Oh shit, I hadn't even thought that it would probably be the new model.
Then it actually gets interesting.

Only 3.99!

A warthog reveal from Halo 5 in Forza 5 would be cool. Similar to what they did with Halo 4 and Forza 4. Although I think it still wouldn't be drivable.

Special cup and track for warthogs, exploding halo ring or back of a ship

Only 3.99!

Would never buy that (don't even like racing games), but it would be the first news since E3.
I'm that desperate.

FFS guys. You could have at least gotten half points if you'd named the Bradbury novella. Do they not teach Macbeth anymore? Basic cultural literacy...

That some kind of new McDonalds food or something?

New hog look again would be disappointing. I like it how it is in H4.

I like to think that the armour in Halo 4 expresses how the artist was feeling on the day. I can only assume that their dog died the day that they designed this one. Diagnosed with dementia when designing Commando.

And we're back to woodchipper status. GAF. Full circle. Halo.

Oh, come on. The armor designs in 4 are fucking atrocious. I thought we had a consensus on this. I would imagine the only person this might offend are the artists that designed those specific models, and even that I would find hard to believe.

You do realize Bungie created the butt-ugly GUNGNIR armor in the first place, right? 343 actually made it look less horrible.

You mean they made it much less distinct—I know that I wouldn't be able to pick it out of a lineup. I don't know that Reach Gungnir was intentionally made to be goofy (it very well may have been), but I do know it looks better than 50% of the shit in 4.

Art is subjective, etc.

It bugs the shit out of me when someone says "You're not a TRUE Halo fan unless you like all the games, for better or for worse."

I think being a true Halo fan is knowing what made the games good, and being upset that they're not like that anymore.

They should go back to full armor, this half-nekked, no crotch protection, skinny body hybrid is fugly.

Come on. He is right though. As if the normal halo crowd is interested in seeing a car in forza.

So you don't have to be sassy.

The design of the UNSC vehicles is fine with me. I just hope that we get better sounds for them this time around. The mongoose sounds like a moped and the warthog sounds like a go-kart that hasn't been taken care of for years, in Halo 4.

Comic book wankery, story, novels, yoda, helmet discussion. Literally been pictures of cartoons for days.

One thing 343 can't do with Halo 5 is shoehorn a load of redundant weapons and 3x scopes just to justify a weapon unlock system. Lean, weapon sandbox centred around a skill based precision weapon please.

Last installment to Kilo-Five comes out January 24th

Wars end. But hatred, guilt, and devotion can endure beyond the grave.

With the Covenant War over, the Office of Naval Intelligence faces old grievances rising again to threaten Earth. The angry, bitter colonies, still with scores to settle from the insurrection put on hold for thirty years, now want justice -- and so does a man whose life was torn apart by ONI when his daughter was abducted for the SPARTAN-II program. Black ops squad Kilo-Five find their loyalties tested beyond breaking point when the father of their Spartan comrade, still searching for the truth about her disappearance, prepares to glass Earth's cities to get an answer. How far will Kilo-Five go to stop him? And will he be able to live with the truth when he finds it? The painful answer lies with a man long dead, and a conscience that still survives in the most unlikely, undiscovered place.

I actually liked the sound of the warthog in Halo 4. Sure it wasn't on par with Bungie's but it was still pretty good in it's own right.

Ive played that game until I unlocked everything within a year of its release and watched YouTube vids of modders showing all the armor within the second day.

I already know meng. If you can tell im only joking. Not serious about the post. And that helmet was/is still the butt ugliest of all helms.

It is halo stuff though and we can't discuss for the 100th tine how shitty Halo 4 and Reach are and how to fix them.

I don't really like how the new Warthog looks but I love the green on it. The green color on the Reach Warthog looked awful. Looked really washed out. The Halo 4 one on the other hand is really nice.

This. We talk about everything Halo related, it's not like 343 doesn't know what we want in Halo 5 by now.

I'd love to be a broken record and repeat the same discussions over and over, which we do anyway lol, but it's also fine IMO that we talk about this other stuff between discussions on the CE Pistol.

B]

That being said, thoughts on a BR that has a RRR of a 3x weapon, but with a 2x scope like the Light Rifle? Make it a map pickup, tighter spread, hitscan and a faster 4sk, in a sandbox with AR/Pistol starts.

Spoiler

Two people will respond and we'll be back to talking about Halo Rangers: Megazord Evolved.

Disappointment.

 

[Fuchsdh]

The difference being that both the AR and pistol were worthless in Halo 3. I'd be fine with AR+pistol starts in Halo 4 because it's the most effective AR in the series and the pistol is te most useful we've seen since CE (I would probably have dropped the STK by one or added 2 more bullets though.)

The design for the mongoose is just a reskin of the Reach one from what I understand, but the others are pretty well designed, IMO. I really miss the Falcon though. Fun times in Reach BTB with that one.

Finally, the Halo universe returns to the beginning that was to deal with the insurrectionist dudes.

We need more humans threatening or making alliance with the covenant remains to go against humanity.

I barely remember what happened in Thursday War. Fire up another Greg Bear trilogy.

1.- Elites can eat a Brute alive
2.- Forerunner structures are revealed to be safe houses (lol)
3.- Black Box is too human to be a IA
4.- "Spartans 4 are hot"
5.- Skirmishers are alive
6.- The arbiter is UNSC's pet

Officially retiring that old MLG controller I've been using. Got a pretty functional normal 360 controller now. MLG was great but that right bumper being broken really made things too frustrating. The issues with the sticks was annoying as hell too. Was a tank for the first year but then just kinda fell apart. Oh well.

Yeah seriously lol, AR/Pistol starts in Halo 3 were terribad. No idea why that was even brought up..

I agree though with Halo 4. AR/Pistol starts would've been okay if they gave the Pistol 12 shots and lowered it to a 4sk. I still would change it from being hitscan and having a lot of aim assist, but that would be best saved for dedicated servers. Let's start from there, AR/Pistol starts, then:

Rifles:

• BR with traits I suggested earlier (hitscan, RRR of a 3x but with 2x zoom, feels like LAN H2 BR).
• Light Rifle with a 3x scope (no hitscan, burst mode = 3sk, zoom = 4sk but shoots faster).
• I don't see the DMR being removed, so I guess it could be changed to only appear on large maps.
• Halo 3 Beta Carbine with slight slow down effect akin to CE PR/PP.

Automatics:

• Plasma Rifle returns with plasma stun.
• ODST SMG (scope, better accuracy when shot in bursts).

Misc:

• Scattershot changed to function like Unreal's Flak Cannon.
• Reach Beta Plasma Launcher for anti vehicle.
• Missile Pod that has 3 shots and you can manually control each shot like Unreal's Redeemer/Strangelove.
• Grenade Launcher returns, also replacing the Sticky Detonator (Hold RT for Grenade Launcher traits, Press RT for remote activation like Sticky Detonator (press again to detonate))

Vehicles:

• H3 Warthog, Mongoose, CE Tank, Falcon that isn't paper mache
• H2 Banshee, H2 Wraith w/ turret, H4 Ghost
• Chopper
• Two new Forerunner vehicles that look like this:
  

  

  

• And this badass to replace the Mantis, controlled in first person:
