Yeah. They are consulting George Lucas for all their alien designs, can't ya tell?
Please remember MCC. You think you're in the clear then before you know it its a shit storm.

Just when I think to myself "no way can this thing get any creepier," there it is.
Yeah, hat and everything.
My other idea for BTB mode:
I was kinda thinking having two large cruiser ships, i.e: Forward unto Dawn size. Each ship acts as one team's base and the only way to transfer across is via Pelicans/Phantoms, Banshee's, Hornet's etc.
You could have multiple objectives such as destroying generators to take down AA guns, turn off shields etc. with the final goal being getting to the mainframe/core of the enemy ship and blowing it up.
I want this so bad.

Good man, best to just say it and cut out the ponderings.
No public beta testing coop netcode & infrastructure? Best be solid 
YesNo but really, are these created by 343?
Not tthat I don't agree but I think weapon customization will be in the game and I bet you can have a silver pistol.
If DLC maps will be free then they will probably have skins and stuff for guns and Spartans as the paid dlc. I'm ok with that as long as it doesn't give the player any kind of power. Also, isn't the assault rifle that chief is using green? Could be a hint.

Yeah.
I kinda like 'em, provided there's a decent variety of looks.

This is slightly concerning
I don't know the specifics of scale
But you're not gonna publicly test a new big scale game mode incorporating all of the Halo sandbox like never before?
In the wake of BF4 and MCC, are you sure that's a good idea?
And my worries are not relegated to netcode and performance, but also map design and balance

A lot of patches incoming if they wont test that in the public world.

Let's see what it actually is though, it might not be as a big a change as people are hyping it (and themselves) up to be.
There is no BTB extravagance, it's just 4v4 with bots added and AI warthogs fighting each other in the background. It was all a ruse.

as we saw with the MCC, they can always just apologize and keep patching it months later

My tone was sarcastic, I hope you know. Although I'm serious about dat shiny.
Good point about the customization =)

yup. I think this will be a desaster.
I know there are closed betas going on and stuff, but these are most of the time just connection tests and server crash tests.
They could just hire one of those large scale private testing companies.
I'm more concerned the effort being put into this new mode will make it so there's no resources left for Firefight or Spartan Ops 2.0.
I don't think we'll be getting any co-op mode besides campaign this time around. No mention at all about it.

Stress tests will continue I'm sure, ppl need to stop being leaky assholes though
I imagine once its unveiled even this new crazy BTB mode will be subject to private testing online. But like Ice said, its mostly just making sure connections, groups, parties, etc actually work.
Balance, well, we just have to leave that up to the internal testing team I guess

Yall, you know you can post more than once per page. No need to edit your post to respond to a post below yours.
Welp, that's one pipe dream I can throw in the reject pile.
I just hope they make high demand changes as quickly as possible. The early weeks / months of Halo multiplayer releases are always rough.
I'd be totally fine with a new 2d metroid as well.
But I personally like the prime games a bit better.

Sorry for offtopic:
Ok, ok, Halo hype, but check this:
Alan Wake Return? Rare 30th Anniversary Collection??
If this is not fake....O.O

Probably fake, but where's that from?

I thought an Alan Wake Xbox One version was already confirmed. If so, it's probably that.

Dont believe this a bit. But if true by any chance, thats extremely dumb.

Why do you think it's okay to respond like this? Seems really rude and arrogant. They gave us a beta already, E3 is around the corner, and it's close to release date.
Come on.

Weekend before launch demo confirmed?
Is this the finale?
As an extremely dumb person, in some ways responsible for this dumbness, I encourage you to believe it.

Crossposting.
If you are a Halo fan in any way, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

Yup.
Seriously. One thousand times this.
Even if you don't think you'd enjoy the audio series style of story telling I implore you to check it out. Easily the most entertaining story I think Halo has ever told.
Season 2 incoming!
