Fuckin' Beth didn't put 'em in.
But you're playing Halo Reach Grifball. So is it really good? Is it?

Evade in grifball is awesome. I can't really get the timing of the hammer in Reach though. It's a bit odd.

Let's hope for CES.

I wish they would just pull a rockstar and just release a trailer/preview when they want to. I specifically hate previews in magazines.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Is such a thing even possible?
I wish they wouldn't have even shown the teaser at E3 if they didn't plan on showing anything else anytime soon. =\
We will be getting something before March, there is no way they can go that long with out anything.
Tightening graphics is hard business.

I would love to have a matchmaking race playlist, not sure it would be hugely popular, but it would be cool to have. Its the kind of thing that would work well in a weekend double exp playlist but maybe not survive long term. I wish Halo Reach had wacky weekends where gametypes like Fiesta, 3 ball, Race and others made it into matchmaking for a short period. With Reach you actually have the tools to enforce what used to be honour rules, so it could work.
Isn't CES in March? I don't expect anything before then.
The best part about Grifball was the gravity manipulation. I LOVED it in Halo 3.
Reach Grifball is boring as hell in comparison.
CES is this month
This.

Nah I disagree, you dislike Reach right? Imagine if there was no news of a Halo game on the horizon, that would be bad. Im glad we knew of the intentions for a 2012 Halo release early even if we dont know too much about the game.

Get back on the Xbox tonight.
CES is in January and I am on a panel talking about movies and games. But I am not announcing a Halo movie, because we are not currently working on one and I am not talking about Halo 4.
I set your expectations to zero so Son am not disappoint.

Plans change all the time. I was surprised we didn't see anything new regarding Halo 4 last year but whatever. We got Glasslands and Primordium today. Whenever they do show Halo 4, it should be awesome.
I concede to Ellis's uber manly beard. My own beard just curled up and cried after seeing that picture.

Or so you can surpass those expectations with an in-game trailer.

Are you talking about the 343i store where people can buy the
Are we going to hear anything about the movie that got canned at least?

I like this weekly.
I dunno how you kids get it done in Grifball, though. I can't kill shit in Grifball. SWAT is the way I go if I need to rack up quick kills for some reason.

I only put up with Grifball for weeklies. Otherwise, it's a shame that it's the only way an objective gametype will be popular.

Wait, there's an objective in that gametype?
I thought Grifball was just Slayer Unlimited only you spawn with a Hammer.

There's a bomb and you arm it.. somewhere in there.
At least I can get more kills out of it per game than going and playing Team Flag Slayer.

Multi-team has basically become Crazy King Slayer Unlimited this week. Not that I mind.
That would work too.
And have the worst people ask questions during Q & A.
No I don't mean like, an event at some venue with tons of people. I mean like, announce a date for the reveal. Have a countdown. Build hype. Build hype. Then reveal like on IGN or even on Halo.xbox.com. Something like that.

I think "Is the Master Chief in this game?" or "Will we use our Xbox 360 to play this game?" aren't bad question in my eyes.

But Im glad you ruled it out ahead of time.
I will say though, I wish we had the idea of a timeframe of when we could see something.
sigh
After all this wait when Halo 4 finally shows up it better do it in a spectacular fashion. At the very least tons of multiplayer footage, a bit of campaign, some music from the game and a date for the public beta #1.
Yeah would like to know what month we will at least see something

I agree, this whole wait and see thing is getting a bit ridiculous. For Reach, they'd announced that it would be at the VGAs so at the very least we had a set date to anticipate seeing the game. Same with the GI Hub and its related content that appeared shortly after.

I think something close to that would be reasonable. It all sounded a bit absurd to me at first, but no more absurd than knowing nothing about a game coming out within the year.

I find the lack of Halo 4 news disturbing.
Seriously, all we have seen is a cg trailer with ugly chief, a bunch of concept art thrown together and a vid of a bunch of guys fyring potato cannons in the woods :/

Oh, that would work.
There should be a pre-screening for these things.
