So many beautiful locations and scenes in Halo 2.
Can Stinkles confirm that I'm going to drown in my own saliva on November 11th?

Hi GAF
I've never played Halo before. I got X360 now and going to buy X1 on September 5th.
I saw some writings about at local forums and some of the guys said "You may like it or not it's something differen". I really did not understand what did he wanted to say. Can you help me guy. What does Halo like ?
Thanx

Are we being punked, or is this just an ESL deal?
Anyway, to answer the question I... think... you're asking, Halo's kind of a hybrid tactical/arena shooter. If all you've played is COD, it may take some getting used to.

Halo likes guns, and he pretty much doesn't afraid of anything!
Are you interested in the story element of the franchise, or are you more multiplayer?

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Tactical/arena shooter is one I never heard of describing Halo, but somewhat accurate. You can't just go blazing in. Also, it's not a bunch of tight corridors but more open spaces, hence why he called it an "arena shooter".

I think story elements are important but after the story finished I'll spend probably 200+Hrs on multiplayer. I'm student and I don't have money to buy games frequently. 1game/2mnts

I thought the analyze thing from CEA was pretty cool and I wouldn't mind seeing something similar in h2a.
Also have they announced if the analysis/library thing is returning to CEA in the mcc?

I'd like to see a smartglass-enabled custom games browser, and the scan feature from CEA. That's about it; not much room for much else.
I knew it. Sod the square heads, Halo 3 was brilliant.

We need him to do a behind the scenes tour of 343 industries like he did with Bungie for halo 2

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Not expecting any kinect integration in MCC but smartglass might happen. Halo 5 should definitely have both. They have said it many times, it will use Xbox One to fullest. And not just graphics wise, but all the feature it offers. It will be interesting to see what they can do.

I'm excited for the H2A cutscenes yet saddened that we may never see Captain Keyes in glorious CGI.
Those H:CEA cutscene animations... *shudders*

Has there been any mention on if draw distances in H3 are being improved for the collection? Draw distances on geometry were very high, but for NPCs, bodies, objects and so on it was rather low.
Only if it's the same video just with redubs and bad overlay graphic edits for maximum tongue-in-cheekness

I now remember how I always wanted to go back to the Bungie Weekly Updates and piece together all of the subtle hints and references to things that were 'redacted' and not allowed to be revealed until a later date.
Seems like Frank was always teasing with "Just drove a new vehicle/played with a new weapon, but I can't reveal any specifics."
I even remember him strongly hinting towards the Drinol creature in Halo 2, but it was ultimately cut. I always wondered how far it got before being removed.

I asked for maximum 1080p-ness; those cats have jaggies. Pre-order cancelled.

If you guys already conversed about this i apologize for bringing it back up. Apparently in the Halo Waypoint forum it's confirmed there will be some sort of bridge mechanic in the new Halo 2 Anniversary Coagulation.
Here is the link:
https://blogs.halowaypoint.com/en-us/blogs/headlines/posts/the-halo-bulletin-7-10-14
The only thing i can think of that would make sense is maybe each base has water around it in some way, and the only way for a team to get vehicles to the base is to activate a bridge switch? Just a guess.
Thoughts?

Saw that in the bulletin; hadn't considered the idea of a moat, though. I think people were speculating that they might bridge two of the ridges. Anyway, I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love interactive maps. Having a bridge switch sounds awesome, pending implementation of course.

Man, the Bulletins are so much better now that Bravo is writing them.

Took some shots of Halo 2 on PC a couple months back. I am impressed by how good it still looks with my AA solution. The anniversary edition will be really cool with the new models and textures.

I got from a Best Buy a year or so ago, but I think Amazon still has it.

One of the guys over at TeamBeyond did a compare and contrast of Halo 2 on 360 w/ Halo 2 PC on max settings.
Will post soon.

Hey now, the dude was limited in what he could share
I liked his ramblings on the day to day of 343. Made it more personal.The images in that thread's OP are from the oXbox version, not 360 (there's a pretty significant different in IQ).
...The way the images are cropped and zoomed is a bizarre way to present the original game.

I was being serious, I like his bulletins far more than BS Angel's.

I won't be able to do them until Sunday or Monday as I don't have access to my main PC at the moment. It may also take a bit to set it up with the same AA configuration (I may try something different); but once I get home and set it up, no problem.

who's in for straight halo 1-4 campaign?
Poodlestrike

Hell yes.
Hell no.
Straight Halo 1-3 campaign sounds legit, though.
I don't want to make a huge Halo playthrough and then finish it off with prom knights and commentary from an incredibly whiny space vampire.

tbh, I don't even remember what BS Angel's bulletins were like. And for it being Community updates, that kind of says a lot.

Let me give you a few things that I hated
She talked about her smelly pits
She talked about her smelly feet
She talked about her boob sweat
I didn't like her updates.
Whoa what I don't remember that lol
