Tashi's hiring is real? Goddamn, big congratulations dude. I wish you nothing but the best and hope you're able to get in there and help make a great game.

I hope Tashi mentioned the MLG bonus in his resume, if not, I'm asking myself who the hell checks the resumes at Microsoft or 343i and how he even got the job then.
Time to move to CSGO everyone

There's also ranks and shit.

Global Battle gets me excited everytime!
Heh:

Oh, and uh...enemy boarding was done in Reach. Though not on hunters. I'm not sure if I like that though. Seems too easy comparatively. I like hunters being super scary and hard to take down.

That's cool if they got tashi. There has been people that left 343 and some that came as new. I know they have a new guy from blizzard that did the rank system. Some artist left for new ones too right? And the story guy from bioshock is there. Lets see what happens.
^^^Whoa, I didn't hear about the bioshock story dude.
Well look at it this way, you are a random to them.

More like the Dr. Heckfu "Milk the cow" guilt machine is real. That, or he filled out some sketchy prescriptions without asking too many awkward questions...
They had it for $40 not too long ago.

Microsoft are scraping the bottom of the barrel hard, that's for sure.
Off-topic but I just now realized your Avatar is Sol Badguy, GG Xrd is going to be so good.
Yea it was from a Halo tournament. Sorry, I should have said that earlier. It was a 2v2 Halo 4 tournament to be exact.

Happy about animated cutscenes too. Not sure if its just for the Arcade openings of the characters but im excited either way!
For those who have not seen the newest footage of Guilty Gear, its fucking insane what they are pulling off.

So how would people feel if they updated halo 2 multiplayer to add more medals and switch the multi kill medals around?
What about If they added a new weapon to the sandbox or did some balance tweaks like sword ammo?
I just watched a Halo 2 montage by phurion and one thing that popped into my head was how they updated the visuals but kept the old geometry of the previous bsp so that you could clip into textures or float above them. I hope if they retexture MP maps they map them to the old BSP pixel for pixel.

I would say no to the bolded. A few things that people had issues with back then like sword ammo could be fixed if done right, but I thinking changing the sandbox up too much could be really detrimental to that.
New medals? Okay
New weapons? NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Now what would also be acceptable
-New game modes (Zombies, Firefight, brand new mode)
-Return of Clans and Clan matches
-Theater and Forge
Out there things that would be acceptable (for me) that will never happen in ANY Halo game.
- Clan warfare mode, pick from Forerunner, Human, Covenant and form a clan and battle over a massive land mass (or Halo) to win an ongoing war.

How about we let Halo be Halo and Planetside 2 can be Planetside 2?

What about new maps. I don't think I could handle if they ported the good h3 maps back to h2
If they can manage it, I would really appreciate Theatre and campaign scoring being in Halo 2 Anniversary. Both do not affect gameplay and are as optional as you can get, but both would be great additions.
EDIT: I'd be cool with some H3 maps in 2 anniversary, like Guardian, Valhalla, Epitaph, etc.

Spectator mode is the dream
I was thinking more ChromeHounds like rather than real time like Planetside 2
*lime I said though, never gonna happen.
It'd be nice if you could actually tell what the medals are this time.
White blobs weren't a real good idea for them in the original game.
Oh yes, I forgot:
Spectator mode, via something like smart glass or even a dedicated iOS/Android/WP8 app.
That'd be pretty cool. Say I can't play with a bunch of friends because I'm on a plane or whatever, so I just pull up my laptop (because WP8 apps work on W8 desktop) or my iphone and watch them play.
In-game too though.
What do you mean exactly?
You were talking about using apps for speciating. Just saying it needs to also be in-game.
Oh, duh, I see. How would you do implement that then?
I just ask because I'm still working on a UI mockup for a future Halo game like we were doing earlier and thought I might include that. Like, what menus would it be under and stuff.
Would just be another "team" you would have Red, Blue and spectator. In a FFA match you would see everyone but spectators would be in their own bracket.
I guess I'm asking more how you get into the spectator thing. Like, say once you're in the matchmaking lobby, what do you select to be a spectator and not a player? Where is the option to do that on the screen? Just trying to visualize it.
Remember when your team promised a halo community book and took everyone's money and STILL haven't followed through almost two years later? at least Tashi follows through and doesn't scam people out of money.
and yes, i know yall send out updates but seriously. the book was promised forever ago and money was due even before that. get your own shit together.

You want to accuse me of scamming people? You had better back up that claim instead of using the hiring of your brown nosing buddy to hide behind.
Had you bothered to read the updates you would have realised we've been increasing the scope of community involvement and content. We've been working on the book this entire time and final product will show it.
Yeah, real poor form trying to use that. Pathetic.
i paid money to a kickstarter for a book. that was a long time ago.
i have not received the book by the promised time.
i still am out of the money i donated.

my calendar is broken, can someone help me determine what today's date is and when the book was promised or anything else for that matter
