First of all, wow this thread moves fast.
It's so good. I've already dropped the avatar quote several times.
What's also funny is that shot is from a trailer, and the take that made it into the actual episode is nowhere near that dramatic of a facial expression.
I like this one.
Continue the suggestions though peps.
OT, just had a 14 hour school day, the third 10 plus hour day of the week. Weekend get at me!

This is going to take a while, but here's a list of all the maps that would have been ruined by a jetpack pre-Reach. Enjoy:
All of them.
Nope, that didn't take long at all. Being able to bypass map design that is intended to direct players down specific paths and choke points is completely negated by the ability to fly around. And if you account for the ability to fly around, you end up designing a poor map. Colossus keeps coming back into my mind. The whole design of that map would have been undermined with jetpacks. Objective game types go down the drain, too. Relic would have been ruined. Lockout would have been ruined. Midship would have been ruined. Warlock and Wizard would have been ruined. Small arena styled maps turn into games of morons flying around like idiots. And any map with multiple levels has a game enhancing limitation removed.
It's good to have limitations in certain games, especially a first person shooter. They play to the strengths of the map designers. Not being able to just fly anywhere you want gives a developer the ability to use choke points and direction/flow for making a strategic map. Jetpacks take a big fat dump on that useful tool.
Anyway, I just wanted to rant. Jetpacks are such a poor decision. Ugh... I want strategic maps, not lolwut maps ruined by circus clowns flying around.

Lol quick and dirty huh?
I had honestly pictured a more cartoonish, clean, simple design. Straight 2D perspective. You guys are the artists though.
Ok so let's nail down 2 or 3 names and then we'll have an official vote.
1. The Halo Honor Podcast
2. Breaking the Ceiling
3. ???
Then we can do the same for the logos

I think just naming it Halo Honor sounds better than The Halo Honor Podcast.

How about Dong Time? Too boring?
Edit: Nvm, just makes it sound like a podcast about dicks.

Interesting. Given Primordium and Cryptum, I was never too sure if we would be fighting the Flood or not. The new antagonist has to be more fun.
EDIT: HEY! Wait a second...why hasn't Frankie posted that on HaloGAF?!?!?!

New super-parasite. The Tsunami. Able to infect inanimate as well as sentient things. Think about it, all our dearest Halo paraphernalia running around like wild things; BRs, warthogs, traffic cones... Requiem is a weapon, but it's not a cudgel, you barbarian. It doesn't kill the Tsunami, it kills it's food: matter. It destroys all matter in the Galaxy.
Halo 5: Requiem 2: Electric Boogaloo. GOTF.

Do we get to rage because he posted it on Waypoint instead of here now?
We don't rage here because we are designers who respect each other.

It does in this shot, yeah. I don't remember it standing out that much, though.
Maybe no Flood, but I can see them balancing the new, more intelligent than Elites, ennemies with something brutal, but it could be robotic swarms or local beasts since Requiem probably holds up a large number of alien creatures.
Flood probably just doesn't fit the story of Halo 4 (Precursors barely acknowledged to better introduce them later in the trilogy?) , but for all the hate the Flood gets, and deserves, it gives a good adrenaline rush to maw through them.

Happy the Flood won't be in 4, already meh enough having the Covies there.
You know, I wonder if a factor in having Covenant to fight is to provide a more accurate comparision for players versus the new enemy.
That people would just say 'They're practically just Elites in a new skin, yadda yadda' so to avoid this you provide some combat context.

No Flood? Gotta say i'm a tad disappointed. The Pure Forms could have been tweaked to be more fun, they were a very good idea, if not exactly fun or succesful in-game. And since we know Covies are in... well, Humans vs Covies vs Flood vs the New Enemy (vs Sentinels and Forerunners, if the new one is not Forerunners)... well, that's make a nice big battle.

That's a very good point. Personally, I happy to fight the covenant for a portion of the game.
Kind of like a nice familiarity to the game, before they change it up.
Also I really wanna see those bad ass red energy sword wielding elites.
Elites are part of the Halo Universe.
Not fighting them is like not banging your ex after a drink.
That sad I'm happy they found a good reason to fight them, but in small numbers.
Curious about new ennemies.
Smarter = Forerunners for sure
I have no fucking idea
I think the new enemy might be a creation or creation, biological or mechanical/robotic in nature, that were designed as a counter measure to the flood, that is, they were created to eradicate the Flood and, maybe their food source. Sort of like the sentinels in GoO.......or it could be the Prometheans or something totally out of the left field.

It may have been but I don't see it as one being at the forefront of their minds. The simplest explanation (that I can think of) is that 343 wanted enemy variety plain and simple, and given the fractured state of Elite society after the events of Halo 3, it makes perfect narrative sense.
