You sound like a bad cartoon villain. "Teenage Mutant STUPID Turtles."
Yup, 11am Pacific. I'm gonna miss most of the stream. :-(

It'll be available afterwards, I'm sure. Just avoid this place and online in general so you're not spoiled.

I'm pretty spoiler sensitive, but not when it comes to news + announcements.
Oh, for sure. I'm just hoping there's a Halo 2-only Team Hardcore playlist and enough people playing it that I can just camp out there.
Also, Frankie, can we get an official "there will be no Halo-themed Xbox One console released this year" statement if that is in fact the case? I'd like to be able to buy my Xbox One ASAP instead of waiting and holding out hope for a Halo bundle if it's not gonna happen.

In other news, looks like MS don't even know themselves whether that Amazon deal has the game or not. I think I'll just wait for a bundle here, even if that means I won't be getting Destiny.

You know, except all those flood infected dudes in tubes...
That's the exact same map description/lore that was in the original Halo 2.

Now 343i needs to out the power weapons in the layout and now you have gears of wars 2,3 loading maps screens

Doesn't make it any less silly considering the new coat of paint. They probably should have changed it. Oh well, not a huge deal.

Wasn't disagreeing with you on the 'silliness' factor.
I'm of the opinion that the H2A maps should have updated map descriptors, but I don't think it's really an issue if they don't.

This needs to be in Halo 5. So needs to be in Halo 5.
Also in a spectator mode

I missed the Halo 1 LAN era. I can't wait to try out Halo 1 online.

I missed 95% of it. It took me forever to get used to dual analog controls, so it was hard for me to participate early on. And then I didn't get an Xbox till just a few months before Halo 2. I played the hell out of Halo 1 campaign, but barely touched the multi. Can't wait to change that.

Like all things great in gameplay, Halo CE already has you covered:

Damn, it's like they read my mind. Gears style layouts, were they could even highlight power weapon spawns is what I said was an option for those who say it's hard for newcomers to learn spawn areas and why global ordnance was a good thing.
Though I'd have also added a separate "help" area where they could go and study them before jumping into matchmaking. Even then, it's semantics. Did anyone honestly have trouble beyond the first day knowing where things are? I also can't be the only one who jumped into forge, or custom mode and ran through maps alone to learn jumps, placements etc.

You're welcome.
Its all about actually putting a bit of time to learn the game.

I think everything we know about H2AMP so far as far as clarity with regards to map control is how they should keep things in the future. I like the idea of having a nominal visual outline of the map up on the loading screen but without displaying weapon spawns - while, in-game, weapon spawns are indicated by an abstract little shape that hovers above the spawn point even when nothing's there, in which case the weapon indicator has an X plastered over it, iirc. It seems like a really smart way to get players to get a feel for routing and the overall scale of said map, while also teaching them weapon spawns to a degree. To learn what weapons actually spawn there (which could vary on a per-gametype or forge variant basis in the first place), they actually have to wait around to see what weapon spawns or be fortunate enough to come across the spawn uncontested. All in all, I feel like it's a really good way to keep a skill curve intact while still giving new players enough encouragement and motivation to keep tabs on all of the spawns.

I gotta say, I'm really liking the way 343 has showed off TMCC. Much better than the way they showed off Halo 4.
