Are you up for more questions Frankie?
If so...
-What's happening with out of bounds exploration in Halo 2? Any special treats for those climbing the mountains of Delta Halo?
-What about the original skulls?

I remember seeing you post that it was included that day the MCC was announced. Didn't quote him, but that post was for Der Flatolator, because he mentioned he wouldn't be disappointed if it wasn't included.
FyreWulff's Halo 2 Bug Checklist and/or How To Be a Jerk In Halo 2
one incoming for halo 3 as well. It'll look nicer in a few minutes for people that are viewing it fullscreen

Don't look for much that wasn't there originally and assume 16:9 has more impact than you'd assume.

Above this base, there is a hole in the invisible ceiling that can be flown through with the banshee. In the picture, the banshee is sitting in the approximate location of the hole. Doing this allows you to escape into the skybox, which forced Bungie to remove the Banshee from the map in matchmaking, even though the map was designed to accomodate it. This hole can also be driven through by a Spectre, since Spectres are really good at climbing walls. Sealing this hole would allow the map to be playable with the entire vehicle suite.
And get rid of bumper cars in the process? I'll only say yes if the invisible wall is turned off for custom games.
Sounds like a gametype you could remake much better in Forge Island in Halo4One
The whole point was trying to get up there in the first place, just to get knocked back down after getting pushed over the edge.
edit: Oh and no Spectres in Halo 4
On the subject of exploration... Okay... but why am I so paranoid about the original skulls somehow being included in this statement?
Always cryptic, Frankie

Stuff from the vid:
-Achievements will be new, not the original achievements
-Definite confirmation that you can specifically search for just Halo 2, CE etc.
-Forge for Halo 2 only on the 6 remade maps
Not necessarily new stuff, just confirmations.
If you're still around Frankie - Can you make sure the infinite sword glitch still works in the transition between The Arbiter and The Oracle? That is, where you carry around an empty sword for the transition and it becomes infinite/invisible for the next level.
It's part of my Legendary run of the game, and it makes that level a lot easier - especially the big Flood rush in the room where they break through the windows.

Spartan assault is kinda eh, don't like the "buy stuff for one level" thing.
I doubt the new graphics engine will change something like that. Assuming it is like CEA, physics engine related glitches are the ones that are likely to be affected.Stuff from the vid:

I don't want to see any cutscenes until release, TBH. I'm fine with what we saw of Cairo Station gameplay as it was part of the E3 reveal, but one of the great things about CEA was just experiencing and seeing the new polished environments for the first time.
If I see too much now then it's just gonna deflate my hype a bit I think.

Not sure how I missed this but in case anyone else did:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=115475091&postcount=16383
Lockout, Zanzibar and Ascension 3 of 6 confirmed maps for remakes in the new engine.

We only need midship and maybe sanctuary and then even the remakes would have enough good maps for competive use. damn

I'd love relic but they'll likely go coag as it suits 4v4, slayer and objective.

Zanzibar to me is a med-big map. It is not as big as Coagulation or Water Works x.x I would be happy with 3 small maps. Ascension, Midship & Lockout. Then Zanzibar for medium big & coagulation + water works to be on the huge side. Just to have a healthy balance of small medium to large, not to mention forging in water works / coagulation people can most likely remake sanctuary and the other competitive greats =)
ouch forgot about terminal DX I really like that map.. I would take that over Zanzibar but pretty sure Zanzibar is already confirmed.
I wouldn't mind burial mounds if it's not already been done.
It's too large for 4v4. If they want a map that can do 4v4, 6v6 or 8v8, just use Terminal. And it can use CTF, Assault, and Slayer.
Ozzy Onya A2Z

Damn good choice too.
Terminal was great at 4s or 8s CTF and assault, it does play quite well for slayer but can lead to some serious spawn killing and quitters though.
All that said it's damn hard to beat that hype train wrecking fools!
I truly hope dedis bring a metric shit tonne of interactivity to campaign and multi with Halo 5.
Relic is probably my hands-down favorite Halo map of all time for some of the intense 1-flag games I've played on it, but I'm with Ozzy. It's not as versatile a map.
I actually think oderwise, that playlist will be empty after a month or 2.
Really? I mean yeah its the Halo 4 engine, but the game play is Halo 2 styled. There is no sprint, flinch, there is increased player movement etc.
Coupled with the fact they have forge with those maps, who knows. I can see a lot of guys who play Proving Ground, love Legendary BR's/Slayer Pro style game play move to that list over H4, not to mention the people who are not happy with the objective games in H4. I just think because it's the newest and seems to now be best looking that it'll have the highest player base. I could be wrong though. I do also think the brunt of users may be H2/H3.
Yeah, it sucks for them. It would be nice if games were set up to pay royalties to developers. But that in itself seems like an impossible feat considering the number of hands that are involved in the end product. It's not the same as an actor getting royalties.
I wonder if somebody ever wrote a paper about the possibly of royalties for game development. I would read that paper.
Anyway, I think they were mostly joking around.
Same way everyone else does? It's all in a contract.
But yeah I don't see how you could do royalties. With a song, it's basically writing and performing credits, split however many ways. With a game, it'd be a nightmare of who gets what, especially considering how some work is practically "invisible" or not represented in the game--so the animators and 3D artists would get royalties, but what about the concept artists who came up with the mood or original designs, yadda yadda.
They look like they are but I'm sure there's a kernel of truth in those jokes.
Yeah, that is true also.

Would be cool to get an achievement for finding the Scarab Gun
Had it in H2V, very possible again.

With the leaked video, not sure how I feel about how MM will be handled since I'll be playing a lot of CE/2.
Avak said:
Anyway they could just let me search Halo 2 and give me 3 Halo 2 map options? I understand that there's a lot of things running this but it seems like somewhat of an oversight. Or they are trying to avoid populations dying out quickly, but CE/4 players seem like the ones that will get hurt the most. Either way, glad we have customs if it comes down to it.

Just played Halo 4 for the first time in more than a year.
SWAT, TS & Big Team.
Experience was mostly positive, but this game is just missing "something". Decent Lockout remake was fun, always liked Haven, and snipers on Valhalla was a bit of a laugh (I'm terrible at Halo).
Can't say I had any problems with any mechanics, armour abilities, etc. Just missing that spark...
I am looking forward to play it at 60fps though.

Those guys with that magnum acuraccy that flag bag bagagada match, so intense.
Hood new look makes him be a lot taller than his previous Halo incarnations, next time he will be a warcraft boss size.

Yep. It looks like there are alot of closeup shots. Very little panning like the original cut scenes.
We didn't see much so I hope that's not the case.

Doing Halo 2 Legendary day 1 I think, know that game like the back of my hand. Not so sure about the others, but I'll get there eventually.
