Ok, I hope they do. Aside from Scorpio news it's the only news I'm really interested in even if it's not during the presentation.

Bonnie is going to lay some intel on us.
Be prepared for the Firefight Trailer lol. I REALLY HOPE THEY SHOW A "CG" TEASER of the NEXT HALO MAINLINE.

Just following Fable Anniversary's bizarre timing
(and the Bioshock Collection unless that actually is getting delayed a year.)

Did a marathon halo session last night in preparation for working nights this week. Placed gold 4 in slayer, but went on a 9 game winning streak and got to plat 2 before stopping. Funny because my warzone games were the exact opposite with a 9 game losing streak..
Got the indomitable helmet somehow, which is the only one I wanted out or all the noble team helmets. So that was cool. Unlocked my last mantis cert too but I have some warthogs to go.
And finally, I'm going to bed. Will have to see all the E3 news after I wake up.

I can see where you're coming from. For me though, I like having multiple capture points to spread players out. And no time limit is really nice.
Warzone Assault is all about solo matching. Worst case scenario you get hit by a full team, it'll be over quicker.
I also appreciate that it's not really about controlling points like Warzone, despite that being the ostensible goal of the mode. It's about being better at disrupting reinforcements or attackers, with different maps giving the advantage to either attackers or defenders.

I know I am.
Bring in the hype!
Honestly I don't need megaton surprises or anything. I mostly want to see gameplay of Sea of Theives, Gears 4, and recore. And I want to hear Xbox's roadmap in terms of hardware and such.
And since I know that's gonna be there, I'm already happy
I wonder if they're going to have Firefight on the Assault variants of Warzone.
I'm now home and in the Chat Group. Still adding people and we are now something over 40. Not sure if everyone will watch on Twitch (or at all), but I hope so.

All these leaks and nobody knows what the "other" Halo 5 related thing is that 343 is talking about.

Of course. Everyone can. Just PM or post your Twitch username.

Twitch username is surprisingly Hypertrooper. Excited for an invite!
I don't see why they would unless they have an more classic outlast/survival mode in addition to the time attack stuff they demoed in the beta. Which would be great, don't get me wrong, but seems out of scope of expectations.

I'm going to watch via Youtube. No twitch for me this year. unless the stream starts to hitch up then i might switch.

Watch on YouTube but use the pop out chat to chill with us. Thats what I do.

Twitch only lags for me with the main chat, because theres a bajillion messages coming in every second during big conferences.
So as long as I stay in the gaf chat, it'll be buttery smooth.
Also, YouTube has always been slightly more delayed.

Twitch better quality video compression is the main reason I still choose it over YouTube for these events. YouTube is a lot lighter though
I do think it's out the scope of expectations but why would the addition of classic mode necessitate it? Couldn't it just be time attack on the Assault variants? Or are you saying the increased enemy count in time attack requires larger maps that classic survival doesn't need?

Not sure. I know it's not possible on iOS.

its either smartcast with youtube on my tv or use the xbox for twitch.
so you're saying twitch has the better streaming quality?

I'm saying that the Assault maps are designed for a more linear experience. Not sure what having WZ FF on those maps would add to the experience when WZ FF as played is very much about getting to various points in the map, and the more open-ended regular maps are better for that.
Very true. It's why I was thinking about March on Stormbreak, which is largely a linear map as well, would be especially tough for Firefight
EDIT: Interesting that Minecraft E3 hype is being RTed by Hololens devs on twitter. Didn't expect Hololens at E3 this year.
On another note, there are a couple of sections on Sanghelios that would make for brilliant firefight maps...

How soon?
I expected a Firefight trailer at least... Weird.
Also no Pc beta for Halo Wars 2. Suuuuuper disappointing
Not really. Ten times the population will be on Xbox One. This also lets them stress test the game on Xbox One and make sure it works as planned. Last thing 343 needs is to add additional platform betas to monitor and fix especially PC.

To be honest I was most excited for Halo 5 news but the rest of the conference blew me away for a change. Amazing stuff!
A 2 minute long trailer for the new update would have been awesome though. Easily could have released it later as well.
