Will H2A multiplayer attempt to mimic Halo 2's gameplay with little twists here and there, or will it be a totally new flavor that just uses Halo 2 maps? I can't remember if this has been clarified or not.

Appears to be a mix of both.

Another question: what are you favorite objective gametypes in Halo CE? Are there any gametypes that CE does better than the other games?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Not sure if archived. We will endeavor to make whatever we show publicly available.

Is it worth staying up late for?

Ymmv but I would.

If I didn't have to work this week I certainly probably would. But I'm starting back to the ol community college to get my associates and between work and classes that's a huge no no.

 

[User 73706]

More like drei oder vier. Ja klar? Ganz gut.

Halo 5 is taking emphasis on 3's gameplay over 4's confirmed?

Another question: what are you favorite objective gametypes in Halo CE? Are there any gametypes that CE does better than the other games?

Oddball Shotty-Rockets on Chiron was pretty great. I don't know if any of the gametypes in CE weren't improved upon in future titles, though.

CTF. Longest. Shit's a clusterfuck of fun and frustration.

CE ctf. Blood Gulch. The exit-vehicle rubber band physics. Aw yiss. More missile than driver.

Campaign (&MP for CEA + H2A theater mode) in mcc plz

Spectre in H2A Multiplayer pls

 

[ArchedThunder]

How many schlafens till moderate to severe hype?

That makes it sound like I have to put ointment on my joints for this.

Ooh, fun fact for the halomusiciangaffers here: looks like Marty uses Native Instruments FM8 to some degree. Go check out FM8's Product page and listen to Demo Tracks Vol. II (it'll give you an error message or two but still load afterwards), particularly track 6 - Eight Dogs.

Now listen to Long Night of Solace suite.

I swear to god, synth is fucking black magic to me.

Everything about CE vehicle physics is just the worst in the best kind of way. Whether you're running 150 mph into an opponent, or lovetapping a teammate, the effect is always the same: merciless obliteration.

This is very true. Rip other vidya games.

You should include the rest of the post where he laments the Wii U's lack of multiplats

Are you saying he's wrong?

He is. So, so much.

You know you're quoting Speedy, right?

 

[Omni]

They pulled out Cairo station for E3 and RTX. I imagine it may be another mission if it's along those lines.

It would be cool to see that first Arbiter mission

Or at least part of it

 

[TheOddOne]

Yep, but didn't want to keep the kid hanging.

As soon as their plane took off i opened a Bing Translate tab and set it to German <> English. Have a feeling it's going to get a good workout this week.

 

[belushy]

Wonder if we'll get an Arbiter level...

 

[El_Chino]

I'd stay up too.

Looking forward to it.

 

[Buwx]

This would actually make me really happy. I'd like to some elites in-game for Halo 2: Anniversary; mostly because I want to see what armor they're using. None of the Cairo Station gameplay videos give a clear shot at the Elites... But it looks like they're wearing Halo 4 storm armor. If this is the case, I am most unhappy.

 

[Madness]

So it's 5am for West coast of Tuesday, and 2am on Wednesday?

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Personally, I think the writing is somewhere between "decent" and "good," but damn that art is terrible.

I don't think they are setting up

Spoiler

Halo Wars 2

with it, I think that instead they are

Spoiler

setting up the return of the Flood in Halo 5 or 6.

Yeah, I just love how they connect the pieces, especially when I know what those pieces are lol. And I agree with

Spoiler

what they're probably setting up, but Halo Wars 2 has to happen at some point ;'[

As aforementioned, appears to be a mix of both. I'm really looking forward to what this offers considering this is what many of us thought would be the only thing released.

CE ctf. Blood Gulch. The exit-vehicle rubber band physics. Aw yiss. More missile than driver.

That would be 4 XBONES. 1440p is 4x 720p.

Oh shit yeah...

It was 12am when I posted today so I was tired :3

 

[jem0208]

Hey! That's me!!

I'm totally famous!



I was kinda trying to prove the point of opinions but ya know, oh well.




Also, you say it's ridiculous but I'm being somewhat serious. There are very few exclusives that I regularly play and enjoy. Halo and Forza about sums it up, and I only occasionally play Forza.

Nintendo exclusives just don't interest me. I dislike the Mario style of platforming, both the 2D and 3D varients. Mario Kart is fun with friends but I'd much rather play a sim style racer like Forza. Don't really like fighters so Smash just bores me. Zelda is one which interests me slightly more, however none of the games ever really grabbed me. And then I'd much rather play something like Skyrim or the Witcher. Pokemon just bores me to tears.

I'm not saying they're bad games, just that I don't like them.

Halo is a game I like, far more than most other games. I still play 4 more than pretty much all my other games. Even though its arguably the worst in the series. It's still better than all the other games I play.

I was being a little hyperbolic though as I haven't actually played most exclusives.

I thought the linked post of yours sounded a little sarcastic. I need to stop frequenting xbox one related threads. All they do is annoy me when the sony fap fest gets going, which is usually from the first post.

EDIT:

Also, you say it's ridiculous but I'm honestly telling the truth. There are very few exclusives that I regularly play and enjoy. Halo and Forza about sums it up, and I only occasionally play Forza.

Nothing wrong with personally liking a game more than others, but it's dangerous to come out and make a blanket statement about the games you like being better than all Nintendo 1st party games. Nintendo exclusives are pretty dang solid. You need to word it better so people know it's your preference/opinion.

That was kinda the point. The post I was replying to said something like "can't seriously see how anyone would see more value in an X1" and "no worthwhile exclusives on the X1"

I just responded in kind.


I do prefer Halo, the post was just meant to be a somewhat hyperbolic response to a very hyperbolic post.





Edit: I actually did put something about opinions First three words of my post were:

Obviously opinions ahead but I see next to no value in a Wii U. It doesn't just have slightly worse multiplats, it has next to no multiplats. None of the exclusives really interest me beyond a passing glance. The game pad is kinda cool but useless if I have no games to play on it.

So many people rag on the X1 having slightly worse multiplats yet so many defend the Wii U with its apparent lack of any multiplats.

Also as others have said, Nintendo games (or any other exclusives really) have nothing on Halo.

Anyway, this isn't all that relative to Halo.

So excited for tomorrow.

So excited for tomorrow.

Yeah, me too. Finally some gameplay that isn't just a minute on Ascension, and the map to be revealed for play is probably Lockout.

It's probably not the campaign level they would choose to show off, but I hope we see the level Uprising. It was one of the more fun levels and had a nice environment, both interior and exterior were nice.

I'd assume they might just show off Outskirts or Metropolis if they don't wanna spoil Delta Halo for us.

(Or there's the Arbiter? But I don't think they'd show a mission with Arby as the playable character.)
