It's a shame Marty didn't answer that question about the evolution of Halo's music. That little remark about the music in future games ruined it. Sigh.

No it was awesome. Marty is moving on and I can't wait to hear what he's got in store for the new franchise. The man is too genius to be condemned to Halo for the rest of his life.

Great panel, really enjoyed that one.

Hands on with the remade maps:

After I shower I will take a scoop around the news media world and add whatever I find to the OT.

For anyone just joining the OT should have some good stuff to catch up with!

Omg, that panel was absolutely amazing. So funny.

Also, that second terminal video was nice, but it was already on IGN. I am pretty certain they have been posting stuff too early all day, but ah well.

Anyways, Headlong. Any official word? Is it on the floor at all? Ghaleon knew about it, so unless he got it from reading here maybe we will have more news soon.

Thanks again for the updates bromango!

Hah, sorry about that. Fixed and finished for the day, I think.

Will keep it updated over the course of the weekend. All the news summarised, all videos collected.

Really enjoying HaloFest, even as a poor person watching over the net. That last panel was a great highlight.

This is so painful to read at work. Cannot wait to get home and drown myself in all this content.

Does anyone know if Waypoint is going to be uploading the panels to their YouTube channel tonight?

Sorry, should have been more clear. I was just wondering if we had more info other than IGNs videos. Seems like they are gone now so I bet they wont be formally revealed until sunday at the MP panel.

I would kill for that. I ended up missing CEA (technical dificulties) and Universe (real life responsibilities) after waiting so long for these panels.. sigh

But they're probably too busy running Halofest to upload the panels during it, I'd say middle of next week.

We're going to do our damnedest to get the panels up on Waypoint as soon as possible. No promises on when that will be.

Also, could someone link me to this "pistol montage" video? I suspect that what you're actually seeing is a zero bloom pistol. We actually adjusted the rate of fire for the Anniversary magnum.

Prisoner really surprised me, I think it will play out well in classic settings. Jetpack will ruin it though, lol

Timberlands looks amazing, really didn't expect it to be so awesome. There's going to be a lot of fun matches on that map, i'll tell you that.

3 Shot pistol - holy shit I did not see that one coming at all, especially when they told us they didn't want it in matchmaking. So happy.

Disappointed that we won't get flood firefight, would have been too good to be true though. ODST's are actually a really cool idea. Chaingun warthog, finally.

Beta hoppers in september, COUNT ME IN!

Seeing headlong get leaked was incredible. That map looks absolutely amazing. So sick of forge BTB maps.

There you go.

Also as said earlier get that Real Hero of Genius recorded and put online along with those outtakes from Marty. I don't care if you have to Tranq him to get them from him. Make it so.

Now all we need is to make BTB DLC only or make Premium battle 8v8, make it happen 343, you're on a roll!

Any videos from the floor? I want some raw gameplay! But seriously, glad everything is good with the maps. Prisoner looks like it may be my new favorite.

Adjusted rates of fire? Breathing a massive sigh of relief here. The megatons just keep on coming.

Maybe it will have 12 rounds in the clip too

Is the DMR also getting an adjusted RoF when it has no bloom?

Oh god... Reach sounds horrible now with the TU news.

I don't want the damn Halo:CE pistol.

Also armor lock has been completely gimped. Not even useful at all anymore.

Yep, that's what I thought. None of those shots are with the Anniversary magnum. Those clips were from ZBS or zero bloom slayer matches.

Then it's a good thing you don't have to play in those playlists that have it.

You're overreacting. You still get your burst of invincibility, but now people can take steps to shorten it. I've said it many times in the Reach thread, but the solution to countering an element in a Halo game should never be 'wait it out.' It's not useless, it just isn't a giant boulder in the way of the pace of the game. Thank the heavens I won't ever have to see three people staring at a guy in Armor Lock, throwing grenades every once in a while in the hopes that he chooses to come out of it early, because right now that's the only thing they can do other than run off.

Yup. God forbid Armorlock get's balanced. Damn 343. This coming from a long time too. It's only a good thing really. Granted if I had my way all armor abilities would be gone.

So I'm guessing the beta playlists will feature a very varied set of gametypes where we'll be shaping what real playlists drop when Anniversary drops. That sounds fair.

Not sure what that article says, but to clarify, all of the changes that the TU brings are at the Megalo scripting level, so nothing will be changing where it is not wanted. What they're showing in these videos are some of the TU setting applied to gametypes with AAs.

I didn't say it shouldn't be balanced... But what was said in the OP basically makes it worthless... Of course it's only for the classic playlist.

Oh I'm not targeting you with that really. Just using that a jumping off point. I just know there are some out there thinking that it was perfectly balanced when it wasn't.
