Speaking of books, I'm dying to tear into that Halsey journal already - the preview glances from the marketing material look beautiful and filled with win.

This. I just love the idea of Halsey's Journal. It should be fascinating.

Isn't it only available on a single map? If so then good riddance.

They can only offer pretty videos and lawsuits. Reach promises Needle Rifles and Oonsk.
 
OH NO! MY Xbox just got a single red light. I took off the HDD and booted it up again and it's still there! I'm fucked aren't I? It's over, right? Dreams of playing the beta crushed.

He's gonna be mad when someone finally tells him Invasion is only on one map too.

And it's not available immediately. Also Invasion is far more involved than Generator Defense. To be honest, Generator Defense sounds about as fun as Territories (3v3 Territories, that is.)
 
Thanks for all the responses to my inquiry. Looks like there are a lot of great options concerning Halo books, will likely end up several, starting with Fall of Reach. Can't wait.

And don't forget:
it's Treyarch. Come to think, they might actually have the stronger development team now... :lol

I like World at War more than 4. Multiplayer that is.

I think you have them confused. Invasion is two rounds of territories then a round of 1-flag CTF.

Generator defense is something new.

I have a feeling Generator defense shows up in Invasion on Overlook as one of the three sections.
 
Question: Normal Slayer gametype in the beta, does it only offer loadouts with only AR start? And is Slayer Pro only DMR start? I'm sorry if I missed this somewhere.

Not sure but I remember Shiska telling EazyB a while ago that if he wanted DMR starts to "vote pro".

They launch on separate days and one's 3v3 while the other's 6v6. I'd be very surprised if they were in the same playlist.

The Beta guide only says "Slayer" and "Slayer Pro" loadout palettes. They didn't bother saying what those where comprised of and all I got out of Urk was laser starts. I'm afraid slayer pro could tun out to be DMR+AR and with the DMR being pretty weak in CQC most of the CQC will devolve into spraying. The pistol seems more versatile than the DMR so I'd almost rather take AR+magnum starts over DMR+AR. Crossing my fingers for DMR+magnum starts but we'll see. There could also be more than one weapon loadout because the description for Slayer Classic details the primary and secondary weapon but the other two slayer variants don't. Not sure why they wouldn't if they too all their loadouts had the same weapon.
 
Not sure if it's been mentioned but the point of the HBO game is to avoid obstacles. So if they are keeping track of that, just avoid the first obstacle and refresh the window and do it again. Avoid that first obstacle like a billion times and you win.

I don't mean for the beta, I mean I bet "Generator Defense" turns into a small (4-minute objective) section in Invasion down the road.

I could see that, but I think
i.e. hope and pray OH PLEASE BE TRUE
Generator Defense is a test for a souped-up Firefight.
