Halo |OT2| Hyper-Athletic Speed And Mass And Weight and Power
- Thread starter GhaleonEB
- Start date
Functionally, the two are the same with the time spent in the area reduced - people from each team are still going to flock to that location.
Even then, you're removing one of the previously vital skills, knowledge of the map. A good team should have the timers and locations on the map memorized and be able to completely destroy a bad team because of it. Why announcing it to the world is bad is an argument that's been done in here to death.
Like I said before and in the other thread, I'm not writing anything off until we get details, but this doesn't leave a good first impression.

Dani is as close as we have, which is totally awesome, but a HaloGaf one would be great too.

This doesnt seem real to me, but then again I thought jetpacks wasnt real.
- fuck this ____
- why the fuck is _____ in the game
- random glimpse of hope about halo 4
- random tashi ceiling joke
rinse and repeat.
I think what it is in this case is closer to X-Ray vision, and being able to see through walls, not necessarily having them show up on your radar. It's more like Blacklight Retribution (which y'all PC gamers should check out. F2P and fun.)

I'm pretty sure I'd pay good money for that
AT LEAST $1 a month
lol fuck that. Not on my watch hahaha
Jetpacks are a squirrel fart in the wind compared to this.
I'm really excited to see how AAs will be reimplemented, but the systems behind it are not agreeable with me.
And I just can't comprehend that X-Ray vision thing in gameplay.
Waiting for footage, though.

So, uh, the "news".
Holy crud. Just remake Isolation and Snowbound, add some more hilarity.
Snow Bound was a few decisions away from greatness. Like...shield doors and weapon placement.
edit: Thanks Frank
Unless you guys are making another version of the MP along side the CoD version, I'm not sure how any nerves could be soothed. Instant respawns alone are enough to completely ruin the game, even if everything else about it was perfect.

Holy shit. That is all. Will post more after I am caught up.

Yeah, makes her seem less artificial, which I think is a good thing.
So, about the story for the Multiplayer: I wonder if there's more to it than just VR training. I also wonder if the ship is gonna be the new Forge World..
Unbounded was not really any better than Snowbound.
They'd have to chop off about half that map to make it decent.
Probably the part that was underground.
And then some of it from the top part.
And then make a good map where those used to be instead.

Will we be able to use Forerunner Vision on Cortana?

Lol. Good luck. I'm sorry but I don't see any good things coming from these changes.
I don't suppose you can just directly say "this is fake", can you?
Although based on what you said, I take it that this "info" is not an outright fake.
Regardless, I eagerly await this podcast.

Can I keep your tears for the dry summer months for my potato harvest?
There are scans confirming most of the stuff, how could it be fake?

too late.
I still trust Frankie. I won't complain too much until I play it, but you (343i/Frankie) have to drop that podcast soon, so much damage done in the competitive and casual community online at the moment, wait until IGN and Kotaku get a hold of this, word of mouth a bitch and what you say later may be muffled and people are quick to judge (obviously)

My initial reaction to all of this was pretty bad, but I have since calmed down once I processed it all.
I still have faith in you guys. Don't let us down!
No, no it was not.
i'm pretty sure they are indeed going to have "pure" halo playlists in addition to these ones
A lot of the pages weren't shown, parts where whited out, maybe the text was shopped.
But mostly, a combination of wishful thinking and fear.

Good ole HaloGaf jumping to conclusions 
So, will this release as DLC for COD6 or as a stand-alone title? trolololol

So, then it would be just like Reach with 50 playlists, each with its own set of rules. I don't see it happening this time.

FUCK THAT. I'm sick of Halo's player base being fucking split between two completely separate playstyles. Just make the vanilla game good damn it! Don't try to cater to two completely different sets of people!
Remember Halo Reach and how we said "wait until we play it"? Halo Reach ended up sucking. Yeah, I'm not saying that this time around. It would take a miracle to make me happy about the direction 343 is taking Halo's multiplayer right now.

Just like Reach, right? :lol
Domino Theory
Crystal Dynamics
Right, but then we have to go back to Thermite's point where we have to worry about a) said playlists having a healthy population and b) making sure the maps are catered to core Halo (which would mean having separate maps instead of dumping a Halo of Duty map into real Halo and vice versa).
Your voices are nice and all, but good luck trying to make all of this sound good.
The only way you could possibly get people to stop worrying is if you outright announced that there will be separate playlists at launch for all the Reach 2.0/ArmorAbility/COD stuff and the normal Halo 2/3 style gameplay. But this solution is not ideal either, sigh.. I wanna jump into the main slayer playlist like in Halo 2 and 3 and play a fresh feeling Halo that is just plain fun and balanced and doesn't have horrible stuff that goes against the fundamentals.

The final nail in the coffin. If you guys are going to wholeheartedly rip off COD at least make it 60fps like those games.
