Prisoner?!?!? My favorite Halo 1 map. YESSSSSSSS. I hope it works for Reach play.

*boooooiiiiinnnngggg*

 

[Tawpgun]

No flood firefight... Disappointed.

ARMOR LOCK NERF
SWORD BLOCK REMOVAL (plz with nerfing of sprint and evade)
CONFIGURABLE BLOOM (this means its more than just an on off thing right?)
CE MAGNUM

GET GLAD.

Also get on Halo. Would be cool to have a bunch of us sitting on Halo watching the stream together.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

SO MUCH TO UPDATE! *Head explodes*

 

[wwm0nkey]

*sees prisoner*

I came

 

[squidhands]

We still have one multiplayer map to be revealed, right? The 4 listed above plus Hang 'em High, plus mystery map?

WHAT COULD IT BE?

I find it very interesting that the 343 version of Hang 'em High, of which we've seen a screenshot of, isn't playable, but Prisoner is. Really hoping for the last map to be something for the undeservedly deprived BTB (forged maps don't count, period).

 

[Devolution]

Check your PMs =P.

 

[Treythalomew]

Hopefully there is a playlist called "Hot 3s" and its nothing but pistols on battle creek.

 

[Devin Olsen]

Wait. Wait. Wait.
How Many shots to kill someone with the pistol.

Also lol my poor pictures. Lost amongst a sea of TU posts.

I am kind of sad that the embargo lifted before the panel:/

 

[Tawpgun]

They have flythroughs of prisoner and timberland as well.

Heh reminds me of H2 days when I'd use it with xbox live friends as a private chat.

 

[Reckoner]

Can someone explain me what do they mean with configurable bloom?

 

[Nollemaster]

Forgeworld should have the same lighting Installation 04 has, it looks way better

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Oh yea. OH YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh damn I don't smoke but I need a cigarette now.

 

[minasodaboy]

awesome. i loved prisoner.

 

[Farooq]

Oh My God.

I am amazed.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Anyone got these up on YouTube yet? Looking but can't find them.

 

[oddworld18]

the art for Prisoner is astonishing. Certain Affinity's art staff continue to flex their muscle.

 

[ZalinKrow]

Sweet the thread is up, nice job with it So much hype right now, I don't think I could survive if I was actually there haha. I'm gonna be busy for the next few hours, can't wait to see how much catching up I'll have to do when I get back

 

[Yager]

The fact that I'm more hyped for the remake of a game that was launched 10 years ago says a lot about how the industry is nowadays. I'm just TOO excited about all this stuff. My god!

 

[Gui_PT]

Ridgeline looks like a great BTB map.

Is it a BTB map?

Prisoner so fucking pretty.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Oh damn, Solitary looks awesome. They knew how to transform a big grey map into something gorgeous.

 

[squidhands]

Installation 04 Flythrough

Ridgeline (Timberlands) flythrough

Solitary (Prisoner) flythrough

EDIT: Chain warthog on Installation 04, cue squidhands bursting in excitement!

fixed for great relevance. This is exactly the space I was hoping it would be. ohgod, hold me. I hope the enemies are scaled way up for this space.

 

[TommyT]

I would imagine it means you can change settings on the amount of bloom occurs when shooting. Can have normal Reach bloom, or less, probably to no bloom.

 

[Tashi]

Wow Prisoner is super sexy. Love the ice and snow.

 

[Barrel Cannon]

I swear 343 are god
They did the impossible.... they fixed armor lock

 

[Primethius]

Prisoner *bow bow*

Marines fighting alongside you sounds awesome too.

 

[Syracuse022]

I can't even handle all of the awesome that's being announced.

Prisoner + Dammy + M6D = Unused Reach discs everywhere.

Also, Marines in Firefight? Do want.

 

[The Henery]

Prisoner looks stunning, so glad they decided to remake that map. One concern - will the patches of snow prevent grenades bouncing? I really hope not.

What are those red things next to the ghost? I've never seen them before.

Nvm, they're just lights

 

[WJD]

God damn this looks good.

 

[Devolution]

Hopefully the nade bouncing will be looked at carefully. Nades get caught on so much random stuff, even on non-forge world maps.

 

[Natiko]

Definitely liking the sounds of the changes to matchmaking with the TU. Hopefully it pans out as well as I'm hoping. Liking the map choices for the pack too, though I would have preferred some Halo 2 maps over some of the ones we're getting.

trip mines are back?

Considering you can use your Reach disc to play Priz and Dammy with the M6D, I doubt it.

 

[Havok]

That Prisoner skybox...holy cow.

 

[ruxtpin]

Um. I don't get to play much Halo, but what is the sword block thing that everyone is talking about and how is it being changed?

 

[Farooq]

It's funny because I remember Bungie saying they added a smooth wall to all surfaces to prevent that from happening.

The behaviour of grenades in Reach are just too odd for my liking.

 

[Pennybags]

Wow, the updated cutscene and MC model in the new 343GS vid look great.

 

[Devolution]

They're especially terrible on Reflection. It's hard wood and yet the nades just stick to the floor.

 

[Havok]

Um. I don't get to play much Halo, but what is the sword block thing that everyone is talking about and how is it being changed?

Perfectly timed melees will prevent a one-hit Sword kill, instead dropping your shields and giving you about half a second of more time. But it's not very consistent, and it doesn't really serve that much of a purpose, so it's out.

 

[Raide]

I wonder if Forge will get ignored again?

 

[The Henery]

Um. I don't get to play much Halo, but what is the sword block thing that everyone is talking about and how is it being changed?

If you time your melee correctly against the first lunge of a sword wielder, you will block its first slash regardless of what weapon you hold. That is being removed so only sword vs sword will clash.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

This one? I recognize the tall guy in the back from PAX last year.

Nice. I was with Halo GAF last year too. Kind of bummed I'm missing PAX this year with Halo Fest and all.

 

[LQX]

Kind of surprised MS did not do a special edition of the 360 console with the game for the 10 year anniversary. Seemed like a no brainer.

 

[erpg]

All they have to do is confirm that they changed the Stockpile achievements, so they can never be back in the playlist, but people can still 1400/1400 Reach!

 

[Tunavi]

Thats a firefight screenshot

Spoiler

TAKE NOTES BUNGIE

 

[Devolution]

Any pics with halogaf please label who is who =).

 

[Tawpgun]

CEA Cutscene at the end.

http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/08/26/halo-anniversary-single-player-walkthrough

Looks like the modified the cutscenes a little in terms of animation and angles.

One disappointment though. Hopefully its not final. But in the Old version a lot of areas had blood and bulletholes everywhere that are absent from CEA graphics...

You can get those in custom games as long as the gametype you are playing on was made by bungie (go into MM get Stockpile, save gametype then get your achievement)
