That was you guys? Thanks anyways for the vids you did put out from Gamescom. Was crazy seeing what 1080p/60fps footage actually looked like for Halo.

Lockout looks pretty good although I wish I didnt see that gif.. I also agree that some decent forge makes will have to be in MM for H2A just to break up the map play & prevent fatigue of the game. I know there are 4 other halo games in there but none of them will be as polished as H2A Imo.
I've changed my mind, the orange actually looks really good in this. I'm living contrast between inside and outside.

H2A looks so damn good. Like others have said, I hope they go above and beyond with Forge so the MP has longer legs.
Just keep watching the Lockout video, now tell me why, in any way, is sprint needed in Halo? The fast movement speed is great. How would sprint benefit in any way? My only gripe now would be to grenade indicators, damage indicators that clutter the screen in a sense, and the old H4 bland medals.

Is there a 60fps download for the Lockdown B-roll?

Seeeeriously.
And I'm willing to bet that the grenade indicators, hit markers, medals, and Steitzer voice are just placeholder.

Not biased at all mate
of course no sprint works for small maps like Lockout. totally happy with the setup too. That said, now show me a big map with Halo vehicles and 4v4, 5v5 or 8v8 and tell me sprint doesn't suit. Especially if loadout plasma pistol and stickies are removed.Apples and oranges.
From what I've played so far, the bold parts actually are very good and healthy changes (I am saying that as someone who spend many hundreds of hours in Halo 2).
I take that bet, I say grenade indicators and hitmarkers will stay 100%

Man that snow and ice on lockout leaves a lot to be desired sometimes. Pretty darn iffy.
Seattle/Washington gets snow sometimes right? It's not all just rain?
Very few games actually get snow correct.

Lockout looks like a blast, and visually it looks better in motion.. but it's still far too orange, and it lacks that cold, desolate and mysterious atmosphere of the original. I just loved the way the Lockout looked and felt.. I just think this needs another art pass, blue it up a little. Maybe add some fog, or an icy mist. Something.
All I am saying is new Lockout needs to be like Tobias and blue itself.

Why is everyone so excited about the ice above BR3? Good players will just shoot it down from a safe distance before locking it down.
Yah. Pretty dull as far as these interactive elements go

That German amazon deal is so tempting, but I'm 99% sure the german version of the MCC will only be in german. Fuck that. :'(
Not in H2A, but can you do this in OG Halo 2?!
Lol Reach Babby confirmed.
stinkles was the white balance off in those screencaps because:
the non-orange one looks so good
This reminds me of the breaking bad gif where they put an orange filter over a picture of walt in the desert, the normal being Albuqurque, the latter being Mexico. Lockout, Lockout in Mexico.

No snow in Texas (Certain Affinity).
Really wish more weapons were on map in BTB. No love for the Gravity Hammer at all.
Boot system needs to be updated to include killing blows as well. Been killed 3 times by one guy in this game but I can't boot because he's waiting for me to be weakened a lot before popping me.

For some of the close quarter areas on maps it would be a nice addition. Most of the time it's just AR's and grenades.
Or for some idiotic reason Fuel Rod Cannons.

So guys, about that 1080p/60fps footage...
They're not fun when you're on the receiving end of them.
Can't wait to play Anniversary. Lockout looks lovely. 1 more sleeps.
The recent Reclaimer Radio was cool guys. Keep it up.
That helmet was huge on you Frankie. Look forward to seeing the final build.
So many ice buckets. Such cold. Much charity. Awareness is great.
The designs in Halo Wars are some of the best in the series imo. Even some of Halo 4 was really good like the floating pillars (that reveal when you're leaving the wreckage on Requiem was beautiful and easily the most memorable moment for me from Halo 4). Halo 3 was a great example of less is more though in terms of design.
The mystery was one of my favorite parts about them. Bungie did a great job giving hints and small bits of info while also keeping it interesting. I think the return of the Forerunners could have worked if 343 had paced it better. Instead it felt rushed and completely out of the blue.
I never much cared for predestined bullshit. Not that it can't be done well but in this case it just takes away from what the characters have done when some random dead person basically claims they are the responsible for all that is. All according to plan you saps.
I'm still hoping to see these designs return

While I don't think everything should be moss covered and overgrown, I think that having everything be pristine and untouched is boring. There needs to be contrast. It'd be cool to see areas that look ancient. Like there's a story to be told in these ruins. Not that they need to be all falling apart but just having some variety would be good.

I just want maps to have weather effects on them. I was playing Orion Prelude the other day and I was surprised when it started raining. So beautiful...
It'd be nice to see Forerunners that don't act like humanity pissed in the Mantle.

That's a sweet deal. I'd go for it.

Why does November have to be so far away....:/
Time is an illusion. You only think it's really far away.

I only think it's far away because it's not September nor is it October, let alone November...lol sigh
Well maybe not down there, but I live in Amarillo Texas and we get snowed in at least once a year. And it snows regularly November through February. Texas is a big state. I'd post a pretty funny picture of last winter but I don't know how..

Levelution.
But seriously, dynamic maps are cool.

So good. PAX starts today! Time to get some MCC gaming in...
Bungie and 343 should have used that to evolve the game rather than Armor Abilities. It also leads to very cool and interesting map flow and awareness.
If they do this for Halo 5, I'm in on day 1.

Going to get breakfast (Lox, of course) and then it'll be PAX time.
You lucky SOB.
