Guys did you catch that mancannon? I'm hoping for forge ability!

Whoa. There's a mancannon?!

*checks footage*

Now you've got my attention.

Halo-GAF is so awesome. They had this pegged hours ago. Confirmation makes it that much sweeter.

 

[Devolution]

I'm really curious if any of the objective ruleset is going to be touched by the TU. Stuff like fixing sudden death, flag proximity contesting, all that should either go back to its best incarnation or be made configurable.

I hope to christ the TU fixes some spawning issues in objective.

What, you don't like spawning in the enemy's base on Asylum?

THREE SHOT PISTOL

I gotta ask: If the pistol takes only three shots to kill, what roles do the DMR and Nerfle serve?

Edit: And holy crap, is that a Forerunner city in the background? :O

The map looks great, but damn does Jetpack break it. And lol @ PAX randoms playing like they've never played an FPS before.

They serve the role of getting turned the fuck off.

Range.

I think the pistol will end up getting slightley nerfed. Never saw anyone kill someone that fast with the Halo 1 pistol.

 

[The Librarian]

YES

It's...beautiful.

6. Hang Em' High (grey forge map 2.0?)
7. "Halo" FF map (Installation 004)

List complete.

No bloom.

Reach just became playable.

You didn't play Halo 1 or not well at least. To be honest I think the shooting is a bit faster.

I played a LOT on Halo PC and on my version of it (cracked) I was among the best there. I have never seen someone kill someone that fast. I don't think the pistol shot that fast.

It is, they need to slow the rate of fire for the classic playlists or else this M6D talk is blatantly false.

Beats me cause I'd drop the damn thing first chance I could get all the time.

 

[MrBig]

Yep. RoF on the DMR and pistol needs to be capped and reduced.

 

[A27_StarWolf]

Now that I think about it Hang em High is a really great candidate for forge.

 

[ShortBizzle]

This has some more multiplayer footage. Plus more footage of headlong. I noticed no teleporter...

 

[Devolution]

Fixed.

I rewatched, the Halo CE version definitely has a slower rate of fire.

 

[Havok]

Updated variants of the classic maps have small changes like that. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a 'classic' variant with the teleporter intact.

 

[A27_StarWolf]

Take back what you said about Headlong on Twitter !

 

[kittens]

Holy crap some of that footage is such garbage! Gotta love that one clip on Damnation where the guy almost betrays his teammate. SMH.

And the grenade yoink, also on Damnation. That one made me laugh at least.

 

[ShortBizzle]

Yeah, I agree. I like how they gave us the original in addition to fresh takes on the maps.

We bring you this momentary break from halo for this

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WOWOWOWOWWOWOW

Fix the assault arming

 

[Nutter]

Meh if MLG take advantage of some of the TU stuff I will be interested in it next time. For now its crappy vanilla Reach. eww.

So Vanilla Reach sucks, and then the TU without a ROF change will suck.. what will you do?

Make up your mind...

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Feeds back up.

 

[i nerini del buio]

that pistol spam kinda worries me

 

[Kuroyume]

A mancannon on Headlong? Get that trash out of there. Don't want to see it in Classic.

 

[wwm0nkey]

it wont be in classic, remember there is a classic and remastered version of each map.

 

[A27_StarWolf]

How do you know a man cannon won't play better?

 

[Kuroyume]

You can't improve on perfection. Okay.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

God this is going to be panel of the fest I think.

 

[Tunavi]

that pistol spam kinda worries me

And the overpowered grenades, armor abilities, and melees don't?

 

[A27_StarWolf]

Stacker....... so good.

 

[Devolution]

How do you know a man cannon won't play better?

Even if it plays better it won't be part of classic as how they defined it so far.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Stacker....... so good.

Yes Yes he is. I so pray to god Marty will post these clips all on the net. I so want to save them.

ROFLMAO @ those Reach outtakes of Keyes in Reach. My sides are literally hurting from laughing so hard.

 

[neoism]

guys can you re-watch the panels anywhere?

 

[A27_StarWolf]

Who is the Red monitor?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Not yet. Waypoint will be uploading them later sometime soonish.

 

[MrBig]

They will be on Waypoint soon.

I didn't watch that terminal. Nope.

 

[Ken]

Who is the Red monitor?

Isn't Penitent Tangent red?

Spoiler if you didn't watch the Terminal video:
Picture from the Terminal Video I think

Spoiler

Is that a Forerunner or something else? Had the volume at low and was playing Third Strike so I couldn't hear what the Monitor was saying.

 

[neoism]

Jens voice is awesome.

 

[Crucio]

Just finished going through the IGN videos, man that's some exciting stuff. I'm blown away by the look of CEA. Headlong??? Holy crap, Gauss hog? Holy Crap. Installation 04 FF map? Holy Crap. Those 6 new maps and great picks, I'm pumped.

The Terminal videos look fantastic, I'm REALLY looking forward to diving into those.

Was it my understanding that the panels are being recorded and uploaded to the interwebs? That would be fantastic!

Isn't Penitent Tangent red?

Ken I always thought that Penitent Tangent was red because he was under the gravemind's control.
