or not the newer games have added elements that make them play drastically different than the older versions. Something like Headlong, which I adore, was awful in the Breakneck variant because of the new gameplay additions. I wouldn't want to play Warlock in vanilla Halo 4 because I suspect it would play like crap with boltshots, camo, jetpack, vision, whatever.
But having said that, I like the idea of multiplayer as a content platform, where the content transfers from game to game, gets additions and compatibility fixes if needed, where it's more than just a rebuilt mode for every game. Treat those maps like Rock Band songs. I don't really care if the geometry and visuals are updated or not. We're in a weird computer simulation that mostly consists of white buildings and brown rocks anyway. It's probably an expensive thing to ask for, but I sure would enjoy it - if the next Halo came out and all of a sudden there were 60 maps playable in there, you would never have to focus on "filling in the gaps" in your map roster ever again.

This. I don't see why they couldn't just seamlessly integrate Sprint, even as far as the frames between Sprinting and switching to your weapons so it essentially becomes a nonissue. Hell, if they need ways to make it impactful, just bring back Halo 2's Melee system and have elevation-based radar. You don't show up at all crouched, you're only a dot walking, and you have your elevation broadcasted when you're sprinting.

Woah this would be terrible.
People wont want to have to be super careful to only hold the analogue at half tilt to avoid sprinting - this would be a nightmare to control in a fast paced shooter like Halo.
Unless you mean that sprinting doesnt take you into a different animation and instead is just a faster base movement speed. I would be all over that.
I've often considered developing an FPS and making the sprint button do a sprint animation but not actually make you go faster just to see if people are satisfied with that
The Brits already figured this out in a certain other game. Holding the stick all the way forward would put you into a sprint after about 2-3 seconds. You could still do fine movements when needed, but when you were obviously running somewhere then you'd switch into a sprint automatically.
The separate button to sprint is a holdover from everyone copying it from PC.
