While we know about Guardians in the Outer Colonies and on Sanghelios, we get a "Earth Guardian" model in the LE. Sounds like we finally visit Earth again in H5!?

Wow, horrendously slow DL speed for the latest 3gb patch. Shouldn't take this long.

Edit: Its chugging along! Don't recall the % ever increase suddenly. I hope SWAT is still available.

There is a new update? Or are you downloading the ODST patch from last month?

Also, SWAT is a permanent playlist.

It just ended but I'm sure they'll have it up on the site soon.

Should definitely check out the last segment!

Edit: The craziness starts around 3:28:12 but I recommend watching the whole last segment.

Is there any actual Halo talk? I've been watching for a while and they really aren't talking about anything, they are just drunk and giggling.

They weren't AFK or anything, all of them were trying, but they were just really, really bad. Surprised my K/D wasn't worse then -1.

Don't think there is any correlation there. I think it depends on how you speak/think. When I'm holding a gun and I'm shooting low at a target I say, "I need to pull it up a bit." Some say, "I need to aim higher."

I "pull up" on the joystick as if I'm holding a gun. There is a lot of ways to look at it, but no side will be convinced lol. I can rotate between both methods fairly easily.

Ok this is huge for me and I'm sure huge for others here

I just had the realisation that with backwards compatability, we can get proper multi screen local games going

I have about 3 copies of xbox 360 halo 3 if I consider games with gold and odst multi disk

That means I can set up my Xbox 360 in the living room on one screen and my Xbox one in my bedroom on another screen and get multi screen halo going easily

Would be fantastic for 1v1's or 2v2's, I have a delusional friend who blames screen watching for me 15-0'ing him so I can't wait to get multi screen going.

Please enable halo 3 for backwards compatability 343

They mention in one of the videos that all the first party games will be BC at some point. The only ones they are still working on technical issues for are the multi-disc ones.

Already planned a LANesque party with uni people.

Backwards compatability on its own doesn't sound that exciting but when I take advantage of it for this kind of thing I'm super happy it's coming

I don't think so. I'm right handed.

Yeah neither side is going to admit defeat. But that's a great way to explain the difference, Fahzinvertin

Been playing MCC tonight. Really bad lag and obviously not dedicated servers.

Why is this so flakey?

I can usually get 3 or 4 games out of 5 that are ok but when it starts juddering it really bugs me. They are really close to having it so I can tell my friends to jump back in. I wish they'd turn off the p2p stuff if possible or greatly improve the dedicated server system. When it works it's great.

The person that uploaded the sprints to Youtube - my fave person of the day. Only up to the 3rd E3 one but already am most impressed. The music - from Halo 5? If so it's working it's magic on me.....

For sure man. I played last weekend and it was amazing for 6 hours. Last night was a nightmare.

Someone mentioned a fan competition to design skins. I'd love it if 343 released png images of all the vanilla weapons, so we could draw on top of them like the art director in The Sprint Episode.
