You bad mothertrucker, you started the Beta thread party without me! Great job Ghaleon, thread looks frickin sweet!
GhaleonEB said:Gamespot has their article up, which has some nice shots of the Boneyard layout (IGN and a few others didn't post these two, though Kotaku did). I'll add them to the OP when I find some with less odious watermarks.
Looks like the ship serves as a divider of sorts between the front and back half of the map.
I'd take a Halo dildo over a pair of boxers any day. Wait, that came out wrong...Shake Appeal said:I think when Frankie was talking about certain directions of Halo marketing being "too much", this is what he was referring to.

I'm predicting that in the first few games of every game type, everyone is going to be flying jetpacks. Invasion will start and everyone just goes vertical. :lolsquidhands said:JCan't wait to explore this place. First few games are going to be pointless in regards to stats.
You guys and your crazy weapon names.Nutter said:That is ok, I forsee it being called, Redeemer, Deemer, Doomer, Donger, Domer. No Need to say DMR. :lol
Lunchbox said:
wtf is this shit. they took bumper jumper and took out the JUMP from the Bumper......
the real bumper jumper better switch A with LB
A = armor
LB = Jump
Kind of a small nitpick, but this is probably going to be the same situation for me. With every MP game, I usually set out to explore the maps first and get a good feel of each map before I hop into any online games. Having to learn a map while playing is pretty jarring to me. The first few matches of the beta are going to be a bit rough for me.squidhands said:Can't wait to explore this place. First few games are going to be pointless in regards to stats.
Raide said:Some team mates will wait for their team mate to get killed, just so they can have revenge and get in a secondary teabag. :lol
Like a Teabagging train. Execute, hump, get executed, return the hump, :lol

Same. At least this is the beta (preseason), and once the final game gets shipped I'll be spending a lot of time in Forge to learn the maps without wanting to yell "timeout!" to the guy shooting at my face.Dax01 said:Kind of a small nitpick, but this is probably going to be the same situation for me.

dilatedmuscle said:You know how you can kill an enemy thats assassinating your teammate? I was wondering if you can Assaassinate someone who is trying to assassinate yourteammate... if so, that could make a hillarious train of assassinations in which hardly anybody dies because they all got saved except for the final assassinated dude. The possibilities, hillarious train.... or hillarious flight assassination traing :-o
I'm hoping BJ stays exactly as it is in H3, as long as LB = both jump AND jetpack. X is fine for every other AA. I'm tarted with B melee.NJ Shlice said:No.
LB - Jump
RB - AA
Y - Switch weapon
X - Reload
B - Melée
A - Switch grenade
So in the GTTV episode they kind of make an emphasis that on Boneyard it will be the Elites attacking and the spartans defending. Do you lot think then that other Invasion maps will see Spartans as attackers and Elites as defenders. Has it been said it will always be Elites on offence?
For example an attack on a covenant cruiser?
Stage one enter the drop ship bay by pelican and fight out.
Stage two fight through the halls and vehicle bays of the crusier.
Stage 3 get access to the command deck and hit self destruct then escape to waiting pelicans and fly off in a blaze of glory into space. Spunk.
How many Invasions maps do you think we will see and I would suspect they take a lot more rersource to build and test than your normal MP map?
snoopeasystreet said:I hope there's a bumper jumper control option similar to Halo 3. Between playing Halo 3 and Left 4 Dead 2 a lot recently, B is the correct button for reloading.

You won't be able to four-shot anything anyway, dude.Lunchbox said:JUMP on the BUMPER
everything else can go hell, fix it bungie. if i cant jump and aim and 4 shot at the same time = Downgrade
feature parity with halo3
Let's see... You know that "Spawn on your battle bro" thing that everyone is excited about? That originated from Battlefield Bad Company. Does it enhance the gameplay? Absolutely.Kimosabae said:Umm, Halo isn't Gears of War. And before you state "That's the point"; just because some element exists in another game doesn't mean it can't exist in Halo to the game's benefit.

Where did I say Halo was Gears? I was only making a simple comparison of a similar move where you have the option to use it and therefore it isn't forced. Don't see them complaining about it at all.

I was about to post this. Also, free super saver shipping is available.JesseZao said:
No it didn't.DualX said:Let's see... You know that "Spawn on your battle bro" thing that everyone is excited about? That originated from Battlefield Bad Company.
For that, I'll have to find you during the beta and baconate you.SpudBud said:You guys and your crazy weapon names.

-Yeti said:So, hopefully today I can find some time to start rehearsing the song with my Pops. The title for the song right now is "Dong All Day Long", but of course that's subject to change. :lol
I wish I could let you guys hear the Tuba part. I think it's sounds awesome.
You know what, you're right. I would have had a better debate against a brick wall especially when your agrument is essentially Opinion > All.Kimosabae said:Look, your comprehension is bad. This isn't important to me, so I'm done with it. I think it's a wasted opportunity. The end.

Well I wouldn't mind that so much, I do love bacon.

this is a little add on for the different editions that was posted in the last thread.
If the prices are true. 0_0

God help me. Wasn't $130 enough last time!?The $150 option allegedly contains all of the contents of the limited edition, in addition to even more "unique packaging" and in-game armor, plus a "Legendary Noble 6 Sculpture." When asked for comment, Microsoft issued its standard response: "We don't comment on rumor or speculation."
Feel free. My only request is that you rehost the images, otherwise, use as much or as little as you'd like. And thanks for asking.Toddler said:Gahl, would you mind if I copied bits and peices of the OP to start a thread for another forum? I'm not wanting to steal any of the banners (as sweet as they are), but I really like how all of the info is formated and organized.
That looks an awful lot like one Mr. Vociferous, but with a fly new sweatshirt. I am green with envy right now.Blueblur1 said:I want one of these.

Just so you know, the DMR kills in just about the same number of shots as the BR and is hitscan. Basically, it's much better than the 3 BR, from preview info. The spread and travel time with the BR make it difficult to succeed with past mid-range, and the spread makes it variable at mid-range even.Strider2K99 said:Just realized there's no BR.
And I don't want to hear about the Marksman Rifle or whatever.
