It's incredibly cartoony, but also incredibly Halo. I like what I saw, honestly. Banshee primary fire made me lolwut, though, since they changed every other sound in the game.

A lot of that looks great. Some odd choices here and there though. Why do the Forerunner textures look like something out of a cartoon or comic book? The c40 bridges don't look right.

Midnight release for this is going to be a bitch with the other games coming out. Maybe we'll get to see a Halo fan, or maybe even just a passer by, kick the living shit out of a CoD whore.

I just can't stand that AR firing sound. It sounds like a hollow bucket being knocked at the firerate of the AR.

Its so much better than the old one, it actually sounds like something that can do damage.

Wat.

Old one sounded like it was born in hell. That thing spewed fire and brimstone.

It sounded like a goat farting

I looked for a video of a goat farting to autoplay on this page, but couldn't find a sufficient one :smith:

It only sounds good surround sound. Otherwise, it's crappy IMO. I like the new one. It actually sounds like a gun.

Scratch that. In a few previews it's not spinning, in a few it is. Why are they using the h3 elite flood models.

I'll still buying it anyways.

---

They're not. Those are different ones. If not, they are textured differently regardless. There are only so many ways you can make the same Flood model at this point.

and even then so what if they used h3's model, that's hardly something to get pooper peeved over :}

GameTrailers is giving Halo its due with their awesome retrospective series. Here's part 1. Ah, the music. Ah, the memories. They acknowledge Custom Edition's existence and note how "Combat Evolved" was slapped on by the Nervous Nelly's in MS's marketing department. Unfortunately, they gloss over H2 Vista and don't properly paint the picture of that disaster. It's all right. The retrospectives are supposed to be positive in tone.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/in...pective/723214

Halo was originally "Project Monkey Nuts".

Makes me feel better about naming all my projects "Project Chimp Titties".

Yeah, you pretty much summed up all of it. As you said about H2V, I too am a little disappointed they didn't call the game a complete failure.

Wrong. They aren't textured any different then before. I would suggest better glasses for you.

A question is a question, I'm not irritated just curious as to why they made a new human flood model if they didn't bother to put effort into the elite flood model.

I see the resemblances (due), but it looks too skinny to be the Halo 3 Elite Flood model IMO.

I hope one or a few of the skulls act as the cheat_* globals. So cheat_bottomless_clip, cheat_super_jump, etc.

If not, it would be cool if the Kinect could be used to toggle them :-3. "Cheat bottomless clip!" :downsdance:

I see what they did there...

Only one?

Awwwwwww :/

Guess it's better than none. Good thing we have Custom Edition

Hey they brought Fog back. Never knew why they changed it to Cloud, Fog seems more ominous and cool anyway.

Is there a skull that enables modern day features like boarding, automeleeleap, or FLOOD INFECTION?

Keep in mind that the simulation layer is Halo 1, where none of that existed.

Pfffft, n00bs. They should have added the Halo 2 engine as a third engine. Three engines are better than two. Then they could have re-created Halo 2 as well. Nubs.

The skulls seem cool... except the Covie Martydom or whatever it is.
That one will be so annoying :saddowns:

Stop. What point would there be to recreate the h3 elite model if one exists already.

094, stop being a cunt, he is right, it isn't the same model, and if you don't believe him, then believe this screenshot.

http://images.wikia.com/halo/images/..._victortky.jpg

Are you that fucking retarded. Stop spouting your ignorance, go back, and watch the previews. Look at the armor you fuck.

I already proved you wrong 4 months ago Bobblehob about the Assault Rifle, do you want a second beating?

No, look at those two screenshots you fucknut, its not the same model, just look at it, Ill put them both up for you again if I have to.

Edit: By the way, it makes sense that they did have to make some newer flood models, based on the fact that the elites and the marines in the game are Reach models, they would have to change the models of the armor bits on the flood elites and the flood marines.

Put them up then, and then see that their either the same fucking model with different textures, animations (changing proportions), and shaders, and no colour change.
Or a new one designed to look the fucking same.

:dramabomb:

Uggh, do I really have to? Cant you just go back to the last couple pages and pull up the links? Fine: http://images.wikia.com/halo/images/..._victortky.jpg

http://spartan094.codebrainshideout.net/flood.png


Look at the shoulder with the armor piece on it, definitely not the same, look at the flood infected arm, not the same either.

I apologize for the large images and such, but apparently a couple people are too lazy to click the links.

Who still says fucknut?

Also, the HA10 flood elite looks difference than the Halo 3 one, but I'm also sure it's the same model. Why waste time to recreate the same thing when you can re-purpose the existing one? Still, why fight over something so fucking trivial? Do either of you actually give a fuck whether it's the same or not?

Can't wait to do LASO on this game.

I hope you do realize that goat farting was an exageration. The debate over the model was started when 094 decided to be a dick to me and Darkhalo003, when it is obvious that he is wrong. When he won't accept it, I had to prove it. Simple as that.

Looks the same to me. The shoulder armor looks slightly wider, but that could be due to a lot of things. The flood arm is just turned a different way in each shot. And, of course, one is blue and the other is white. Texture looks like it matches, too. If you see differences, it's probably due to details being washed out by the light source in the old H3 engine.

If they did anything at all, they rescaled portions of the H3 model (shoulder width) to match the H1 Flood's proportions. But that's all just academic. It's not like it really matters.

Ha you proved nothing but to be an ignorant stubborn asshole. Your the one that started attacking me you fuck, darkhalo has been a friend to me for a VERY long time and you think I was being a "dick" your stupid. YOU just fueled the argument even more because your a halomaps tard

And you proved nothing, again you are stupid, incoherent, and a halomaps tard.

http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm?...38274&start=71
Remember the last time you said I was wrong and how I was trying to sound "intelligent", go about half way down to see.

Besides nothing strikes you about the armor at all on the elite flood. The reason why the flood elite's left arm is different is because it's twisting, something I knew you would never catch on, the elite's right shoulder armor is the HALO 3 MINOR should, WHAT reach elite HAS this shoulder, no reach elite has a shoulder THAT triangular and small.

You are so fucking stupid and it's not even funny. THE MODEL is the same, watch the previews and get off your high horse.

This thread is full of:
http://troll.me/images/butthurt-guy/...so-mad-tho.jpg

Jesus Fuck. I'm even fearing for the heath of this thread.

94, you are pathetic, it is obviously not the same model, especially considering that it has to have Reach armor pieces, you went back and edited your original post where you called darkhalo and ignorant ass, and now are trying to tell me that I started the argument. It is obvious from those screenshots that the models are similar but not the same. I admitted to being wrong when the issue of the AR came up. Where as you won't admit anything right now, even though the evidence is right in front of your face.

If you really feel the need to continue this, then PM me. As far as the thread goes, there is a new video on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW_GT2OP3X0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woySeSNBL3o

I hate to say it. They look very similar. Hope someone rips both of them and shows the models.

is it fucking possible for two people to discuss something without flinging shit back and forth at each other? jesus.
:dramabomb:
btw thanks tyrant. i couldnt find this emote on the emote page. i wasnt sure if it was still there

Looks the same to me. Also I will agree that LASO will be fun on this game.

I can't wait for this thread to be cut in half when mods start deleting posts.

im thinking this might be the first halo game i wont buy (H2V doesnt count :maddowns:). after recently making the shift to pc gaming, i dont even want to look at my xbox anymore. the only game im going to get for it from this point on is the new assassins creed, and thats just to keep my collection in one place. maybe gears 3, MAYBE. i just cant justify spending 40 bucks on this game when i dont even have xbl anymore...

idk what happened. i was really excited when i first heard about this, but now im approaching near apathy for it. i might borrow it from a friend when im on break, but thats it.

Your "evidence" is inconclusive. It is not obvious that they are different models. We need Snaf in here. Thanks for posting the vid, though.

The skull that turns off auto aim should be fun, and it'll really make the game a bitch with the Recession skull. If I do LASO, I'm definitely gonna turn off the Bandana skull, takes all the fun away if you can just spam a Rocket Launcher.

Hopefully they finished adding support for the FRG and energy sword to the game, just to give it some more flavor. Flame thrower would be useful too (but it doesn't appear naturally)

for the people whoring about the flood model.

yes im pretty sure it's the same model, scaled a bit to match the H1 skeleton.
keep in mind stuff deforms when animated and such.

there you go. argument solved.

343i RIPZZZZZZ!!!!

LASO is dead with the inclusion of beneficial skulls. The hardest mode is now LACSOABSO (Legendary, All Challenge Skulls On, All Beneficial Skulls Off). Doesn't quite have the same ring.

Anyway, fuck Black Eye. That is the most fun-suckingest bullshit ever and why I never bothered with a LASO challenge in Reach.

i'm so excited to play this campaign again.

I just read back a few pages. People got pissed over my challenging whether a model is reused or not? I post wasn't even incendiary in the slightest. What the hell?

I think it's different simply because the shoulder is different. You're right though, the bones definitely can change up a model. I don't know why 343i would remake the damn thing to begin with considering it and the other Flood models would have been a colossal waste of time/resources, but it would be nice to think they did so just because it's a different game (though they did not redo the Grunts or Armored Marines all that much TBI).

@People trying LASO: I couldn't get this done in any of the last games. I've beaten all of the last games on Legendary except for the first Halo. What does this mean? I probably won't even try LASO this go around. My head might explode.

@Korn: I'm hoping they can do this via skull. Like you mentioned earlier, though this IS the Halo 1 Engine, they have made other modifications (evident via Skulls) to the engine to allow more stuff to happen. They have the SOURCE for the game, so I can imagine it'd be possible. Plus, I'd rather them unlock H2V and re-release that BS to work completely with Windows 7. Just saying.

That would be so amazing, I'd probably squeal like a little girl if they did put it in there.

Children will be children I guess, Ah well, you wont be missed 094. I do remember finding the flamethrower model and effects in the PC version Library map, and trying to add it in at one point, but I couldn't manage to get it working :P

Haha, I wouldn't call it cockblocked xD I guess its hard for someone to deal with being wrong.

Don't expect much respect around here or anywhere else with that kind of attitude ;c

I'm fine with the other people here, but when people blatantly ignore what I have said, and facts I have presented, then I find it hard to have any other attitude towards them :P

Released today:



Only 14 more days-ish

You know that Halo music still gets to me almost as much as it did way back in the day; kind of weird hearing the somewhat sparse MIDI stuff transcribed to a live orchestra, but damn if I wasn't already getting chills.

Oh the game looks kind of cool too

You presented articles of evidence to back up your statement. I think that checks out. Evidence is not fact, though. I gotta admit, Spartan094 did his own fair share of shoving with his words, but that was due to your attitude that was already witnessed in this very thread...and apparently over at HM? Don't wanna go there, though. Most people here agree with Spartan094 that the model is the H3 one, including myself. Now, wait, don't think I'm taking his side because I know him. Somebody presented a plausible technical explanation for why the armour looks different, but isn't. Well let's use logic now. 343i already took the 3rd person AR from Halo 3 and put it into first person. Since we have established that, is it not reasonable to believe they would re-use more assets from other games? Think about it: they have limited resources to build this game, time being the major one. Why not just re-use the H3 Elite flood model? The armour structure is relatively consistent with what was in H1, so it's clearly the best choice. Just modify some textures and bam you've got something that looks good in half the time. We've seen that same exact sort of thinking with the AR. Re-use model, modify skin. Check that off the list. See where I'm going with this? Sometimes you can't prove everything with pictures, mainly because there just aren't enough of them to prove anything really. What appears to be happening here is that Spartan094 came down on you in a condescending tone. We all hate it and it makes us want to disagree all the more, even if we're wrong. It happens to me all the time. You refuse to be wrong a second time. We're human, we just have to accept it.

Can't fucking wait, but if the Covie vehicles don't have destroyed permutations I will bitch my lungs out....

I think everyone will if they don't.

Pause the video korn posted at 1:10, the ghost didn't look destroyed but looks darker, urgh.

I noticed that, but I was hoping for it to be an older build (I'm sure I've seen that clip in the rather old ones :downs:).

Maybe they wanted to allow the player to take over the vehicles still?

If it means we can drive Wraiths...I think I can handle the the game not having destroyed permutations. As long as there's still the satisfying explosion.

Gameplay of the hang 'em high remake:

I find it disturbing that I am not interested in the game when I look at the game play video. heh.

Not interested in multiplayer at least.

I'm quite interested in both single player and multiplayer, including Firefight. Gonna be sick!

Halo Retrospective Part 2

Covering Halo 3->Halo Wars->ODST->Reach. Part 3 will cover multiplayer. Part 4 will probably be about the fandom and community.

Love the retrospective series. It adds great and proper homage to the series. It also helps me realize just how much I love this series and how much I will miss Bungie in the process as being its primary developer.

Something feels off about the pistol in that multiplayer video. I think it's that the max fire rate is too high.

Though the pistol they're using in the Beta Hopper isn't the pistol that's going to be in the classic playlist. But yeah, the pistol in Zero Bloom is sort of slightly powerful...

Really? I thought it was. Glad it isn't, gimmicks are only fun for so long.

Well the Beta Hopper pistol is just the one from Reach with no bloom, right? The shield bleedthrough makes it a tad more powerful too.

From what I can tell, the one in the Classic playlist will be as close to the Halo 1 pistol as possible and will still have bloom (the gameplay videos show it that way anyway). That means it's a three shot kill, but you can't go spamming it like you do in the Zero Bloom playlist. Oh, and I think they've also made it automatic and shoot slower like in Halo 1, but I'm not 100% sure of that.

You guys are filling me with so much halo ce nostalgia. I wanna play this game! Oh wait, i'll just go play the original that doesn't have bullshit attached to it.

Well, you can have fun playing the original again for the millionth time, And I will enjoy playing something fresh and new feeling.

Why does anybody believe that the Pistol in H1 was automatic in any practical way, or that spamming weapons is a bad thing :\

If the non headshot weapons are too weak to keep up... make them more powerful, don't nerf the one weapon that's even slightly decent.


...but of course, that would make the game take skill to play, which would shatter the illusions of all the bad people. Which would affect DLC sales etc.

spamming's cool now??

oh sweet back to my dmr

The DMR isn't spam. The DMR is like chinese water drip torture.

This is spam



And incidentally, infinitely more fun to use.

That gun was the definition of fun. The Doom 3 Plasma Rifle was like that only prettier. :P


...only it had a limited clip. ._.;

so the pistol isn't spam, but the DMR is, when they have similar firing rates and the only significant difference is the ammount of shots it takes to kill?

hmm.. interesting logic.

from the sounds of things my assumption would leave me to believe that people are going to be nutting bricks over the halo 1 pistol being back in reach and won't get pissed at the game at all since everyone starts out with the best weapon ever made in an FPS ever.

The DMR is spam because it can hit you anywhere on the map at any time. If you proceed to walk out into the field of Hemorrhage to try and do ANYTHING, it is 80% likely SOMEONE is going to start shooting you with a DMR. Now that is common sense and there is no issue with that.

Except you just walked out behind your base and the person shooting you is standing against the wall on red base.

Pistol had limited range, the DMR doesn't. I've hit Pooky on The Rock on Forge World when I was on the other side of The Island with a DMR.
