In all seriousness, there is a grenade in Thor Dark World that manipulates gravity, sucking everything in before exploding, and it is an effect I have always wanted to see in Halo given its physics driven nature.

There was a similar "Black Hole" Equipment item in Halo 3 that was tested before they realized it was too intensive on system resources to dynamically pull in all of those objects. We got the Power Drain as a replacement.

I've thought about them just taking models of Spartans/characters/whatever and rigging them to be placed in whatever scene they need and just using that but I didn't think of whoever they hired just drawing over it. Seems kind of...a cop-out? I guess?
Spartans can probably be simplified for comic purposes. Hell, The Babysitter in Halo: Legends simplified a lot of stuff but it still came off as presenting the world well enough.
A good artist can put out good, simplified art without sacrificing the integrity of their designs.
Not that Halo comics need to have the absolute best art ever, but they spoiled us with the art from Halo Blood Line and ever since the effort values seem to be decreasing at a steady pace.
Oh wow, is Amirox really banned? Or DrinkyCrow banned? Why this time?
There was going to be one in Halo 3 but it messed up the online badly.
Bungee tried it so do it 343!
Can't. We're locked into the Spider Grenade from the DaddyLongLegs thread in the OT. It's a tightly packed ball of spiders that sticks to other players and then swarms them with thousands of biting arachnids that get into all the seams of your armor and consume you from inside out until you do a full skeleton collapse like from Super Ghouls N Ghosts.
It kills the player it sticks to and all the other players in the game cry and hide behind stuff.

I vaguely recall this being talked about. Did they ever release footage of it? It would have been really cool to see in action.
Please make this happen in a terrifying gag real. :lol
Hell, they can be nano promethean spiders.
That would be awesome, but like others already said was tested in Halo 3 and got scrapped.
Also Stinkles, how many sleeps till some Halo goodness?

Compromise, Gravity Spiders.

Gravity Spiders, fuck yeah.
Best solution is to constantly expose yourself to heights. The fear makes it more thrilling.
They are awesome.
Though if I had a ball of them hit me I would be relatively uncomfortable.

oh wow I didn't know he got banned. Mind you he was on a pretty intense crusade.
Only got scrapped due to networking. Halo 5 has dedicated servers so it should work....maybe
Really? I would have guessed it would mess a lot of stuff up like performance in fps or would cause serious bugs.
Don't remember anything about it anymore.
Would be cool to get something like this (as long as we can't spawn with it in MM)
I followed most of the debacle, heck I gave MS tons of shit for their policies, but no one can deny the Sony love gaming side gives. Any slightly positive Sony information is roundly praised as the end of MS, any slightly negative Xbox One information is also roundly praised as the end of MS.
What they can't see is, the consumer gaming population at large, had kind of ignored or not paid attention to this console war, both consoles are selling like hotcakes and they are both breaking sales records for their brands. Look at some of the posts, "I kind of wished the gap between PS4 and Xbox One sales were bigger", it's like why?
Anecdotally, I'd say probably 60% of my friends list and friends this gen have already bought Xbox One's. I'm not denying the crazy hype and sales of the PS4, it's a cheaper and yet more powerful console. But the Xbox One is far from being a debacle, and I'm pretty sure by the time TitanFall releases, most won't even remember the DRM, always online or other hated policies.
Besides, it's a month from launch. This gen will drag on for years. As an aside, I'd really like to know just many of HaloGAF have next gen consoles already. Anyways, I know, another classic Madness tl;dr post. It's exactly one year to the day since I joined this place, so that means exactly 1 year of most of my posts being scrolled over.

I may be up for it once I finish a few things if you're still on and need players.
I do enjoy the thrill of being high up the tallest thing I've been on it the top of the monument in london. Rollercoaster's is just awful motion sickness, that's to do with developmental stuff that you can't fix.
Gravity spiders fired from reach's grenade launcher would be awesome.
Obviously I am a defacto shill but I agree with this. As a gamer it's kind of sad to see people get wrapped up in corporatism instead of voting with their likes. The PS4 has plenty to offer, as does the Xbox One - so it SHOULD be competitive - and the fact that they have fairly distinct differences makes it exciting in a way, like we haven't seen since Mega Drive/SNES (in my opinion - and ignoring briefly the Saturn and PSOne). But it's embarrassing to see people do things like dogpile on Xbox One for not currently having 3D Blu Ray playback, but defend that exact same fact on the PS4. At that point it's like party politics/sports team irrationality.
But one thing I do enjoy about console wars is the tradition of previously obscure technical facts suddenly being all-important, and the equally old tradition of PC Gamers popping in to point out that $100 PCs from 1978 already had that feature.
I can't think of another entertainment sphere that has this level of rinse, repeat cycles of people and product politics.
And Titanfall is going to be a beast. That timing... traditional drought period being filled with an ice cold bucket of delicious system seller. There are very few games that can generate that kind of hype based soley on apparent (and experiential) gameplay. Like, usually it's graphics or something, but Titanfall (and on a sleeper - oooh I forgot about that basis) Sunset Overdrive just. look. fun.

I really want to draw a spider wearing eight gravity gauntlets now.
I agree with both of you that the behaviour is stupid and silly, especially these double standards, but what we can't forget is that at the beginning of the last gen it was the other way around.
Sony was in deep trouble at getting positive replies, eventhough it seemed their only problem was a expensive console (with an Blu-Ray player) and a launch drought of games (the new consoles IMO also have no good games for now) and now it is MS, even though the problems of the Xbox One that were really upsetting (DRM etc) are removed, now their are piling up on almost every tiny problem.
Both consoles will find their place and will be successfull and will get awesome games, like last gen.
Wii U will suffer, unlike last gen.

I have a Wii U and I don't feel this sentiment. The opposite actually, the console has me hyped for 2014, and has already delivered for 2013. Sure it may not sell like hotcakes like the 3DS or Wii, but the system already has a pretty awesome lineup and some really cool looking stuff coming along the way. That's all I really give a shit about at the end of the day. If there's games, then I p(l)ay.
I'll probably pick up a Xbox One over the summer or something for some shooter trifecta with Halo, Destiny and TitanFall. Then I'll pick up a PS4 when some good exclusives start to hit in a few years. Until then I play most of my multiplats on PC.
It's a great time for games.

Does anyone know if there is anyway to get Halo 3 forge maps and custom gametypes downloaded still?
It was pre-rendered, but I figured the actual game would keep the same style.
It's like Crackdown, Jet Set Radio and 80s 2000AD comics had a three way baby.

Same, super crazy hyped for that one.
I don't think so it was gone after Bungie switched it off so to speak. I'm not sure though I last checked after the transfer to 343 happened.
As for console discussion I'm not to fussed which is better technology wise, I'd rather wait for games I'm interested in before buying one.

Funny how COD have a plenty of show the enemy in radar via bombs,perks and killstreaks yet you can use a single perk to negate those effects.
Honestly, I still haven't made my console choice. I go back and forth everyday on which console is right for me. Of course both consoles would be ideal, but it's not really possible for me. At the moment I am leaning towards an Xbox One. I like the feel of it over the PS4, and it's got Titanfall and Halo. Yet I still don't know if those franchises are worth $100 and less power.
I just wish 343 would show some Halo shit as that will most definitely influence my choice.

He's the only reason I'm not in here bitching about Mexico on a more consistent basis. Which is probably a good thing.
Maybe you didn't read the public-facing material they put out regarding the original DRM, but I did and it was disgusting. Certainly deserving of boycott.
