I'm good with it only if we get a Platinum Games developed spinoff where RaidenLocke throws a Scarab halfway across a city and slices it in half.

This needs to happen.

 

[squidhands]

Also easy to say and remember, which is one of the (very few) rules.

Missed opportunity by not calling it 52nd Street

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Smart, verrrrry smart.

9.9/10, would play.

Fuck that, I've been wanting Platinum to make a Halo game where you play as an Arbiter that dual wields swords and you could even fight giant Hunters like in The Duel.

Reveangence was a nice example of good melee combat. Countering felt so good.

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Quick question Frank: Are grenade indicators and hitmarkers an experiment or are they a confident addition to the sandbox?

I ask because a lot of viewers and pros alike say that it diminishes the competitive gameplay (sure you have heard of the arguments).

What are your thoughts on it Stinkles?

My 2013 GOTY personally

 

[Ragnarok Flames]

9.8/10, would play.

Fixed that for you.

My 2013 GOTY personally

I tried to play mine a month ago. Doesn't work anymore because of a tinyass scratch.
It really is a great game though. Sucks that the stealth was dropped from the original concept.

Fuck stealth, I'm a ninja cyborg. Fucking WALL RUNNING was scrapped before release

The soundtrack alone made it GOTY for me.

 

[Madness]

So the remake is actually called Stonetown? Was it announced anywhere?

 

[Mix]

It was a rumor and now Frank is commenting on it as being real.
while not explicitly saying "Yeah, it's called Stone Town."

 

[Nebula]

So the remake is actually called Stonetown? Was it announced anywhere?

Yeah on this site called NeoGAF by a user called Stinkles.

Spoiler

No idea where it was announced.

I find appeal in being able to get past everyone and everything with style and them never even knowing I was there aside from there being a lot less of something

Spoiler

possibly life if I'm so inclined

Spoiler

which I probably will be if I have a SWORD

.

THERE WAS GOING TO BE WALL RUNNING?

Yeah on this site called NeoGAF by a user called Stinkles.

Spoiler

No idea where it was announced.

The name was on the screen of a tv in the background during a video. Not sure if it was an interview or a ViDoc or what. I know I saw a screen of it the other day though.

*edit*
Bam!d

 

[RowdyReverb]

Also easy to say and remember, which is one of the (very few) rules.

Just realized that's true of pretty much every map name. Gephyrophobia being the exception. Coagulation is a bit of a mouthful as well, but everyone called it Coag anyway.

 

[Madness]

Bam!

Thanks for video, hadn't seen this.

 

[Sephzilla]

THERE WAS GOING TO BE WALL RUNNING?

It's in the initial Platinum Revengeance announcement trailer. If I had to guess it was probably scrapped because it would have had no practical use in the game.

 

[Granadier]

What's all this 9.8ing about IGN?

9.8/10

"It was okay."

Yeah the environment design wasn't exactly the games strong suit... or the story... or even the graphical power. The encounters were INCREDIBLE though. That first boss fight and the one against

Spoiler

Sam

were my favorites. Such music. Much ninja/samurai. Actually decent implementation of QTE's.

 

[Competa]

So, where's the stream ?

 

[Welfare]

Is the Stream on Twitch or IGN site?

 

[Mix]

Warlock is the Final map in the Master Chief Collection

IGN First


15 minutes video

It's Crazy King gameplay

Also, here are the final map remakes and their names:
Warlock is now Warlord
Ascension is now Zenith
Coagulation is now Bloodline
Sanctuary is now Shrine
Zanzibar is now Stonetown

 

[Akai__]

So, where's the stream ?

The stream is on the 22nd October. IGN First coverage is basically articles and videos, about the MCC.

So mostly just retreading what we already know, discussing it, and leading up to the reveal?

 

[matthieuC]

Warlord has a cool aesthetic.

And Coag is now Bloodline.

 

[Welfare]

Yeah, not really digging Warlock getting remade.

 

[singhr1]

Also 8 minute walkthrough with Max Hoberman (Certain Affinity, Halo 2 multiplayer lead)

Holy shit that skybox, the tree, the leaves. So beautiful.

So two small symmetric maps, one small asymmetric, two medium asymmetric maps, and one large. I'll take it!

 

[Mix]

I love the aesthetic of the map. It's totally Halo 2 but in HD. I'm in love and I hope that Bloodline (coag) is in the same vein as frankie mentioned...
no pun intended.

Any way these videos find their way to youtube? IGN doesn't play on my work network.

Coag looked amazeballs, I have no doubt Bloodline will too.

 

[Mix]

It looks like the redundant medals (standard kill, grenade kill, etc.) have been removed but I could be wrong still watching.

The invisibility in the center of the map looks like the OG Halo 2 model now and it's gorgeous.

 

[IHaveIce]

Damn Warlock really looks like Halo 2 with modern graphics, I mean Lockout you could really see how they changed stuff dramatically, but this right here looks amazing

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Those grenade indicators and grenade hitmarkers. *SMH*

Map looks nice though.

 

[Mix]

Coag looked amazeballs, I have no doubt Bloodline will too.

both of these. The hype I have for the Coag reveal is insane. Halo is seriously fucking back.

Thank you based Frankles/343

 

[Sephzilla]

Im still 100% okay with Wizard being the 6th H2A map. That map was an MVP of my old LAN parties.

Spoiler

Frankie, you really should remake the rest of the maps

 

[singhr1]

Any way these videos find their way to youtube? IGN doesn't play on my work network.

Try to use the IGN player because it can play videos at 60 FPS as compared to youtube's 30 FPS cap. I'm sure they'll upload to their youtube channel soon if you are unable.

 

[matthieuC]

Sentinel Beam is in and is stronger. Cool.

 

[Deception]

That skybox is amazing but no interactive element?

 

[Welfare]

Oh yes, the Sentinel Beam!

 

[Akai__]

The IGN players still sucks. What a surprise...

So mostly just retreading what we already know, discussing it, and leading up to the reveal?

Yep.

 

[Mix]

Wow, so you can still stand inside the teleporters, that's actually fucking cool.

 

[The Librarian]

Would've preferred another BTB map, but Warlock looks great regardless (gameplay and aesthetics).

One thing, though: I wish they would remove the echo from Steitzer's voice.

 

[Omni]

Warlock is the Final map in the Master Chief Collection

How boring. I still can't believe they'd decided to remake this map.

Like really?

 

[Fracas]

Also, here are the final map remakes and their names:
Warlock is now Warlord
Ascension is now Zenith
Coagulation is now Bloodline
Sanctuary is now Shrine
Zanzibar is now Stonetown

It's like they asked a 12 year old to make up the most edgy names he could think of.

 

[Mix]

Yeah, the standard kill medals are gone but it looks like the headshot medal is bugged in this build, it pops up twice and in two different spots and sizes lol that's a funny bug.

 

[CyReN]

So good.

 

[matthieuC]

Wow that shotty had 24 slugs! I hope they tune it down for the final release, but I know Certain Affinity really likes high ammo counts for power weapons.

Gorgeous map though. My favorite aesthetic out of all the maps so far.
