[Steelyuhas]

I am doing a live demo. Campaign. It could go sooooo wrong.

Invincibility on confirmed.

 

[Stinkles]

Invincibility on confirmed.

even then...

 

[CyReN]

Guessing it's the more polished version that was shown at the NFL draft right?

Also for those wondering about time, it's 8am EST.

 

[lybertyboy]

even then...

Just make sure your controller is either plugged in or has fresh batteries.

Please reconnect controller.

[Poker Face]

Meh, Complex looks a bit too open if you ask me. Not sure how that would play out against good players in matchmaking.

What's complex?

"YOU SAID INVINCIBILITY WAS ON!"

"Oops."

Thats pretty cool.

Aww, that's fantastic news. Sad that I can't make it, but life tends to get in the way of these things. PAX next year? I hope.

Speaking of which, I should get rid of these two Saturday tickets...

 

[Ramirez]

Explain Complex prz.

Eurogamer are saving the video, your mistakes will be archived and viewable by the masses.

No pressure


I might actually avoid watching, even watching the first 10 minutes of a game kind of takes the immersion away when I finally play it myself. - Hyped for the MP stuff which will come from the showfloor, hyped to play the game. I will be circling that Halo line non-stop, hopefully I manage to fit in a bunch of games.

EDIT: Are Hypertrooper and Overdiziz seeing something that we aint?

 

[Overdoziz]

What's complex?

Sand-themed map.

EDIT: Are Hypertrooper and Overdiziz seeing something that we aint?

I have no idea what Hyper is talking about, Bibs.

 

[darthbob]

Sand-themed map.

i c wat u did thar

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Sand-themed map.

Where are you seeing this?

I think im being dense and missing a joke somewhere.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Wired all the way man!

 

[DeadNames]

Complex? If you rearrange the letters, it clearly translates into Valhalla.

DeadNames: spelling master.

 

[Ramirez]

Posting stuff without explanation should result in bans, so annoying.

 

[Tashi]

what is going on

Shut the fuck up, Dax

 

[G17]

I hope the live demo is on Legendary difficulty with invincibility on. I'm excited to find out what kinds of crazy things the Prometheans can do on legendary. We probably won't find out any time soon but I can hope.

 

[BackdoorBeauty]

Flying Spartans with dnr's and nades are lethal and much more annoying than flying ants

Map design also goes out of the window.

Kind of a persistent reminder that you're playing a game with poor design choices. See: Armor lock.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Did Frank ever say which game the remake map was from? I think we can't rule out GoldenEye.

 

[lybertyboy]

Wired all the way man!

Oh that doesn't always help during a live demo, but that's a story for another time.

what is going on

Dax, you're out of your element.

 

[Merguson]

Complex is the most complex map in the Halo franchise.

Take Chiron TL34 and double the amount of transporters.

There's your remake.

I said this weeks ago; its clearly Facility

Back to the topic of Helmets:

If Foreword Unto Dawn takes place before Halo, Why does MCs helmet look like the current? :O!


Also, Lack of CQB makes me want to cry. I doubt there will be any Helmet DLC, ever.

 

[Bregmann Roche]

Posting stuff without explanation should result in bans, so annoying.

But when people DO post explanations we get Wahrer Awkward Hose-Gate. I'm comfortable with erring on the side of NO explanations.

Spoiler

WTF is Complex please.

Felicity you mean.

:O

Armor DLC. Believe!

Anus Map remake, you know

 

[Vire]

The past two pages of this thread.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

So including Complex, how many other maps do we have left?

 

[Beckx]

Did Frank ever say which game the remake map was from?

Believe.

 

[wwm0nkey]

A bit random but one of my friends who lurks here decided to remix the weapon sounds videos and wanted me to share them.

UNSC / Covenant

I think she did a pretty good job and the first one is pretty awesome when the vocals kick in lol

 

[Tawpgun]

It'd be cool to get another Halo PC remake map. A more condensed, slightly reimagined danger canyon would be sweet.

 

[dmg04]

:O

Armor DLC. Believe!

Anus Map remake, you know

What was the reason for no armor DLC in reach? Wasn't it that every perm was 'hardwired' to the maps, so having DLC would require downloading every map all over again?

I'd love for amor DLC, don't get me wrong... I just doubt we'll see it until the new gen and Halo 5 :'(

 

[Pop]

So including Complex, how many other maps do we have left?

So about that Complex map, someone gonna give us the goods on it.

 

[FyreWulff]

It's not a Goldeneye map remake. Although Microsoft DOES own that geometry now, so.. not exactly out of the realm of possibility either.

 

[squidhands]

If I loved Tsavo Highway, I'd be in heaven in the Spartan Ops mission "Land Grab".

Favorite MP map? Not sure. Can't decide between Solace, Haven, Complex, Exile, Adrift or Longbow.

Meh, Complex looks a bit too open if you ask me. Not sure how that would play out against good players in matchmaking.

Okay, did Hyper and Over just get hired by 343? What's with the cryptic comments? And what the hell does "IF I loved Tsavo Highway" mean? Are there people who don't love The Chopper that mission? God's balls, people; Shitty Work Monday is not the day to fuck around with information.

Believe.

yes.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Solace looks like a fun map. For some reason the layout reminds me of Gears of War map design.

 

[GrimBrother One]

Back to the topic of Helmets:

If Foreword Unto Dawn takes place before Halo, Why does MCs helmet look like the current? :O!

It looks slightly current, but in actuality is the version of Mk IV seen in The Package from Halo: Legends. And it looks absolutely amazing in person.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Solace looks like a fun map. For some reason the layout reminds me of Gears of War map design.

I've thought the same thing and it's probably because every place on the map feels connected and grounded.

A bit random but one of my friends who lurks here decided to remix the weapon sounds videos and wanted me to share them.

UNSC / Covenant

I think she did a pretty good job and the first one is pretty awesome when the vocals kick in lol

I liked it, fit the Covenant theme pretty well.

 

[HiredN00bs]

I'm considering attempting to acquire all the pre-order and SKU exclusive disc-locked content in Halo 4. Somebody stop me (or give me some guidance as to what exactly I should not bother collecting *cough* Stinkles *cough* lybertyboy *cough* pls).

 

[Franklinator]

It's not a Goldeneye map remake. Although Microsoft DOES own that geometry now, so.. not exactly out of the realm of possibility either.

So it's a Perfect Dark map remake, then. Hurray!

I'm considering attempting to acquire all the pre-order and SKU exclusive disc-locked content in Halo 4. Somebody stop me.

Huge waste of time, money, and effort just for ugly skins and helmets.

 

[Reagan's BR]

How did that happen?

 

[FyreWulff]

So it's a Perfect Dark map remake, then. Hurray!

Then they'd have to pick the best map from the game, Area 52. (Video)

How did that happen?

Complex exists as a map in both Perfect Dark and Banjo-Tooie, both of which Microsoft now owns.

 

[HiredN00bs]

Huge waste of time, money, and effort just for ugly skins and helmets.

Don't forget emblems. Although I'll probably stay with the one I used for Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo: Reach. You don't like that Arctic BR? Shit is BA (and also not available from any US retailer, ugh).

Do you have a significant other? Tell her/him your current plan and see how fast they smarten you up.

Shhhhhhhhhh!

 

[wwm0nkey]

I liked it, fit the Covenant theme pretty well.

I like both of them MUCH more than the dubstep versions to be honest with you.

Also feel free to watch her other videos, though I am pretty sure the rest are just her dancing until she makes another Halo video XD
