Destiny's first song is out!

 

[Nowise10]

Whens the panel start?

 

[Fuchsdh]

that's at comiccon

also don't mock me for getting details confused this afternoon - I had to take over someone else talking points at the last minute. So I couldn't rehearse and it is a ton of info.

Frankie: Master of Halo Hype

Whens the panel start?

1pm CST I believe. (Texas is CST right?)

 

[TheOddOne]

There is a panel today. What. Damn, am going to have to do a write-up.

Why am I complaining. I love it.

 

[The Henery]

Whens the panel start?

Now

 

[Fuchsdh]

Cue da music.

Also nice avatar Henery.

Destiny's first song is out!

That's... funky. A bit too fake sounding for me in terms of instrumentals (I'm flashing back to Myst), but it definitely has a more fantasy aspect and definitely distinguishes itself from his Halo music or what I've heard of his earlier work.

 

[Diablohead]

Can we please have the pro pipe back for halo 5, I love that weapon as it's fun to use, relies on some skill to work out the shot and sounds bass as fuck.

Its just a calm peaceful work, nothing intense. Really good.

That being said, I'm pumped for his music that gets you pumped and excited.

60 fps pro pipe reload animation will be yummy.

Also nice avatar Henery

Cute aint it, saw it earlier today on an image board, don't know where it's from, some poker game I think.

No. It alienates fans because it's too hard to use. The grenades would bounce everywhere and the fact that it had two firing modes is just too confusing for the average call of duty player

:lol

I'd love to see it back. I didn't like the sticky det all that much... wasn't as satisfying. Would be great if 343i brought it back in H5.

 

[Mix]

Lol at the guys sitting up there. I asked Frankie f there was going to be MP in Halo 3, said no. People are filling in. I'm in 4 th row. Follow me on twitter for picture If you can't watch @mixmasterchlef

q: will future halo titles render graphics at a framerate that neatly divides or multiplies into the refresh rate of a standard hd display

 

[Steelyuhas]

Still hasn't started?

Nvm

Literally just did

 

[The Henery]

Steve Young sounds like he wants to die.

 

[daedalius]

Twitch is busted for me.

Also live event player from youtube on their site is also broken. Live event is over!

Bullseye mappack announced on accident, I said it was new lol

 

[Nowise10]

Bullseye mappack announced on accident, I said it was new lol

Is that what he said?

I couldnt tell if he said he worked on past map packs, or if he said im working on a mappack.

 

[Steelyuhas]

I couldnt tell if he said he worked on past map packs, or if he said im working on a mappack.

Yeah he definitely said that.

Yup, that and legendary rumble, most likely legendary slayer lol

 

[Steelyuhas]

lol we're still not ready to talk about the infamous legendary slayer

 

[Rev3rb]

Bullseye mappack announced on accident, I said it was new lol

Ask him if I can play on the new maps splitscreen without killing myself due to the framerate.

 

[FyreWulff]

lol we're still not ready to talk about the infamous legendary slayer

It's in the same category as the new Reach Beta Playlist

 

[Rickenslacker]

The Pit with sprint? That'll work.

DLC Mark V helmet as well.

 

[Omni]

New map pack? Lol?

 

[The Henery]

THE PIT

 

[Homeboyd]

The pit

Sweet

 

[Madness]

So a new map pack was announced?

Edit: Oh man, MK V helmet is back! It's like they actually listened to what fans wanted.

 

[TheOddOne]

The PIT.




YES.

 

[Diablohead]

TWITCH YOU ARE SO BAD!

 

[daedalius]

So they don't show the video when its playing on the youtube stream, amazing.

 

[Steelyuhas]

2 maps lol

 

[Rickenslacker]

ODST, Mark V, and SNES Star Fox polygon armours.

Weapon bling pack.

 

[TheOddOne]

Mark V!

 

[dragonelite]

jezus fuck the stream for not switching to the trailer.

 

[Fracas]

Do I get the map pack with my season pass? Because I definitely should.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Mark V and ODST armor. 343i heard everyone here who said they would pay for the classic armor lol.

(Verisimilitude looks pretty decent too.)

 

[wwm0nkey]

Steampunk weapons

 

[Diablohead]

Am I missing out on awesome?

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Spoiler

[Omni]

2 new maps (including The PIT) and MK V armour! Well fucking done, 343i. I'm going down to the store right now to buy the game again. Brilliant!

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Thanks.

 

[Nowise10]

Interested on how the weapon skins and armor will be updated into the maps, as I always though it was impossible, or atleast really hard to put in new sources into maps.

 

[The Henery]

This map worryingly reminding me of Abandon.

 

[Overdoziz]

Am I missing out on awesome?

Summary:
Jetpack+Sprint on The Pit
Grifball re-released for extra money
Map with a cheap kill switch
Mark V armor which was present in nearly all Halo games can now be bought with $$$
Tashi's got a boner

 

[Havok]

Certain Affinity devs constantly talking about how well their maps score in focus testing is still kind of gross.

Pitfall is good news, I don't know that Vertigo looks like a winner yet. Mark V looked funky in the screenshot. The real question is whether or not they integrated the MLG changes directly into the map geometry, because without those changes...eh.

I was hoping that new gametype was Assault.

Oh. Pitfall has random ordnance. So dynamic.

 

[Garrett 2U]

Why aren't they showing the gameplay lol?
Oh Twitch stream is, YouTube isn't...
