Ahahaha told you all it was real! Looks like I'll be keeping that left nut after all!!
I still wish it was fake so I hadn't spoiled myself.

damn my curiosity for making me watch that vid.
I'm not even going to try to go black at this point.

I love me some Bungie, but I've never once played a Halo game where it's in-game maps were all instant classics.NeXuSDK said:
I'm sooooooo glad I didn't click on any spoiler tags.

We need to get some voice clips of the female Noble 6 so this thread can devolve into the Halo equivalent of the Mass Effect FemShep vs. MaleShep debates.
:lol Can't say I blame you.

And while I loved the beta and liked its (non-Invasion) maps, none of them were instant classics.squidhands said:

Thinking about Halo 2's multiplayer maps makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over.
While I am in the camp that really likes EazyB, both for his humour and his gameplay preferences aligning with my own, that post he made really was out of order and I'm not surprised he is now gone. Sad to see you go Eazy.
Leaks in general suck. If there ever was a time to do a Riddick (go dark) this would be it.
Now regarding the leaked multiplayer maps:
Oh and thanks to Ze for linking to that Firefox plugin a couple pages back.

Now regarding the leaked multiplayer maps:
I think Boardwalk must be the map that Luke referred to as "the best in the game". Knowing Luke's playstyle preference for precision weapon slayer style matches, Boardwalk fits into that perfectly with a narrow playspace designed with the two teams at either end, similar to Narrows from what I can gather.
Countdown on the other hand is a tricky one to analyse although it looks, for me, to be quite a complicated and awkward map to play in. The many levels and ledges, combined with the dark lighting make it quite a hard map to navigate, from a mental perspective of course as I have never played it.

Wait a second... Only 2 Invasion-Map? Hope the first map pack will have 2 new Invasion Maps.(I'll play the shit out of this game mode)
Other question: Is it worth to buy the Halo Encyclopedia?

Well I'm glad you guys respect the spoilers. I've been able to read this thread without revealing anything to myself. Of course then I can't get in on the conversation.
I'm hoping for another firefight or MP match tonight in the BWU. I'm assuming the last 2 MP maps (Countdown and Boardwalk) are being left for PAX.

So is Zealot (and Asylum, I guess) the only symmetrical small map in the game?

I wonder if Paradiso was set up to be an Invasion map. It's set on the island which is pretty big.Hypertrooper said:
As to the encyclopedia, I think so. I was disappointed by the lack of artwork, but the information in it is well done and nicely organized. (And now, out of date, but that's the nature of the beast.)

Trusting the modders to have a final list, that's a weak MP map selection.

I leave to Cologne for a few days and everything goes to pieces.
Shocked when I heard from Darkflight, both about what Eazy posted and the fact that it´s a perm.
Not that it wasn't a deserving post, bloody stupid, mean and unfair, just that Eazy is one of the main posters I think of when I think of HaloGAF.

Cologne has been great, had a lovely chat with Luke yesterday, actual impressions when I return to the motherland tomorrow.

Tyson confirmed it in a Q&A on Bungie.net iirc. You can find it easily transcribed on hbo.broony said:

My first Forge map is going to have to be something along the lines of Citadel or Onslaught.

Agreed. Overlook was my favorite of the ones we got to play, and I only enjoyed Invasion when I got to play as an Elite. Powerhouse was decent, but I hope I don't see it in MM that often. Sword Base...Shake Appeal said:
I really hope that the remakes aren't the best maps Reach has to offer (because Reflection looks incredible).

I would think the whole concept of invasion is too complex for forge, I hope I'm wrong though.

I'm hoping for more than two. That's going to be my favorite game mode I'm sure. Guess we will see.

Letters said:The whole thing looks odd, but the motion detection wave is what caught my eye mostly. Looks all fucked up.
This is how it's supposed to look:
This is how it looks in that:
Fake.
What is so odd about it? Looks right to me.
I think it looks real, and it's not like this is something that could have been easily reproduced. We've seen nothing like that geometry/color palette before in Reach

We really need to know more, though. Is it just a series of hills you have to capture, or can you customize the Loadouts for each stage and have parts of the map unlock in sequence, with different vehicles appearing? And if so, how is it all handled?GhaleonEB said:

Already been confirmed on the last page. Two back, if you are 50 ppp.
I'm assuming the options will be the same variables Bungie can toggle, just exposed to player input; that's the approach they took with Firefight and the AI, player trait, wave properties and load outs.Shake Appeal said:
Being able to edit the object and area that needs to be captured, place the barriers that block off the map for each stage (and link they to the spaces to capture, teleporter-style), and adjust load outs in addition to the normal options. (We can place barriers in Forge World, so I assume these would be similar, just linked to the phases.)
Hopefully we can just set up a set number of load outs (five for each team) and then assign them to phases.
Whether the game types or objectives that comprise each round I'm not sure about.
Yeah I'm expecting b.net content to start to explode a couple weeks before launch. The Guide will launch which will hopefully go into this kind of stuff.MrBig said:

GhaleonEB said:...not around for the Halo 2 and Halo 3 leaks, I see.
(Or sarcasm sailed right over my head. As usual.)
Nah, no sarcasm. I don't remember that far back or maybe I didn't experience it. But GAF kept me warm and safe during the Mass Effect 2 leak. Was it that bad during those leaks?

Mods did a pretty good job enforcing spoiler tags, though there were a few kamakazi posters out to ruin it. Though, I managed to stay unspoiled for Halo 3. So it's actually reasonably safe.Lakitu said:
The really funny part of the Halo 3 leak was when someone(s) started sending Live messages to all the regular posters in the Halo GAF threads with spoilers. And later, when people were blocking messages, changed their gamertag itself to be a spoiler and send friend invites, which can't be blocked. Dude was persistent.
Spoilers turned out to be wrong, too. They hadn't watched past the credits. :lol

Knowing the story doesn't make the game any less fun to play.Roche178 said:
for some reason, i missed the halo 3 leaking stuff. must have been a busy time in my life, as i was really looking forward to it releasing and i'm not sure why i wouldnt have been at least lurking at gaf.
but the halo 2 leak, that was amazing. i had a friend who got the french version call me one afternoon and i totally didnt believe him, but cruised over and lo and behold, it was true. i watched him play through the whole fucking game that day, i just couldnt pull myself away from spoiling it! :lol at least the VA was terrific, even in french!
concerning this youtube video with the final maps... i wish i hadnt seen it and confirmed
seems like a pretty huge "twist" in the campaigns story, not that it wasnt unexpected though. looks incredible though, and should play quite differently then anything else. boardwalk looks interesting, but we saw that in the gamestop video. countdown should have been obvious what it was, lol. like someone else mentioned, i dont have any sense of the layout or how it will play based on the flyby.
in all, i think i'll have to be very careful clicking links now and even browsing this thread.

Me neither. I want it to be as fresh as possible for my first playthrough. I managed to miss any spoilers for H3, but then again I wasn't really part of any message boards.Roche178 said:
It does for me, especially in this case. Yeah, any Halo fan will know how Reach ends, but spoiling particulars of gameplay and it's storyline in the campaign is what I'm trying to avoid.AwesomeSyrup said:
