Halo |OT10| The Calm Before The Storm

looks like the quick and dirty halo 4 forge map 343 did with gamestop.

Yeah, it's the map, which was build by Kynan Pearson, from 343i and which was shown on Gamespot. Still needs a name, because he said, he hasn't a name either. :p

Have fixed the gametype btw.

oh, it was intentional. must have missed that bit.


unrelated --- with all the talk of spoilers and spoiling douche bags, i wouldnt be too surprised to see someone on GAF do the same to haloGAF... just saying.
 
Wow if someone is going around tweeting the end, I might just have to give up the internet...

God, I hate leaks...

Just saw your message on XBL, my bad lol - I'll be on today if you want to play later :]

Yeah, pretty much. Gotta say I'm pretty excited about that. Did he say whether or not sprint was in that playlist? I'm gonna assume it is since it's a default thing though. But yeah, it really sounds good. Seeing Kevin Franklin's face light up when he got to talk about things he couldn't before was great :]

Hope I manage to go the next 24 days spoiler free. I'm not clicking into anything suspicious, and I can't believe some people gave in to the temptation so easily lol

hahah That was definitely great to see how excited he was to finally talk about these things. Just proves that he's genuinely loving Halo 4 and wants the fans to finally experience this game. That being said, he got me excited too but once he started talking about it I couldn't help but to think "this is what should've happened ages ago.. and hopefully it'll evolve into more than just Slayer as Pro." Same goes for the whole Ordnance discussion lol

It's the cautious Halo fan in me :b
 
So, is there any other MP info out there? I would love to see Vortex, etc, but don't want to risk spoiling anything major.

He also showed the vehicle pallet for the map

Mongoose .
Warthog .
Wraith .
Scorpion .
Ghost .
Banshee .
Mantis .
Shade turret .


Does that mean no Falcons? :(

Thats a huge disappointment. I thought that would be in the game for sure, what the hell. =/

Here's what I caught from the Vortex play:



The Mantis was Forged onto the map.

Also they're sticking with the manta vs shark motif for teams? Lame.

Blah, that map looks kinda boring. At least we now know what map was in that Infinity B-roll for a few seconds.

sigh

i might go dark as well after tonight's panel, i've already seen a screencap i didnt want to see on another site, would hate for more to be ruined.
 
Both spoilers and leaked threads aren't safe for those that wish not to be spoiled. So far this OT is Safe from them.

For the GAFfers discussing spoilers. Adding tags in either thread will help alot. There are several pretty Big spoilers regardless of it being a "Spoiler" or "Leaked" thread.

Saying "GTFO" to those that request tags is unnecessary. But don't expect everything to be tagged while you're in the Spoiler thread.
Just wanted to share abit here about what's been going on in these threads.

Set your twitter to private. @s won't show up on your feed from people you are not following if you do that.

Luckily my apps already do this, because I just don't want my feed private. It does mean avoiding the connections tab for a while. Bleh.

Should assume that if there are folks doing this on twitter they'll do it right - run searches for Halo, Chief, Cortana, etc. and auto-reply, find lists with Halo in the title & reply to everyone in the list, etc. etc.

First day back to Gaf in months,can't believe Halo 4 leaked.
Has 343/MS made a statement regarding this?

Nope, but they can't really do anything about it apart from remove the videos on youtube and try to ban the people streaming it. They can't really stop people talking about it on twitter or any other social site.
 
Launch playlists sound good, looking forward to it.

Slayer Pro sounds nice, but I wish the base speed wasn't changed, just for the sake of uniformity in MM.

Thinking about going dark, but I want to see MP stuff. Hmmm...decisions

Glad I don't tweet. Poor 343, you can tell all the work they put into it, and the passion they have for the franchise. They don't deserve this.

OT: For anyone wondering, subaru all-wheel drive is amazing, and i'm officially a believer. i was on a back road in the texas panhandle chasing storms yesterday, and hit a road full of water going about 70 (oops). Not much you can do when going that fast, and I hydroplaned into a ditch of 1-2 feet of muddy water and tall grass. But, being in the deepest part of the ditch about 10 feet off of the shoulder, full of mud and crap, my impreza was able to work its way out. Now im at the dealership waiting on them to fix a heat shield that was shoved back into the drive train. Could have been worse, lol.

The turbo heat shield pushed itself into the tranny? That doesn't really seem possible. Did you take a look at it or did they diagnose that? If that shield gets bent or tweaked it can definitely rattle but don't let them take you to the cleaners, they're probably just going to bend it back or tighten the brackets.
 
Having a nice long chat with zoojoo about the meaning of life and how he should think about coming back here even though he's reluctant to. Guis, he's gewd. He. Is. Ready.

Will you accept him, HaloGAF?

If you want to avoid spoilers, avoid all replies to 343 staff on Twitter. :-(

You can follow them safely, just don't look at the replies people send them if you click on their tweets.

So Vortex is basically that level that Holmes demoed?

On a side note it would have been nice to have some fog effects on some of the big snowy maps, cause they really do look like snowy wastelands for the worse. Longbow is probably the ugliest map this side of Reach.

I just dont trust him at this time of too many spoilers.

Plus its nice to not have to catch up on 50 pages a day.
 
Yeah. The end, I'm pretty sure.

Edit : I don't know the full context or consequences of the spoiler, but it's a big one, and I wish I didn't know at all.

=(

Vortex is basically that, yeah, mixed with the storm the beach area in Reach.

Agreed, some of the maps desperately need something like this to not looks so lifeless and sterile. I wouldn't say Longbow is ugly though, but with so many maps that are kinda big and drab when it comes to effects Im left a bit sad.

What? If he ever returns, he'd be banned again for making a new account to circumvent a ban. Dude's not coming back.
