[feel]

Wait did I miss the panel? Stream is not showing anything for me and you guys are talking about a million new things

 

[Sai-kun]

GUYS. ALL DIS HALO INFORMATION. I CAN'T.

ARMOR LOCK NERF:

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.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

So IGN stream is up but just a banner.

 

[Zoolader]

Wait did I miss the panel? Stream is not showing anything for me and you guys are talking about a million new things

Ahhh where is it?!

 

[Havok]

they mentioned Halo 2

I say Headlong

Or Terminal. We need a decent BTB map.

Yeah, if it's not one of these two (since we know it's not Sidewinder), then BTB is well and truly screwed. I can only play so many rounds only voting for Hemo.

We have two already.

If you're referencing the Forge maps currently in BTB, they're all pretty much awful.

Youtube version of the behind The Scenes video

This video made me excited to play Halo again.

BRACE FOR IMPACT!

 

[The Librarian]

[cory021]

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

*halorgasm*

 

[Pennybags]

I say Headlong

Does "Beaver" creek count as a Halo: CE or 2 map?

Would love Headlong, with a New Alexandria aesthetic though.

 

[Primethius]

That campaign video is godly. Those shadows... *bow*

 

[Hey You]

So IGN stream is up but just a banner.

Oh good, its not just me.

Ahhh where is it?!

[Treythalomew]

Has there been any indication that they were able to do anything about the framerate lag present in certain forgeworld maps and some of the dlc maps? That is basically all that is left from that 343 hasn't mentioned.

 

[squidhands]

I can totally see Prisoner being a jetpack nightmare haha.

Reflection II: Electric Boogaloo

 

[Devolution]

We have two already.

Oh really which ones?

Reflection II: Electric Boogaloo

Laugh of the thread so far, A+.

 

[Cranzor]

Hey guys! How about Backwash for the Halo 2 map!

... Guys?

 

[xxxstylzxxx]

Or Terminal

Turf or Terminal would please me very much.

*crickets*

Spoiler

I actually liked the map, fog and all

Go away.

This is why I was scared of Halo threads on the gaming side..

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Oh good, its not just me.


http://www.ign.com/events/halo/2011/live-video

Nope not just you. Either they're running late or IGN fucked up. My money is on both. lol

 

[The Librarian]

Oh really which ones?

Tempest and Highlands. :/

 

[wwm0nkey]

Turf or Terminal would please me very much.

Turf, Terminal, Relic, Headlong

all of those would be great choices.

 

[Thagomizer]

Timberland remake is sexy.

 

[ZZMitch]

Is the stream not up yet? The IGN one is just black

 

[feel]

This is too much!!!!!!

But seriously, I missed the panel? Can't keep up with all of this!!! ARGH I want to stay glued to the pc all weekend, fuck responsibilities!!

 

[Tawpgun]

HaloGAF, if anyone has capabilities to watch the stream and be on XBL, join my party.

 

[Devolution]

Tempest and Highlands. :/

Tempest isn't even in big team (at least when I'm in there) and Highlands is pretty much joke mode in its current iteration.

 

[Havok]

Tempest and Highlands. :/

Hahaha, as if those would ever show up.



(PS Tempest is too small for 16 people and is wildly overrated anyway)

 

[Tunavi]

Tempest and Highlands. :/

have you EVER played those in BTB?

 

[senador]

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...

That aside, the cutscene and Chief look fucking great! Wow I can't wait to play CE again with the new graphics. I am going to spend so much time swapping and comparing graphics and picking my jaw up off the ground.

 

[Tawpgun]

HALOGAF GET ON HALO PGL. REAL TIME TALKS.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Stream now live. And they're running late. A lot of empty seats.

 

[Oozer3993]

have you EVER played those in BTB?

Why does that matter? He was pointing out two maps currently in the game that work well for BTB. Their occurrence in the BTB playlist is irrelevant to their quality as BTB maps.

P.S. 343 has exquisite taste in pre-panel music.

 

[Loxley]

Looks like IGN's feed is up now, people filling the convention hall.

 

[Sikamikanico]

Stream is now live for me.

 

[wwm0nkey]

stream now live.

I CAN FEEL IT! :lol

 

[blamite]

Oh hey look it's chairs!

HYPE!

 

[Pennybags]

The music, lol.

Oh god, took a turn for the worst. Give me back Phil Collins.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I'm out at lunch so keep me up to date on news please!

Their quality sucks too.

 

[The Henery]

Phil Collins baby!

Man, the anticipation.

 

[thezerofire]

HALOGAF GET ON HALO PGL. REAL TIME TALKS.

what is this?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Their quality sucks too.

Well if you want they can turn the stream off and we can wait to download it via waypoint in 2 or 3 days.

 

[Devin Olsen]

Front row baby

 

[ElzarTheBam]

"it's real hip hooooooooop!"

 

[Sai-kun]

Me after the pistol montage:

cannot cannot cannot WAIT.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Halo 4 info will be saved for sun right?

 

[Havok]

Well if you want they can turn the stream off and we can wait to download it via waypoint in 2 or 3 days.

Pretty sure she was referencing the quality of the maps, not the stream.

 

[Devolution]

Well if you want they can turn the stream off and we can wait to download it via waypoint in 2 or 3 days.

What, I'm talking about BTB maps?

 

[enzo_gt]

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

ANYONE?

 

[The Librarian]

Hahaha, as if those would ever show up.

Hopefully by time of Anniversary BTB will be DLC required so we can get the (relatively) good maps. I don't think I'd have too much of a problem with Tempest in 8v8. 6v6 is perfect for it, but there aren't that many 6v6 playlists. :/

have you EVER played those in BTB?

Maybe once or twice sadly. But that's it, sadly.
