My hypothesis is that Kuroyume is from a parallel universe and post his honest opinions. But these sound too crazy for us and so we assume their only purpose is to troll.

No. We are fighting against their creators. We have to stop them. We have to finish the job. Of course Halo will be covered on every TV news show because of this slogan and goal.

AND THE SPARKAST IS HERE!

I looked up "snot" on google images to post in reply to this as a joke.

But I would get banned and thrown in jail for implying it was semen in these pictures.

Yeah, I know how it is, but man can Halo's art be epic, and I feel sometimes the games don't capture it as much as they could. But like you said, its a common thing its the world of games/movies.

Hyper, you are wonderful. I was just about to shut off my computer and start a 4.5 hour drive. Now I have a Sparkast to listen to 9 times during the drive.

I guess lybertyboy and co. get some of the credit too. But mostly Hyper.

San Francisco build is from an internal test, was 3 weeks old when they had shown it. Apparently they're all '50's over at 343. :P

Wraparound, nothing like narrows, cracks in floor you can drop through to get away. Basic design is a big circle in the centre with a cross running through it, and it's a two level map
Man cannons on the level fire you into the centre. However, the line of sight into the centre is broken up by pylons, not a total killing field in the centre than.

Warhouse, a facility vessel, travelling through a crazy atmosphere. Man cannons feature on the outskirts of the map. One side of the map is a star field, one side of the map is filled with clouds, can be used to orient people.

The AR is 'kind of' beefy, (followed by sinister laughs), sounds amazing. Covenant weapons sound really good, Ellis was afraid of holding one because it sounded as if it would explode in his hand.

Special guests were shown significantly more at a recent visit. One particular level referred to as 7, specifically the opening of that level, really impressed Ellis.

They used H4 tech to create a freaky 'man-cortana'. Not many sleeps till new info, again, they repeat campaign was shown, but it was not only the thing shown to the guests. Clarified what they meant by story in multiplayer to the guests as well.

The DMR and The BR is in!

I took a bit of simple pleasure of the H2 and H3 ranking system being mentioned, even if that means nothing about the system in the game, at least the awful Reach Arena system seems to be forgotten.

I can only hear Jun talking about pylons when I hear that!

Yeah, they only answered one, but they did answer it (Achronos spearheaded and wrote up the stats API stuff). So I'm happy.

I imagine they're waiting until their stats are frozen before running queries against it.

Great news!

Hopefully there is also nothing homologous to a Regenerator, Power Drainer, or Armor Lock in the game either.

I know what you're talking about, but this was definitely a bug. It has since been fixed by one of our many awesome and talented and really good at Halo, engineers.

I could see bloom bring a viable option for reigning in the DMR without nerfing its range. Reach style bloom is definitely not what I want to see, though.

and lol @ Elzar.
