[The Librarian]

Still can't get the video.

 

[godhandiscen]

I am 30% down with the video.

 

[NH Apache]

Don't forget Firefight and the new 360....One of the vids is the unboxing of the new 360.

Whoops, hadn't seen the other thread.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

New screens look shit hot.

Ascension returns as Pinnacle:

 

[Drakken]

Downloading now! Super excited to watch this.

New screens look shit hot.

oh hell yeah.

"What are some of the tricks that the community is using, and how can we make those not be tricks, and just make those be tools."

Awesome.

 

[TheSeks]

New screens look shit hot.

COME ON BUNGIE YOU BASTARDS!

TURF
ENLONGATION!

TWO OF THE BETTER MAPS AND YOU HAVEN'T REMADE THEM!

*rage*

If I don't get a reveal of some "DLC hint" before Reach launches, I'm going to be a sad panda. Those were the only two maps I could stand to overplay in Halo 2.

Edit: As for the new forge: Neat. Looks to be more fun to mess around with than Halo 3's.

 

[DopeyFish]

whats going on at 4:41

 

[SpudBud]

Well this is clearly awesome.

 

[Slightly Live]

 

[kittens]

WARTHOG = HILL = WTF AMAZING.

 

[ant_]

Is it just me or does it seem like at some points they are shifting with gravity? Like individual objects have their own pull ( like Super Mario Galaxy or something )

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

The sheer scale of Forge World is absolutely fucking insane.

I don't have a creative bone in my body, but I can't wait to see what those who do come up with.

Headlong. Remake it, like yesterday.

 

[The Librarian]

Downloading now.

 

[Domino Theory]

Phase

Ascension
Sanctuary

Bungie fucking did it. FUCKING NAILED IT. SO GOOD.

How come people aren't talking more about Covy FireFight??

 

[A Penguin]

Sweet, very excited for this...not for what I want to do, but for what people who are far more talented than I will churn out (I expect great things vhfive).

 

[kittens]

whats going on at 4:41

Yeah, the path is twisting in some kind of freaky way. I really want to know what is up with this.

And hey, haven't seen you in forever!

 

[DopeyFish]

yeah looks like gravity switches

 

[Blueblur1]

I hate to sound like a fanboy but Forge 2.0 is phenomenal. I can't fucking wait for this game.

 

[Plywood]

At least the forge pieces look more consistent now. So are there any weather effects? (Still watching the trailer, so no one jump at me.)

 

[kittens]

Yeah, the weird gravity thing is at 5:00, too. The player clearly flips 180 degrees and lands on the ceiling. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?? :O:O:O

Edit: 5:31, too. This is fuggin crazy.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

COME ON BUNGIE YOU BASTARDS!

TURF
LONGEST!

TWO OF THE BETTER MAPS AND YOU HAVEN'T REMADE THEM!

fixed, and throw in headlong while you're at it.

 

[Schmitty]

Max Hype Achieved. I can't wait for this game. My fall semester grades will suffer

 

[DopeyFish]

Yeah, the weird gravity thing is at 5:00, too. The player clearly flips 180 degrees and lands on the ceiling. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?? :O:O:O

Halo/Prey like multiplayer?

 

[Tain]

Still no object scaling? They got those physics options in there, thankfully, but why not just let people turn a cube into a beam?

 

[Tashi]

Oh shit...Wizard

@5:10

 

[Shake Appeal]

The shitty stream diluted the hype. Once you see the tools being used in the video...

 

[GhaleonEB]

I still haven't picked my jaw up off the floor at the scope of Forge World. Just WFT. 0_o

Game of the forever, confirmed.

 

[Ramirez]

Ascension and Sanctuary=

 

[Shake Appeal]

Oh shit, Lockout.

 

[Subtervotion]

As far as I'm concerned, Forge World and Forge 2.0 will lead to remakes of EVERY halo map ever created. A few dedicated people will make perfect remakes, Bungie will recognize them, and they will be put into matchmaking. BELIEVE!

 

[UltimaPooh]

Already thinking of a Boarding action map! This time you can use jets to get across the level.

 

[onken]

That does look undeniably awesome.

 

[RedSparrows]

Yeah, there will be every Halo map ever in there.

What if they had a city-equivalent for FW too?

/greedysparrowsalwayswantsmore

 

[Schmitty]

Someone at the Q&A session should've asked if we can play as other Covenant species in Firefight other than Elites.

 

[The Librarian]

Epic...just epic.

Game of the year. I don't see any other game coming anywhere close.

Also, I wonder if we can remake Valhalla.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Beyond the canyon, indeed.

Matchmaking will never be the same if Bungie can harness the power of the community properly.

 

[Skilotonn]

Incredible.

I already said it in the other thread, but the community is going to eat this up, my goodness.

This game is going to last for like, an eternity - a fitting final Halo game for Bungie, they didn't hold back at all.

And I also wondered about the gravity in certain parts of the ViDoc when the player clearly flipped... hmmm.

 

[JesseZao]

Sweet! So I was right

 

[Schmitty]

Epic...just epic.

Game of the year. I don't see any other came coming anywhere close.

Also, I wonder if we can remake Valhalla.

Slip?

 

[Tashi]

So map remake checklist...

Ascension - Check
Sanctuary - Check
Lockout - Check
Blood Gulch - Check
Ivory Tower - ???
Wizard - Check

Did I miss anything?

I'm gonna watch the video a few more times to make sure I got everything.

Damn, Bungie did it right.

 

[Blueblur1]

Something I noticed...

 

[FilthyLies]

Yeah, the weird gravity thing is at 5:00, too. The player clearly flips 180 degrees and lands on the ceiling. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?? :O:O:O

Edit: 5:31, too. This is fuggin crazy.

Yeah, I was like who got Inception in my Halo?

Would like an explanation about that- is it really a gravity effect or just editing trickery?

 

[urk]

I still haven't picked my jaw up off the floor at the scope of Forge World. Just WFT. 0_o

Game of the forever, confirmed.

Find the Spartan in the high res image. Those curved platters on the upper left are each one half of Ascension's base bowl.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Ivory Tower - ???

I think this may be a proper, baked map.

 

[Slightly Live]

Full map list?
