For sure. I still wish we would return to Earth though. Then again, the story explanation for that would be pretty lame and would probably look like a copy paste of Halo 3.

I was all excited, but then I remembered it's megabloks, and thus will have warped parts that refuse to stay together. Still. Also, SAW!

that minifig is pretty cool.
Also, man I'm behind on news. I see all these map expositions and stuff and I just can't get myself excited for the game anymore for some reason. There's so much stuff and I just want to play Halo again.

Halo 2 did have the most variation in its environments, and I really enjoyed it for that. Cairo Station, Earth, Halo 05, Forerunner research facility, and High Charity. Doesn't seem like a lot, but some of those environments changed through the game (High Charity) or provided with wildly different locations (Halo 05).
Seeing we're on a nostalgia trip on Halo 3, I thought I'd post this part from the end of The Ark. (I posted this before over on HBO back in 2010).
So at the end of The Ark, there's a ring with a bunch of jetpack brutes and a Brute Chieftain in the middle. I'd always just opened up on them right away, anxious to end the level. Well, as it turns out, the Chieftain is actually shouting at you, challenging you to a duel. He yells, "For the Prophets! Fight me! Im right here!
So if you accept his duel, you and him will fight to the death with the other brutes jeering you.
It's a pretty cool scene, and one that's easy to miss. The wail of the jetpack Brutes when I slew their Chieftain in solo combat was glorious. If you're replaying, I highly encourage you to accept his challenge.
WHAT.
Never knew this.

You can in Reach as well. It just takes a lot more to do so. I killed a ton of phantoms on that mission once to farm the weekly challenge (get a crazy number of points on a campaign mission). I used a wraith.

Didnt know about that, I was busy killing them from behind.

I bet it has already been posted, but this is the reason why I love the Halo Universe. Great video!

I would always try and kill the chieftain during that time though

What's going on here?
Also, is my new avatar too creepy or something?
Gotta add the EMP medal to it later on. Or the Red Star.

I know, it is probably the only Halo video that truly captures, and sums up what I love about Halo. Also, M83 and the footage were a perfect marriage for that video. Agh I can't get over how much I love that video.

We know we won't fight them for months already.

Don't see why going the extra mile to make flood spartans means they are in campaign. Flood is just alien zombies as far as gameplay.
They killed gravemind and removed the flood from earth. Otherwise wouldn't the planet be lost to them if the flood still existed in any way? Also that was what the whole damned trilogy came down to. So why the fuck do we want to continue that. Can't we have a more menacing and new saga begin?
Fucking hate the flood.
Don't know if this is bothering you guys, but here you go:
Yes! They finally got Young Kong to do the "Awakening Barn mix Feat. Marty O'D".

Guys, seriously, whether you are joking or not spoiler thread those.

Guys, just so nobody is accidentally spoiled, I think you should move the discussion to Dani's spoiler thread. Or take it to PMs at the least.

Can't believe so many people didn't know about the Brute challenge at the end of The Ark. I think I figured that out on my second play-through. Well, I've known about it for a while at least.

Must resist temptation. I have to say I'm doing a much better job at keeping myself unspoiled. I don't think I would've been able to not watch those spoilers when Reach was about to release.

Do you read the books? Lol...

No. The whole trilogy was about the war against the Covenant which ended. But if you think you won't fight the Flood anymore, you were ignorant for the past two years. Every piece of fiction which had been released, except for the Kilo-Five Trilogy, deals with the Flood: The Forerunner Trilogy, the Anniversary terminals and even the fiction behind the Prometheans.
If you don't proceed at a leisurely pace with sound cranked up, you miss a lot of the Halo campaigns.
320 is my minimum happy zone.
Well, it was a nice visit today (only Halo site I can access from the hospital other than HBO's front page) glad I got to share the speed run with everyone, time to once again go dark.
Was going to pack that up into a haiku but... Morphene.

No sorry. I only play the game. The story in the games was a bit too odd/I hate the flood. It turned me off big time to them.
Halo 4 looks great so far, and I am excited by how the story seems to be an integral part to it. It makes me almost want to read the books.
I watched the halo animated shorts, and played the games and read online here about the stories from the books. Especially since I hear how games like this and Reach are making changes to the books.
I kill them on New Alexandria. Can you do so on other missions as infantry? I have never seen it pulled off, and never did myself.

Hope you're okay, good sir. Hospitals, bleh.
Alright, most of you weren't here for the release of the previous games so it's understandable, but listen, since the spoiler tag is used for all kinds of things and to avoid people uncovering them while distracted, it is custom and polite to put a brief bolded description of what kind of spoiler is included in your post right before the spoiler. Like so:
(Halo 4 story spoiler!)
(Campaign gameplay spoiler!)
(Halo 4 story spoiler!)
Cortana gets pissed at this thing or the other.
(Campaign gameplay spoiler!)
Warthog of the seas!

Of course, people should go into a thread which post major plot lines of Halo 4 in his OP? I am sorry but please, that's not the spoiler thread people are looking for.
Likely going to be 320K .mp3 if purchased via Zune or Amazon, perhaps Apple Lossless if from iTunes.

OT I know, but if you fine folks could take the time to wish Scorcho well, that'd be wondrous.
Thanks all.
