I don't know, I saw that mini interview with Frank earlier, and I just have zero hype. Cortana taking over Halsey's body and suiting up in Spartan IV armor to become the main villain doesn't really make sense, but Halsey's pretty old, so it lines up with the "ancient evil" teaser at least. And the new jetpack pygmy Hunters look cool, but the fact that the use stolen Spartan Laser tech is going to make them feel really cheap. Halo 2 jackal snipers all over again.

Also, I'm calling bullshit on Wahrer Machine's "Cyborg Sergeant Johnson" spoiler. That doesn't even make sense.

Is there a way to get the new Master Chief armor other than having gone to one of the conventions?

My armor needs an upgrade :(

You forgot to mention the Hobbits running around with hard light spears, I thought it was a bit too far.. I do like the Jellyfish mounts though.

Enemy was pretty obvious I think for most of us in here.

Weapon sounds are pretty good for the most part especially the Carbine.

Nor do I breh. Mountain out of a mole hill guys.. I recognize there was a posting spree of gifs from me for several pages, but I think I've cooled down from that tiny period you guys are clinging to.

That was a misunderstanding of me not knowing what was going on at the time and I've since owned up to the mistake of posting that. You guys are so adorable though <3 :]

I did it when he posted the picture of young Bruce Wayne after the theatre shootings. And of the times he has been quoted since, I've never thought "Maybe I'll take him off of the list".

The fact that Lord of the Rings and Halo take place in the same universe makes me so happy and confused.

For some reason, when the media use the term "info blowout", it makes me cringe because it's such a ridiculously stupid term.

Time-machines dude, time-machines.

No need. Sauron was supposedly destroyed... but maybe his spirit kinda gathered itself back into shape, becoming strong enough to have a form, manipulated the Forerunners to build Halos...

Oh, wait. Tolkien estimated that LotR happened about... 6000 years before the modern time? Well, something like that anyway.
So... the time machines are needed.

Like jet packs and Uncaged.

Choose jet pack, grab the pro-pipe, profit. Fun.
Also, flying high and falling down AR blazing with last second braking burn, most people never realize what hit them. Fun.

The map is shit, so don't expect me to play properly, i'll just go nuts and do stuff people hate.

Put a little effort into it; that's as believable as Halo having loadouts and perks and...


oh.

A couple of levels.

I just need to know:

* Time-To-Crate.
* How many "Press (A) to Awesome" experiences they had. Or QTEs. If any.
* Cinematic to gameplay ratio.
* Any very noticeable differences between cinematic moments and storytelling techniques and gameplay visuals and performance.
* Sandbox vs Linear ratio.

Although I don't really need to know this unless there is something glaring.

OK, I really do need to know the Time-To-Crate - its the basis for everything else really.

Sounds like an SMG. There's nothing crystalline to the sound.

Maybe thats just me but that one was the most polar opposite to how I'd imagine it sounding.

Best sound in the game so far for me is the Ghost. Followed by the weird techy, jangly, clanky sounds of the Spartans themselves just moving around and fiddling with gear.
