Here's a fun game:Hey You said:
"Even though its optional, I think X shouldn't be in CEA."
Replace X with any optional feature:
- rumble
- widescreen support
- online co-op
- splitscreen co-op
- the new graphic layer
- the old graphics mode
- Kinect support
- hidden Terminals
- easter eggs
Not trying to troll, I just wanted to point out how ridiculous that statement is.

Highlands is symmetric is its core design, it just has some asymmetric qualities. A shocking number of "symmetrical" Halo maps have asymmetrical elements to it. For all intensive purposes though, those maps are played as symmetrical maps.

Awesome! My hotel can be the forward base. It's right in downtown Seattle and 0.6 miles from the convention center.GhaleonEB said:That's one mile away from the hotel Hitmonchan and I are staying in.
Probably going to be an awful place though, it was only $75/night. Good thing I'm not going to spend much time there.

I think it's reasonable to argue against it. Developers have limited time, budgets and resources for completing a game. As a consumer, I have opinions and can and should voice them. I don't own a Kinect and would rather 343i not spend their time developing for it. That's reasonable for me to say to 343i, "I don't want Kinect," especially when they have a very strict ship date that is fast approaching.
It might be premature to complain about Kinect since they haven't announced all of Anniversary's features. We don't know what multiplayer will be like (fully) and we don't know if there will be a theatre mode or skulls or what have you.
What I will be upset with is if core features of the Halo franchise, like skulls & theatre mode don't make the cut, but Kinect support is there.
So for now, I'll say, "I don't want Kinect" and wait (im)patiently for them to announce the stuff that I really want (like theatre mode).
There is now a train direct to downtown, which takes about twenty minutes. So it has gone from being a terrible place to stay to a sensible one. Otherwise it would have been $40 cab rides each way.Hypertrooper said:I booked my flight and the hotel for PAX today. I'm going to stay in the La Quinta Inn & Suites Sea Tac.

- There IS theater mode for the Multiplayer because it uses the Halo: Reach multiplayer engine.Epyon MX said:
- There IS NOT theater mode for Campaign because it uses the Halo: CE engine.
- Skulls are not confirmed yet either way, but there are rumors of something like that being in.
I still don't think it's a very reasonable complaint, because the people that would add features like Campaign Theater aren't necessarily the people that would implement some minor Kinect functionality. Not to mention the development time and effort taken is on a completely different level. It's not like "Hey guys, we can add Kinect but that means we have to drop co-op support and we won't have time to build all 7 multiplayer maps." I guess there is a point where X and Y features are equal in terms of development cost, but I trust 343 to make the right decision when it comes to that.

I agree. If you don't voice your opinion then how do they know what the fans want? What I don't agree with is that there are some people that are just so violently against it already when we don't know anything. I'm not speaking about you of course. I'm talking in general. I myself like you am going to take a wait and see. Hopefully more is revealed at Halofest about what they are doing.

Yeah, they very likely aren't equal in terms of development time/cost. I would be curious to know how long the game has been in development. Campaign theatre is a *huge* cost. I remember how limited (but glorious) it was in Halo 3. How they worked super-hard and still couldn't get everything they wanted to do. And Reach is just fantastic. It just hurts to lose that glory. Especially with Halo 1's tricking and epic battles.
If this is true, then I'm heartbroken.ncsuDuncan said:
Has it been confirmed as not being in? I'm hoping that since the graphics engine runs on top, that they can record that.
If anybody wants to join me in powering through some Doubles Arcadefight on the smaller FF maps for the weekly, just send me a message on Live. My recent Doubles randoms have either been total jerks or quit out immediately (which I guess falls into the same category). I won't have a mic in, just a heads up.

Why does PAX have to be at the end of August? Why can't it be sometime in July or early August?

Ah Bus rides aren't so bad. I'll never forget the time I road a bus for about 3 days straight each way from here to Seattle for the Microsoft MVP convention back in 04. The one thing I learned from my bus trip was to wear sandals because dear god wearing socks and shoes for 3 days straight really does a number on your feet. More so when you have a lot of walking to do on tours, etc. The trip itself though was amazing. Such beautiful scenery to see that you would miss flying.
PsychoRaven said:
It was mostly the length. Realizing that once I got on the bus in Seattle that I'd have to watch the sun go down and come up 2 times before I got home was a bit daunting.
Also didn't help that the Greyhound driver outbound was an asshole. He almost left me behind in South Dakota. The subcontractor lines were much better and had on-bus movies.

Ah that sucks to hear. I really never had any problems. The only time there was an issue was when our bus got delayed and we missed a connection. Luckily they had a spare bus ready and waiting when our bus arrived. The longest layover I had was in Amarillo Texas and was an hour. Most of the time I was back on another bus and off to the next connection within 20 minutes.

I'm going to buy the game. Campaign co-op & HD graphics are enough for me to buy the game, but it certainly isn't everything I wanted or hope for. What's announced, and critically, what has been confirmed as not present, leaves a game that's just so limited from what it could have been. What's there is going to be unquestionably good, I just wish the game wasn't coming in November. I wish they had another year and could really do the game justice for 2011/12. Add in theatre mode. Add Ghaleon's gamplay additions (vehicle jacking, suicide grunts, etc...). I will stay tuned in, and it's a Day 1 Purchase, but theatre mode, your absence will be grieved.
Edit: Speaking of theatre mode, I still have 15 minutes for my Bungie PRO membership if anybody has films they want rendered.

Dude, I have no idea what I'll be needing to do with school or any of the clubs I'm in, so I'm already hesitant to go because of that. Plus, if I would go, I would need my parents' help to finance the trip. Saying to them, "Hey, can you give me X dollars so I can skip school and go to this Halo thing" isn't the most convincing argument.Hypertrooper said:

I am wondering if Tunavi, Neoism, Overdoziz or Xand took any clips from yesterday's games. My temp history was wiped sadly. How I would love if it could record voice, I was in stitches laughing. 5 of us going camo following people around the map was too funny.
