Well, we haven't seen Promethean Rooks yet. I have a feeling they're going to be even worse than Hunters.

Knights, according to Wu are "Hunter-strong up close, but satisfying to take down".
Yeah...beaten again.
Shadow dropped fbombs confirmed
There is something so satisfying about a needler super combine kill. Even with the needle rifle. It seems like one of the more original weapons in the sandbox.
I dropped zero curse words of any kind.
i'll hop on if room
Same.

I thought I read somewhere that there are 7 Promethean enemy classes. We have seen 3 different enemies. Then variation within each class.

Wow, I need this now. I'll be so disappointed if the real boxart doesn't look just like this (or if the game doesn't exist).

They only said that despite is not working like they'd want it to, it took an extraordinary amount of time and resources to make even that functionality work, and apparently Bungie's data showed next to no-one used it.
Xbox Infinity (Let's be honest, that's the name)
When I read the other night that the Grenade Launcher was OP, I'd thought I'd heard all there was to hear about Halo. Then I read this.
I'm a mod and I'm rowdy. Come play.

Clips didn't work well, full games worked fine.
And if clips is your imagined reason for them removing party theater, why didn't they just fix it or remove clip party viewing? No, instead they removed party viewing for the 6 kids who wanted campaign rewind and clips...
First you need to fusion dance.

Really? What about colour-coded covenant species indicating their rank?
Get a grip.
I said this in the opening sentences of my post
Campaign rewinding and clips had nothing to do with networking difficulties. Look up how game films work. The state data for clips being big and prone to failure is a quote straight from Achronos.
The reason full game films worked reliably is that the film was able to start from a zero-state (everything is as it appears in Forge) and replay the various inputs to make the film proceed forward. Film clips basically required sending a shitton of memory values to 3 other players as a big package of data so their box could replicate the current game state as it existed at the beginning of the clip so that it could actually show the clip. They never quoted exact sizes but imagine uploading a 10MB game state to 3 other clients at 130kb/sec . Nope.jpg
It seems the easiest thing for them to do was simply limit the Theater lobby to 1 person within the UI framework they had.
I didn't imagine jack shit, I'm working off quotes from both Achronos and Luke Smith, who worked on or worked with the people directly that worked on Halo 3 and Reach. They didn't just fix it because they budgeted their time and money on more important features. For the record, here's Luke Smith's post about it on GAF. I can't find the Achronos one because it was either on a Bungie.net group (unsearchable) or Optimatch (unreachable)

Anyone gonna be on in like 30?
I can be.
Prepare to be disappoint. Although that fake box looks rad. Apart from the 2.
Someone better tell Kotaku/The Examiner that you might've just confirmed or denied H2 Anni.
Careful with that one guys.
There are like 13.5 possible ways to interpret that.
Cryptic.
lolwut.
No Halo 2 Anniversary, then? Thank you based Frankie.

inb4 why isn't there multiplayer in H2 Anniversary question.
No, there is no way they do multiplayer if they do a H2A. I don't think they will or should do one though.
Who actually thinks that they'd make a Halo 2 multiplayer component?
They didn't do it for CEA, they won't do it for a possible H2A.
Although I hope they've learned from the CEA multiplayer that you really need to integrate it into the main game. At the least, let people with the Anniversary to search for games in the main lists.

Your imagining is the part that you think party theater was removed because of clips.
It was removed because when they added rewind to campaign and firefight it didn't work.
So, if they couldn't fix clips, why didn't they just prevent clips in party instead of removing the whole damn thing?

Nope, only for Chrome.
not sure if denying h2a, or saying the boxart is different for the game.jpg
