The wait for the new info Monday is too much. 
I really hope besides new campaign info we get some info on Firefight 2.0 or whatever it is as well.

I'm expecting Firefight and Campaign information during E3, then Forge 2.0 later on.

Pretty much. Also depends on whatever other surprise features there may or may not be in the game.
And Halo Wars 2.

Works pretty well for the 360. Didn't folks saying it would be too dumbed down on the PC due to comparisons with other RTS's?
Well, bring on HW2. I just want more high budget FMV. Easily the most impressive part of HW was those cut-scenes.
I'm not saying there aren't good things about Steam, but I wouldn't want it to be steam exclusive. If I want to play a game, I only want to wait for it to load, not Steam to load too. ESPECIALLY if I'm just playing single player.Sai-kun said:This is why I like Steam actually. No stupid code to enter when I want to install it, I don't have to carry around my CD to install it. Just be on a computer with Steam, download it and play
Also, c-c-c-combo breaker for the ManCannon quotes.

You expect Halo Wars 2? What makes you expect that?
I agree with Dax though, I'm really expecting Firefight and campaign to be the big "reveals."
They may tease us a little with Forge though, I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility.

Not expecting it, wanting it.
I'd be very surprised if a new Halo game, not Reach, wasn't teased/revealed in some fashion though.
Then again, I like being spoiled rotten. New Reach information and media is more than brilliant enough especially with the mountain of stuff for other games.

Dani said:
Ah, gotcha. I wonder who would be behind a new Halo wars though since Ensemble is no more. Who would you expect to pick it up?
That would fit the pattern of a new Halo game being announced before the next one is released. Halo Was was announced before Halo 3 shipped, ODST announced before Halo Wars shipped, Reach announced before ODST shipped. Makes sense we'd have something about the next Halo game before Reach ships.Dani said:
But for some reason, I'm not expecting any news of it at E3; I think Reach is big enough that MS won't want to preempt it.
Kibbles said:
Hmm not sure I follow... where'd that sentiment come from and in what timeframe did it occur? All the Reach stuff I'm aware of will start next week. We didn't provide anything new to GTTV for a preview.
We have a few different folks joining Urk and I at e3 this year but Staten will not be in attendance.
It should be an exciting, exhausting week. Only three months to go!

I think he may be confusing the GTTV Monday Exclusive show with todays preview show.

Right, that's it. E3 needs to move to Ireland.

Ahh, okay. I was just wondering because I believe urk said that in a recent update, and Ghaleon kept quoting it. The quote just makes me think we would see something before E3, but I guess that isn't the case.ManCannon said:Hmm not sure I follow... where'd that sentiment come from and in what timeframe did it occur?

Yeah.. we're not able to sell actual Halo stuff in the Bungie store.
We'll have buttons aplenty at all the major stuff this summer - e3, comic-con, PAX, Gamescon, etc... Maybe Urk will whip up a reason to mail some out as well. Our e3 staff t-shirts should be arriving soon, I'll post of pic of those too. (and we'll set a few aside to use for a contest or some such later)
Also don't worry, a HaloGaf agent has been deployed and will be embedded in some of the action next week.
Edit:
Oh, it's something Urk said? Well, that explains it.

Doubt we'll see any multiplayer. Firefight seems likely.
I hope we get a surprise reveal of some new mode we're not expecting.
Ramirez said:
I hope we get a stage demo, but I have a feeling its just going to be some campaign footage cut together towards the end of the presentation. Multiplayer and firefight stuff will probably come from the demo's and floor reveals on the showfloor with write-ups following closely behind.

So what else has the team been doing while you were busy with the fun and games provided by the Beta besides making everything better? Kicking every single ass they lay eyes on, that's what. I'm shocked and surprised most of the team hasn't been arrested for excessive awesome. Should be a crime to be so cool under pressure.
On the heels of the fifth campaign playtest the team continues work at a blistering pace to make sure all the sweet stuff we've promised to include, and all the amazing stuff you don't even know about yet, is ready to go for prime time.
For a little bit more about the phenomenal progress being made, check out Marcus' most recent remarks over at Noble Actual.
You might be seeing the fruit of the team's laborious but glorious labor sooner than you think. Can't wait to see the stupid look on your faces when you bear witness, too. Stay tuned.

Since we'd already been primed to expect Campaign content at E3, and the secion above was about campaign, that made me think we'd see something on campaign ahead of E3. Sounds like he was referring to E3 itself, though. Regardless: this is going to be a fun week. It has me excited for Reach and nostalgiac about E3's past, all at once.

As much as I want to see Forge at E3 I have almost no expectations of it being there. Not really the venue for that type of reveal. I suppose they could demo it behind closed doors but still I'd be very surprised.Alienshogun said:
Looking back at the podcast where they covered forge, they opened with "forge is an object editor." I want them to open with "forge is a map editor" this time.

You can also get them at ExpertZone starting July 1st.
Regarding L4D mode, I want the ability to play campaign with a party of 8, four of whom play Covenant units while the other four play the mission.

Don't forget a trailer during the main conference presentation. I'm expecting something really awesome, something to kick start the next phase of the marketing. The previous trailers so far have been teasers and reveals. We've met Noble Team, we know Reach is going to fall but it's time we get a glimpse of it all in action.
Big battles, explosions, overwhelming numbers and Spartans.

I wonder when we will see the next step in the live-action Birth of a Spartan promo campaign.
