Halogasm!
Can't disagree. Using the USPS tracker aswell seems to be worse as the last update their is two days before it left the united states. Granted, the expected delivery date isn't until september 6th.

Kind of a shame the modern warthog looks so plastic-y / toy-like.
That's nice, and smart.
That darn Bungie and their superior painted metal rendering technology.

Action Sack is a gift, jumped in for the first time last night. Oh My Lawd. Paintball, Minotaurs, Tank World, Riftball, Mantis Breakout...the hits just kept on coming game after game. Solid work all round there.
Also that Hog looks amazing, am I right in assuming there is a Covie Forza track for it?

That's most of 343i's art in a nutshell. On one hand you have Sanghellios and the new map Haven that looks phenominal. Everything else just seems kind of all over the place. Now that Jul's covenant is outbof the picture though I want to see a return to old Bungie era designs and colours.
...You do realize they're talking about Forza, not Halo 5, right?

That'd be fun. I think I just hardly meet the minimum specs....

Some guy went 70-9 on AnitFreeze CTF. I was curious how he did it. He pretty much just camped the Camo and IC all game. They still lost 2-0.
Well, luckily there is a vast array of potential maps already at your disposal.

I can't stand that. Sure slay for your team but don't just solo slay and ignore the fact you're in an objective game altogether.

That new skilltacular montage is out. Someone else can link it though, since mobile and lazy

Yeah, I watched the replay and he pretty much never left the area with the lift (camo\IC), the only time he left is when he died. He never once pushed the flag and he didnt even he jump on his teams flag to help prevent the caps. I looked at his profile, he has some ridiculous k/d, its like over three, but all he plays is BTB.

It's always been an issue with objective games. I'd like to see them remove K/D from the objective stats, just don't add it to slayer/arena stats, exclude it and give flag pickups, flag defends/returns, flag caps, time carrying the flag etc more weight in the stats/rewards.
It appears from the YT video description the course is an Australia course that is similar in appearance to Sanghelios. Cool AF.
Thats the coolest thing about all this honestly. When the PC players come in to play customs, they already have months worth of maps ready to play.

We don't know what happened, but Overgrowth, Riptide, Torque and Molten seem to be missing.
Oh no...

I’m playing pretty well, why is this game so close?
Oh, a teammate is -1 and 8, maybe he’ll get better.
Hmm, it’s still really close. Oh, he’s -2 and 10 now.
Oh we won! And he finished -1 and 13. He had 300 damage from a full slayer match...

So why is the original scout warthog shown when we already have a racing warthog, the Rally Scout? remember the description?:

Cause it's tacky. Plus OG color scheme is more recognizable for the casuals.

Doesn't matter, it still makes sense to put the racing Warthog in a racing game. but whatever...
Maybe people will recreate that paint job and tuning. But when doing a fan service it makes sense for the base paint job, the one that anyone familiar with Halo would recognize.

Then why not Arbiter Classic as the base skin for Killer Instinct? Classic was shoved off as an alternate skin instead of the base.
Does Forza have alternate skins for cars? if so then Rally Scout should be one.

Forza has a very detailed livery editor, this time on PC even, so I'm 100% sure all the scout warthog variant skins will be there very soon.
You're talking about a game that also has cargo vans as playable vehicles in it.
jizzlobber
Member
I get your point, but it's just a recent addition to warzone, this is fan service so I think the traditional hog is the best option.
plus the green rally hog looks shit
Users can essentially create any livery imaginable. I'd be surprised if other halo paint jobs weren't being circulated shorty after launch.
With KI i believe the devs explained their reasoning: For lore purposes, they wanted to use AN arbiter, not THE arbiter.
Wait, what? Horizon 3s livery editor is also on pc!? Oh right, the game is on pc. Never thought about the implications of that with paint jobs!
Yea I've seen folks spend hours recreating decals in painstaking detail using a controller.
I imagine KB/m will really open the floodgates.
SmartWaffles

Haha sure, livery editor is part of the game so of course it is on PC.
It is explained in Canon Fodder that this Arbiter is not THE Arbiter aka Thel'Vadam, but rather a collection of the Arbiter as a Sangheili role (Kaidon/justicar/suicide mission spec ops), which is also the reason they did not cast Keith David as the voice of KI Arbiter.

The Warthog looking so "matte" probably just has to do with how 343 handles rendering and how so much of the high-quality (read: campaign) models are matted out to the point of looking borderline cel-shaded at times; could just be an artistic choice, may have something to do with optimization / rendering everything more easily.
I think you have those backwards.
I think you have those backwards.
If I'm understanding you correctly, that's wrong, because we wanted to make multiple Arbiter variants right off the bat because of costume variants.
Was there any other candidates for the cameo, something similar to Nicole-458?
What happened to Nicole-458 btw, is she safe???
Honestly the first one we thought of made the most sense in that universe/style. Arbiter could have multiple costumes, has a sword, is alien and massive, and so on.
Briefly considered Brute/Spartan, but immediate and correct instinct was an Arbiter.
Nicole is very unlucky with time dilation and wormholes but is believed to be safe. Also, the Warthog was ALSO in DoA and destructible.

It was an ace choice, I also loved how Tom Salta used the Impend track from H2 for his theme
the Warthog was always head-canon confirmation that Nicole had a mode of transport out of there but I guess she could never beat Groundhog Day syndrome
"Nicole?!"
Looks like Tsquared is casting all season with Elamite

Watching Vetoed play on this white forge map with alot of grass on it. Plays better and looks better than a few arena maps. Once again 343 PLEASE go balls to the wall with Tom French. 200% effort into User Generated Content. Don't like MP maps? Put forge maps into MM, don't like the 343 made campaign? Download/buy a edited campaign level, not enough PvE content? Let people create little spartan ops mini levels with placeable AI, don't like how weapons look? Put in a browser tool that lets people rapidly put skins into the game. Charge REQ points and a option to spend a few bucks depending on what it is.
This is a absolute no brainer to me.
Also if you haven't seen this, WATCH IT
