Thats a shame that modded content prevents gabotron from being electable but in that case hire him and give him unlimited megalo access.

Chief next quest is to steal an ancient forerunner poncho from a grave mind halo Xbox one done

 

[Genesis Knight]

So I've been out of the Halo loop for a long time. Can anyone catch me up?

- The Halo game with Poncho Master Chief: is that Halo 5 or some side game?
- Do we know the release date for it, or are there any guesses?
- Anything we know about it other than 1080p60fps?

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Were is so easy

Damnit heckfu.. Butchering The Arbiter's famous lines is a sin.

Thought I might try replaying all the campaigns on Legendary, starting from the beginning. I suck shit at Legendary Solo in CE. I can't tell you how many times I died at the grav lift part in Truth & Reconcilliation. Bah.

I've seen you post about CE Anniversary campaign before. If you want to do co-op send me a message, I'll be down to play it again.

Gabo totally deserves all that recognition but the rules don't allow modded content unless it's Halo PC.

Because Halo Waypoint is a fucking joke.

1. We don't know for sure, but pretty much a given it will be Halo 5
2.No, november seems like a safe bet though
3. Lol it won't be 1080p AND 60fps, most likely only 900p and 60 fps if we are lucky. And no, nothing is known

- Still not confirmed to be Halo 5. But the announcement trailer did have another version at some point where it showed the "Halo 5" logo rather than just "Halo". Still doesn't mean much.

- 2014 is the only official indication. Seems like they might respect that deadline (like, november 2014), since they're apparently playing a stable version of the game, and they're hinting the reveal is coming soon. Also, it would meet Microsoft's wishes to have a new big title every two years rather than every three years.

- It has at least one new gametype.

Corrinne Yu has left 343 for Naughty Dog.

343 has a new creative director, Tim Longo.

Josh Holmes has been promoted to Queen of France.

Yup, that is most of the big news. You have not missed much.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

So will we have Poncho Chief and Caped Arbiter working alongside each other in the next game?

As far as I know the story is just that Jun dropped Halsey off at ONI Headquarters(Where Fred and co eventually meet up with Halsey in First Strike) and then he left the planet and got to Earth safely. Then got commissioned into leading the Spartan IV project.

It would be interesting to hear about everything that Jun has been through since we parted ways with him in Reach. Hopefully he plays a role in the next game.

Damn, I hadn't seen that beauty:

They should make a comic.

Perfect.

Wow I just realized what Halo 4 was missing.

We need PFC Chips Dubbo back.

Him and the rest of the classic marines.

I do miss the marines with attitude, it brought some life to the battles as they happened. I think 343 tried to mime this feel with Palmer and the SIVs but failed in doing so.

- Literally no one knows. There was a leaked trailer by Axis Animation that had the Halo 5 logo, but it's been repeatedly denied by Microsoft.
- Late 2014 has been the guess for the release window.
- It has Dedicated Servers, and most likely will have in-game ranks (BlOps2 arena style most likely).

Also, it hasn't been confirmed to be 1080p, i'd be surprised if it was.

Okay, thanks guys.

It's Halo 5, I'm not sure why they have been so awkwardly secret about it.. Perhaps it really is to make sure people get it in their head it is for the Xbox One only as some have suggested.

 

[IHaveIce]

They hired another person who worked on a bomba game ( Defiance in this case) ?

Oh lord.

This summaries the choices 343 makes with hiring people:

Someone needs to break out the space mop.

The rule about modded content needs to gotten rid off especially because of the quality of work produced is a lot better than the official released stuff.

This. I get that they don't want to support stuff that breaks the game, makes cheating/hacking possible.

But they should be really thankfull there are people who go through trouble to create even more awesome gametype than they can come up with.


So I will say it again, the option to customize stuff in Halo 5 needs to be expanded, you shouldn't have to mod to do all this. Just let us fucking do everything we want in custom games.

Don't forget about the CGB because without that, we'll be in the same boat we've always been in, tediously setting up games.

Of course. there should be one since Halo 3.

And give us damage/other stuff sliders for every single weapon :'(

Ha yeah that's probably a reach.

But it wouldn't surprise me to see them do some type of trailer + a magazine reveal, like Game Informer.

Hopefully it doesn't raise more questions than it answered like the Halo 4 armor abilities and perks situation that happened last time.

 

[Tashi]

You're completely reaching with that.

Probably likely to happen in the future though.

 

[HigherLevel]

I'm only even bringing it up because they've done that a few times before, so we'll see if it happens again.

 

[Orochinagis]

:/

Halo 2's scripted dialogue is indeed very pinnacleish.

Halo 2's dynamic dialogue is... eh. The marines sound like they don't care about anything happening in the world around them. And the elites sound like a high school kid was really bored in the sound studio one night after reading some shakespeare for an English class they hate.

I think that Halo was pretty polemic because it was in Mexican spanish dubbed instead of the traditional spanish from spain dub. Spanish dudes got very mad about it so it was the first and only mexican spanish dubbed Halo.

So much regionalized phrases from the soldiers and featured an emo MC voice.

That actually sounds pretty hilarious.

So what did they do for the Mexicans after that, then? Tell them to just deal with the Spain Spanish and call it a day or what?

343 come on. It's been long enough.. You'd be pulling a Nintendo/Bungie by denying so many fans of what they want when there's no reason to exclude it in the first place ;\

Access to such a browser would allow along with greater megalo options would vastly improve the amount of player created content that can be displayed. With no ability to search for games things like gabotron's game types cant be experienced by a wider audience and possible be included officially in the game if they meet a set of requirements.

If your offering to do co-op anniversary could I play with you? no idea about how lag will be as halo co-op has awful net code (use the same code for co-op as is used for matchmaking in halo 5) but we could try?

Gameinformer also has an article about destiny art director Chris Barret is talking about the enemies and it has nice art as well:http://http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2013/12/16/the-enemies-of-destiny.aspx

Bring back the anniversary / ce pistol for that poll.

 

[Tawpgun]

Remember when the Halo 3 pistol designed leaked and everyone thought the M6D was back?

Same when they announced the look of the Reach pistol and said it had a quote.

That being said, in the base game the Halo 1 pistol probably isn't the best idea despite what the purists want to believe. Best you can hope for is a successor to the DMR, but have it be a 3sk headshot power weapon. It wouldn't be a power weapon like rockets or snipe, more like a needler/saw kind of pick up.

But what they should do is literally add the M6D as fan service into the OPTIONS for the game.

 

[Plywood]

The CE pistol isn't coming back, stay clinging to your nostalgia grampa's.

I'd still be playing Halo 4 if it had a CGB. I'm tired of being restricted to the gametypes that devs want us to play.

It was cruel how Bungie used CE as a means to get longtime fans excited for Halo 3 and Reach. And unusual.

When I saw that skin in the alpha footage I lost my shit. Then I noticed it only had 8 bullets.. Then the Beta came out and people found out how to play Custom Games, so I tested it and realized Bungie no longer loved me.

 

[Caayn]

There's no way that the waypoint rules are going to be altered anytime soon.

Also I think I was one of the lucky few who got that achievement on their first try

Don't shoot me, really please don't. But I really liked to needle rifle from Reach. My favorite weapons from the original trilogy would be dual spikers, those things were beast in CQC.

 

[squidhands]

That was such a pain in the ass achievement. My reaction when I finally got it:

I won't disagree with this (even though I've shown how the Pistol could be further balanced and how it wasn't broken in CE), but there's something special about that little stubby weapon. It directly identifies with "classic" Halo, not to mention how frequently it appears on those lists of favorite FPS weapons.

The CE pistol isn't coming back, stay clinging to your nostalgia grampa's.

Go home child, do your homework.


EDIT:

Don't shoot me, really please don't. But I really liked to needle rifle from Reach.

I'm there with you. Never really understood the hate on the Needler being a good weapon, especially when it's a pickup and you really only get like ~2 kills with it. Not to mention it's easy to dodge if you see it being shot at you. Again, something a better strafe could help with.

 

[NobleGundam]

So uh yeah
Edit: if it were confidential. I think Frank wouldn't have said anything at all.

 

[IHaveIce]

So uh yeah

Was pretty obvious for me it was a colony planet.

The more interesting question is who is the interrogator

Edit:wait did you just post a pm publicly? Is that allowed here?

 

[Plywood]

Go home child, do your homework.

Keep clinging to something that's been dead outside the first game.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

So uh yeah

Test for the TV show or just test for what they can do overall, I wonder?

Kind of lame they didn't even have a specific planet/battle/event in mind but I suppose it makes sense.

And Frankie never responded to my pm. I just assumed it's because he doesn't respond to anybody. Interdasting.

Was pretty obvious for me it was a colony planet.

The more interesting question is who is the interrogator

Well yeah it was, but I at least figured they had a specific battle in mind.

 

[Caayn]

So uh yeah

Ditto on the interrogator question, yet I've got a feeling that we'll get to know more about the interrogator once Mortal Dictata is released.

Frank is it possible that you share that live-action clip with us

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Keep clinging to something that's been dead outside the first game.

I will, thanks. Never give up hope for a better Halo, despite how many times I've been slapped in the face (not just with the Pistol).

Too much love for this franchise.

True, but I don't think a classic weapon Halo poll means a Halo 5 cover story is inbound.

 

[NobleGundam]

I think the more interesting question is if the attack on the Colony planet is canon and what timeline it takes place.

The interrogator could be someone above ONI based on what he knows and perhaps conspiring to replace the chief. I still have suspicion he's augmented somehow, idk.

 

[Mistel]

That was such a pain in the ass achievement. My reaction when I finally got it:

I did it on tip of the spear after a couple of tries instead of the cliff in pillar of autumn it was much easier, with the cliff i'd either land on his head or repeat the same thing in the Gif or get a grunt that was next to him.

Go home child, do your homework.

The anniversary pistol with a bit more fine tuning was pretty much the CE pistol it shouldn't be that hard to use it again for halo 5 especially due to the CE pistol being a enduring part of the franchise.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Good luck on playing CEA coop. In my experience it's generally fine but comes with a 50-50 chance it'll just lag out as soon as you ht the cutscene. If you get past that usually I was golden and it was basically like any other coop Halo.

Except your Spartans never want to be left alone.

Then based on that Musa 096 comes up as a choice for the interrogator than he was crippled by the augmentation so a grudge against Halsey is a given really, plus he wanted the Spartans as a separate branch in the UNSC.

Halo anniversary co-op teleporting has a nasty habit of spawning me off those bridges in assault on the control room and two betrayals.

I think it could be a spartan or someone who is connected to chief/halsey.

The question didn't feel formal enough to be just an ONI guy or something.


Can we please get the other Spartan 2s in the next games. Blue team reassemble and be the better noble team.

The anniversary pistol with a bit more fine tuning was pretty much the CE pistol it shouldn't be that hard to use it again for halo 5 especially due to the CE pistol being a enduring part of the franchise.

1. It's a weapon that directly taps into nostalgia, something that Halo needs right now.
2. So many people love it and it's clearly not forgotten because it frequently appears on those lists of favorite weapons over the years.
3. It. Can. Be. Further. Balanced. (faster movement, more responsive strafe, a sandbox that isn't watered down/inconsistent, possible default Thrusters, etc.)
4. 8 shot clip is a crime, make it 12 shots again. And don't dare remove the scope.
5. One of the most skill-demanding, yet FUN weapons in any Halo game. Fans showing love for it over a decade after its release is proof of that.
6. It's the perfect spawn weapon we've been wanting, granted the weapons on the map are worth picking up (like a BR with a Red Reticle Range (RRR) of a 3x weapon, but with a 2x zoom (ie: Light Rifle)).
7. Doesn't take up a big portion of the screen (personal "complaint" about rifles).

I know many people don't respond to these posts, and I think it's because how several people said they don't have the time spent with CE, but I hope that I'm at least making sense here to those who haven't. I'm trying to open some minds who don't have that experience, yet I'm greeted with comments from LameOne and Snorewood about how I should just give up and have failed to prove its worth/balance. It's that type of ignorance that won't get us anywhere..

Trust me™ - Love. Peace. Harmony. Halo.

I used to have spawntrap battles in those hallways; grenades all over the floor made it cray lol.


EDIT:

Why do you talk about the pistol so much as if that is Halo's main problem? There are plenty of other things you could talk about that needs to be changed before worrying about the pistol.

It's something I'm passionate about and was relevant to the Game Informer poll that was brought up. It's not like I don't talk in detail about other topics whenever they're brought up.
