51 minutes until either bliss or disappointment.

HaloGAF will melt down either way.

Don't worry, we'll find something to get really excited about, then bitch.

My bet is it'll be like knowing that you're having steak for dinner but then finding out it's only Salisbury. I mean, it's still steak and tastes good, right? But aren't we better than Salisbury?

We deserve some macaroni 'n cheese too.

Awesome MM update, the only playlist I care about is gone.

Anyone know if Anniversary maps are in Evolved BTB?

They're optional, but as far as anyone knows, Anniversary BTB Slayer wasn't moved over. The playlists page on Waypoint still shows old playlists. So no Timberlands at all anymore, and Headlong / Hang Em High are only going to be in Anniversary Classic.

Which would mean even after the consolidation, you STILL can't play Halo 1 gametypes in matchmaking on Blood Gulch. What was the fucking point of patching the Halo 1 Pistol into non-Anniversary maps, I'll never know.

Pretty sure either way the "HUGE" news is going to cause meltdown. It will either be actual real news and 1/2 of GAF will find it game breaking... or it will be minor news. My best guess is that they are talking about a very large new map or vehicle. As in it is "literally huge".

WHOA. Just hit me.

Angel said in last week's bulletin that this week's bulletin will be about specializations.

We're getting multiplayer information tonight. Bulletin comes out tomorrow. Tonight's IGN news is going to be specialization details. Makes total sense.

A quick breakdown of how I view some of the greatest leaps/standard-making features for console gaming:

  • Halo 1: Revolutioned fps controls and created competitive gaming on the console
  • Halo 2: Unparalleled online features with the creation of extensive Custom Game features and Matchmaking (virtual couch with friends) that even today many games can't compete with
  • Halo 3: Theater mode and simplified map editor Forge
  • Modern Warfare: Progression system and ingame rewards system
  • Gears of War: Horde Mode
  • BOps 2: Evolving the fps genre by making competitive gaming mainstream on the console

What big, industry-changing features do you think Halo 4 will have? The closest thing I think is Spartan Ops and how they're handling the content being released. I see many other companies adopting this same format as it relates to the narrative of their games.
Spartan Ops is a game changer, all these companies are fighting for your time and money, Spartan Ops is a big deal when it comes to this.

As of what we've heard, nothing imo. Free weekly DLC is cool but I don't think that's something that's groundbreaking.
Disagree. The fact it includes cinematics and will tie together with the campaign storyline - and extend it further into the future books and Halo 5 is pretty damn awesome. If handled correctly, it is essentially a 4 player, co-op extension of the Halo 4 storyline. That to me is pretty innovative because as others have mentioned - it will give players a reason to keep playing Halo 4 (beyond Wargames (MP)).

I'm pretty pumped about it.

Spartan Ops is just a bunch of co-op missions, though. The mode itself isn't that special, just the way it's delivered to the players.
I can also seeing it being abused in the feature with developers (or publishers) holding back content only to release it later so people stick around.
