YUUUUP
Tomorrow we will see it. I think. It's closed doors if I recall correctly...
I'm thinking Coagulation or Waterworks will be one of them.

I would love Waterworks but if it's Coagulation I would be equally as happy too!
That's stupid. You're stupid.
That's really cool dude. I knew that there was a lot to forging but damn it's crazy to hear the process.
I'm thinking Zanzi or Terminal. Not sure if I'd be excited about another remake of Blood Gulch...
But Waterworks would be amazing as well.

Bravo doesn't wear deodorant. That sweet, succulent scent is his natural smell. He's like a walking scented candle, if that scented candle smelled like overflowing dandelion fields on the beautiful horizon.
That reminds me, I need to start working on that biography for him, which consists of a lot of this. RIP UrbanSpoon.

Dude you should get a huge "payout" with the amount of time you've spent on
absolutely ridiculously insane levels of
and down-to-the-pixel-level-obsessive 
That is - assuming anyone even cares about playing Halo 3 grifball.
Your jelaous
You two tomorrow.

Halo 2 has 15 campaign levels. although only 14 are actual levels, #1 is the opening cutscene

Its been so long since I've played it to know.
But didn't they say they're including extra content like cutscenes or maybe missions (excluding terminals)?
I remember some terminals being mentioned. Levels, no.
The only almost finished level that didn't make it into Halo 2 is Forerunner Ship. Would be neat if it was restored, but doesn't sound likely at this point.
Exploring the Monoloth would've been awesome.
It's a real shame that Halo 2 lost so much in its development. The making of vids showed that there was a lot they had to cut to make the deadline. Imagine if it had another year of dev time. I wonder if it would still pretty much be same or if it would be radically different than the game we got?

Looking forward to the panel tomorrow morning! Have fun at RTX, whoever all is there.
Watching the archive while painting, pretty good!
I am worried about this unified ranking system. I haven't really been following this game that much so I don't know as much as I should by now. I'm going to assume that there is a ranked/social split and if not, that would be insanely idiotic. If they are separated, each ranked playlist should have it's own individual 1-50 rank just like how it was in Halo 3.
If it is half-assed and you can get a 50 really easily by just playing Halo 4, then there is no point in having this unified system.

Halo 3 Grifball is the best Grifball but it was spoiled by extremely poor networking conditions, giving host god-like powers. The Grifball community is seriously looking forward to (1080p 60fps) server hosted games which will be closer to what they are enjoying at RTX.
Wat. Did 343 confirm their is a unified ranking system?
If so, and if it is "half assed", then that is extremely disappointing. Even the whole concept of putting every single game together just seems wrong to me. If I want to play Halo 2 Team Snipers, I shouldn't have to put up with Halo 3 Snipers or Halo 4 snipers first.

Agree with both sentiments. I'm still worried that Halo 2 multiplayer will have lost some of its varnish, and that I'm just remembering it super-nostalgically. Especially since customs were such a big part of that game and they likely wont happen these days.
I don't know about that.
I think that Halo 4 customs certainly don't happen a lot, however that's because modding aside, the custom options kinda suck. Even after the population became almost dead I was invited to quite a few in 3. I mean when Halo 3 was released for games with gold there were even more. The only sad thing was that because the file browser was dead few of us actually had all the classic customs.
I can't comment on Halo 2, but I'm sure it's no different. If it was as loved as you guys say then there will definitely be at least a decent population that still hosts customs. It's too bad a browser wasn't made but maybe it'll happen eventually. I mean who really thought the MCC would actually happen? I remember when the idea was met with salty dismissal and sarcastic lols.
If everything else is the same old Halo that I loved, then I can live with a semi decent ranking system. Even if Halo 5 were to suck for whatever reason, I get to PLAY CE and 2 ONLINE! Something that I never thought would happen ever.
I get the concerns and they make sense, but I don't think it should be enough to kill the hype for the mutiplayer. At least not until we know how it works. I wonder if anyone will ask if the clan system is back. If that were brought back for the whole collection instead of just 2 that would be stupid awesome. Thoughts?
Well I guess you won't be getting invited to any of our custom games.
Gun game is pretty awesome actually. And we usually play customs whenever we have ~8-10 online playing.
Isn't that a mod?

The color coded networking cables are a very nice touch.

Quick idea for fileshare improvement in Halo 5. The UI should use Halo 3's fileshare as a template to begin with. It hasn't been bettered in the two games since.
1. Player selects video as normal.
2. Impromptu theatre viewing is enabled on the same page and the player can watch the clip on the right side of the screen. Obviously it would only be for viewing clips; full theatre capability would still demand one to enter the theatre section.
A bit like youtube embedding.

Nice ideas and could be a good use of cloud rendering in the background.
Also I'm curious what dedis bring to theatre or more importantly coop theatre. Full real time shared game engine theatre or console/cloud rendered shared videos?
Of course development decisions around these features are relevant now for MCC, however, what about near real time player or free cam spectating via dedis/cloud for Guardians? I can see how development methodologies are shared between such features.
Thanks boo
Sounds very doable and would probably make viewing clips something that people did more often. It's something you could do while waiting for the next match to start up or whatever.Quick idea for fileshare improvement in Halo 5. The UI should use Halo 3's fileshare as a template to begin with.

Wasn't that supposed to be in Halo 4 but it got cut?
Not sure, but I always wanted that feature. Especially after Halo Reach and it's thousands of Forge maps, which I couldn't remember all by name.
Congratulations on the WR. Didn't watch the whole thing, but color me impressed.
