Alright so we fight the Transformers in celebration of the annoucement that Bay(hem) is going to bring the Halo Universe live.

Could be fun to kill beasts and other creatures, might give a little more unexcpectedness to the camapaign as it will be hard to know the ennemies patterns since they will change a lot according to the place visited.

Damn me if the concept trailer showed the Didact.

Has Jen Taylor been confirmed? I remember hearing something a while back, but I've completely blanked.

BELI343

I'll kill someone if Eddie Prinze Jr does the Didact's Voice.

Pretty sure she was.

Watched all of 'Social Skirmish', good stuff on the whole.

 

[Blueblur1]

I'm not really a fan of 'Halo Honor'. But I haven't come up with anything myself. I recommend waiting a little bit and letting others chime in before deciding on going with one name or another. I do like 'Breaking the Ceiling' but that joke has a limited lifespan anyway (like all jokes). I'll try to come up with suggestions today.

That is excellent, actually. That is the kind of name and logo we should go for, IMO. Simple and memorable.

What the hell is MLP doing in this thread?? I hope this new thread will give is better stuff than what we've gotten right now

No flood is good news though!

Please rotate HaloGAF members into the podcast. Have some fixed people, but keep bringing people in.

In my head I keep imaging this for podcast appearances.

I don't like ME, but that video you posted on twitter...LMAO

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Played about 2 hours of Reach last night for the first time in a while. Wow people in the Team Slayer base playlist are bad. Everyone was lower level that I was and just not good.

Was fun though.

 

[Shadders]

Has the music from the Composing Worlds ViDoc been released without all the talkiness yet?

 

[Shake Appeal]

Can you guys post a little slower please?

Posted? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnCu4cpDB-w&feature=g-all-u&context=G2430076FAAAAAAAACAA

Yeah, it showed up a week and a half ago, after being posted by the creator. Gabotron ES (RIP for another couple of weeks) linked to it then.

It's ridiculous, you know, that 400 posts showed up overnight. This should still be relevant, 10 hours after posting.

Are we making a HaloGAF podcast? That would be awesome!

We'll bang, OK?

 

[neoism]

I am probably going to be there but I do not like to be touched and do not make direct eye contact with me.

Frankie you know you would give a fan of yours a hug if they asked nicely.

Ok, here's the second one, if you haven't seen it yet.

Damn whore.

Hmm, why did he get banned anyways? Let's talk shit about invasion seeming as he can't defend it at the moment.

[Arnie]

Just seen the new title. Commendable work.

You been screwing dead reapers haven't you?

N-nooooo. It is not a thing you can comprehend.

I had to join them. Nothing wrong with me, is there?

There's dozens of those and they tend to be childish but hilarious

Never seen them before but not suprised at the (awesome) stupidity.

Are there any Halo ones?

This is something similar. don't know if you've already seen it or not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPtq1VpmBdY&feature=relmfu

There are but they're kinda bad =\

New Thread. I always miss out on the first page.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

So how do you guys plan on doing Campaign first in Halo 4? I always play through with my younger brother, this is a tradition started since the first Halo back in X-Mas 2001.

So how do you guys plan on doing Campaign first in Halo 4? I always play through with my younger brother, this is a tradition started since the first Halo back in X-Mas 2001.

I used to do this with every halo game, except ODST. I wanted to feel alone while playing it.

I'll probably play Halo 4 by myself too. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be moving out of my parent's house this summer.

I'm going SLASO.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm a bit disappointed we won't be fighting the flood. Given the recent books and the role they've played I really thought they would be a major focus and we would learn even more about them. Maybe we'll learn about them but don't have to fight them, that could work too I guess. The flood just became so much more interesting after I read the books.

I'll be playing Halo 4 on Heroic solo first, then a solo legendary run, just like I have since the first. Then I'll be playing some co-op campaign.

 

[Trey]

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.

You tried to save it at the end there, but no. You are awarded no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

I wasn't really speaking for the rest of the game.... But yeah, I guess I feel the same way. Halo's AI spoils me when it comes to any other game out there!

Spoiler

Crysis 2's visuals are really, really awesome. Just a little repetitive though.

I did get a little off point there, my bad. I noticed it as I was typing but I was on mobile and was like "fuck it, it'll have to do."

 

[zlatko]

I haven't kept up with one thing going from Bungie to 343. What happens to Bungie.net? Will a new site with the same functions be used by 343 and take all the info from bungie net? Will Bnet still be used by 343 when H4 drops?

Anyone know?

Um... Bungie.net will continue to provide info about Bungie games. They're no longer showing new Halo info, and that won't change, going forward.

 

[Der Flatulator]

Create Game.
Why would it say create, unless there is some kind of Custom Games browsing or something to that effect. If it were regular games, and you are host/party leader, it shouldn't say create, as you can 'pass' lead to other members.

Could be reading too far into that though, maybe they're just changing stuff around...

It's already happened.

Yeah I literally had the same thought.. All I posted was "custom games browser" in the thread so no one probably knew what the hell I was talking about (or referencing).

But yeah.. I overthink things a lot too.

 

[king picollo]

Haven't people been asking for a customs games browser since Halo 2?

Could they actually give people something they want, instead of forcing rubbish like armour abilities on us!

 

[squidhands]

Can you guys post a little slower please?

No kidding; this is the latest I've been to a Halo thread party since I've been here. You guys really need to adjust to my schedule (pronounced "shh-ed-yule" like a wannabe Brit, not "skeh-jool" like the filthy 'merican that I am).

 

[Der Flatulator]

OT: EVERYBODY download Fez, even just the demo. Amazing game!

I'm not getting my hopes up, but... It would be amazing!

 

[Tha Robbertster]

I hope 343 will change the color of teammates on the radar back to yellow. From what we've seen now, teammates show up as green and that could be a real problem for colorblind people because distinguishing red from green is pretty hard for them.

 

[king picollo]

I wish they were doing a beta.

I'm guessing they feel they don't need to because they're using Reach's netcode but it would be nice to get to grips with it.

When was this said? I certainly hope netcode has gotten better for Halo 4, particularly in the co-op side of things.

You are my favourite poster on HaloGaf now.

Also thanks Wu, for the clarification.

That ODST video was terrible Robbert!

 

[Louis Wu]

EDIT: Did Waypoint roll out an update? It's showing my Perfections now.

Yep, seems to have. (All game modes are mixed together, so I've got 68,000 headshots... but all medals are showing up now. Progress!)

Edit: DOH! If you scroll all the way up to the top, the mode filter affects what's shown. My bad!

 

[daedalius]

Maybe he means no flood as we've come to expect.

A gravemind probably wouldn't have much trouble influencing whatever inhabitants have been stuck on the dyson-shell for however many thousands of years.

Minor forum update, too. White link bug is squashed!

 

[Hypertrooper]

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?!?!?!

We have to fight them in Halo 5-6. Seriously it gets tease too much in the Forerunner Books.

Otherwise if the Forerunner are the Ancient Threat, then Cryptum and Primordium gave a whole wrong impression of the Forerunner. Really excited how they change in Halo 4 and the 3rd Forerunner Book.

You mock Gears now, but wait until we see all the premium DLC skins for your battle rifles hit the marketplace on day one.

I'm already saving pennies towards getting that shiny Arbiter texture on my DMR.

I wonder what the conversion rate is between MS points and Spartan points? Will we be able to buy tokens like in Forza 4?

Give me a Gears Of War 3 like Season Pass and I'm in. Do not forget that you can buy my Multiplayer voices for 800msp!

So, Xbox World Magazine UK has no new information on Halo 4. Pretty much a rehash of the info from the Gameinformer, they do confirm ― which we all guessed ― that MS E3 June press conference will be the next time we get major info.

The UK mag does have a nice timeline of all story, from the games to the books.

Did you expect something different?

Um... Bungie.net will continue to provide info about Bungie games. They're no longer showing new Halo info, and that won't change, going forward.

Is it a perma or temp?
