Yeah, what did ever happen to that map? I was figuring it'd be one of the first non-shipping Forge World maps to pop up in matchmaking.

Whatever community map integration process it was built for got canned.

O Brave New ViDoc!

Great read again, Duncan. Great site , I might add, but I only have one issue and it's the same issue I have with HBO: All links make the page go forward instead of opening a new tab.

As for urk's map, I still want a DL link even if it's not in MM or anything.

O Brave New ViDoc!



A lot of the info has already been discussed on Bungie.net, but I think I collected most of it and still managed to find some new things. As always, I'd love to hear what HaloGAF thinks.

Great work!!

are we still myspacing it up?

yeah

Thanks for the positive comments, everyone! Glad you liked the article.

Haha, nice.

Suuuuuuper cute. And I mean that totally platonically, haha. We have a pretty similar style.

thanks

Dude, clean your room.

I'm super lazy about cleaning my room. Besides, I'm only here for another month or so.

Nice writeup Duncan.

When I read Staten's quote, the thing that keeps popping into my head is that players' choices both individually and as factions and their outcomes will actually change the world(s) and the course of their futures, which to me sounds incredibly cool.

I think the gyrosensor or whatever in my phone fucked up or something while i took the pic, and I just didn't realize at first. #ohwell

@sai
double click home button, scroll all the way to the left and unlock the rotation
if it's already unlock, it was just the gyro being weird during that one photo

Oh, it takes sideways photos fine with the rotation being locked, but my phone's been screwing up a lot lately, so the camera can be a bit slow to recognize that it's being tilted

Here you go, Letters. This is a more recent picture than the one from PAX.

Did OWV sneak in that Mister Chief pic or was that all you Letters? Either way that is awesome.

Holy crap, New Alexandria almost had a Joust easter egg.

Dan Miller on HBO:

On top of that, I (along with The Package) put more Easter Eggs in those levels than I've ever done. I only had to cut one easter egg- I actually got an ode to the game "Joust" complete with four rideable Moa, Jetpack and Swords. Unfortunately, the rideable Moa came in too hot and didn't make re-entry.​

I love reading about this stuff.

Also, I found this quote interesting. Probably nothing, but still:

: I was a mission designer on Halo, I am a designer at Bungie.

I should've rephrased this:

I was a mission designer for Halo 3, ODST and Reach.

We no longer have 'mission designers' at Bungie- so I am not that anymore.​

Dude. I don't know you and have only seen the PAX pic of you, but what an awesome feat. Fracking congratulations!

So. I hate 1-Flag CTF on Boneyard. The setup is terrible (it should go from the middle of the cruiser down to the core room), and the vehicle/weapon mix absurdly over the top (tank needs to go). I've never had anything but misery on it.

Until tonight, when I had an actual semi-fun game. I got matched up against a team with four guys from one clan, so I assumed we'd get rocked. Not so, we held our own. We start on offense, which was the lone score of the game. Click the picture for how that went, starting with the first flag touch (there were 13, I think - I lost count near the end).



I make many cameos, including as the dude who leaps for the flag, gets a touch, instantly assassinated, dual teabagged, and then watches one of the teabaggers get pasted by a Ghost (landing Revenge a moment later was a tasty treat).

I haven't had one of those huge, slow-walking flag crawls of mass death in a long while. It was fun (partly because the tank was out of commission early, I DMRd it to death). The tank makes a return at the very end, landing a triple kill, and if we hadn't capped it just then it would have sat there and prevented one. (Tank shouldn't be on the map, much less set to respawn.)

At the bottom of the second round they manage a rush that gets the flag into a very beaten up Warthog and they take off with <20 second left. I think they might have pulled off the tie when this dude saves the day.

Which gave me a moment in the film to appreciate how awesome Reach's explosions are. It's one of the things Reach unquestionably does well; things blow up real good.

Anyways. Please take all non-DLC maps out of Premium Battle, and fix 1-Flag CTF on Boneyard. It took a whole lot of misery to find one entertaining game.

Hmmm, maybe I'm just being hopeful, but my guess may not be that far off. There are no mission designers because the actions of the players shape the world.

Destiny is going to be huge, no matter what kind of game it is. I am absolutely sure of this. Bungie isn't the kind of game studio that has the ability to disappoint. It just isn't possible for them.

 

[senador]

Nice article Duncan. You have a great eye for catching detail. I can't wait to see how close your ideas and thoughts are to the real thing.

My favorite part:

Exciting times ahead.

This part nailed it:

"This final shot shows Jason Jones standing in front of the Destiny Star Map with what I think are the words “of home” at the bottom of the slide.
Nothing shocking here, but it certainly is a comforting image to fans of the studio."
