All the arguing about COD comparisons is getting old.

Can we go back to arguing about Grunt skin?

I'm expecting mini-missions that will include Firefight-like scenarios. They'll be released on a weekly basis, and once released we can go back and play them any time. I'd be surprised if they lasted only a few weeks, though. I'm expecting at least three months of content.

Yeah that's what I've read as well but the quote about the "few weeks, but not months" came from the article that Frankie supposedly said.

I can see how essentially releasing 5 new "Firefight-like" maps each week for a few weeks would be enough content to last for a long time... it's just weird that the new mode will only see new content for a couple weeks considering the likely lifetime of the game.

I understand it's a ton of content (especially considering the story-telling part of it), but if it's replacing Firefight then you'd think it would be able to stand alone for the duration of game's life (which I'm guessing it will). Guess we need more details...

Some hilarious stuff here, would watch again

Whoa, the BR is a 5 shot kill? Magnum is 6Sk with only an 8 round mag? WTF?

I hope that changes before launch.

Impressions from playing it for the first time at an event might come into play there. I don't think either of those numbers are right (the 8 round mag for the pistol is probably sadly true though).

I have a feeling that they will further support it if it is a success. I hope it is.

They are also letting retailers set the price for the games they sell. Its weird when Nintendo is doing more smart shit than Microsoft and Sony.

Add in the fact that Nintendo has clan support with over a thousand people in each group/clan allowed for their games now... what the hell is MS doing with all that subscriber money?

I mean, Nintendo is catching up in other areas that they need to. But they did just announce that they're going to title update MarioKart 7 now. So they're getting parity in the other areas they were behind Sony and MS with.

I remember when I tried to make Citadel in H3 Forge based off of some early screenshots I saw. Good God was I off. lol This guy looks like he's putting a bit more research into it than I did. Wu, help him!

Also, google.doc!

Nintendo really can come back big time with the WiiU if they do things right and right now its looking like they are.

20 and 1 my first game. 24 and 5 my second. Good to see Reach kids are as bad as ever.

Oh whoops I'll do that now. Got buried by work and applying for a passport.

You saw the new CC directive, right?

Damn it man. If you YY reload the sniper in Reach, it jams. I just couldn't get an overkill because of it.

One might say that your stream is of première qualité.

Classic.

I love the classic playlist. Hands down easiest playlist in the game.

Stupid game repays me by giving me a bad host and two team mates that go 1 and 18 and 1 and 14.

I'd be cool with a 10 shot kill pistol as long as the rate of fire is rapid (like Reach Beta Pistol on steroids).

People who have played it: "It looks great, plays like Halo, and the changes are good"

Internet: "Good god they've CODized my Halo! Anyone who thought this was a good idea should be fired! What a bunch of morons at 343"

Plays like Halo could mean plays like Halo: Reach.

The problem is the people who have played it have no idea why I love Halo, so their idea of "plays like Halo" might be that the AR is still there.

I've been keeping an eye out for comments that do touch on why I love Halo. Some of the impressions mentioned how fluid movement was, how agile they felt playing. I took that as a good sign after Reach.

Cool, I could only watch half of it live (had to leave) and I was really enjoying it. Will watch the rest now.

I'd say that's correct, 343i are in no hurry to clarify that it's not the case despite a bunch of terrible aspects of that game returning

[Tashi]

I think that's different for everyone too. Are there universal things that make Halo, Halo? It's pretty interesting to think about. I honestly feel like the graphical style is unique and that is one part. Shields is another big thing. To me there isn't a single Halo that doesn't feel like something other than Halo. It's a combination of things.

[Devolution]

Here's why I don't like extraneous shit: it gets in the way of overall good competitive play. I'm one of those people who just likes a stripped down game with not that much shit going on. As such I guess I'll just be left in the dust when it comes to more and more games, since it's all about stupid gimmicky shit that I couldn't care less about.
