First, Congrats to 343 for announcing the release date. It must feel great.

Second, bulletin interview was hilarious. Kiki is funny. Frankie is......

Third, I cannot wait for the show tonight. I will definitely be watching it live.

Lastly, HaloGAF logo poll starts in a few hours so submit your logo design if you were planning on it.

I might have a redesigned logo real soon. And don't worry, it's for reals this time.
 

Oh shit!

Fireworks baby!

Sexy sniper scope.

Seems pretty clear its the jet pack to me. Is it not?

Ok seriously, wtf is that? I really hope it isn't the jetpack, it looks awkward as fuck on the armor. I hope the jetpack has a more integrated and interesting design than this.


not going to lie, they could have choosen a better looking map to showcase the game with.. or at least some more interesting environments on the map. The game clearly looks better than Reach, but on this map its hard to notice.

Also, those helmets look awkward from the side.. The proportions make em look like toys or something.

Maybe... because... you know they do not move.

Fyrewulff! PMs. Check them.

I meant to, I won't be able to update the doc until tommorrow. I'm staring down the barrel of a deadline and am only posting when my code is uploading. I'm also waiting for people to answer PMs I've sent them myself so I can move forward on other things.

No worries. I thought your inbox was fuk'd.

They're not the default helmets are they? They look terrible.

I'm assuming they are. New look to launch a new trilogy? I'm not a huge fan of them, but I'll be changing mine right away.
 
I still kinda wish they showcased more interesting parts of the map with the RvB video.. if I weren't following this game I wouldn't know there was much visual improvement.

Hey, my toys move.

The helmets, shoulder pads and chest pieces are hideous. Sexy gauntlets, though.

Eh, I think they all look decent from the front, but strange from the sides. Just a weirdly bulky combination for starting armor.

As long as I don't need too many spartan points (still sounds stupid) to buy my EVA then there's no problem here!

that reminds me, our precious EVA better not have that goofy reach "chin". return to the glory of halo 3 EVA please.

Ok, already not huge on the RvB usage of the default armor.

It's leagues better than Noble 6, but srsly...at least give us the choice of the 3 most basic Halo sets: Noble 6, Mk VI, MK V...

I'm an absolute EVA slut and I approve of the Reach model.

The bulkiness effect from sides seems to stem from the pieces on the back sticking out so far it seems. Makes things look thicker to me.

Yikes, the Spartan 4 armor doesn't look too great when you're looking at it for more than 2 seconds. I'll be changing mine immediately too.

its nice to see that you can, at the very least, get rid of the white stripes. unless of course, thats just the place for the secondary color and RvB just made it match the primary... sure hope there is more to customization this time out.

That only some of the undersuit is black while the rest is the player color is really bothering me for some reason.

I can't stop staring at it.

Just wanted to say that I really, really love the look of whatever armors they're using in the RvB videos, absolutely love the look and aesthetic. I really like the graphics and design of the game.

BioShock Infinite &#8211; October 16
Assassin's Creed III &#8211; October 30
Halo 4 &#8211; November 6

I'm set for this year on the retail front.

Thank God Borderlands 2 comes out in September, hopefully I can mostly wrap that up by late October.

Everybody else seems to dislike the armor but I think it looks nice. Everything looks really good in the videos, to me at least. I wish they would have shown a different map than the first one, though, as it's really hard to tell if the colors are going to be brighter, like halo 3, rather than darker and gloomier, like reach.

I am very tempted to upload a revealing segment of bsangel on my retired podcast. And by very tempted I mean I'm editing and uploading now.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but consider me intrigued.
