No "real" customization? Oh well, better than no Elites. I wonder what the H2A Spartan customization will be like, GIVE ME MARK V.

I've been F5'in the news.xbox.com/media site for the last several days hoping for the Halo 3 1080p 60 FPS footage and I have yet to see anything.
Is it on the way?

Does this pic confirm Headlong as the last map?

I think that's just New Mombasa. As in the 2nd level in the campaign.

Glad you like it
Download the plugin "elite reducer" on this page. Then apply it to any instrument and play with the setting until you reach the desired amount of crunchiness. Bam.

I hope the last map is Headlong or Waterworks. Please be a BTB map!

No 9.8s unless it's a COD clone.
That is a confusingly worded sentence. At first I thought he was saying Halo 2 didn't need balanced starts and teamwork, but it seems that his complaint is a lack of sprint.
Also, sprint is dumb, I hope we're done with it.

Honestly, doesn't sound like a complaint to me. He goes out of his way to point out that the game doesn't need it and that it stands up to modern shooters. It's almost like he's justifying something to somebody?

I didn't really say it was a complaint,
I just don't get why he would bother mentioning it in the first place, the whole paragraph was confusing.

Yeah, I agree. Just trying to parse it, I guess. It really is a weird paragraph.
I have a feeling you'll get a lot of those types of articles moving forward in a sense. These journos and reviewers don't even touch the game past the first month, but will champion changes or cry loudly if a game doesn't have something others have. Most of us would like the same movement and no sprint in H5 as well, but you can be damn sure if there is no sprint, you'll get a ton of people say sprint is needed for modern shooters, this is game play "from ten years ago".

I dunno about "same movement" (I'd like it to be a little faster, tbh), but otherwise agreed. It's gonna be an uphill battle.

Completely agree.
Amazing, can see a real blend of 4 and Reach there.

As dumb as it might be, I enjoy the cosmetic customization that is in both Reach and 4.
Cosmetic customization is awesome. I love using different armor (as long as it looks good).

343i's Ui is suspect still looking at that image. It seems rudimentary and something is off about it.
Well it's probably still partially placeholder. But from what I've used it definitely seems a step up.
Heading out of Seattle, but got to meet Tupo and Griz here. PAX was fun.

Halo 3 also had poor gametypes
Oddball was really the only one to improve (contesting the ball made no sense whatsoever) but CTF was heavily simplified and its flow was dulled significantly... went from an exciting, edge of your seat grudge match to... meh. Assault... well... assault was absolutely destroyed. (surprising because i always felt there was room for improvement with assault) Good for grifball, bad for everything else. Territories/land grab in H3 were really new gametypes that would have complimented the H2 style. (which was super fun when you pull off comebacks)
That and the UI is still awful in H3... still bothers me to this day when playing games like KOTH when you're red and the other team is blue... the team indicators for scoring will show your team as blue and the enemy as red. (at least for the hill indicator itself)
Halo 3 really shined in slayer, though. It did slayer so well.

The last map will be Sidewinder, justice will prevail!
Would've loved a midship and warlock remake in there. Theres just so many good maps on Halo 2, hopefully theres some DLC on the way.
You're getting the Midship remake but it's in Halo 5. As for DLC, don't think it's happening. I'm guessing 343 would prefer you move onto their newer game as opposed to playing their older one. Remember, the beta lasts almost 3 weeks well into January, and then Halo 5 comes out in November.

If only Sidewinder ever existed in Halo 2. I'd prefer Containment over Sidewinder.

I wouldn't say that is dumb at all, I thought reach had some really cool armour.
I'm sure 5 will continue the trend of furthering Spartan/Elite custization.

Quality over quantity IMO. Reach was just about perfect.
I doubt Sangheili will be playable in Halo 5 though. Halo 4 seemed like a transition between enemy sets. I feel like they're really going to flesh out the Forerunners (and non-forerunner Prometheans) in Halo 5.
Maybe Locke will be playable in multiplayer?

Probably already posted but I don't care because damn it looks so good.
Chalkie is also really bloody good.

I think it's time for the Halo series to monetise customisation items for your character instead of paying for DLC maps.
If done right, revenue should be coming in at a consistent basis (people need to be paid for their work after all), and the biggest upside being the community gets to enjoy the maps without being split.
Killzone SF and PvZ are the only two non F2P (that I can think of) titles that have done it so far, maybe TLOU, as the maps are free but after internet outrage.

I've been saying this for ages. The current DLC system just doesn't work. I bought Reach DLC and played the maps once then the DLC playlist was too small to bother.
Haven't bought map DLC since because you just never play them.
I doubt Locke would be playable in MP, but his armor might be available, maybe as an unlock. As for Sangheili, if Arbiter has a role, and we see the Elite homeworld, and Elites are a main part of the story, we could see them for any kind of Elite Slayer modes in MP.
On a related note, if you look at that gif, the medals have slightly changed. If you remember the gamescom build, a sniper kill whether it was a headshot or not, only gave you "sniper kill" medal, now you get a slightly changed "sniper kill", and a headshot medal if it's a headshot. Who knows what they're tinkering with behind the scenes, but it's obvious they do notice and listen to fan feedback.

Agreed.
Reach > 4 when it came to armour and customisation IMO
That looks simply amazing.
It seems like a logical step, will be interesting to see how they handle 5s DLC after seeing how 4s wasn't exactly a success.
They've done that once with one of the 4 dlc I wonder how well that did?

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
Personally I would pay if they remade all of the Halo 2 maps for H2A MP. I mean with the 6 that we are getting (no matter what number 6 is) we will be missing, Turf, Headlong, Terminal, Relic, Midship, waterworks. I guess its not as big of a deal since we have them in the original form, but I would love to have them all updated.
Yeah. But unless they're free and required you'll never actually see them in matchmaking.

I remember in Halo 2 DLC maps were free after a couple months. Don't know how successful that was for Bungie, but it was better than splitting the community up
Gears 3 was really fucked up Cruz the people without the DLC couldn't play on dedicated servers. The rare time I would play with a friend with no maps, you could feel the difference immediately. Epic put them mothafuckas in a ghetto lmao

So who else doesn't want to play the H2A maps at all? They have all the secondary and tertiary crap that made halo 4 suck like the lighting and sound effects. Just give me a halo 2/3 playlist. They were the best games. CE can have one too, 4 can just get deleted for all I care.

I'll admit I'm primarily going to play Halo 2/3 but I will happily play H2A purely because it looks great and it'll have the updated Forge stuff for me to have fun with.
