Halo: CE might make it to Summer Games Done Quick this year https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Aj2eKeMxVzzzdF84YW1UTzVKekt6VGRpQUFBQnpULWc&gid=3

Yup, exactly why I don't think she is fit for a leader position.
It would be interesting though if Palmer fucked up big time by being so quick to judge and actually thought about the shit she pulled.

yes he was way more chatty in the CE, remember the cutscenes on the control room.
Master Chief x Palmer is going to happen and you guys can't stop it.
"I thought you'd be taller" - Palmer's pick up line.
But seriously, 343 seems keen enough to forget the existing mythos and do their own new stuff. I wonder if they ever really hated what Bungie did with the storyline that forced them into a sort of reboot with 4.

Don't give them ideas thats the last thing we need is a corny romance sub plot.
At the very least I'm sure they're glad Bungie wasn't too explicit in their intention to have Forerunners literally be ancient humans.

He's a side character, yes, but there's obviously room for a spin-off starring the Arbiter, or a two-sided campaign again like Halo 2. Even though he was really in one game (Halo 3 only partially count), he's still one of the most iconic character of the franchise.

More like, "I thought you'd be bigger"
The reason you don't have a big sequence of logos during Halo 3's bootup is simple: Microsoft paid for that.

I guarantee that more people would rather play a spin-off featuring the Arbiter rather than Sarah Palmer.

Cue emotional bedside scene where Chief chokes out phrases like "medically neutered", "not my fault!" and "you said you love me girl".
Two 7 foot tall Spartans bangin, no bedroom could prepare for that.
I'll agree on this one for sure...
Semi-related to this: Am I the only only who doesn't think Jennifer Hale is the most amazing voice actress of our generation? I just find most of her performances too similar and her voice kind of grating. I hate playing as femshep because of her voice, and similarly dislike Palmer for that reason (among many others).
Nope. I don't like her that much either, though arguably part of this stems i've played too many games with her acting in them, i think "oh, Hale again", not the character she voices.
And drives to ravines.
That said, we don't get to play with Palmer driving a Warthog so we can't know for sure...

At least Kat had the decency to die before the game was over.
Love Triangle between Cortana, Palmer, and Chief. Mark my words.
oh god no I hope not
Let's throw Halsey in too.
If we do get Halo 2 MP, I hope they change how the power weapon spawning worked. (I'm referring to the behavior that if a power weapon was held by a player it would not respawn even if the player was holding a weapon with no ammo.) The change to having power weapons respawn was one of the best things re-introduced in Halo 3.
No love for Kat? I liked her character.
Even if she did run me over twice over the course of playing and replaying Reach.
Microsoft paid to not have an FBI warning? How does the FBI/copywrite statement thing work anyway?

Something tells me that SMG is compensation.
Does that picture seriously have a date on it? Seems so long ago since I saw a picture like that.
Oh yes, even 343i's aware of that.
Now the question is wether they'll actually stick with what they've been doing lately - using Palmer everywhere - or not.
A few days ago, I complained about Halo 2 Anniversary, but I would be fine with it if it included at least 3 new levels featuring the Arbiter as the player and the cast of the Infinity (Palmer, Laskey, Majestic) to introduce Halo 5 which would actually be centered only on Chief.
Would be a good way to put the Arbiter back in the games, and it would fit with Halo 2, obviously.
Well that's complex for you, do you want me to play with you? I fancy killing randoms with a carbine.
Sure but I'll mainly be on a Mongoose/in a vehicle.
What is with this anyway? It's like they use her more than Chief, and she's only a supporting character.
Mongoose + passenger = better than just mongoose.

At first I thought 343 just felt the idea was implausible, and then they create an advanced ancient human society anyway.
I still feel like the Forerunners are supposed to be humans. Everything post-Reach is just a different continuity.
I'm hoping we get options for all of this stuff. Halo 2 + Forge + Theatre + tons of new game options would be awesome.
That's fine passenger or gunner for me I'll be on in about 10 minutes.
While that would be awesome, I don't think Forge is likely. Remember, they've got to give customers a reason to buy Halo 5.
THEATRE IS A GREAT IDEA AND MUST BE IN THE GAME, though, I agree wholeheartedly, in case you couldn't tell.
Forge is a lock, I think. Only question with forge if it is just going to be H4's forge, or if it is going to be a new updated forge that I think they would have originally planned for H5's release at the end of the year. I wouldn't mind H4's forge, because I think most people would just play H2's map instead of full forge maps. However, letting us edit the H2's maps with some forge pieces would be great. I'd rather they just delay Forge 4.0 and release with Halo 5 to make sure to get everything on it worked out so features of it don't go missing like precision editing.
I'm not so confident for theater, though. I feel like it would be stupid for them to take it out, but maybe they think allocating the time used for theater towards something else would be smarter since Xbox One has its own recording stuff. As you know, though, XBO's "theater" doesn't let you fly around the map or anything like that...

I would like to see at least a basic Forge. Where you can add or delete boxes, walls, or something? Like in Halo 3 maybe? I do wish for a full on Forge mode tho.
I <3 Forge
I don't see that happening simply because it would take a gargantuan effort. And it wouldn't be worth it when the game is a mere remake. What I do hope is that they improve the UI revolving around everything but the Lobby screen. And hopefully they will improve the game type options to include things that were missing in Halo 2 (some of the weapon sets were very limiting IIRC).
Beyond that Halo 2 could use a couple of tweaks, honestly. Weapon starts, the noob combo (nerfing that is a definite must IMO), player spawns (hello Coagulation), power weapon spawning behavior (like I mentioned previously), weapon balance tweaks (how about no rocket lock-on on ground vehicles like in later games?), button combos, getting outside of the maps, etc.

Actually it seems MS is moving away from kinect in terms of games,they are focused on kinect for media stuff.
Hey now, don't leave SmartGlass out of this!
