YouTube kids making shitty, misleading videos in effort to get clicks and "make it big." I can't believe it, something like this would never happen.

found this on reddit.

Sandtrap ported into H2 with Grav hammer mod?
 
1) Grenade Launcher
2) Energy Sword
3) Gravity Gauntlet Phase Rifle Light Rifle

Actual Halo 5 leak. HaloGAF exclusive.

I'm burning it to a Blu Ray right now.

wtf is halysis doing in there :lol

To think, they're going with Halo Xbox One because someone accidentally typed it "Hako 5" and now they have to rename everything.

I saw a gif not long ago showing that she had some vageen infection thing. I was scrolling down and saw the close up and had to GTFO before it poisoned my mind forever.

It didn't work. She is nothing to me now. :(
Yeah that kinda ruined it for me as well she's hot but :/, how about Zöe Nixon instead then?

So, because its your video, means you should just paste your name on the images, when you already have a 2nd watermark on your entire video? And then you link to the album of images that contain the ones you edited? And who the hell cares if someone rips your video for the pictures? You didn't take them, you saw some guy posted it on reddit.Then we get to, how hard is it to just link to the reddit (that you claimed was deleted, when it wasn't), and to the original pictures? Or if anything, just save the pictures and repload them to Imgur.

http://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/1u9zq8/halo_5_image_leak_halo_new_beginnings_official/

The entire video is a obvious attempt to get as much views to yourself as possible.

You bring up some good points.

My usual watermark in the top right fades out when I show the pictures, because it looked really sloppy when I faded in to the image slideshow portion.

Not sure how the Imgur album is relevant, considering that it's only available from the description box of the video. I just checked, and they have only 95 views on Imgur. Super famous.

As for the Reddit thread, I didn't really put much thought into adding links to my description in the first place. I put together the Imgur album really quickly about an hour or so after I uploaded the video, and added it to the description. Bad oversight on my part, I will admit.

I wasn't trying to "get as much views". I didn't post the video anywhere other than to Twitter, and in my tweets I made sure to state that the pictures were claimed to be of a leak.

Now I want to play it:(

I know man. It would be interesting to see what Halo 2 would have become had Bungie been allowed to delay it 6 months to a year. It really seemed like the foundations to an epic epic game were there from everything I've always read and heard about it.

I think that is why Halo 4 kind of reminds me of it campaign wise. It has the foundations of a pretty damn epic game but just doesn't seem complete. Final boss fight anyone? Course I'm a Halo nut. I just really really love the universe that Bungie created. There is so much that can be explored in it.

HaloGaf is one of the most depressing places for me recently.

Because the running gag of Cortana being Dylan Ryder always comes up and that always reminds me that she retired.

One of my all time favorites </3

Bobbi Starr is settling down and having a kid

I have an open petition on Whitehouse.gov to federally declare her retirement a national day of mourning

Never heard of her before.

Interesting. More research is going to be needed on my part before making a decision one way or another.

EDIT: Savannah Stern has been a long-running favorite of mine. She or India Summer could be a decent Palmer IMO.
 
Lol, Halysis...

Wasn't that Wahrer's megapost about an alternative Halo style project?

It's since been canned and some of the ideas from it are being worked into a separate project which you guys should hear more about soon(TM).

Also, nowise having someone to halo e-commerce slap fight with is the greatest thing ever.

Halo: New Beginnings follows the events after Halo 4. Master Chief has left infinity to search for Halsey to bring back Cortana. on the way, he meets Mendicant Bias and he ends up being the new ai companion

so real

Yeah, should've been what Halo 3 was. Let that settle in for a minute..

I'm interested to see more footage of that single shot Halo 2 BR.
 
He simply said it existed and it might get slapped on the marketplace, didn't he?

I don't recall any "Halo 2 re release".

That would be kind of weird to just sell that piece without the Halo 2 game. It will be like a bonus on the extras section of Halo 2 for xbox one ; )
 
HaloGAF should make a new mythica if Halo 5 is good. I fucking loved Mythica.

never forget the ghost of lockout ;_;

I know you are not being serious but £300 for 120GB of storage and 1.6GB of bandwidth with 8p/GB after that 1.6gb is really great.

You could run something akin to what mythica was doing for about £500 a month I reckon.

That's less than half of what the owner was paying with much faster downloads for end users.

At this point its pretty stupid to continue to argue about this so Im just gonna say ,continue making videos, and if its good stuff, people will watch and subscribe. Watermarks are fine, I personally don't use one because I don't care, but its your video, if you want one add one. Just don't overdue the stupid stuff to attract people in and make that YT $$$.

lol. Well I did love mythica, and it would be cool to see something similar again, but way too much risk for me personally. even if the site were to be monetized, Halo's community has become way to small to even break even with hosting costs.

Absolutely.

However I could see a scenario where E-Gaming sponsors get 10-20 seconds ad's before videos load and can sell merch via a linked store. Other big names in Halo and Gaming could get in on the act and a small GAF like unintrusive ad banner at the top of the site.

Allow donations and something akin to a membership for early access to things like montages and/or higher quality. Custom titles and emotes etc.

An on site web player that allows 60fps.

If someone had the start up captial and the drive a site like that could do real well.
 
Cool is it really that simple, to get these game types to work in four or is there like complex stuff for it?

You mean the coding itself right? it has a large learning curve as you basically have to learn the language Megalo is based on and its specifics from zero so it's pretty complicated.
 
So I have no idea what Mythica is/was so I bing'd it really quickly and the only thing I could find was some failed MMORPG developed by a Microsoft-owned developer a while ago.

Is that what everyone is talking about?

I believe it was the pre-Youtube place to share your Halo clips.

Mythica was a upload site for Halo content. Back in the days when youtube was still kinda shitty. It never had a built in player just download (i think) but it was pretty awesome. Had a real sense of community about it and every one in the Halo scene used it. From HIH (High Impact Halo RIP) to the pro's

A dedicated game video upload site without the overbearing youtube censorship and with decent bitrate 60fps footage would be welcome these days.

Mythica was kind of the closest we got to that.

So, since I'm super super bored and I haven't played or talked about Halo with you people here in so long, who wants to play Reach? I'll be hosting a lobby for matchmaking and livestreaming it. My old hard drive with all my custom games stuff conked out forever ago, so if you guys want custom games you'll have to bring your own stuff.

My gamertag is: Ghazzarro

LET'S DO IT GUYS COMMUNITY GET TOGETHER?

I might join you after the Wild game. Only the third period left so maybe like 45 minutes to an hour from now?

And thanks for the explanation on Mythica guys. Sounds interesting.

It's something that I assumed for this sort of thing, as the lack of options gametype wise could only be supported via megalo.

So what made you start doing megalo + coding stuff?
 
I'm playing MLG Slayer, alone, get in here guys!

Ryan Suter, one of the best defenders in the league, just got the Minnesota Wild their first hat trick in almost four years and first defender hat trick in franchise history.

I cannot turn this game off early. This is a momentous occasion.

I think I first heard of modders figuring out Megalo because someone posted some links in the last OT, I think it was Karl or WMonkey dunno... I also remember reading a Megalo Q&A Fyrewulf made some time after Reach was released, it was really interesting.

I started by looking into matchmaking gametypes code, changing things here and there and trying to make sense out of it.

Bungie created an amazing tool and 343 actually improved and added very interesting things on top.

It's alright, it seems like you'll be the only person joining anyway...
