Yeah just seems weak compared to the waterfall/shield on the other maps. May be all that's new... The wheel would be something, though I'm not sure what purpose it would serve.Yep, the second point I posted. Here I'll circle it for ya. This is new and I'm assuming interactive. Also there were the pillars at the bomb arming area you could shoot and destroy in the original map too, it made defending far too easy (not sure if this is returning or not).

They cheated. There was no way to get a 50 legit. Once you got in the high 30s it was cheaters galore. You had to bridge yourself host in order to ensure you don't get cheated, but bridging host was a form of cheating itself. I can't imagine a single person got to 50 legit.

Oh Lawd! This is doing it for me!
37-40 was basically the elites of halo 2
I do wonder if they are doing rankings based on playlist, game or playlist of game.
Doing game ranks would be too general and hurts the drive of the game. (i loved ranked slayer, objective, doubles and snipers for example)
Doing playlist ranks may not work well considering people have strengths per game, not just per playlist.
Playlist per game may be too much of a slog, though. And for cross game playlists it would be a nightmare... unless the game vote takes place before the matchmaking itself occurs.
3D support has been dropped, unfortunately.
The trick was to search in parties of 2 once you got that high. If you searched with a team of 4 you were 99% sure to get cheated at high ranks.
I got to 44 in slayer legit just searching with 1 buddy of mine.
Never came across a legit 50 though. Will be nice to try and finally achieve it.

There's so much content with this.
There will be 6 playable engines on this disc
A FREE content hub that includes a quality TV show and news as well as that spectator thing which will be cool for tournament play.
If you are a Halo fan this is all you can ask for and it's only 60$

Wow, I had seen some of this earlier, but seeing it actually at 60fps really makes a difference. I am ready for this now. They should have announced pre-ordering and pre-loading for this today.

Looks like I'm the one guy, but man... I don't like how Halo looks at 60 FPS. I watched the clips in HD a few times, and it just looks weird to me, and worse still it actually hurts my eyes for some reason, which not something I've ever had a problem with when gaming... Hopefully when I'm actually playing though it'll be better...
I know, it seems a bit weird, but I'm sure I'll get used to it, after hundreds of hours I play before 2015. Can I just quit my job and play this? I think it would be for the best..
The remastered Sanctuary looks pretty boss.. and of course 60 fps is fooking glorious!
We actually just called Verizon today about the issue; Verizon fucked up somehow, and the line isn't providing what we're paying for. So I've got a couple days of waiting before I can expect better results. Regardless, it'll be nice to know that I can actually play some god damned Halo multiplayer for once in the past year or so. Haha.
They're gone.
Those pillars made arming a bomb easier because you had some sense of defense with all the various ways a person can attack that spot from. Compared to an open lot like Last Resort...
I guess it boils down to preference.
Bro. What if you could DRIVE it? Bro.

So what are you showing on the twitch stream in a couple hours?
He's drunk. Don't mind him.
Oh and driving apparently too. Should never drink and drive. The more you know.

Chopper replacement? Press button to briefly cause the fan to spin into overdrive, destroying vehicles and players within?

Mini brute choppers.
Do it.
Do it.
Brute chippers?
I'm guessing he means that on Zanzibar you can control the rotation of the wheel, or the direction it turns.

"Were it so easy" to know if it was remotely related to truth.. Seriously that was a fantasy of 14yr old me... but the value of controlling it seems limited.

Which stream will it be on?
Listening to the latest Giant Bombcast, an anonymous email from HaloMan (which claims to be somebody from the development team of the Master Chief Collection) says that the "move mouse to move camera" prompt Jeff saw at the MCC demo is actually just leftover code from Halo 2 Vista release, which was one of the first games to poll what control method was being used and change text inputs on screen.
He continues to say that things change and they would love to release it on PC, but they're focused on Xbox One for now.
That actually makes sense and it bums me out.

You know what? It might feel stupid, but really it's not. It's damn amazing package for anyone even remotely interested in Halo and you'd be far from the only one taking the plunge because of this game (I know personally know many, and I know like, no people).
Besides, it's (most likely) not like there won't be other games you'll buy down the line.
Yuuup.
