Look at this character.

 

[IHaveIce]

why are they wearing suits? *sigh*

halo is serious business...

Lol Gandhi got fucked.

 

[Heretic]

duped!

 

[belushy]

Lol Gandhi got fucked.

Gandhi doesn't cast anymore, he got a job as eSports coordinator (I think that is the position) at Hirez for Smite.

edit: This happened last week I think, he casted his last event (for now) over the weekend at UMG Dallas.

edit: Googled to make sure I was right and he actually will be a commentator. Don't know why I thought he was a "coordinator" lol

So the guy who always talked about how he would never sell himself out to be a caster for a game he has no knowledge now commentates smite which he always trashed when AGL wanted to push it alongside Halo.


Lol this guy.

Nice vid, ExWife. You literally just edited it right? Because the Frankie helmet photo was in there. I wonder how Biggy got the Wraith stuck in the ground like that though.

No Puckett? Preorder canceled.

 

[Dopus]

I'm sure it has been addressed, but does anyone know if Halo 4 will have theatre mode?

If the original game didn't have it, it won't be in MCC either.

I was actually in the final stages of editing and I saw the picture and had to put it in.

As for the wraith, we were playing on a crazy bad Australian host and I guess the latency somehow forced the wraith into the ground's geometry. It was insane. It forced the entire match to run at like 8 fps until it gets destroyed and goes back up to 30fps. Likely due to the game trying to figure out what the hell to do.

Props for the Plinkett lines.

Plinkett is love. Plinkett is life.

 

[TheOddOne]

Read Silentium.

I'm not excited about this new series but I'll buy them because I'm weak. Can't be much worse than the KFT.

Maybe down the line, but the second book soured me too much.

Thursday War or Mortal Dictata?

Either way you didn't lose much.

I'm pretty darn hyped for Broken Circle. Like the author and love the idea of the book.

Totally forgot about Mortal Dictata, I guess I skipped three books.

Silentium was pretty good. Mortal Dictata however, couldn't get past the first third of the book.

Just started Silentium after (after multiple attempts) giving up on on Primordium. Ended up just reading the plot summary on Halopedia. Haven't even started the Kilo Five trilogy.

Tony Soprano needs to walk up to ghostayame, rip off his hat, and smack him up the side of the head with the headphones then walk away.

I'd take Gandhi over Alex. But that's just preference of caster style really.

 

[ultimota]

those 3 lockout screenshots are damn sexy

Last remade map for Halo 2 Anniversary is Lockout:

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/check-out-halo-master-chief-collections-remastered/1100-6421959/

Got a Haven kind of feel to it. I like it.

• Sanctuary
• Zanzibar
• Coagulation
• Ascension
• Lockout
• Terminal, Waterworks or Containment?

 

[Poodlestrike]

Last remade map for Halo 2 Anniversary is Lockout:

Still one more to go, right?

 

[jem0208]

Those shots look really... blurry?


I'm hoping it's the screenshot rather than the map but for some reason it looks really bad to me. Art style wise it looks pretty good though.

 

[Akai__]

My bad. I edited my post.

Lol I was thinking the same thing . I was a little confused lol

The map looks so awesome

 

[link1201]

Man, can't wait to see some tournament footage of the new Lockout.

Spoiler

I am still holding out hope for Containment to be the last map.

 

[Madness]

Don't really like the lighting/tint. Seems a bit too dark, but need to see it in action.

 

[m23]

Is the tournament going to have this map in rotation? I'd love to see some other maps aside from ascension and sanctuary in action.

 

[Havok]

Looks like they're screengrabs from a video, not native captures. They aren't full-resolution, either - 1280x720, which also points to them being from video.

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

Corner of elbow got enlarged quite a lot.

 

[Ragnarok Flames]

They also gave elbow cover.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Hope we get some high res non compressed shots soon, the map looks great.
I also hope we finally get to see Coag at the PAX panel. After that we will just have to wait for whenever they decide to reveal the final map, maybe sometime in October?

 

[DopeyFish]

new kids are gonna be confused as shit when we say green room now

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

I'll just call it shotgun. The green tone in some of the room looks cool as hell though.

[Mistel]

Next remade map for Halo 2 Anniversary is Lockout:

I thought it would look a bit more industrial myself looks a bit shiny like Haven.

 

[Vico]

Sanctuary and Ascension look better.
But I guess that doesn't really matter.

 

[IHaveIce]

Looks awesome.. though we still have no screenshot of Coagulation .. only concept art, is the map making trouble? Or is it vecause it is a forge world

 

[DopeyFish]

Sanctuary and Ascension look better.
But I guess that doesn't really matter.

at least from what we see, the map wasn't destroyed like blackout

so for me i don't really care :>

Still looks blurry, hope that's Gamespot's fault.

 

[DopeyFish]

it should be... look at the top of green room and the details lost

 

[Der Flatulator]

Yeah I don't think it'd be a huge leap to say forge reveal with Coag and Lockout playable at PAX, right?

 

[The Librarian]

I love the look of green room.

 

[squidhands]

Still looks blurry, hope that's Gamespot's fault.

probably due to how the set up the images to wipe from old H2 to new.

edit: I would also be totally cool with Containment as the last big map. Never felt like I got to play that map enough.
