HaloBall is the worst of all the mini-game gametypes. Even 2fort is better.
HOW DARE YOU!
I still liked it but really sad how much fun Reach's mini-games were and then we go to Halo 4 where...yeah...
Bring back unlimited respawn Tower of Power.
Yes!
So many hours playing that and the good version of zombies.
(Next zombie mode needs a "carry box mechanic" where you have to defend your team mates holding a box and slowly build defenses like on Foundation. Building defenses was like half the fun of zombie mode for me.

wtf man, haloball was a key gametype for mini-games maker, add options like invisible goals, force players into vehicles and biped appearance and BOOM!
I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
I know that you and Frankie were planning to attempt to have fun with a Halo game, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.

That would actually be made with Megalo and some forge magic, just think of invasion's object spawning.
You could have predefined boundaries where building barricades would be allowed, then you hold the button action like when capturing bases on dominion and the gametype would proceed to spawn the object you labeled as inf_barricade.
How did he even get off Reach? Thought Halsey's escort (Jun) died saving her in that pointless re-release of The Fall of Reach that was only done because Bungie even fucked up their own cannon. Then you also have the fact the PoA was the only thing to get out of there.
Barricades need a health system though.
And it would make machinima even easier because you could have a "live" cam. Doubt the HUD would be that customizable but even just toggles would be nice.
As for the HUD itself going back to something simple and less intrusive a la Halo 1 and 2 would be great.
Also Frankie was definitely right: I haven't missed having my secondary silhouette visible at all.

Nice find, this is interesting.
Blue team, Jun, and all other previously mentioned Spartans to team up in Halo 5?

I have. It's a minor annoyance that only comes up occasionally, but it's still an annoyance. I guess cutting it helped declutter the HUD a bit, but I'd rather have it displayed than not. But really, it doesn't matter all that much. It's probably rock bottom on my list of complaints about Halo 4's UI.

This "checking for downloadable content data" issue is really annoying. Back to animal crossing..
Oh damn

H1 - Camo/Stickies on Hang 'Em High (long fuse time mixed with H1 grenade physics made it exciting)
H1 - Hog Wars on Blood Gulch (fun vehicles physics, everyone Camo, splatters/melees only)
H2 - HALOween (Player who is Michael Myers plays the Halloween music through the headset, when the player is near you proximity voice kicks in and you hear the Halloween music, two lives, no attacking Michael Myers, SHIT. GETS. CRAZY.)
My three favorite Halo minigames.

Well it wasn't really their own canon. They created Halo, not novelists hired by Microsoft to cash in on the success. As superb as Nylund's book was, I'm sure Bungie wanted to come up with their own story and make gameplay around it, which they did. In the end, the games supersede the novel.
This is an issue I feel Star Wars fans are going to be upset in a year or two as well when Episode VII releases and clashes with years of established expanded universe lore.
Halo 4 redeemed!

No, the bodyguard was confirmed not to be Jun by 343, and I believe that particular Spartan was retconned into Sheila and killed by the Elite from the Halo Legends piece, The Package.
Palmer has her comic book series coming out soon (maybe the first issue landed) and I guess that's where they got this particular information from. Nice to see Jun in the newer stuff, even if he allowed the cardboard travesty that is Palmer into the Spartans. EDIT: This guy's speculation makes the most sense given current material.
"Commander Palmer went on to be instrumental in the recovery of the Master Chief..."
What kind of BS is that? Instrumental in what? Chief tracked down and located Infinity, he announced he was alive and then went and showed up at their door where all she said was a passive aggressive insult.
Then, after he helps defend Infinity, they leave him behind to fight the Didact. Instrumental in his recovery my ass.

History's written by the victors. Don't you see? They want us to hate Palmer. The pomp and circumstance of the UNSC is getting to be too much and Chief's ultimately going to desert (both figuratively and literally if the trailer's any indication), resulting in a Remnant ragtag bunch of misfits fueled by Chief, Arbiter, Shipmaster, and the ODST's attempting to rescue Halsey so they can fight for galactic control against the Neo UNSC and Osman.
Or not, you know. We could just be killing Gears of War Covenant and more blockbuster Promethean Ghost Riders in Halo 5.
I approve of this lol
Seriously though if it was the first one fine but you know its not lol
not much on this planet compares to the amazingness that is 32 vs. 32 instant respawn ctf_2fort
bless tf2
So I just received an accidental re-delivery from Amazon for Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Super Mario 3D Land. This was after I refused shipment because my 2-day prime delivery took more like 10 days as well as the games being cheaper locally. Well Amazon already returned the money for those games to my bank account weeks ago and I got this new package was delivered today... checked my bank account online and I was not recharged. I am never this lucky, it feels like my Birthday!

Played the first couple missions of Halo Wars. Seems fun so far. Would have played so much better with mouse and keyboard though.
Looks like Windows XP

Jun surviving is like Johnson living after halo 1, a story you will never hear about again.
Well, frankly that's fine. You can't tell every story, and sometimes the answers you get (cough cough First Strike) are less interesting than the ones fans come up with.
If that is an ARG of any kind, I give them mad props for staging it this way. A deep cover Youtube channel that's been innocuously doing something useful for years before it pops? That's kind of awesome.
:lol
They're so terrible.
Except Johnson was actually interesting. Jun was arguably the worst character in Reach, IMO.

My only issue with the above discussion is: if you are trying to remove clutter from the HUD, why would you get rid of the secondary weapon display? Why not the grenade indicators? Or shrink the radar and make it less elaborate. Or get rid of the
WHITE TEXT +10
in the middle of the screen. Getting rid of the secondary weapon was such a bizarre decision to make given all the other crazy shit going on in the end product.
I was going to make a montage with just clips of Franklinator and I getting into a Warthog together and immediately getting destroyed. It would be 250 clips that each lasted less than 4 seconds.
Not so fast. The one thing that Jun took away from Reach was that every Spartan he had ever known died horribly. He probably considered giving Palmer entry into the Spartan IV program as doing us a favor. She just beat the odds.
I saw Kat. And I'd agree that she was bad, right up until the elevator ride (before she gets shot). For a moment there she was likable.
Emile was pretty badass, not too bad.
Holland? Does that even count? He was in the game for like a minute and we only ever heard his voice.
Was Dot anything more than a construct to connect the plot together? I can't remember. Never really thought of it as a character as such.
Of course this is just my opinion, blah blah blah.

Outside "Mendoza" which is a spain name, Im intrigued they are know Tlaxcala.
