I think the "Cool Spawn, Bro" is the most confusing. I can't immediately place it anywhere in anything. I wonder in what context it will be used.

Hmm I never thaught of it this way before, but I would still say that the Asthetic and location are still very different, as much as we see the Human asthetic in Halo 3 we dont actually see like training yards (The Pit), and as much as we see the Forerunner Asthetic we dont get to see places like Sandtrap or Epitaph or Construct which are very different places.
What im trying to say is, its going to be very hard for them to provide that level of variety if were only going to play in spaces from the campeign, which obviusly cant take us to that many places in the long run.
Again its only asthetics and so not exactly a game breaking thing, im sure the level gemetry and so on will be awesome, but im worried its going to be a little 'samey' looks wise, dont get me wrong theres a huge pallet of human architecture, but in a finite game which has to flow well only a small amount of scenery will be seen.

I wonder if it will be when you spawn kill or are being spawn killed. Either way it is awesome.

It would be pretty awesome if those announcer sound bites were selectable by users to put on film clips they take. 
True to an extent, though really, the art styles just weren't different enough in the instances you cited to make them feel like really unique spaces to me. They were environments and art we'd mostly seen in campaign, remixed. I was referring to the setting for the levels, at any rate.bobs99 ... said:
But to be honest: I don't really care. After the first few games on a given map, the aesthetics fade away and the design comes into sharper focus. So my big concern about the shift in the MP map creation process had to do with the design, not the settings. I'm not really worried about either at this point, though I'm very curious to see the results.

I think it will add some depth to the campaign. Imagine if in Halo 3 you were in the middle of a campaign level and you end up being inside a structure that leads to a bunch of enemy encounters in The Pit. Seeing the multiplayer maps reworked in a way that would allow for better AI encounters would be really fun to see. Ofcourse it wont be just a campaign level, more like a structure in the campaign level.
Think about how much time is spent on a campaign map as opposed to a Multiplayer Map, now the campaign maps will have the depth of a multiplayer map. I think it also makes the campaign more diverse as it opens up the eyes of both the campaign and multiplayer designers to work together with the overall look of the maps and allows for more diversity in the campaign.

:lol Sorry, just thought that would be a good use for the "You suck" one. Would be a pretty cool feature for bungie pro users maybe.

Jorge and Emile? The first pic looks like Jorge in the concept art where he has his helmet off. Im assuming the other is Emile since Jun is probably asian.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
Does anybody have that old video from Bungie in their early begginings and they don't even have proper desks? They are eating pizza, sitting on a carpet, and talking about Quake. I want to show it to a friend, but i can't find it.

In an interview from X10 (on halo waypoint) they said in co-op players will play as their "Spartan" and that they are focusing on customization. So I am betting on no right now.

Ah that sucks. It'd be a lot more interesting and fun to play as the other Spartans in the co-op rather than a clone. I'm guessing some characters probably die off or get split up towards the end so it's may not be possible. Still, it'd be nice if not only you but your buddies too showed up during the cut-scenes and played a role in the story.
Come on guys, all the cool kids are doing ping tests!

I was on taking screenshots for a new website, but i honestly forgot it was Saturday.neoism said:
There was an interview on GameTrailers or Inside Xbox with Marcus Lehto in which he says you will play as the Spartan you play in single-player in multi. He says this after stressing the level of customisation available in single-player which carries over to the multiplayer side, so I'm assuming you'll only be playing the one character throughout.clashfan said:
edit: Wow, nevermind. Beaten harder than a red headed stepchild.

I assumed the first one is Carter since he has some of the same scars as the Carter we see in the Reach trailer. The thing that threw me off was his hair was different in this picture...so I'm not sure.
I thought the second picture was for sure Jorge. The armor even looks like his. Could be wrong though.

Well if the customization is as deep as everyone is hoping and I am sure Bungie is shooting for then you won't be playing with "clones", think of it as possibly playing with friends who have different armor abilities than you so you can work together and be your own Noble Squad. That is what I am hoping for.
