Halo |OT| She's Gone, Sir

There have been rumours but some 343i employees have basically made statements that Halo will have a presence at E3.
Some vague statements and talk of something called "Halo Infinity" existing, with no details beyond the name.
That's about it unless I missed something. Whatever's going on at 343i, it's well under wraps. No barns yet.
Yeah it depended on map, but they never gave a secondary weapon unfortunately.
I think maybe they just figure the people who would be most interested in CE are the hardcore fans, and they play without radar so it made sense.
As far as the MLG thing, I think no radar in classic Halo allows for more creativity in approaches and empowers solo players by not having your every move dictated by a radar. It's good for competitive play, but even better for casual play imo. It takes some getting used to especially if you're used to having it enabled, but over time I think the gameplay implications will be more apparent as your combat awareness, teamwork and general skill increases. I've noticed over the years how much focus people put on 2% screen estate that the radar takes up, and that can limit their progression.
Fuck, I want a new barn leak.
Anything vague and hinty from Frankie lately? I need some good confused hype.

i grew accustomed to radar over the last 17 years too. it definately doesnt add depth though... it just rewards players who camp in corners and trains players to rely on unearned info rather than their senses.
its difficult to function without radar when you are used to having it as a crutch, but after a short learning curve, you'll become so much better at the game because you'll learn nuances that you previously ignored because you were so focused on the corner of your screen.
empower the individual: 1) powerful utility weapon with a low min ttk but a high avg ttk 2) no abilities with guns down or cool downs [this weakens the individual in 1 v X scenarios] 3) less assists on powerweapons
grassroots: 1)LAN support 2) windows store and regional tourneys for pro points
progression: provide better incentives for playing in the competive playlist. give seasonal req pack reward at the end of the season, based on where you finished- not for simply completing placement matches.
online: gamebattles integration. view live tourneys and VODs from inside the game.

Shiny. Gold. Weapons.
69 Grunts drop onto a Halo ring in search of a food nipple.
Unironically this
Seriously though, they might as well dump out a free to play ODST Royale to tide us over until H6 in 2019. Shitload of aesthetic micro transactions. Could have classic map structures like The Pit as prime loot locations. Or imagine having New Mombassa as a Pochinki type area. What has happened to me, I want to see this.
I don't get why people are so opposed to Battle Royale - it's a ruleset. Don't woz, Team Slayer is gonna hang about init.
chasing trends is what got halo in the shit ist in now.
How many Halo OTs we have here .I swear I have seen multiple OTs for Halo.
Damn Era love for Halo is real???

Saw the platinum pack on my reqs and for a second i thought 343 finally sent me my damn unicorn skin. Cruel shit.
As long as it's contained in a spin-off game, I wouldn't mind. Just keep it the hell away from the mainline games.

I just can't imagine it'll be all that interesting . Especially if it's 1v100. I just envision a lot of cherry picking and camping- because who's gonna dual out in the open when you have one life? I just feel like the bread and butter of Halo's combat, the 1v1, will be a rarity.
I can imagine some squad concept that would be pretty cool- but I'd really rather them just focus on getting regular halo right.

Man, that was actually a good game, GFWL killed it though :c
My god the boltshot is so fucking stupid. So stupid.. who did this?
like a relaunch that includes everything between CE and H5 (w/ intelligent delivery to mitigate the filesize issue). that would be petty cool.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. New games get added when they become old
i want those bolt gernades again - where you threw them against a surface, they sticked, then after a second they blew up shooting needles. i had fun with those and people who chased :P
Seems a likely answer to me, especially if they're gonna release it on PC.
It would make total sense if they keep adding every game to the collection - but if that's the case, I hope it also launches with a new unique MP experience as well.
Also gimme ODST Firefight in 60fps with online MM.
I booted the game up and was able to join my first match rather quickly. I was not able to find my second match so that is when I came and posted that message. Something was wrong with my connection though, I ended up having to go offline and restart my console and then bring it back online. I think there was some sort of data sync issue. Anyways, I've been playing all morning with no problems. I forgot how much I love Halo, this entire morning has been pure nostalgia.
I have not played Halo 5 multiplayer, but judging from the competitive leagues it seems that the BR no longer has any presence in the game. I also do not like clambering and sprint. I know its a long shot, but I really hope Halo 6 brings the series back to its roots with more basic game play mechanics and also a greater BR presence.
BR has a presence... but they did an weapons tuning update a while back that nerfed the BR and added spread, making it less viable than the magnum.
Sometimes hard resetting the xbox helps (holding down the power button) if you run into connection issues.
Not having the BR as a focus seems a little weird on the surface after 2-3-4 but having a really solid single-shot weapon is pretty great once you get used to it. As Trup1aya mentioned, the BR has been nerfed anyway, so it's not even terribly useful as a pick-up.
Decided to pop in Halo and do some ranked Slayer to het hyped for Halo 6 reveal tonight.
Haven't played in a good while. First game I get totally wrecked, like, 2/14 bad. I the post game screen I find out that I was matched against Onyx and Diamond 6s (my best ever has been Plat 3ish, but I am more a high gold guy).
I like 343s confidence in me.

That wasn't a Halo trailer, it was an advert for the Slipspace engine.
They made a small post on waypoint. Its still gonna be a bit.

But there will be flighting similar to MCC.

Sounds like 2020 to me. I wonder if they have anything to fill in the gap. Are MCC and Halo 5 supposed to carry us all the way until Infinite?
That's what I gathered as well.
Looks are one thing. Gameplay is another.
I don't care how it looks if it doesn't play like classic Halo.

It looks very much like Sparth's style translated directly into 3D. Almost painterly. I like it.
Jesus this game seems so far away by the wording
