Halo 2 and 3 multiplayer (never played 4 and forgot how Reach was) was great for two reasons:

1. Rankings determined by wins/losses
2. No unlockable gear/weapons/perks
3. No worrying over K/D ratios

It was fantastic always being matched with players of equivalent talent. COD-style blowouts (ex. 75-25 on team deathmatch) just didn't happen very often as I remember it.

since advancing in rank was ONLY based on winning, it forced people to communicate if they wanted to progress

 

[Pathos]

What did he say?

 

[BigTnaples]

Some PC maps are not in, confirmed.

 

[statham]

Frankie confiming TLG!!!!! rofl

that was awesome.

 

[link1201]

hopefully that's true... my fiancee and I aren't going to buy a second xbone just for this, and Halo is useless to me without split screen goodness.

They just confirmed it again during the stream.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

How are they fitting all this on one disc? I realize Blu-ray is around 50GB but I'm surprised they can still fit everything on one disc.

HHnnnngggggg.

Love that switching is instant now, and that models are taken from all games.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Funny joke about MS taking PC seriously, Frankie.

I can see them putting this out on steam. Next year.

 

[Schryver]

No PC maps. Will not buy

 

[Falagard]

PC maps are not in, confirmed.

He actually said, in this thread, that a couple PC maps are in, but not all of them.

 

[The Lamonster]

TLG joke too soon, Frank

[Miles Quaritch]

Oh damn at that TLG jab.

small back and forth gif of h2

Oh my, looking stunning. Need more footage.

 

[AdanVC]

I like the box art and the helmet that goes from low res polygons with Halo Combat Evolved to full res polygons with Halo 4. Very cool.

 

[Heysoos]

What did Frankie say?

 

[FrankT]

Dat Last Guardian burn right in their faces, wahaha.

Too soon?!

Haha

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Frankie comin' through with that sick burn hahaha

[LNBL]

IGN has a live stream of it right now:

http://ca.ign.com/videos/2014/06/09/ign-live-presents-e3

OMG how do i turn off comments in youtube? Racist pricks all over the place

EDIT: found it!

 

[Kelsey]

I'm pretty sure they just confirmed them

They confirmed they wont be in.

 

[Portugeezer]

What did he say?

He was asked something like what else he is enjoying seeing at E3 or wants to see, and he answered something about sunset overdrive, then mentioned the last guardian "that is definitely coming" right? "too soon"? (in reference to IGN's bullshit article yesterday)

Ryan Mcaffreey didn't know how to react.

 

[XMast3r]

Frankie speak fro super bounces not working

 

[Schmitty]

I love you Frankie. Just straight answers and that burn

 

[Jarmel]

This isn't a live action shot right?

 

[Homeboyd]

What does Forge on Halo 2 even mean? There are 2 different iterations available here... Halo 3's (which isn't really forge as we know it today) and Halo 4's. Guessing we will be using Halo 4's forge (objects etc...), but you can use Halo 2 maps as a canvas? Or is there a new forge created for Halo 2, and then Halo 3/4's original forge(s) are available with those specific maps.

Need some clarification.

 

[BigTnaples]

He actually said, in this thread, that a couple PC maps are in, but not all of them.

Gotcha. Easy to be confused. So some PC maps not in, confirmed.

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Dat burn Frankie...

Nope. CG. Pretty good though right?

 

[LNBL]

Fuck.

Oh my

 

[ElRenoRaven]

So that was interesting. Every shipped map it seems. Now I wonder if the PC Halo 1 maps might find their way in too. I know they're bringing Halo 2 vista's maps over. Would be insanely cool to have them all for Halo 1 also.

 

[Flintty]

Dat Last Guardian joke lol

Lol! I thought I misheard. I had to rewind. Was not disappointed.

My wife is not going to understand why I need to play through all the main Halo games again...

 

[The Librarian]

Fantastic interview. Loved the teases we got for the menu.

Gosh, I am so damn excited.

 

[defghik]

Strange that there's still no news on what the netcode will be like in Halo 1 and 2 multiplayer, as it will have a huge impact on the game.

 

[Exploratory]

Forge in Halo 2.

=/.

I'm buying a damn Xbox One.

 

[Syrus]

I nver played 1-2 so I'm excited. I played the others .

Was halo 5 1080p or just 60 fps?

 

[BigTnaples]

Strange that there's still no news on what the netcode will be like in Halo 1 and 2 multiplayer, as it will have a huge impact on the game.

Still?


The game was announced hours ago. What planet are you living on?

 

[The Librarian]

They talked about that in the IGN interview.

It's already been confirmed and there was a screenshot before showing the map selection screen with 2 PC maps on there. There will be some but not all.

 

[divinedbullet]

Halo PC contained several new features that the Xbox version of Halo lacked, namely the ability to play the game in "Safe Mode." However, Safe Mode was not necessary for the Xbox version because the Xbox has a standard graphics card and does not slow down. The game comes with several exclusive multiplayer additions such as the six new multiplayer maps which are Timberland, Death Island, Gephyrophobia, Danger Canyon, Ice Fields and Infinity, discarded weapons from the Xbox version which are the Fuel Rod Gun and Flamethrower and vehicles such as the Banshees and Rocket Warthog.




Someone start a petition .
I want all this exlucisve stuff from Halo 1 on this game.

 

[Portugeezer]

I nver played 1-2 so I'm excited. I played the others .

Trailer just said 60fps, but who knows. Probably sub-1080p if I had to guess.

 

[BigTnaples]

Forge in Halo 2.

I'm buying a damn Xbox One.

There will not be forge in Halo 2. Just Halo 3 and 4.

 

[7DollarHagane]

This isn't a live action shot right?

IDK i'm calling bullshot or that the cut-scenes are pre-rendered..

I might believe that kind of quality from Halo 5 or an original title but not from an anniversary edition remake in real time.

 

[RdN]

TLG joke by Frankie was awesome, hahahah.

Game looks amazing. Can't wait.

Ryan Mcaffreey didn't know how to react.

And then someone said "WOW!"

 

[Dreadnought]

Did Frankie contradict himself?

 

[Bsigg12]

There will not be forge in Halo 2. Just Halo 3 and 4.

They confirmed on the IGN stream forge will be in 2.

 

[Red]

There will not be forge in Halo 2. Just Halo 3 and 4.

You know something we don't?

Forge in 2 was confirmed. Also online co-op.
