By far the most interesting environment I've seen is that volcanic area in the Spartan Ops trailer.
Ok so he didn't exactly called it, but it was in the ballpark. I just pre-ordered a few minutes ago so now all there is to do is wait.
Oh god. Renaming the thread had me in tears. :lmao:
I was thinking the same thing, but why is it then that ODST drop pods didn't get completely fucked when Regret's ship went into slipspace above New Mombasa? New Mombasa definitely got fucked up, but as we can see, it wasn't incinerated to oblivion as we saw in ODST despite its proximity to the Covenant ship. Then again, as Jcap pointed out, the Halo games don't follow their own lore. A perfect example of this is the ODST version of New Mombasa looks significantly different than the Halo 2 version. Pieces of the Halo 2 version that were untouched by the slipspace rupture were completely gone in the ODST version which makes it seem as though the Scarab boarding encounter never occurred.Quote:

I dunno, I thought there were only a few gems in this one and most of them were only gems at a certain point in the piece. Davidge ain't no Bear McCreary...
I mean he doesn't replace Marty, but he did some damn good work on this game.
Also, just in case anyone is interested, IGN's review is out, and they loved the shit out of it, 9.8/10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNoSE...eature=g-all-u
You get to drive a fucking PELICAN... thats all I will say.
who cares, we've been driving pelicans for over 10 years.
Its just nice to see the Pelican be a usable vehicle in the campaign, which it hasn't ever been before.
So I have this app on my phone that lets me download books for free. Usually they're amateur attempts at writing, but every once and awhile you come across legitimate novels. For example, I already have Spinoza's "Improvement of Understanding", a few poems by William Blake, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", and "The Divine Comedy." On a whim I decided to look up some Halo books and I found "Ghosts of Onyx" and "Glasslands." I am a very happy Sanctus. I'm gonna search for "Fall of Reach" later. :-3
5:34 drivable mech in mutliplayer
It is IGN, mind you, but a pretty good review. I can't wait to play this myself though, which will probably be during the Holidays sadly.
Also, favorite parts during the review were at 6:35 and 6:41. Fucking great. ^_^
Actually you could in Halo Reach, just ask Kornman.Quote:

I figured out how to get the Seraph on Long Night of Solice. That clearly means it's a drivable vehicle in the campaign, just like the Warthog. :v:
Old, but insightful.
Hold on, what is this Firepower Armour Mod? "Let's you carry two primary weapons" is how the narrator described it, does that just mean you can have two primary weapons at the start of a game? The in-game description seems to suggest that. Or is the default mode now limiting the weapon combinations people can pick up and use?
"Firepower allows the use of a primary weapon in the secondary weapon slot".Quote:

I'm not sure if that's what it means. I think it just means you can put another primary in the secondary slot. Basically, it means I can have both a Covenant Carbine and an Assault Rifle to start with. Prepare to get owned suckas.Quote:

Isn't Halo 4 using initial class loadouts like Call of Duty now?Quote:

I gave in and pre ordered the game, but I only did it becuase I actually saw some decent looking envrioments in that trailer that reminded me of an actual Halo game. I'll be open to this one and judge it from there if Halo is actually worth continuing or not, but I still think it was stupid to have Masterchief... again.
The firepower mod is exactly this. When you spawn, you can have a rifle and any of 3 pistol types. You can swap any gun for any gun anytime in game, once you've spawned. With that perk you get to spawn with 2 rifles and no pistol, so as stated earlier, you spawn with a DMR and an AR, instead of a DMR and a pistol/plasma pistol/boltshot.
>Actual Halo game
Implying the last three Bungie releases weren't. No matter how much you hate it, those were actual Halo titles. I don't like it either, but I got over it. Your turn, critical Charlie(s). These things happened. Move on and quit your bitchin'. :v:
I gotta say, the only Halo games i throughly enjoyed were H1, H3, and ODST. H2 is so terrible, everyone hated it's guts in the day, and Reach is interesting at first... but gets really old fast and is quick to show it's flaws.
...I loved Halo 2. I honestly thought it had some of the best story telling of the series. 3 was alright, didn't like the over focus on Earth. Reach....reach should have been like the damn book. I really liked ODST.
I freaking loved ODST. I did thoroughly enjoy H3 but I have to agree with my brother on its focus on Earth. I mean, I understand that the Covenant is invariably going to attempt an invasion but Earth itself shouldn't have been the main focus imo.
It should be A main focus, they just should have shuffled how they did it.
Tsavo Highway was fun but it just kind of dragged on. That whole sequence could have been replaced with something off-world. Or something. Idk
H2 Id agree had some of the best environments and story telling, but the gameplay in it suffered greatly. You spend most of the campaign without human weapons and fighting flood, not to mention the gameplay was incredibly broken and frustrating throughout most of it.Quote:

Halo 3 needed to be longer. Period. For what it was, it felt way too rushed. I feel that if it had been about 1.5x more in the number and length of missions, then it would have been almost perfect. The remaining perfections would come down to changes in Multiplayer.
While we're on the subject of Halo 3, what was up with those transitions between checkpoints when Cortana was all in your face? Was she trying to contact Chief or what? I never got that. I know she stayed behind on High Charity but if she was attempting to make contact why didn't anyone notice?
I think it may have had something to do with her and the gravemind, which can telepathically link itself to anyone... I don't really know, I wondered about that myself tbh :P
Also, ODST is probably my second favorite campaign, only eclisped by that of CE, it was just so atmospheric, the sound, music, the visual style... it was just a pleasure to sit and play. I could wander around at night and almost think of it as going out for a walk... with the occasional firefight xP
ODST had the most awesome opening cinematic of all the games. The music was outstanding and the scene of dropping from the edge of space was just intense as fuck.
ODST is simply a fantastic game in so many ways. Great music, great cinematics, great animations, great aeshetic choices, great gameplay, and it leaves you wanting more. That's just vaguely explaining why it's so great too.
Hold the phone, all of Modacity's antagonistic minds are agreeing on something!
Oh shit I better save this page as a screenshot and frame it!
But yeah the opening sequence was amazing. I loved the suppressed pistol and smg, but mainly the pistol. Idk why but ODST's Firefight had a certain appeal to it that Reach didn't. Don't get me wrong, it was hella fun in Reach, but ODST had something different. I don't know if it was the color palette or atmosphere or what.
ODST was my favorite after Halo 1. That game was fucking gorgeous, and played amazingly. I still go on youtube just to watch the cutscenes sometimes. Great game. I think that is the one game id give a 9.5/10. (minus .5 because no elites -_-)
ODST really shines when you play it on Legendary with Tilt, Catch, Thunderstorm, and Mythic all enabled. Except the escort mission...that one can suck a nut.
Well, that's probably because ODST wasn't shit.Quote:

Rofl, such bullshit. I don't condone sexism for sure, but just because all of a sudden some of the project leads are females they feel the need to start a campaign about eradicating sexism from the game. Personally I feel racist comments are more vicious when people use them. To me that is more the pressing issue, and it occurs a lot more often than sexism comments.
The fact that Bungie added into the game teabagging, which we all know what it is mimicking.
A little bit ironic, if a game is considered sexist then people immediately assume that the franchise is run by men.

Cortana looks around 12. Chief confirmed as a pedo.
Episode 5 is out and is epic. Spartan Faces, Hunters, and fuck yeah.

Why can't I do this?!
Why does the forerunner architecture look so god damn clean? It just doesn't look right with the environments. I know Forerunner architecture is suppose to be extremely durable, but it just seems like the structures were newly built.
This is a dyson sphere, it's supposed to be sterile.
Ragnarok and a few others with a humid environment.Quote:

At least they got it right with Solace.
100,000 years of monotony? Perhaps they formed cleaning crews and got off on the fact that a shiny building is a sexy building.
Um...Sentinels? I'm sure maintenace sentinels exist in many forms.
The Prometheans obviously dressed up in little kawaii maid outfits and used feather dusters to clean and polish each building. :v:

If you aren't right now I recommend you guys watch the MLG Live Stream at MLG Dallas. Some nice gameplay action going on there.
So I'm playing through Halo 1 -3 to get a refresher and something funny has happened on Oracle in Halo 2. The two elites with Rtas died but the grunts lived. Both of them lived pass the bottom of the elevator sequence and into the containment room with all the turrets. I gave them plasma rifles and needlers and they were holding their own. Halo 2 was one of those games where I went out of my way to protect my allies because they had the most interesting dialogue in this game.
The entire time the grunt with the needler was making these apathetic AUGH noises, like he knew he was probably going to die and why the fuck did he have to deal with this shit. It's kind of hilarious. They eventually died in the containment room, there was a mishap with a plasma grenade and...3 carrier forms.
Hey guys, spoiler for Halo 4.
Halo dies at the end. :v:
Oh man, id restart if my men died. Not too long ago I played Sacred Icon, and I found 4 grunts and 2 jackals on the way(as usual), I gave both jackals carbines and grunts needlers. At the part with the enforcer, right before the gondola, I just jumped right down, assuming they were all gonna die there, turns out that i drew its fire, so when I jumped down, all of the grunts and jackals end up pwning this thing. Then, after the gondola got to the other side, I thought we were fucked with the flood. EVERY SINGLE ALLY LIVED. Even though they have no firing positions or anything at that point. They couldn't follow me after that :(Quote:

It's like how GTA tried to get more 'serious' in IV. It was acceptable. But it's not acceptable to touch my fucking grunts.
There should be a skull that unfucks this kind of shit.
The AI got boring to fight in later games just because you couldn't understand them. The Elites were so fun to listen to in H2. All the enemies just got obnoxious in Reach I swear, the elites in H2 had these really awesome sword swings and you could tell they put a lot of effort into kicking your ass with it. Then in Reach they just poke you to death.
