A black magic, some Mics and openbroadcast software is "an insane amount of work"?

Kid speaks the truth.
I don't know if you noticed just how poor the stream was. The only time it was decent quality was when Bravo or Quinn were talking. Otherwise, you couldn't tell what was happening, where shots were landing, who died, etc.
On a related note, we're they receptive to utilizing streaking for the future? What I mean is, having twitch functionality in game like Black Ops II? Or perhaps in game spectating for Halo 5?
It wasn't.
Literally hundreds of other streams broadcasting fine in full high definition that date and time.
I mean, they just didn't prepare enough or didn't have the right people to know what they were doing.
They'll be better prepared next time, I'm sure.
Regular people who have no connections with companies can run very good quality streams. So what's the excuse for one of Microsoft's "top" companies?

Random 343 Employee: "Hey, you know that stream you've been planning for months now? The one where you show off the new weapon tuning? The one we spent thousands flying in people to play? That stream?"
Frankie: "Yeah, what about it?"
Random 343 Employee: "We thought the stream could possibly be a torrent, so we throttled your speed."

Is the update going to be in gametypes like reach or is it going to a title update?
The TU before the red X one added in the ease of changing weapon stats, so probably gametype since the new changes will be per playlist/gametypes.

Anyone setting up an IRC for the NextBox reveal?
I think Dani has one on his website still.
forwarduntodawn.com/chat i think? Someone posted it recently on twitter.
So part of the Halo Council's forum downtime was to launch this custom game browser.
Please, give it a try and leave some feedback in our forums here.
- We'll be adding some code to the sidebar so the most recently created lobbies will show up on the main forum page.
- The time that shows will be each user's current timezone.
- You may set lobbies for a future time or click "now" if you are starting it immediately.
- You can comment on lobbies to leave any map or testing feedback or to ask for an invite.

Gametypes.
If people want to use it in customs they have to download it from matchmaking.

Yeah, that's the right url.
I'm actually getting pretty stoked for the reveal, but yet I probably won't be getting the NextBox for another year. The Red Ring bonanza kinda ruined day one console purchases for me.

Maybe 90 mins is long to you tash but I regularly have 3-4 hour streams. N when you fly out a bunch of people including halo pros you should probably just let em game their hearts out.
Also, hopefully you played a ton more behind scenes because if you only played for that stream, that wasnt enough games at all to give any sort of feedback on the new TU settings.

Lol did anyone here even watch Forward Unto Dawn? I was hyped as hell for the game, but I know I didn't watch any of it, aside from the Teaser.
Yeah it was pretty solid. A good bit of us watched it, actually.

Forward Unto Dawn probably helped get people excited and sold a good few copies. But I'm guessing that's not what you mean Kyle.
Most of us did.

Yes and I think it was a great investment in the Halo franchise for Microsoft to make.
I watched it. It was pretty damn good actually.

Well... guess I'm alone in this. I'll marathon Forward Unto Dawn today and I'll tell you guys what I think.
It just seemed like a big waste to me to be honest. Didn't seem very good from the trailer and I assumed when they said "It'll tie up with the story of Halo 4" it meant "It'll be a very tiny part of the game that explains a really tiny section/character"
It's on Netflix... And about the bolded... It's kinda true lol.
Nothing from FUD is noted except one little line from Lasky at the end of the game.

It's been used for lots of media events before and folks are free to use it again for the Xbox reveal, especially since there's always a slight chance of a new Halo reveal.

I watched it, it was entirely mediocre and I wouldn't watch it again.
Good use of 10 million dollars tho!

How much was made back after selling FUD movies & Digital version from the Halo 4 LE?
I thought it was pretty good. Of course its mainly bcuz of Hamish Bemish's presence that MADE the whole thing haha

FuD was pretty cool. I remember a lot of us watched the episodes pre-release and were excited about it. I guess in hindsight it got pretty bad as soon as they put MC in there... But the first half was great.
And hell. It got a lot of people excited about a mediocre game, so it was pretty successful. I would like to see something similar in the future (like that live action thing where they try to find where MC is landing after Halo 2. That thing was badass in all sense of the word)

Oh he changed his avatar.
A personal favourite is when you join a CTF game and the enemy team have capped 4 flags and are spawn killing your team.
Good times.
