Do you just think of tunes and sound them out usually or do you actually write them down and compose it later?
I think babies must be on some kind of drug. They just stop producing it naturally when they get older.

It's a mix of improvisational digital production and prepared recordings. On a technical level, it's shooting to be somewhere between ODST, Reach and Wars. Slightly leaning towards Wars.
I guess that explains why you're able to spot the "artificial" sounds in Marty's tracks so easily. I'm replaying Wars right now and the soundtrack really is great so it'll be cool to see how you integrated them (if that's the right word).
Stream is starting - http://www.twitch.tv/xbox

Go away Zoolader...
Steam's still offline for me. ;(
Same, this is fun.
Pretty sure the dude in charge of this forgot to turn on the camera.
You had to embarrass me in front of all of the cool people in the stream.

Don't worry, I'm temp chat banned for saying "Holy shit" because I recognized a guy from halo 2 like 10 years ago...
Thanks, Xbox :/
wtf do they have active moderators right now?
The stream isn't even going and the chat is being moderated, lmao
I'd wager that they're just saving a Halo bundle for Halo 5. No use having four bundles out at onceHow about you give us a Halo bundle?
MS: CALL OF DUTY?
No, I rather have a Halo bundle.
MS: CALL.. OF.. DUTY?
Halo!
MS: C-A-L-L OF D-U-T-Y?

I think Halo 2 matches.
I think that's different.
Supposedly this is more about news, since it is what's shown behind closed-doors at Gamescom.

Loads Twitch on iPhone 5 then searches "xbox" and gets no xbox channel or stream search results. Same issue last night. Once the stream was going xbox got on the front app page, only way I could find the stream. Ugh!
Same with X360.
Well I want to know how streaming works through it, everything is fine

I was waiting for the inevitable AssFartsLicker GT.
Can you imagine the wait time in every hopper of Halo 4 if they had strict Trueskill matchmaking parameters? Every gametype would have wait times similar to Arena in Halo Reach.
It's not Trueskill that is to blame - it's population size. And that is due to a whole host of reasons.
Dammit, I was up, and yet I missed it. What did they show during the stream?
Also, those of you with Kinects, would you say they've been worth it? I'm very heavily leaning towards the Sunset Overdrive bundle now that there is no MCC one. I kind of feel like I should've just bought those titanfall Kinect bundles when they were going for $419-$449 a few months back.

They went through some of the Halo channel stuff. Seems pretty cool. Then they did a quick 5 minute demo of Delta Halo. Didn't miss all that much really.
As for Kinect, depends really. I use it a lot when watching TV or Netflix. It's pretty awesome that it can turn my TV and my TV box on and off. However the system is perfectly usable without Kinect. You won't be able to use "Xbox; Record that" though.

If it were in a playlist that didn't have multiple thousands of players, I might agree. But this is just stupid.

I use mine a lot. Saying "Xbox On" and my TV, surround sound, cable box, and Xbox are all turned on. Pretty darn nice. Same thing for turning it off.
Switching from one app to another is pretty nice with it. You don't have to go searching through menus or pin it to your home screen, I can just get sick of playing TitanFall and tell Xbox to go to Netflix or Amazon Instant Video or whatever.
Changing the channels for TV is really nice. For example "Xbox watch ABC Family" and it turns it right to it, regardless of what channel number it is. Mine also automatically goes to the HD version of the channel so I don't have to worry either.
Gameplay wise, though, it does not add much at all. I know my gf used it for Tomb Raider because just calling out what weapon you wanted would change it in game, and I use it for recording cool stuff in my games, but otherwise I don't use it much for actual gameplay.
Kind of up to you. It's good for all the other non-game stuff but is quite lacking when it actually comes to games.
Ohh...
I can find 2 games in Halo 3 ranked, before I find a game in Halo 4, so there is that...

Wow. Really? That makes me glad I didn't stay up or wake up 3 hours early for it. Expected something more substantial based off the way it was worded.
It comes down to personal preference. I like using it for things like recording, watching tv and snapping stuff. If I didn't have one now it would be weird. I guess it depends on if you'd use the voice commands, because they can be a lot faster than controller input for some things.

Blue Team to Possibly be In Halo 5: Guardians
They seem to have modeled Fred's armor in the Halo 5 MP Beta Vidoc.

Back in high school when I was more into the fiction/story aspect of Halo I always wanted this to happen. I wouldn't be as hyped now but Blue Team being in the game would still be pretty cool.
It's crazy how close the aesthetic of that level is to the original. Seems like Saber aren't really stylising everything to the point that they did in CEA.
Not sure if I prefer it that way or not. At the very least I'd like to have seen weather effects or something applied to a few levels. That area on Delta Halo would look great with some volumetric fog for example
It looks like it's got a focus rifle style bits on it to me. It doesn't look that bad actually.

The small mountain with all the foliage on it looks REALLY good considering the geometry running underneath it. I love the campaign aesthetics, but I still feel like multiplayer looks too much like Halo 4. Sanctuary is gorgeous though.
