They aren't McFarland figures.

Check the OP. SquareEnix figures.

Sorry, you misunderstood me. I know they're SE figures. I'm saying I'd rather buy these if they're bigger than the McFarland figures. :D

EDIT:

Theyre like ~9 inches tall, and cost about $35-40, going by past Play Arts Kai figures

Wait, didn't the Halo Waypoint announcement say it was a sequel? If it's not a sequel, I'm glad to hear it. However, I want a sequel to GoO the most.

It's a sequel, in the sense that the new book(s) take place in the Halo universe AFTER the last story, chronologically (GoO). All books written since GoO have been prequels.

This is the only good thing about my day today. My AC went out and I have to wait till tomorrow for a fix. I'm sitting here waiting to cook to death. It's supposed to be 96 degrees with a heat index of 110.

Bungie should put up a count-down timer today. It's always been a success in the past. :D

Countdown to cockblock!

Right near St. Louis on the Illinois side.

We get all of the gulf humidity with none of the ocean breeze! :lol

Could someone from Bungie say when all the new media will be out on b.net?

I'll watch the stream at 3 am, but it might be full and not give me access (it's happened way too many times with Bungie reveals =\)

Unfortunately Halo in Portugal isn't big at all. Or as big as I'd like it to be.

Everyone here plays either Fifa or PES and that's about it.

The monitor being a physical player character does nothing to help the user build maps.

This is true, and I get what you're saying about wanting Forge to focus on map creation because that's what you are interested in. But Forge is about more than just making stuff, and having a physical monitor adds to the gameplay of Forge, if not the utility of the editing tools. (Though, since Forge is also a collaborative mode, having each player manifest physically when editing is nice.) That's not the part of the game mode you are interested in, of course.

I have a feeling they will do something to the Honor rules aspect of the 'Forge game'. If they enable to ability to make a game with forge that makes players obey a set of rules, forge could turn into an amazing resource game.

Just a thought, but the hint of a Monitor/forge being a multiplayer mode makes me believe the chances for "customs matchmaking" may indeed finally be good.

Don't know if anyone mentioned that yet, but it sure has me stoked.

We may finally have matchmaking for damn near everything!

I doubt it - I don't see them risking taking people of the general matchmaking pool for customs.

I'd love to be wrong though, because it'd be a great feature.

Why not? They are already doing semi splitting the pool with Firefight. More options isn't a bad thing.


I wonder if there will be coop campaign matchmaking too since they did it with firefight.

Hmm....

I will never understand why every one of these you have done has said 'a bungie' instead of 'at bungie'.

Or maybe I'm just missing something.

Edit: Oh, an IGN meme. Got it.

Well, that's certainly a discreet way to describe it. It's weird working on the "East Side" in Seattle. Every time someone says it, I don't get a mental picture of Lake Washington lapping the shores of a gentrified downtown Kirkland.

Prediction time: Valhalla is beyond the canyon.

Also, in the Valhalla portion of the map each of the bases has been given a basement underneath the one we're familiar with from Halo 3. The ocean side base contains a perfect recreation of Hang 'em High, and the river side features a revamped Prisoner.

K, time for some Real Talk predictions:

Bungie will reveal the canyon map and it will be the largest multiplayer map to-date. Forge+ is going to be revealed, and it will kick ass. Urk will make dick jokes. The panels (both of them) will be awesome. Somebody will complain about the no-BR or no-Dual Wielding if there is a Q&A. We won't get a podcast until late august at the earliest.

Did I miss anything?

Edit: Just to make sure no one misunderstood, I was being serious with that Valhalla prediction.

Since we're making ridiculous predictions..

The game is actually semi-open world. All the multiplayer maps are stitched together, so beyond the canyon is every single map.
