Damn I'm seeing th Reach ad a lot on TV. I don't remember seeing the Halo 3 ad this much. Microsoft is really ready to pump up the marketing for this into full gear.

Reflection looks BEAUTIFUL, Zealot looks cool but I don't see how it's Midship, and Spire looks hella fun.
Glad I stayed up until 2:30 :lol

And I hate to be that guy, but I think the new maps, videos, campaign impressions and screens sort of warrant a new thread, ya know? Someone will make it soon anyways. There's HUGE amount of content that just landed.

Gamespot mentioned throwing grenades while riding a Pelican. Yippe!

Yes Ghal, we need a thread, so we can keep track on the various links that will be popping out.

Go for it. xD
I wasn't going to do it, I'm going to bed. :lol

If it's not up when I wake up, I'll fire it up.

The new campaign screens are INSANE.

Yes, I'd love to be able to discuss this stuff without all the spoiler tags...

New thread is definitely justified, but since it will be about both the new SP and MP stuff, it would be nice if you could put up a notice for people to spoiler tag (and not embed pics of) the campaign stuff.


edit- you just posted a campaign pic yourself, I guess campaign spoilers are unavoidable now, I will have to go completely dark and miss out on the non-campaign news and random halogaf shenanigans for a month and a half. :(

edit2- wait, nevermind, I can activate a image blocker, duh

So I guess we will stop posting on this one and move to the next thread?. Cool... :/

EDIT - Wait, the new thread would be full of spoilers without the spoiler tag? Ughh.. :(

Can't wait for the Official Thread.

Damn, I think I might stay out now.

Yea, I'll float around in less spoilerific Halo threads if they arise.

Ugh, curse my weakness to spoiler tags and links. Even though it's kinda minor stuff, it's still pretty bad that I'm already caving in. :lol

The new maps look really awesome in action, Spire reminds me a bit of Relic, and Zealot looks more like a quazi-remake/spiritual successor rolled into one of Midship than a "remake".

Officially released screens in a thread about the campaign. If someone wants to post a thread entitled "Halo Reach Thread of Avoiding News and Talking about old Shit over and over Again" I'll respectfully avoid it.

Here's a shot of invasion on Spire where the Spartans are on the offensive and needing to grab the core:

Zealot looks huge, I'm thinking it could be a BTB map. Edit: Guess it's designed for 4v4, it's quite a bit bigger than midship though.

Wow... ok, dude. I don't know what's wrong with what I said. You could have at least made some sort of spoiler alert or wait a bit until we get the spoiler-free thread ready to go.

We don't have (at least that I know) any other Halo thread right now to talk about other stuff, except for the re-playing Halo thread.

Oh well. Thanks for the MP pics anyway, they look great.

There is nothing about a map called Panoptical. Maybe i'm too stupid to find it.
Thanks, and that's weird, Dani mentioned a map called Panoptical being talked about in that issue. Feel free to share any new non-campaign info you find there.

EazyB does this from time to time. This is his 'fuck you' to the rules. Could he wait for another thread? Nope. Could he use the hyperlink function? Not a chance. Could he he a hypocrit after saying that a multiplayer map shouldn't be in tags but now apparently that applies to campaign and other important info? Believe.

*looks at thread title*

Would you look at that, this was discussing that campaign trailer that was released. It would almost be too obvious to say that this thread wasn't intended for the info you described bro.

I love this screen. This environment and similar screenshots with the elite on this cliff were released with the first campaign preview so yeah.

IGN says the Falcon seats 5 people. That's about as close to a pelican drop as we're going to get. Going to lead to a lot of easy killtaculars and a few awesome assaults.

u mad? Urk said long ago that significant content would be released and there are no rules I'm saying "fuck you" to. It's an awesome screenshot that was not part of some leak but instead officially released media. Ghaleon posted that first person shot from the falcon in campaign so I thought I was definitely good to go.

Alright I'm off to create a spoiler-less thread. EazyB you can be at ease posting as many spoilers as you want around here.

You love Ghaleon don't you? I just call douche moves as I see 'em. Both were rather bad in all fairness. It doesn't take any more effort to use a simple url tag does it?

Alright. I have the thread pretty much ready (it's only a couple lines of text, but oh well). Should I create it? I definitely don't wanna get spoilers all over without any sort of alert, and I believe I'm not alone on this.

Should I go ahead and press Submit New Thread?

Love how that baby Rancor appears as a regular blip on the radar. That will certainly lead to good times.

Oop, enemy got behind me. Probably a stealth Elite. I'll just turn around and -HOLY FUCK-
 
Its 2 am and i thought i was finally gonna go to sleep "early" goddamn these shots are good, this game will be amazing. I hate overhyping myself but this is 10 years ago (CE) all over again... the wonder, the scale, he mystery, the atmosphere... *drools* I know its different from CE but it has some similarities. Its like the CE of this generation.

Why would you make a thread that has the purpose of containing no spoilers? Where's the new information that warrants a new thread? There should be a new thread for the campaign previews and new maps, not for discussing old info.

I don't know.. I'm fine with having spoilers posted, just with spoiler tags or using urls for campaign stuff.

Now we only have this, but what if in a couple weeks some review releases a screenshot of the very last scene in the game and EazyB comes by and posts it, just because he can?.
Plus, we also need a place to keep talking about Halo 3 online games and customs, so what better than having it all in a single place?

Yes, people should use spoiler tags and urls on spoilers. But only if they are spoilers. If you don't want to see campaign screens or read previews then you shouldn't be in the Halo threads on GAF, although all this info should definately be in a new thread anyway. But usually on GAF there are threads that use spoiler tags, and threads that don't. Because at least if you're not sure you can use spoiler tags, which is something that you can't really do in spoiler free threads (and as this thread has shown, not everyone has the same definition of spoilers).

Oh. I guess I should have been more explicit or more properly named the thread I made.

You can still post spoilers on that thread. What you can't do is just go and post screenshots of the campaign (urls are ok) or spoilers without using the spoiler tags.

Apparently we can post and talk about anything we want, post screenshots of huge enemies never seen before and whatnot, without even posting a spoiler alert.

I don't think everybody is happy with that. That's why I made the other thread.
