The only true answer MK V or bust.

Frank. You Tease.
Speedy spends a shit ton of money on avatar crap though. So more Mister Chief avatar items confirmed...?
That being said, I hope something good is planned for bundles. Especially including that sweet white Xbox One. Have a feeling though that this year's H2A bundle will be like the titanfall one, while next year's possible Halo 5 bundle will be one of the good ones.
Stop giving Wahrer ideas.
So Halo 2 Anniversary bundle
Hmmmmmm.

I doubt they will bundle a rerelease. I think he means since Halo 2 will release that he will resub to xbl to play it online.
Nah this is:
If there is an actual halo 2 anni bundle I might actually go get one.

You cant tell him anything, he's so blind to any criticism of 343.
its an Action figure expansion pack.
They could mass produce those damn grunt plushies too.

they've already confirmed a halo game is coming this year, they just refuse to acknowledge it's H2A

I don't think they'll make a special edition console, but H2A bundled with XB1 isn't that far-fetched. I could definitely see it happening. It would probably end up being a digital version of the game.

Them confirming Halo 2 Anniversary is like Sakurai revealing Mewtwo and Ridley.

Halo CE:A was great but it was evident many of the assets came from Halo: Reach. The vast majority of models for instance.
I wonder if Halo 2:A will use Halo 4 models. I can't imagine a Halo 4 elite in Halo 2.
Pretty pumped to see
Arbiter
Johnson
Miranda
Hood
Chief
Flood
Hunters
Tartarus
Brutes in General
Michelle Rodriguez Marine
I'd love them to use Halo 5 models for it but I doubt that will happen, I'd rather it wasn't just a HD port either. A full HD remake like CE:A would be much better.

so it wont happen?
Assuming that H2A was actually in the cards for longer, I expect it would be more featured. Saber had a year to make CEA--it's sort of to be expected they would use H3 and Reach assets where they could.
For me Halo 2 had the best looking Elites of the series (minus their hunching for multiplayer), so would love to see a remake that kept that spirit.
HNNNNG YOU TEASE YOU
Halo 4 assets are pretty awful, IMO. I can't think of one redesign where I thought "hey, this looks pretty damn awesome now". Really hope they don't use them.
Like could you imagine if they used Halo 4 marines with their orange and green suits? It would break any urge I'd have to keep them alive. And then you have grunts. There's a section of Gravemind where you come across a bunch of brutes attacking grunts. You kinda feel bad for the little guys because they look powerless. And kinda cute (OST at that point is amazing which helps). Throw in Halo 4's redesigns and suddenly it's hard to relate to any of them. Hell, any of the Covenant on the wrong side of the Schism
Okay, they did a great job with the AR but that isn't in H2

Hey man, watch the OT talk! But I might be on Halo 4 tonight, finally bought Spartan Assault myself but Heavies was fun so hopping on for a bit sounds good.
Just beat Halo 4 for the first time. I played ODST, Reach and 4 all within the last 7 days since I had never played them and it's time to pack away the old xbox.
Anyway Halo 4 had really good guns, gun sounds and graphics. Other than that, both ODST and Reach shit all over Halo 4's campaign. Especially Reach, that game was badass. Huge environments compared to 4's endless close quarters fights.
Oh and Chief, chill out, Cortana is a computer program not your girlfriend. And she's annoying.

Out of curiosity what weapons are you talking about?

Assets from 3 were used as well?
Is there more info on this anywhere
Halo 3 weapon models were used for certain weapons: The AR, Pistol, Plasma Rifle.
Pretty sure all vehicles and the rest of the weapons were from Reach.
Also all enemies, minus the Flood (new models) and the Sentinels (since Reach didn't have Sentinels, they are likely from Halo 3), are from Halo Reach
The Bumblebee lifepod pilot was from Halo 3 also (minus the helmet).
Oh, right. Really difficult to remember something that appears for perhaps 20 seconds total in the game. Not to mention i haven't really watched the cutscenes more than twice or thrice, at most, usually i just skip them.
It did stand out rather annoyingly now that i think of this. Pretty sure Reach had human models that would have suited the pilot just as well. Though perhaps the fact it doesn't appear for more than 20 seconds or so lead the devs not to care the Halo 3 models is pretty low quality compared to Reach models.
I haven't played it in a while but the AR and Plasma Rifle in CEA have far too many polygons to be from H3, right? At least that's how I'm remembering it.
Pistol is a new model too. And the Flood was from Halo 3. They kinda look different because of the different effects as you shoot them but I'm 90% sure they're ripped straight from it

I got coffee in my solar-powered keyboard. Feels bad, man.
Yeah, I'm hoping for Halo 5 previews. Gears of War Elites would be bizarre for such intelligent covenant.
#WahrerCollection
Since I explicitly mentioned not having an XBO today, I have to assume this means a Halo Xbox One. Like, a Halo-themed Xbox One, not the game.

It's only a matter of time.
Listen, when you go through hell and back again, and then back in again, with absolutely no person you can call a real friend except for a AI (not a computer program in that sense of the word) --- excepting Sgt. Johnson, sort of, but he's kind of dead, and who tf knows where Arby is --- then sure, maybe you won't start having a bit of an emotional attachment to your little friend.
Seriously, man, she's literally the ONLY thing he has right now. Honestly, if I were in that sort of situation, losing Cortana and all, I'd probably kill myself. The poor guy's got nothing left. If Halo 5 doesn't focus on that part of the story, I don't know what I'm going to do. I kind of have hope they will though, since they mentioned something about it being the darkest of the three if I remember correctly.

We can only hope. Sakurai is about as stubborn as 343 was in the first 6 months of H4.
The Plasma Rifle could be from Reach but if it is, it has new, Halo 3-like texture. Or perhaps an old texture, a Reach pre-release texture (http://www.halopedia.org/Plasma_Rifle#Gallery).
The AR is straight from Halo 3, no changes but the ammo counter.
The pistol is from Halo 3 as well, not a new model, though it may have new texture too. You can see it is from Halo 3 from the fact it has long barrel, just like Halo 3 M6G has.
As for the Flood, the combat forms at least are heavily modified. The Infection form is from Halo 3.
Cortana is from Halo 3 too, of course. Which makes me wonder, is Cortana in Reach from Halo 3 as well?
Playing with some HBO/Customs chaps now. Saw you were online but was finishing up Iron Brigade.
Iron Brigade is so good.
OT: I was in target today and they had Halo 4 GOTY ed. for $35 (5 off). Gah, I want it, but I'm loving being mostly digital right now.
Digital + affordable (on a console) = not possible. Thanks Obama.
Cortana in Reach looked like the Halo 2 one. At least from my memory.
edit:

Looks like they made a Reach specific version of Cortana. She has elements of H2 Cortana and H3 Cortana.

Can't explain not been able to get on live,
But I had that issue when my net was down. Can't play any of the DLC (strategic pack and historic map pack) without Internet connection.
Pretty ridiculous.
Hopefully 4s assets aren't used for H2A. Id like to see it given it's own look.
The single shot rifle and the battle rifle are both awesome. I also used the light rifle quite a bit.
And yea to the guy who tried to convince me that Cortana should matter, she's still just a piece of code. An annoying piece of code at that. I really hope she's not in Halo 5 or that she doesn't chime in every five seconds.
Definitely agree
Well, while I'm not terribly fond of the style they've gone for in the comic; comic art is a lot different from the concept/book cover art above.

you must not know anything about AI or Halo's expanded Universe. because you are very uninformed or just being that way for some other reason.
Chettlar was explaining from the CHARACTER'S perspective why Cortana is important, if you cant grasp that then its YOUR problem.
this is true. and the art in the newer issues of Escalation is far better than missing limbs and hastily photoshopped "hologram" fields.

I just hope they dont add any where near the amount of bloom they did with CE.
Also keep sword flying and all the glitchs for campaign.

Statue is pure Sex. Also how long has he had this armor? It's suppose to be the same armor since the beginning of Halo 2 right?
Canonically it's the MKVI that he put on in Cairo Station. But I'm pretty sure it's one of those things that we're supposed to just ignore and chalk up to engine developments or whatever. Like how the armour changed between Halo 2 and 3. Just a lot more drastic
They touched on the concept of nano machines in Glasslands but that was on Naomi's MKVII, not the MKVI (which begs to question why they brought it up in the first place)
