[Tashi]

Dat skybox!

 

[TS x Massacre]

Yeah the environment is awesome. And god I love dat BR

I'll post screen caps in a bit. Watching now!

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I like this map so far.

Those are Ghosts, sigh.

 

[Akai__]

David is there going to be some Waypoint stuff about RTX? I mean some actual gameplay. I can't watch right now, I'm on my mobile phone outside.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

IT'S A GHOST NOT A BANSHEE YOU MORON

What do you expect. That's Daface he's a Gears player/commentator.

Edit: Nevermind, it's not, but it sounds a lot like him.

Much appreciated!!

 

[Gui_PT]

What are the blue markers on the hog? Driver seat, passenger seat and so on?

 

[Steelyuhas]

BANSHEES

 

[TS x Massacre]

Guys, there's too many fucking banshees on Longbow :3

 

[Aggrotek]

2 BANSHEES!

 

[Tashi]

This running on PC? Lolzz

 

[Franklinator]

So that game was a 5 vs 5 game. Is that the default for Infinity Slayer?

 

[CyReN]

Guys vs Girls, this isn't going to end up being sexist and about how bad one of the parties may be..

 

[kylej]

These maps don't look like maps built for gameplay first, they look like places in Halo fiction. Less elaborate space stations with switches and fancy doors and structures, more abstract locations like Lockout, Midship and The Pit that play well.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

Seems like the BR is a 4-shot kill here. That would be some good news.

 

[TS x Massacre]

Dat blonde with the tramp stamp

Seems like the BR is a 4-shot kill here. That would be some good news.

That's what I thought, when he hit him perfectly. That would be fucking nice!

 

[ElzarTheBam]

That's a BTB map right? 5 v 5 seemed to be quite good in terms of the encounters on that map.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

He meant to say ghosts i have no idea how people are still getting confused at this point.

Longbow and Halo4 look incredible

 

[Havok]

Getting flashbacks to the Ubisoft Shootmania demo in their press conference. That was embarrassing.

 

[Nando13]

Can anyone confirm this?

 

[Tashi]

Inb4 Devo rant

 

[ElRenoRaven]

So after seeing that match I have to say It actually looks like halo gameplay wise. I've finally been won over on the multiplayer gameplay. Still hate the Warthog design though. Don't see that changing if it keeps that design. Grenades actually seemed like a throwback to Halo 1 in the distance you could throw them. All the physics looks to be a throw back to the older games too which I like. Overalll I'm actually somewhat excited now.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Inb4 Devo rant

Devo would mop the floor is she was there.

 

[Striker]

So more like the Halo 2/3 friends list than the active roster?

H3 used the guide.

 

[dangerbyrnes]

Can anyone confirm this?

same as E3 build. it was 5 shot at E3, so no.

 

[Bornstellar]

its fundamental. And oddly prescient.

Book loves this word too bloody much.

It's good though.

 

[Franklinator]

That's a BTB map right? 5 v 5 seemed to be quite good in terms of the encounters on that map.

I agree, 5 v 5 seemed to work well. I'm curious if the Infinity Slayer playlist will be a 5 v 5 playlist, or if they had 5 players on each team just for this custom game.

 

[Steelyuhas]

So that game was a 5 vs 5 game. Is that the default for Infinity Slayer?

Considering that Haven and Adrift are the small maps in the game, and objective is already 5v5 default, I think they should just do it for Slayer as well.

I agree, 5 v 5 seemed to work well. I'm curious if the Infinity Slayer playlist will be a 5 v 5 playlist, or they just had 5 players on each team just for this custom game.

Don't think there will be dedicated Infinity Slayer playlist personally.

 

[Tashi]

Yea I'm sure you'd want her to do the dishes too right you sexist pig?

 

[Devolution]

Wait what, what am I not following here.

 

[Aggrotek]

Looks like so much fun. I am so jelly.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Stalker a Sexist. Confirmed. lol

 

[Vire]

Screen Caps of Longbow, sorry in advance for the suspect quality, stream was set to 720p.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Longbow is sexxxxyyyyyyy

Menu Screen

So I like some of it and am uneasy with other bits.. it does looks particularly eye catching which is nice,

That 17 year old literally looks 10.

Poor kid lol.


He'll probably get shit on lol

I swear, I probably looked the same..maybe not as bad, but I have always looked young for my age.

It's the E3 build.

Damn! And here I was happy cause I though the new skybox still had the very purty space bits. =(

Welp, had to come down off the Forge high somehow. :_\

I love you.

It would certainly make the people who complained about Squad Slayer shut up, haha.

Why not? It's the game type they've been promoting the most, and the only one they've shown as far as I know.

 

[Stinkles]

Frankie, please finish what BSAngel started and tell me the technical name for the lighting system.

Single Probe Spherical Harmonic lighting system.

 

[zap]

H3 used the guide.

Yeah, I know, but similar concepts (other than the guide is ridiculously slow... How can the 360 not handle a fraking menu?)

 

[Tha Robbertster]

God I hope the medals look better in the final build.

 

[thezerofire]

how are you guys watching this? the only thing on my stream is the halo 4 logo

 

[Hypertrooper]

They are on a break. Team changing etc.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Is she is in the baking mood a cake would not go amiss.

Spoiler

don't hurt me plz devo

 

[zap]

Thanks Vire!

 

[Computron]

Single Probe Spherical Harmonic lighting system.

Thank you.

Not sure if you can answer this, but:
Do the artists/forgers place the probes manually as they do in, say CryEngine 2/3 or is the a sparse grid of them automatically placed around the map?

 

[Spawnling]

How many games is this running for?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

They're between games cause they're switching up the teams.
