Spoiler Halo Mega Thread

Ghost rush in warzone assault is best rush. Got a whole group of people along with LoA and we had half the team run in with ghosts. Won every time.

>TFW you literally solo an entire game of warzone (video coming as soon as I can figure out how to upload full games to youtube or something else)

But seriously. Why didn't they just use the MKV helmet from Halo 4?
They did it with every other helmet so why is this any different?

No, it doesn't mention custom gametypes
No, it doesn't mention the release date ("This week")
No, it doesn't mention the file size

Now you don't need to bother opening the link

So how bad is this game? It's probably fucking awful.

It's really not that bad. Warzone is a pretty interesting addition, the Req system with the card packs is pretty enticing and the campaign is pretty good from the few missions I've played so far. Arena can be fun but the lack of competitive modes where you don't start with an assault rifle and a very small amount of playlists are a pretty big buzzkill. Just don't listen to the "10/10 genuine core Halo gameplay but more modern" comments and try thinking of it as something different altogether. I'm having more fun that way.

Besides:

Pistol ≥ Battle Rifle

No, it doesn't mention custom gametypes

I don't need your handouts!

Can't watch because in class. Anything more I should know than what was described by 343 in that link?

Revised magnet tool.
Object welding. You can basically make two objects a new single object.
Scripting.
Weather effects
Fog
Can change the terrain. Such as change it to a snow theme.
You don't have to sit through a loading screen to render the dynamic lighting.
Copy/paste entire grouped sections. Such as a base you just made, for example.
Natural objects such as grass will take on the texture of the base map terrain underneath so it blends in naturally.

Just to name a few.

Damn, sounds good. Especially the texture stuff and grouping.

The pain of making detailed symmetrical maps is gone forever

Just like all those beautiful warzone bases.

Lol damn.

Prophet's bane is a little bit scary to fight against.

The sword gives you a permanent active camo cloak and it's got the lunge range of a football field when you scope in with it.

Ghost rush in warzone assault is best rush. Got a whole group of people along with LoA and we had half the team run in with ghosts. Won every time.

You know what I want to see one day? An entire team of people driving phaetons.

The Mark V looks fucking hideous.

343i's art team really does destroy everything it touches.

just fuck my shit up

Isn't it actually MK IV?

That's MK V.

MK IV is coming out this week.

*Finally* picked up shadow of intent after oh, just a week of waiting for it to become available - and even then, I had to download the kindle app because it still doesn't show up on iBooks or Google Play. The same shit happened with New Blood and Saint's Testimony, how can the marketing or sales or whoever is in charge of publishing the books fuck up three times in a row? It's honestly ridiculous. I fucking hate these digital-only novels, and I really hope the print edition of New Blood has the other two novellas in it. A mini Halo Evolutions kind of thing.

That said, I've read the first couple chapters and I'm yet to find anything to dislike. I'm getting a lot of Broken Circle vibes, not just because of the focus on Sangheili and San 'Shyuum. The writing style is too similar and I love it. I wish we could have got Staten working on a full novel...

Maybe if 343 hired them authors to be part of a.. I don't know...a real writing team.

Forge controls are a little weird

Turns out every single Big Team map is breakable

Daily reminder that it is nearly two months from launch and we still have yet to get any more custom games options.
