So anyway, as i mentioned earlier, countdown skirmish is hilariously broken. We managed to to spawn trap the blue team besides the air vents. Below is a segment of that match (in crappy cam fashion), this continued till the end pretty much.

The same thing happened in the next match on boardwalk as well!

Countdown skirmish broken gameplay.

I am the person who makes this video perfect.

I still would've preferred a commentary though.

 

[Mister Negative]

This is addictive.

We really gotta get his face on that "chief waking up" gif.

 

[Gui_PT]

Frankie, just take the barn leaked video to E3 and show it to everyone. After that have a Q&A session and you're good to go.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Just trying to wrap my head around all of this? All of the tweets from last night, the NDA, and the stuff from haloforum are all fake right?

MTW may or may not be making stuff up, but I do believe some of the things he showed were real, such as weapon select which mentioned Storm Rifle. This is why:

As for the other things..its anyones guess. Skid may not like giving the attention to others and thats why he is calling fake. Who knows. All I do know is I am entertained, and am kinda hoping we get at least something else, small or not.

Ha, also you should be able to watch the video on your mobile device now.

 

[Mister Negative]

So Frankie, I'm desperately hoping it's not too late in the dev cycle for a barn multiplayer symbol to be added.

So you are saying that because of the name of a grunt, the weapon is real? Where is my Zealot Launcher, my Ultra Kicker or the bed crawler?

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

That grunt is holding a plasma pistol too.

this .gif is mindfucking me

Got the rest of the frames? In video form perhaps. I can't figure out how he recovers from the slide and squeezes into the two cars while facing forward

You're reaching kylej levels of hyperbole, but on the not-negative side.

 

[Fracas]

Frankie pls
I don't think anyone here believes that what that dude said was hard fact.

edit: I think the storm rifle is real as well. Hardly a megaton or anything that important though

Frankie's sitting behind his computer, watching the civil war rage, at a loss for words.

The leak is real, the screenshot looked legit and the name is consistent with previous descriptions Frankie has given us, as well as the grunt name.

 

[Hypertrooper]

But... is it not negative to say that? If I reached kylej levels of hyperbole, that's negative right?

We do not know. The source of the leak says that the MTW guy is telling bs. Do you have any proof?

haha wow thanks

great video

 

[Blue Ninja]

Your level of positivity is positively negative.

 

[CyReN]

Is this the first confirmation they've moved passed the alpha from Spring Showcase to the beta?

 

[TCKaos]

Has anyone seen this? This is hilarious.

 

[Karl2177]

I didn't say it was positive, just not negative. You're hyperbole is very neutral.

 

[Hypertrooper]

It sounds that it could be annoying after a while.

 

[blamite]

Has anyone seen this? This is hilarious.

Wow, that's pretty great. I think that was originally going to be a skull but it got cut at some point? Guess at least part of it is still left on the game somehow.

 

[feel]

I think she really means to say she preferred Betamax over VHS without double-entendre.

Has anyone seen this? This is hilarious.

Sounds better than the Halo 4 BR.

Don't jump to conclusions.

Eh. I think he is trolling, however neither parties are reliable. However the description given is consistent with what we know, so it's got some credibility in my mind. Also the UI looks consistent with the other stuff we have seen.

 

[CyReN]

Don't jump to conclusions.

Now I kinda wanna watch Office Space.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I see there is a water thread on the gaming side. Excellent.

Haha excellent choice of song!

Yeah, I might keep your song recommendation for another time.

Like that poor guy on boardwalk.

Don't jump to conclusions.

What really gets me everytime is the 'loose one turn.'

Well, that and 'go wild!'

 

[GhaleonEB]

I've always had a hard time distinguishing "go wild" with "???".

You don't like having 10 slayer playlists and no dedicated race one?

Everybody quits out, it takes forever, and I just want my jackpot dagnabbit.

 

[Franklinator]

Hey I like rocket hog race

 

[Hydranockz]

Hey I like rocket hog race

I like you.

That may be but it has no place in a playlist with normal gametypes.

 

[Mister Negative]

Stick it in action sack with the rest of the mindlessly fun stuff.

Just got my jackpot as I typed this out.

Eff yeah.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Ban these fools

I give my (nintendo) seal of approval.

 

[Fracas]

Put Infection, Grifball, and Rocket Hog Race into Action Sack

BBC UNSC Halo Report Fail.

We need a 314 Industries Seal of Approval for that.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

BBS UNSC Halo Report Fail.

XD

THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING.

Should be BBC btw!

 

[Ryaaan14]

Ugh. I remember when Action Sack used to be good. Run For Cover on Zeus, Team Sumo, Pit of Joy. WTF happened? I could play Run For Cover all day.

Terrible

 

[The Henery]

It's a lot less consistent in asynch multiplayer, it seems. I think it all depends on when the host saw it, and they probably have some leeway in there to account for packet loss/ping time. For me, it always seems like vs multi it feels like I sometimes get an entire two bonus seconds to keep the kills going (in laggier games). It's probably not that long.

Firefight is very unforgiving due to lockstep. Your own box is determining if you get kills and such so there's no leeway from latency.

Glad to know I wasn't just imagining things.
