Hmmm. Have we heard a preview yet?
So there is some new super-virus that kills humans that Locke and the team in Nightfall investigate and they need to find Chief because whatever the Librarian did to him, gives him the cure/immunity, just like it did when he was almost composed?
They have to handle Locke much better than Palmer. If they push him too hard as a replacement for Chief, or make him too anti-Chief early on, a lot of fans wouldn't like it. He needs to be like Dom to Marcus Fenix. One benefit is that, like Lasky, just having him be the star and get to know him before he's introduced into the game will create a greater likeability factor.

Skip to the audio parts after Kiki speaks about Nightfall etc.

I don't think i ever claimed it being hard scifi. Quite the opposite. Halo is soft scifi because it has what basically amounts to magic, and quite a lot of it. Not a bad thing necessarily, space opera is a fun genre. But even soft scifi should be consistent, especially with itself, and with real world unless otherwise noted. (If someone gets impression i don't like soft scifi, that is because soft scifi is too often badly thought out, badly written, its potential unrealized, and those things bother me quite a lot.)

Chief doesn't seem to be a part of Nightfall; Locke's not even an SIV yet. It's more of an origin story. No guarantee that the events will lead into Halo 5's plot.
And it's specifically not a virus. Seems to be some Precursor/Forerunner neural physics thing.
I'd argue that Halo is actually fairly consistent. There's the occasional issue (like the aforementioned thermodynamics defying fusion core), but by and large it hews to established rules.
As to magic vs. technology, I'll let Arthur C. Clarke do the talking for me

It is fairly consistent with itself, it is just that those flaws it has bothers me. Especially since they could have been avoided easily without actually changing the setting almost at all.
As for Clarke's law, my spin on it would be, naturally: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indeed magic".
The new generation of gamers.
They can go play Halo 4. Bam.

This is kinda random, but can I call dibs on the next HaloGAF OT? I've never done one before and it sounds fun.

So was that T-shirt you were wearing, where can I buy one?
So what they've done is commission something that is worse than what we had before?
Wow. It's literally just noise. Don't like it at all.

Ok, finally back. Watched the panel. Good stuff, so hyped for MCC.
Is Lockout blue yet though?

Hi Halogaf, I hadn't kept up with the HMCC news so I caught up on some stuff past few days and saw part of the tournament stream earlier. Gonna watch the panel when I get a chance later.
The remastered maps are looking awesome, and the gameplay looks fast and fluid. Feels good not seeing armor abilities clutter things up. Also I know you guys touched on it already, but wtf is up with that shaky cam from explosions. Why is that needed exactly..?

Hey Kittens, if you for sure want |OT21|, let me know and I can try and whip up some pre-emptive graphics (or give you elements from this OT update) before I get shipped out next week.

No, that would fuck up the numbering Day-Of-The-Doctor-level bad.
I'd be happy to help set up an OT at some point if I had some help!
Pls bring back kylej ot's
Honestly, I can't stop but look at the screen shaking during grenades now. Even from like 10 feet away it shakes, it's ridiculous when there are like 4-5 grenades thrown in a closed area. Wish I didn't read about it.
Eh, seeing as how there was no Halo |OT20| I don't think it'll mess up anything. The title of this seems like a one-off to celebrate Halo 2 Anniversary as it is.

Maybe Kyle can make an alt and do OT21

Wondering myself. Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention, or the fact people here mentioned it and I started to actively look for it, and it's all I can see now.

So the tournament is still going?
Neat.
Neat.
I am watching a trailer for "Alaska Triangle" a show ostensibly about monsters that may exist in Alaska like you know, chupacabra.
But like, isn't Alaska literally chock full of actual man eating bears? Why the eff would you need a supernatural creature?
