Cortana thread is awesome.
Just looked at new screenshots Major Nelson put up for the new maps which I assume are the official ones 343 has as well. All they showed were various close ups of Spartans. I have no idea what the maps look like based off them. I see the PR train is working well still.
I'll check out the video in a while. Hope it shows more.
Infinity Rumble? The description just sounds like FFA. How is it different? Why is it locked to Majestic owners?

When you drop the ball, is your time reverted back to 0 since you last picked up the ball? When you step out of the hill your time isn't reverted back to what it was before you entered the hill, is it? And yes. There are some bad hill placements in the game. That's why we should get rid of those hill placements. I don't know what Lookout is, but I'm assuming you mean Lockout.
Go through my posts again. Tell me where I mention that I want a "cute kd" for objective players. Then tell me where I want the ability for the objective player to at least be able to defend themselves without losing all progress on the objective.
Here are my points from one of my previous posts on the matter, reorganized for a bit of clarity:
-Extraction would be leagues better if it had sticky arming, but it doesn't.
-It would be better if it had a visible zone, but it doesn't.
-It would be so much better if the player didn't have to hold a button for an eternity(one reason why Dominion is bad).
-It would be better if the player could move their model while extracting.
-It would be better if the plant points were in better positions.
The first 4 are of the gametype itself. The last one is about the maps it's placed on. If it doesn't work very well on any map, it probably shouldn't be in matchmaking(I say shouldn't because I know that they are going to put it in regardless).
You enjoy getting killed by being shot once in the foot?

It's setting up the big Pirates of the Caribbean clusterf*** of backstabbing and side teaming.
Because you know the UNSC is going to send Chief after the other Forerunner artifacts that Jul and Halsey will also be going after, and Jul is Arbiter's big opponent so Arbiter will want in on that, but John needs Halsey to "help" Cortana if she's even still "alive," and Halsey is going to want to turn Chief to her side to "save Cortana," and Arbiter's going to want Chief to kill Jul and Jul is going to want Halsey to kill Arbiter and so on and so forth. Then Jack Sparrow and Will will have to stop Palmer from killing Lasky while Lasky, Barbosa and the Arbiter defend Sanghelios from the Didact, Davy Jones and an army of fishmen Forerunner.
Its going to be awesome.

Even that doesn't matter. Spartan Ops netcode is utterly horrific; I've never had one solid connection in all the games I've played, which is the polar opposite experience of what Reach's Fierfight offered for me. Such a shame.

Completely forgot I clicked the multi-quote buttons earlier, was going to try and explain how to multi-quote & what it does to someone. I'll just edit those out.
While it does suck Infinity Rumble is going it, they tweaked the Doubles PODs pretty well, even if there still are weapons in there :/

FFA is tied to the maps??
It's a trap!

It's not all that frustrating, and the weapon is fun to use.
They named a map after me? Nice to see some recognition after all these years
How very... French of you!
Diogo pls
I can recognize a French when I see one. I am, and you are.
It's a 1HK power weapon that is more powerful than the SR at long ranges by less effective close up. I like all the new Promthean weapons, I just think they should have their ammo cut to compensate for their generally greater power. (3 shots max for incineration cannon, for instance.)
I've played a couple good games of Extraction, and I find the basic mechanics fine, although I do wish you could move around a little as long as you were holding down the button. The clear turnaround time before it converts the point makes for some interesting pushes. I really didn't get it on the Crimson maps but on Relay it works pretty well.
I got Unicorn armor named after me. Get on my level Frenchy.

Gears of War Judgement should have been a downloadable expansion for Gears 3.
Same way ODST should have been for Halo 3.
Charging full price is typical Microsoft.

What do you mean? HaloGAFers who're also DestinyGAF or Destiny OT? Which won't be up until 7 days (or was it 10?) before the game's launch.
Agreed.

GoWJ had promethean vision, except its a grenade. Must be Microsoft policy to see through walls.
ODST was in Germany at launch at most places for 39,99 while normal retail is 69,99
For 69,99 you got the ODST special edition with controller .. I think the pricing was fair.
$60 for the campaign, firefight and all the Halo 3 maps was worth it for me. Microsoft and Bungie shafted themselves by calling it a cheaper expansion early on though. Once you have that inpression, $60 was going to seem like too much. It's a shame, because I would have loved to have a mythic disk for Anniversary too, but I'm pretty sure the single disc $40 price was a response to ODST.

Soooo thank you 343 for the "Making of" video with the Majestic Map Pack. Please do this with future map packs as it's much better than an awkward 10 minute run through with IGN. I enjoyed watching it.
I'm glad the maps are actually small. Hallelujah. I'm disappointed that they're basically just brown/grey/white, but at least they're small. I just hope they play well.

The main reason why I hated how ODST was full price was not paying it, but it was how people judged it because of that full price label. In almost every review, they didn't judge it as an expansion, but as a full game instead. If ODST was downloadable, it would be considered the best DLC this gen (or at least in top 5), but no one looks at it like that.
Judging by the 'Making Of', 343 made them.
Well that answers that.

We know very little. Expect more info this Wednesday (hopefully) and at the latest, next Wednesday. It still wouldn't surprise me if this TU is delayed as well.

i'm kinda new, clocked around 8 hours of multiplayer so far, only done 4v4 and 8v8. i dig it.
positive K/D ratio so far, SL 20 i think. lack of team work doesn't bother me, but still, how can people not understand the concepts of "taking higher ground" or "circling".

"Human story"

I actually think the above phrase perfectly sums up what's been going wrong with this series.

She'll have a robot arm by the time we see her in Halo 5, and probably some kind of Forerunner enhancements, possibly even armor and an ancilla.
I'd cry. And then I'd finally give up on the franchise.
343i has created an enormous back story with the Forerunner, humans and Precursors/Flood. Halo 5 and 6 should be about the Precursors judging whether or not the humans are worthy of carrying the mantle and then acting out on that decision - in which we know that the Precursors would attempt to wipe out humanity if they weren't worthy.
It gives a big overarching story that's about survival and the fate of the galaxy. It's what I hoped Halo 4 would be about... Or at least alluded to.
I would like to see what kind of arm Halsey cooked up for herself. Certainly something a bit more elaborate than Kat's prolly.
Her arm is going to be made of hard light.

That makes it sound like they didnt do much still. Does that mean they did the artwork?
Did you watch the video or the read the article? Pretty much explains it all.
