And to think, two hours ago I asked myself why I was even on HaloGAF this late.

Oh man, there are so many things you could do with that video. If any I had the editing skills required

Huh. I remember seeing stories about it then it kinda just dropped off the face of the earth.
Cool premise (individual micro destruction) but the gameplay was just AWFUL. Would be amazing if Battlefield could get that level of destruction though.

Bad Company 3 on the Xbox 720 is gonna be rad, then.
At this point I doubt this is a real leak. Why would you want to do it in a shitty way like this? Seems to me like this is viral marketing.

fracas, ask him why he's so intent on getting his account activated.
Because it's effin' hilarious.

I asked, he says it's just because he wants to post.

Tell him to just respond through twitter or somethin'. We're all reading, after all.
It's not just that, Standoff was not designed for 16 players. As mentioned, I believe by you, the map became a massive turtle fest for objectives when you had over twelve players. It was an unholy mess. Then you already add in the map's personal issues without the upped player count, half the map being used, terrible spawns (which were hit hard in lots of maps, so this isn't one case), and the Warthog/Laser bullshit. Both too powerful for their own good. Once a team captured those things, it was over for the opposing team.
Unless they reduce melee strength, melee is going to be a big mess, again. We should be having at least 75% melee strength in the standard Halo 3/Reach base, but it seems like they went unchanged. Can't wait to do it, add the cherry on top of two players trading deaths with the OP melee.

HaloGAF doesn't negotiate with leakers?
Why do you say that?

Yep
If I had to guess, I'd possibly say this is all b-roll footage we'll get at E3 that he got his hands on
Of course I have no proof
He's avoiding everything I ask him about gameplay
Ask him if there is something we currently do not know about in the game that was in the build he tried and or watched.

Well the obvious question is: WERE YOU IN A DAMN BARN

This is the other guy that was mentioned in the video.
I wonder what his interests include.

we play 2 vs 2 on every weekend since long time until we are sick of the normal maps, so could anyone lead me to some great maps for 2 vs 2 "small maps"

I like how he sent the video to all the media outlets.
This is going to EXPLODE tomorrow morning...
Honestly, I'm not going to rant, but that's not a bad thing per se. Perks aren't bad, it's just how they're implemented. I don't see why so many people are anti-Perks -- it's all about balance.
Frankie said that maps have predefined loadouts that make sense for each map. Again, until I play it (or see someone actually explaining the implementation) and I'm no worried.
Sorry, nerd rant over.

So apparently we can expect his story behind the leak in the upcoming week before E3, and I saw somewhere else just now that there are apparently more leaks in the upcoming hours.

from twitter:
"The DMR is so good I used it as my main weapon. One/two shot kills with a headshot, which is not hard to pull off unscoped"

That video was just surreal. Why is the TV on the floor? Why is it all recorded onto a VHS? Why can't this guy keep the camera straight? What's with all the pausing and zooming and out? WHAT IS WITH THAT MUSIC?
I can hardly wrap my brain around it.
But, uh, looks like Halo with sprint. I'm in.

OH LORD ABANDON SHIP
It's only what those of us hear without our heads in the clouds have been saying for months.
Didn't we already go through this phase after GI details came out?
I think most of us have tried to block it out in our minds after Reach made us forget what Halo was. Just keep an empty brain until a few months from now, then draw conclusions. Maybe 343 will listen to the vocal minority and give us a true Halo 3 successor.
lol :_(
Clearly on janitor duty.
elaborate on that, how do you know

I dunno how to feel. On the one hand, it could work, and I should reserve judgment...
On the other hand: Halo is dead.
Very, very confusing. :lol

Oh my god, I'm laughing so hard at that video.
Not so hard at those twitter comments :/

If he has been reading us at all, he knows we don't want it to turn into CoD, so he will post 'details' about the game to troll us - I mean he stood in a barn for 15minutes (not including the set up time etc) filming a crappy SDTV with a cellphone camera just for some 'lolz' - why would you trust him for any impressions?
We know for a fact that the DMR is not a 2-shot-kill weapon, we are worried it will be too similar to CoD, so naturally he will tell us that to get us to freak out (like last time).
E3 isn't far away. I know I prefer Frankie's explanations

That was my thought as well. But quite frankly, from that gameplay, I see the similarities.
Ask him if he could post a timestamped picture of him playing the build? I dunno.

Don't think we're getting anything official until E3.
I highly doubt Frankie's even going to comment on this.
yeah
