Well, whenever I need a break from Gears, I know what game I'll be getting back into.

DAT PISTOL MONTAGE HOLY FUCK

Solitary is GORGEOUS.

 

[The Librarian]

Installation 04 Flythrough

I04 FF map is glorious. Mancannons!

 

[erpg]

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)

I thought that was only for the Defiant achievements?

 

[Cranzor]

That video was awesome. I think I am most excited for Beaver Creek but Prisoner looks so good. The pistol looked very cool too, can't wait for this.

 

[Havok]

I thought that was only for the Defiant achievements?

This is accurate.

Youtube version of the behind The Scenes video

This video made me excited to play Halo again.

 

[Tunavi]

3 HEADSHOTS WITH THE PISTOL IS A KILL. DO YOU HEAR ME

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Damn it, 343i! Why are you modifying my Armor Lock?! It's been perfect since day one.

Thanks dude!

Leave.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Holy shit, its all happening so fast!

Prisoner looks amazing. Also, I wonder if it has a tie in story wise with either Cryptum and/or Halo 4

 

[Phatcorns]

DAT PISTOL MONTAGE HOLY FUCK

WHAT PISTOL MONTAGE, POST A GOD DAMN LINK, MY BODY IS READY!

 

[Syphon Filter]

That helmet looks like shit compared to the regular chief helmet, I hope they don't ruin the chiefs looks in Halo 4.

 

[Vire]

I don't really agree with their choice of maps besides Beaver Creak and Prisoner..

Sidewinder, Derelict, Wizard, Rat Race, Blood Gulch (proper blood gulch, non forged) are all much better maps.

But the title update news is welcomed.

[erpg]

Oh my God these flythroughs. Why can't I be at HaloFest.

 

[enzo_gt]

Can someone sum up the news thus far for a brother at work who can't stream it? Pretty please?

 

[xxxstylzxxx]

Damn it, 343i! Why are you modifying my Armor Lock?! It's been perfect since day one.

Yeah I think you would be in the extreme minority on this one sir ;P

Has any of the footage of the TSK pistol confirmed whether or not it has a scope? Just wondering because I haven't noticed it up to this point.

 

[Devolution]

I can totally see Prisoner being a jetpack nightmare haha.

It is over. Let's go home ladies and gentlemen, let's go home.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Leave.

Come on, the change is a little drastic.

I can understand the damage bleeding into the AA meter. But removing the ability to unstick plasma grenades when locked!? Absurd.

They're only remaking ones that haven't appeared on 360 before, so that's no Blood Gulch and Sidewinder

 

[Havok]

Spartan Laser spawns on default Ridgeline.

Preorder canceled, magazine racks knocked over, etc.

Come on, the change is a little drastic.

The change is how it should have been initially.

 

[Pennybags]

Nice to see an armed Pelican on Installation 04 during the last seconds of the behind-the-scenes.

TOOK MY IDEA I DEMAND ROYALTIES

 

[cory021]

Ok, these maps look beautiful. I can't wait to play on Ridgeline and Installation 04. And Prisoner looks gorgeous as well.

And the Title Update. I can't wait.

I wasn't planning to buy CE on day one, but all this Halofest information is really making me reconsider that now.

 

[XxCGSxX]

Oh MY GAWD!!! I can play this maps without armor abilities and with original halo powerups? AND THE CE PISTOL???!?!? I LOVE YOU 343

 

[Vire]

Have they answered if these playlists/maps will be available to Reach owners as DLC?

 

[Devolution]

Not absurd at all. It was absurd that people could shrug them off by going into it in the first place. Nothing like getting an awesome stick only to watch some douche just AL it off. If there is one thing this game needs less of, it's these cheating death tactics.

 

[feel]

Got home!!! Just in time for the panel

jizzing at Prisoner and rest of the stuff I had missed

 

[AlphaTwo00]

hows the line over there? the main hall is packed

 

[Havok]

At some point down the line, not at launch. There will be a way to export the maps from CEA to Reach for use with the Reach disc day and date, though.

Drastic as opposed to most wanting it completely gone from MP across the board? You probably should be thanking 343 for actually keeping it the game at some capacity.

Whoa dude TMI. Hope you got enough tissues handy though.

 

[Barrel Cannon]

Did notice Private Jenkins name on the back of his helmet when chief picked it up during the cutscene. Amazing attention to detail from 343. I swear the level reminds me of Pandora from Avatar now. It's like I'm watching an old disney movie that I loved in my childhood after a long time but in HD.

 

[Farooq]

Recap of maps revealed for Halo CEA.

Beaver Creek
Damnation
Hang em High

Thanks for this, I hope they can clarify when exactly - but I'm really looking forward to it.

Prisoner looks great.

 

[Karl2177]

On the Behind the Scenes video on a whiteboard, it says Headlong.

*halorgasm*

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Frankie, I love you.

Im still holding out hope that something will be done to the player inertia system, but right now everything seems amazing. I am actually excited for Halo again!

[exYle]

Good lord... PRAISE 343!

 

[wwm0nkey]

they mentioned Halo 2

I say Headlong

 

[RepairmanJack]

Wow, I think I will actually have to get back into Halo after this. I like what 343 is doing so far, especcially the beta hoppers and two versions of the maps.

 

[Devolution]

they mentioned Halo 2

I say Headlong

Or Terminal. We need a decent BTB map.

 

[Calm Killer]

I would love that. Hope so!
