I am sure Halo 2 anniversary/HD/Arcade/Mappack is something they are seriously considering, but they probably wont make any decisions regarding that until a little fater Halo 4 launches. It should happen IMO, but how is the issue that I don't have an answer for.
I really wonder how they planned on using this in the commercial..its implications are pretty awesome.
I love this one also, despite MC looking chubby
Description:
That sounds pretty awesome, but I don't think the suit would have held up visually...Or maybe it would have looked better in less of a close up. My issue with it is that the edges have a soft look to them, the armor have more of a light plastic than a hard cutting edge 1000lb future suit. The visor also suffers from a similar issue, and the paint app once again looks just a tad off. It probably was a time constraint thing, but I thing it looks very awkward in the trailer when we see MC up close, especially after everything else looked so good. I wonder why they didn't just use CG for him or just the in-game part which looks amazing.
Pretty awesome concept art.

Been preferring good connection all day. Every game has been stuffed with Americans. Nobody in Europe plays Reach anymore! Everyone's an eight shot kill with this latency.

Probably not the best time to drop this nugget of campaign discussion because it'll get lost in the Bulletin discussion, but here it goes.
I'm playing The Covenant and I'm at the end of the brief flying section. Normally what I do following that at the third tower is lay waste to the Brute chieftain and his soldiers from the safety of the Hornet. I had been doing this for as long as I can remember.
I didn't do it this time. If you let the Brutes stand, and land the Hornet at one of the sides, what used to be a stroll to the entrance becomes a grueling, bloody fight for every inch of advancement. Elite and Marine AI fighting along side you, tiptoeing around the chieftain's fuel rod, and trying to make use of whatever advantages you have from below. At one point I had managed to kill the Brute chieftain by luring it into a certain spot and have one Hornet in the sky kill it off with its machine gun.
Many deaths were had. I can't wait to repeat this experience during my Heroic run in the fall.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Not a Waypoint thing per se. Live was down for a bit and there are dependencies between our servers and theirs. Unfortunate, but we're working through it.
Also, set your hype meters appropriately. It's very cool, but not mindblowing.

No it is not gone. It is up!
I am talking about the bulletin.
Edit.: Btw new video! Halo 4 E3 2012 Multiplayer Wrap-Up.

I figured given the Live issues mentioned earlier. Just giving Waypoint some grief; it won't let me log on at all on my wife's laptop, even when it's running.

Shit. these spartan ops location. SHIIITTT. Everytime I hear, see more about Spartan Ops. I am getting hyped more and more and more. It is going to be awesome hopefully.
Staring at the Team Objective banner in the lobby. It has 216 people playing right now. This is what non-MLG objective Halo has become. Sad. Can someone please legitimately hire juices to work on this shit, I'm so, so tired of incompetent playlist management. Its been years of the same terrible garbage, drives me crazy to see playlists atrophy and watch friends abandon the game for greener pastures while the people in charge move at a snail's pace.

100% Agree.
Is there a chance we might get a volcano (whatever that SPOPS missions is from) themed MP map. Would be a nice.

So amazing. So amazing! Seriously! Look at that shit! Especially the first two! I cannot wait to check out these location in Singleplayer.

At first glance I thought that SpOps location was a new blood gulch remake, lol. Man am I digging that art style, so sexy.

Was this referring to the content in the Bulletin or something separate?

Yes. Yes. Come to me, Spartan Ops.
The only thing that's slightly disappointing is that it seems like it's repurposed art assets from the single-player.
Still looks nice I suppose...
To be fair, judging that population on a weekday morning in the game's largest territory is always going to be a sad story. Last night it had about 800, which isnt great, but not terrible.
My favorite combination is Damage Boost + anything else. Why wouldn't I be praying for that to be in my drop over a shotgun and needler?
I think I'll probably and up being very skeptical about this until its proven that this isn't just going down the Regenerator, Power Drain, and Armor Lock hole of recent games just giving players easy kills or invincibility for no reason.
So Infinity sounds not soo bad, but won't be my new home I think. Nice to have more information about new stuff.
The Spartan Ops locations are damn beautiful.
No playlist update is disappointing I understand that everybody is working on Halo4, but damn.. let Juice do it !
And Super Jackpot in MLG ? In a really good playlist? can this be true?
So RTX can come

It's cool that they explained why instead of pretending like nothing was wrong but why is Reach compromised constantly for Halo 4? As in, there should be a dedicated Reach team (even if that team is made up of one...) not guys that split their time between two games. Can it honestly be that a company as rich as MS cannot find the resources for a small team to keep the current Halo in shape?

"It is an additional-but-vital mode, with new weapons, vehicles"
Vehicles in Infinity Slayer. Interesting
Also, nice to see MLG getting the jackpot.
That Elephant looking thing, is there a chance that the desert looking environment could be the home to a massive, desert BTB map with that new vehicle in.
Let it be so!

You're looking at some locations purpose built for Spartan Ops.
