Nothing has been announced, but we *know* cool stuff is coming in Forge. That's been said already.vhfive said:

Folks have a varying range of expectations from the modest to the impossible. No point getting into these at length but pinning down what fans are expecting is rather difficult.
The fact is, if Bungie is either overhauling Forge completely, simply adding a few extra options or something in between, they've kept quiet on this particular front up to now. And either way, concerning publicity and marketing, even if it was a modest set of enhancements they'd have to spin it positively least they slow down or de-rail the unstoppable hype train.
We know sweet FA really. No one here could list a single confirmed Reach Forge feature.
I'm expecting Bungie to go out with Forge 2.0 - it makes sense if you look what how they're expanding other areas of the game.
The only glimmer of Forge we've seen is through the April Fool's Vidoc for the fake Chess mode. I think it's littered with hints about new options, a new level and features. If you look past the obvious joke.

Personal opinion. I really enjoyed how flippy floppy (can i say that?) the warthog was in CE. And as for all the discussion on the banshee, I really wish aerial combat was confined to campaign only. I just don't think it should be in a FPS to begin with. It does not jive with the flow of the game and that has always been a pet peeve of mine. I want to focus on ground combat and not have take my attention away to look up in the sky. ANGRY!!!Dax01 said:
I feel the same way about aerial combat in multiplayer (stay out plz).Deputy Moonman said:
I think the banshee in ODST controlled the best out of the series. The reason being that bungie didn't have to worry about nerfing it for MP. They were able to focus on just making it fun.

Yeah, I prefer the handling in CE by far, it actually felt like it had some weight to it unlike the RC-car warthogs in the sequels.

Does anyone think the Power Drainer will make a comeback in some sort?

So now that all the E3 madness is over, what's the word on the HaloGAF Reach Beta montage?

I don't like how the new Warthog handles. Ever since Halo 2, Bungie has been making the Warthog slower and less fun to drive. This is still the case in Reach
Hai guyz.

Away from HaloGAF for the weekend, only to see the RB aftermath. Little scary in there.
But anyway, thinking about taking the 14th off for Reach. I only have so many vacation days left, so it's weighing it up and down between Halo and other vacation options.
Loved my 9 hour sit-down for H3, but also enjoyed playing ODST in sessions...
Got my Legendary pre-order in, hope there's enough demand for a Midnight opening either way.

That thread was a mess. As OT as we get we're never that bad and our OPs are always managed by crazies that update it all the time. Hopping between threads has been kinda bothersome but manageable. It'd be nice if the OPs listed all the other active Halo threads though.Zeouterlimits said:

Yea I'm confused. Which thread is the real HaloGAF thread? I need mah super thread.
There is none, and unless I've misread Evilore's posts, there will not be one until seven days before Reach ships, when I post the |OT|.Stormtrooper30 said:
We'll need to make new threads for significant news events as they occur until then. I'll post the annual Bungie Day thread per tradition (four years running now, woo), since that's likely to generate some goodies to discuss. Out side of that, I'm not sure where the best place is to discuss the BWU threads. Maybe have a master Bungie Weekly Update thread, for discussion? I could send a note to Evilore if you would like.
Go for it. That's what we used to do before megathread syndrome took over. Might as well have a new thread to discuss the BWU and the events of the week, unless major news occurs (new vidoc, feature reveal, etc.). HaloGAF can just migrate from one weekly thread to another or as events require.Dax01 said:

Wouldn't that just result in another super thread? I'll gladly post a thread for each BWU every week.GhaleonEB said:

So we can't have super threads anymore or what, kinda confused here and what is the RB incident everyone is talking about, I'm way out of the loop now.
Not enough bold for you? The lack of it didn't seem to bother anyone else.EazyB said:
The Rock Band thread was locked. Pull it up and skim through the last 400 posts or so for the saga. Pretty similar to the end of the Halo thread, actually: too much bullshit.CrazedArabMan said:

I still remember that day, it was a sad ending...
On that note, anyone following people they know work at Bungie? I have a Twitter list with eight (including BungieTweets). Some interesting tidbits from time to time posted. I've been looking now and then to see if anyone mentions ZBR.Falagard said:
No one was bothered by it because the only people that posted in the thread were the same people that would read the weekly update regardless. That could've been because the OP was so shitty that anyone who clicked on the thread thought "what do I care, they do this every week" or maybe no one else cares either way. He didn't bother to summarize anything and if anyone wanted to reach that info they would have had to wade through 20 pages of text or the 150 posts to find the info.GhaleonEB said:
This new policy is in place so that news is easier to find. That thread accomplished none of that. If Dax wants to continue making those shitty posts he may do so but if we want more people to post and information to get spread, he or someone else, should put just a bit of effort into it.
I agree in part. When I used to post them, I used to list the major topics covered in the title, and excerpt things to highlight in the OP. The problem that caused was people would just read the bolded stuff - which is what I was ribbing you about - and not read the rest of the update. The act of posting sections resulted in the conversation being largely limited to them; it was easier to just post the link and conversation developed more naturally. So I think there's a line to walk. Either way, I think a new thread for weekly updates would be a good thing, and the topics discussed should at least be in the thread title. Which is to say, the person posting it should read the thread first.EazyB said:
But that's just my posting style. I really don't care, so long as there's a place to discuss them.

I'll make sure to post what's being discussed in the weekly update for the next thread. I want people reading the weekly update, not snippets of it.
That's better. I personally find the updates fun to read but I can see why people outside of HaloGAF wouldn't. They're filled with a lot of fluff and the only newsworthy bits of it can almost always be summarized with just a few snippets. HaloGAFers will read all of it anyways and discuss each tiny detail, but convincing the general GAF population to participate when the title reads "Lots of Scrolling" and links to a 20 page wall of text is going to be tough. It'd be more beneficial if the OP actually read through the update and was able to give it a title like "BWU - Firefight custimization & two armor abilities yet to be revealed."Dax01 said:

Yea a summary would be nice, I can't always read the update in its entirety and it is nice to get the major points in the OP and then later go back to read through the whole thing when I have free time.
Ghal, if it's not too much work, can we pick one of your threads to post links to other HaloGAF threads for reference in the OP? That way I know which is the latest and greatest Halo threads?
I must admit I am one of the guys here who do not participate in any other GAF threads outside of Halo. :T

Do you not use the subscribe option for threads? If you sub to all of them you will know which one is currently being discussed.
I just refresh the User CP tab for all my threads.
Nope I don't use the subscribe option. Actually I never have. I guess I can do that as an alternative since I try to post in all the Halo threads and then get used to finding a new weekly Halo thread each week up until the Mega thread is posted.
I just find it funny that the intent of a non-mega Halo thread is to bring the info to the masses to the top of the forum is making it harder for me to get my daily HaloGAF fix. I've been spoiled having one thread bookmarked this entire time :lol
