Man, everyone knows that if 343 just copy pasta Lockout from Halo 2 even with no textures changed people will be happy.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Certain Affinity was working on Timberland remake when doing Hang Em High for and the other for Halo 2 but it didn't make the cut then.

Beach Landing was considered for Firefight.

 

[The Lamonster]

Headlong looks fucking fantastic.

 

[Red_Man]

Forerunners could definitely be interesting enemies if done with some character, as long as they aren't like the shit sentinels in the other games....I love halo as much as the next guy but the Sentinels were pretty terrible enemies, no personality whatsoever and fighting them was not fun at all.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

ODST's will respawn when reinforcements happen. Easter Eggs of course included in the maps.

 

[Zoolader]

ridgeline looks amazing!

 

[Blue Ninja]

Fuck it, I'm sick of the player constantly buffering. I'll just wait for you guys to tell me what's new.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Interesting planning for the TU started before Reach even shipped at 343. Loving watching the ODSTs go at it with the covies on the firefight map.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

BTW guys Arthur from IGN wanted me to pass this along.

@ThePsychoRaven I can't get on wireless in the fest theater, so please let people know to tweet me if there's a stream problem.

They're also saying in panel that play the beta hoppers and post feedback in the waypoint forums. www.halowaypoint.com/tu

Now going to Q&A.

 

[Natiko]

TU stuff isn't user configurable..makes me worry that a lot of the broken shit with custom games won't be fixed

There are only certain instances that cannot be configured at the user end. Most of it will be available through gametype setting.

 

[les papillons sexuels]

so forge is back for halo 4?

IGN's stream's been perfect so far.

 

[MrBig]

There was tearing in the broll footage but everything else is fine.

 

[feel]

Just got home.

Stream still unwatchable for me with the buffering and autosyncing.

Please keep posting everything that's happening guys!

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Nice someone asking if adding the Plasma rifles stun was ever considered to come back in TU and it was on the list but did not make it. Oh hell yea might be very little to no DMR in classic. Woot Woot

Have they said anything regarding stuff like juggernaut being broken?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Have they said anything regarding stuff like juggernaut being broken?

Not yet. Much better forge support for these maps. larger palette.

Oh god the kid again that asks stupid questions.

Will you fix assasignation lag aka the animation canceling of it.

 

[Vire]

Finally a decent question.

Thank you for asking that about the DLC!

 

[Devolution]

Late to the party, that music god damn, love it. Also Halo 4, big concept art book, DO IT 343.

 

[Quicksilver4648]

Oh dear god Q&A.
14 year old kid: "Will you fix assassinations?" in the highest voice ever.

 

[feel]

Finally a decent question.

Thank you for asking that about the DLC!

Argh what??

What was it??

 

[wwm0nkey]

might be new DLC and might be another TU if there is enough resources.....nice

Also new armor is possible, just hard lol

 

[Gui_PT]

"I want to watch the full assassination animation when I assassinate someone. Sometimes the assassination animation animation stops halfway through. WILL YOU FIX THAT?!?"

:lol :lol

 

[Primethius]

Argh what??

What was it??

When will the DLC come out for people who don't have Anniversary?

No confirmed date but very soon after Anniversaries release.

 

[clashfan]

Anyone just getting audio with no video?

 

[Vire]

Argh what??

What was it??

They said that the Halo CEA Maps will be available as DLC nearly right after Halo CEA launches. Which is good news for me since I didn't want the campaign.

 

[Natiko]

Argh what??

What was it??

The maps will be out as DLC for Reach "not long at all" after launch of Anniversary.

Edit: Beaten very badly.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Very nice philosophy on how they handled the aesthetics of the maps. The more simple it was the more they improved and updated the look. The more detailed it was the more they tried to keep it true to the original look wise.

Now asking if they ever thought about firefight map with flood.

They knew Bungie was thinking about it and they were indeed thinking about it too and it would be awesome to do.

 

[Farooq]

Please have some questions about movement, vehicles, and grenades.

 

[Natiko]

Still seem to be a little sly about Hang Em High. I wonder why that might be...

 

[The Librarian]

MP achievements for Anniversary.

 

[Natiko]

MP achievements for Anniversary.

Fixed.

 

[The Librarian]

Fixed.

Absolutely not. MP achievements are never fun. Especially the ones we've gotten.

 

[Woorloog]

MP achievements for Anniversary.

 

[Gui_PT]

MP achievements for Anniversary.

Get a Triple Kill from the Grave.

 

[Natiko]

Absolutely not. MP achievements are never fun. Especially the ones we've gotten.

I haven't had a problem with any of the Reach ones. Some of the Halo 3 ones were fucked but I've enjoyed the Reach ones.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Good question about bloom and how that may hurt the other weapons. AYE AYE AYE

Can you do assassinations in campaign? GRRRR

 

[Syphon Filter]

Absolutely not. MP achievements are never fun. Especially the ones we've gotten.

 

[blamite]

Absolutely not. MP achievements are never fun. Especially the ones we've gotten.

At least they realized that the Defiant Achievements weren't great. >.>

 

[Woorloog]

I haven't had a problem with any of the Reach ones. Some of the Halo 3 ones were fucked but I've enjoyed the Reach ones.

Stockpile ones are impossible. I don't get Stockpile matches, and if i do (i can't remember the last time anymore), my team mates run around like headless chickenes and kill themselves and quit.

 

[Nollemaster]

Assassinations in campaign? Dumbest question to date

 

[Slightly Live]

Multiplayer panel, campaign questions. LOL.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Multiplayer panel, campaign questions. LOL.

I called it didn't I?

 

[Blue Ninja]

At least they realized that the Defiant Achievements weren't great. >.>

But they were easy. Just download the matchmaking gametypes and you could do them in Customs. :lol

 

[Voltron64]

Assassinations in campaign? Dumbest question to date

Of all the things he could ask...assasinations in CEA. LOL.

 

[Zoolader]

So they still aren't ready to talk about Hang 'em High or Headlong? WUT?!?

 

[Natiko]

Stockpile ones are impossible. I don't get Stockpile matches, and if i do (i can't remember the last time anymore), my team mates run around like headless chickenes and kill themselves and quit.

I got all of them literally within a few days of them coming out and the only one I had to try for was stealing flags out of the enemy capture zone. Got the other stockpile one on accident with my friends lol

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Oh god. MLG guy who asked question that makes no sense. Why doesn't Anniversary have online play?

Anniversary has online dumbshit!!!

 

[Devolution]

No, he's right. Multiplayer achievements and even badly thought of challenges have a way of adversely affecting the game.

Oh god. MLG guy who asked question that makes no sense. Anniversary has online dumbshit!!!

Seriously these game panels need question screeners.
