Yeah people stop quoting him.

I bet he loves Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ugh

Ronaldo loves Ronaldo.

That's all that matters to him.

 

[Tunavi]

Ugh stop quoting him.

But I respect Kyle's opinions and they shouldn't go unheard

 

[Overdoziz]

Rolando loves Ronaldo.

 

[Hydranockz]

Rolando loves Ronaldo.

Haha, I was thinking the same.

 

[Stinkles]

If difficulty/number of enemies scale with co-op partners, holy shit.

Despite my apprehension about multiplayer, I am so excited for Halo 4 campaign!


WHAT

No.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Pretty well. Someone has pictures of it in the figures thread.

Damnn, I want. Now Im more excited for their Prometheus figures...and want Halo figures all the more.

I'm not arguing with the design of the Grunts per se. I'd say they look cool. My issue is they don't fit with what we've seen before. I think the best design should remain true to the spirit of the originals, even if there's a temptation to go crazy with the extra polys.

I'm not a fan of much of the design work we've seen for Halo 4 in a fictional context, but I think it's all fine art outside of the universe.

Exactly, I wish some of the elements remained a little more faithful to the original design.

So I updated the Xbox Live iOS app today and I found this:

Play demo!??!?!

SPILL DA BEANS FRANK.

Huh? Between that and the 'Play Trial' in the e3 video..

 

[senador]

Why would they have placeholder in an update for an existing app? Oh right, its MS.

 

[Trey]

Does Halo 4 have crayons? Plz yes.

Colored pencils, playa. Less mess to lock 30fps.

No.

I don't believe you. PM me the latest H4 build so I can confirm.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

DEMO CONFIRMED.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Oh nooooooooo!

Lol. People would complain if we never saw elites again just like ODST. It's amusing.

I know you're teasing, but 1/3rds in sounds like such a good balance between the old and the new. Anyone who doesn't want any Covies are fucking crazy. At the very least we need a nice transition.

Couldn't agree more... or could I?


I can't.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Personally, I was hoping we would be Covie free in Halo 4, with them making a (small) return in Halo 5. Even so, as long as the Prometheans are the new baddies Im happy.

 

[Gui_PT]

But I respect Kyle's opinions and they shouldn't go unheard

 

[Woorloog]

DEMO CONFIRMED.

I really doubt they would have done that "trial" pic and this "demo" pic just for laughs. I'm guessing we'll get demo closer to launch. Hopefully we do, i could play that for weeks...

 

[Fracas]

No.

No difficulty scaling or no demo?

Haha, dang it, quit saying no to posts that are talking about multiple things.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Holy shit, do not go into the "Bronycon" thread. I had no idea what it was until it was too late.

I like fighting gravity hammer monkeys. Well, the 3/ODST ones.

Y U so racist?

Spoiler

They are apes

Beta where they incorporate all my feedback into final build confirmed. Gonna be pissed if it doesn't happen and tear this place down.

 

[Slightly Live]

You encounter nothing but Covenant enemies for 1/3 of the game - up until the jungle level starts.


1. FUD - Covenant Wake Up Call
2. Landing - More Covies
3. Trek to Jungle/Infinity - New

So that's 2, maybe 3 levels of old enemies before the new ones show up.

Or so I think.

 

[FyreWulff]

The only thing that sucks about being a contractor.

Not being able to take your planned vacation because you had to push off completing a feature for another feature you wanted to complete.

Why would they have placeholder in an update for an existing app? Oh right, its MS.

They have those all the time..

 

[senador]

Then, midway through Halo 5 we only fight the hairy stupid Forerunners and in Halo 6, the smart mean ones are on our side. WTF 343?!

 

[NullPointer]

Question about Spartan Ops: Is there one objective to each mission? Any other options/customizations there for replays outside of custom loadouts?

For some reason I inferred that there could be different objectives when replaying. Something something mumbled by Frankie something something.

 

[Ryaaan14]

You joke now.

Gorillas.

You actually play half the campaign of Halo 5 as a misunderstood Promeathen Knight.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Ugh stop quoting him.

Dont be so jelly, you still get the most quoted posts.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Gorillas.

Psst, Gorillas are apes.

 

[Petrichor]

I used to agree, but now I'm thinking: the bigger the enemy sandbox, the better spartan ops will be.

Also it'll be interesting to see how old and new enemy types interact.

BRING THE FLOOD BACK FOR HALO 5 </unpopular opinion>

 

[Tha Robbertster]

So Holland is a pretty cool guy eh?

 

[NullPointer]

BRING THE FLOOD BACK FOR HALO 5 </unpopular opinion>

Hell yes. Even if only in Spartan Ops.

 

[Overdoziz]

Psst, Gorillas are apes.

I didn't say otherwise, now did I?

Dont be so jelly, you still get the most quoted posts.

You're part of the problem.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

So Holland is a pretty cool guy eh?

No.

Drink away your tears.

You still have a mathematical chance.

 

[TheOddOne]

So Holland is a pretty cool guy eh?

They sucked and deserved to lose.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

I didn't say otherwise, now did I?

Monkies.

Spoiler

I'm on to you Dutchy

 

[Ryaaan14]

I'm going to really be in the mood to play co-op campaign again on something tonight, but I know I'm going to just get fucked right up the tailpipe by terrible lag again.

I don't get why it's so bad all of the sudden. I never used to have this issue.

 

[Vire]

Isn't there supposed to be a Sparkcast this week?

What's the dealio.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Trains and black holes. o_0

 

[Tha Robbertster]

I really thought we had a chance when in the first 20 minutes. Then everything went to shit.

If I'm going to hear I didn't pass my exams tomorrow, I'm gonna lose my shit.

 

[Vire]

Trains and black holes. o_0

That would explain it.

 

[Tawpgun]

Already said they were still tuning weapons; Carbine and Storm Rifle were god-tier in the build that was played (said by Ellis).




lolkyle

But it worries me they were even considering making the BR only have 2 possible kills per clip.

Also, odst/3 hammer brutes were easy mode.

Their weakness is jumping over their heads.

 

[User 73706]

No.

So, there's a chance then?

You actually play half the campaign of Halo 5 as a misunderstood Promethean Knight.

:lol I look forward to the shitty Halo RPs and fan characters that use these new knights siding with humans for being "misunderstood" as a base.

 

[Devolution]

What the hell is the random interspersed drama goin' on?

 

[Woorloog]

What was really confusing about the demo was that the enemies were new to Chief and Cortana, but they were obviously already acquainted with the dude in the ball.

Which is why i'm guessing the E3 demo map is the 4th map.

1. FUD
2. Landing
3. Meeting the Cryptum
4. Meeting the Infinity

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Yeah people stop quoting him.

I bet he loves Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ugh

People who don't love Cristiano Ronaldo secretly wish they were Cristiano Ronaldo.

It's a fact.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

What was really confusing about the demo was that the enemies were new to Chief and Cortana, but they were obviously already acquainted with the dude in the ball.

I'm calling it now: In the second level, we see the covenant massing towards a structure where they think one of their gods resides. At the end of the level, we'll discover the a crypt (the flying ball) before the Covenant and it gets awakened/activated somehow.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Is it that confusing? I mean clearly they find it and get a clear idea of his intention.
Is that weird?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

What the hell is the random interspersed drama goin' on?

It's just Kyle poking the sleeping bear. Everything's ok. I don't think anyone is actually "mad," that or I'm completely clueless, which is entirely possible (likely).

 

[Plywood]

No.

This is the best opposite day ever.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

People who don't love Cristiano Ronaldo secretly wish they were Cristiano Ronaldo.

It's a fact.

Out. Now!

 

[senador]

Tried out the Xbox Live app. Kinda cool. Can navigate your Xbox from the app, including launching games. I fired up Reach from it, but once it loads, you have to use the controller. Probably not that handy for most things, but it'll be nice for Netflix since I'm usually already on my phone when Netflix is on. Its pretty cool to have them add features like this.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Seems kind of strange that his army just shows up randomly at some point in the game. Why wouldn't they be present when they first encounter spaceball man.

You do not know how they encounter him the first time.
