Doesn't live streaming seem incredibly unlikely? Maybe it is just me.

Typically yes, they don't like to add take away bandwidth for the game, but if the dedicated servers are true then it's more plausible, but still not so much as the costs for dedicated servers + live streaming for 20million players would be crazy.

So... any news on a vidoc or something from 343i? I liked those from Bungie... they gave us a chance to see what they were thinking when they implemented/changed certain features.

This! I realise that there are some very passionate competitive players in here, but surely you have to put things into perspective. I personally hadn't even thought about spectator mode until witnessing spectator-gate on HaloGAF.

Yeah, pretty much. Although I would love if multiple people could view a video in Theater again like Halo 3 had. I'm still really hyped though. So hyped that my main concern is that 3 months is a long time :/
 
The first few loops of this GIF I thought it was from a movie where a giant monster attacks a city and these people were looking at it and panicking.

It seems extremely unlikely for consoles.

No, it does not. I could imagine, with twitch.tv comming to Xbox Live, that you are going to be able to stream directly from your Xbox.

It's not like it is impossible...

I kind of figured, but there are plenty here with that attitude. Sorry, wasn't meant to really be aimed at you.

I don't have a problem with that.

Like Duncan said, probably 98% don't care about a special feature. However, people here care, because they enjoy the competitive side of games.
 
The thing is, you can say the exact same thing about CoD.

However, TREYARCH FINDS A WAY.

Just sucks seeing the things Halo players have been asking for since 2 and 3 go untouched by 343/Bungie only to have it bigger and better in the upcoming CoD title.
Halo Fans consist of:
Campaign fans
Lore fans
Machinima fans and creator
Forger,
Speed runner
Co-Op guys
competitive fans

And they are definitely some I forgot. I do not think Call Of Duty has such a variety of communities. 343i has to satisfy them all.

Let me search CTF all day, 343, and you have a dedicated player.

It's a shame the Halo franchise isn't funded by such an affluent software conglomerate.

The entitlement in this thread is suffocating.

In my day, we had to walk 5 miles through the stroke-inducing heat of Texas (which lasts about 9 months) and fight the hungry, angry bobcat in front of Montgomery Ward so we could sift through the Atari and Intellivision games to pick the ones with the best cover art, or at least the titles we remembered from the back cover of a comic book. That was a game developer's marketing strategy, and we embraced it for what it was (never understood the whole bobcat fighting thing, but the point is I learned how to ride a bobcat at an early age).

Now you little bastards jump all over a developer when the gameplay pictures, videos, and opinions of regular and professional gamers who got to play a version of the game 4-5 months early isn't nearly enough for your goldfish-like brains.

I blame Jimmy Carter.

It's not as if streaming isn't becoming a massive part of pro player's presence. More people are getting their hands on capture cards and their own setups. Is it really in 343's interest to directly combat that market? Would any pro player use an in-game kit over their own unique one?

Spectator mode and the unlocked stuff is definitely an issue. I'm just strictly talking about the streaming thing.
 
Rage... building. Salt... rising.

But hey, we get 5 weeks of free DLC missions WITH cinematics.

Specializations? No, we'll talk more about those later. When's later? Later. Just to clarify, it won't be ANYTHING like Call of Duty's prestige system. You'll unlock specific weapon skins only if you presti... er, specialize. That's not like Call of Duty, right?

Oh, the actual gameplay? Don't worry about that, sillies. Have you seen the Forward Unto Dawn behind the scenes where every cast member is just so happy to be a part of this experience?

Oh, check out our pro gameplay where everyone uses the BR and Promethean Vision the WHOLE TIME! Tons of new info there... Is the BR a 4 or 5 shot kill? Hell, we don't even know. Can you crouch with the Hardlight Shield? Don't ask Kevin Franklin live during a video, no one on the development team even thought of such a boisterous idea.

How about a wrap up video where the pros just tell you what they think of the game, instead of us showing new things in the game. Is that cool with you guys?

How about our new console? It comes with built in Nokia Pay-As-You-Go cellphone sounds.

Yes, I'm being overly critical. However, there's an ounce of truth to this rant, even as good as 343 has been to us during the release of their game.

PS2 video game ads in comic books are the best. Er, WERE the best.

I vividly remember some ad with a goofy looking skeleton, never got that game.

We're old.

Dedicated servers are not a silver bullet some seem to be pitching them as, there can and will still be lag and networking disparities. All Sony first party games have dedicated servers yet there's still network issues in most games.

Totally fine to care and want things. I wouldn't mind a spectator and YouTube options. But when people start saying they aren't listening and demanding to know why their feature that "everyone" wants is when it gets ridiculous.

If there is anything decent that has come out of the recent headache inducing 'discussions', it's this.

This is fucking amazing. <3

It's probably way too late to implement this if it doesn't exist... maybe...

but they should bring back that 1 v 1 gametype from Halo 2, where you could have like 8 people in a game, but only 2 are on the map at any time. Once someone dies, another person spawns in.

Don't worry OddOne, i got this one. He was a full-fledged member at one point, but he was stupid and invoked the wrath of the mods so now he's perma-juniored. Hopefully it can be corrected.
 
At this rate plywood's going to have a higher post count than his bandwidth intake.

Just like 343 since they don't have a spectator mode, mirite?

Because it's cheaper? I mean, I know if I could stream from in game I would. A lot of the people who do stream aren't pros, and a lot of people who have a shitload of viewers aren't pros either.

(not arguing with you, just giving a different perspective)

Yes, but they do eliminate host advantage.

Yep, the salt-drenched few are truly the defenders and (not so) silent protectors of our community. Let us bow our heads for a moment in silent reflection.....
