Nice soundtrack, but it didn't remind me of Halo, all I meant. I'm listening to Neon Night right now, get off my back!

That's the only soundtrack I'm missing. I need to pick it up sometime.

But man, as soon as this revamped Halo: CEA soundtrack comes out...I'm all over it.

The AA on the back bottom is actually quite clever, the AR on the front however...

I wanted the AR on the front to mimic the 'weapons down' position of the AR, but yeah, I didn't want to spend more than five minutes working on it.

Slightly better?

If they do release Halo games in that timeline that you guys were discussing in the previous page then I guess we won't see any sort of Halo 2 remake for quite a while then, right? Or at the least not a Halo 2 remake with multiplayer? If they could use Reach as an excuse for not doing CE multiplayer then you have to figure they'll use H4 as an excuse for not doing H2 multiplayer. And if they don't then they'll do H5 and H6.

I think 2 years isn't enough.... 3 years gave more value to 3. I was bored of it by that point but I just don't like games like this so close together. It is one of the reasons I quit COD... too many games too soon.

2 years is plenty of time. I was so burnt out on Halo 3 by its last year.

Three years left massive chunks of time (nearly a year in some cases) without new maps, which was not really ideal. A 2 year cycle allows them to iterate on ideas that need work faster and give more aggressive support for existing games. The Reach -> Halo 4 cycle is two years, does that really seem so short? Gotta be honest, it seems like Reach has been out since 1996 by now to me.

I have been burnt out on Reach for a while. Some change in a good direction would be fantastic. The sooner the better, as long as their is adequate incubation.

Also remember that H4's dev time did not coincide with Reach's, H4 would have had at least 3 years of dev by its release.

Be glad Halo isn't managed by Capcom then.

I'm down with a two year cycle. But with how early the Halo hype train starts running around these parts, it will feel like a new Halo is constantly being talked about, which will be kind of tiresome. I like the long, tension-building cycle: teaser > hype > actual trailer > more hype > multiplayer info > insane hype > beta > totally rabid hype > game release > bliss
> complaining for three years
. With a new game every two years, I'm kind of afraid we won't appreciate what we have so much, and will get burnt out.

It's actually pretty cool here right now. Meanwhile some northern states are just now getting over a heat wave.

I don't care if they go valve time on Halo, so glad to hear annual releases are not planned. One way to run a series into the ground.

...although, Halo Wars, ODST and now Anniversary have all filled in the gap year. I wonder what, if anything 343i have planned for between Halo 4 and 5.

LOL. This poor Marine. The look on his face as he realized that the last thing he would ever smell was Master Chief passing gas. The horror. The horror.

I don't know, but I'm not going to be buying it just because it says Halo on the box. I didn't enjoy Halo Wars, and Halo Reach is not what I'm looking for. I'll buy the books and keep up with the fiction, but I'm not putting time and money into more games that I won't enjoy.

I didn't mean anything by it. I had you pegged as a hardcore player, not a halo nerd listening to soundtracks and what not :p

Im curious, in CEA, will the cut-scene animations be as stiff and dated, or will they try to make it look modern without changing anything? The first would seem weird, but Im not sure how much they can get away with changing...without really changing anything.

I'm both really, Marty's music is the only thing I can say for certain I will miss for the new Halo's.

You know that's a good question. I wouldn't mind a couple of the cutscene's being a bit smoother animation wise. I figure they'll probably keep them pretty true to the original though and I'm perfectly fine with that.

You and me both. In my opinion, the biggest shoes to fill taking on the franchise.

93 isn't that bad if the humidity isn't too bad. It's been absolutely miserable here, feels like I'm suffocating when I step outside.

^ Definitely, I still say to this day that the music hooked me in just as much as the gameplay did in CE.

I agree and honestly I haven't heard anything yet that remotely matches Marty's music. Hopefully 343 can but I just don't know on that.

Good news. I hope they don't turn around and say thats just for the main games... Main games every 2 years. Spin-offs to fill the gaps.

Halo has more lasting power than most games. Take advantage of it.
Click to expand...
So long as the development of the games overlaps, so each gets a full three year dev cycle, then I think a two year cadence will work well. A proper Halo game can't be done in two years. Frankie's been clear about their philosophy in terms of recognizing the content and feature scope that defines Halo, so I'm optimistic that's what we'll see.
