Also, we need some kind of dinosaur or reptile. Can't have an arena shooter without lizard people.

Halo |OT2| Master Chief for Smash

I'm surprised they were able to get a half decent fur texture out of the engine, can't recall anything being done like that prior, and I always assumed it was a limitation that led to the way Halo 3 Brutes looked.
Dinosaurs have my vote.
Elites in ODST FF are definitely interesting haha. On one hand, the novelty of proper enemy Elites in the H3 engine for the first time ever, 14 years after H3 launched, is definitely there. Plus it's cool they went all out and added Heretics as a wave option too. But there's definitely some jank lol. There's no "chatter", animations aren't particularly expressive, and behavior isn't particularly interesting. Which is fine, because clearly they weren't going to go an author new animations and behaviors, but next to other enemies they do stand out as less engaging. Also, hilariously apparently all Elites in H3 have exactly one, very rigid death animation which becomes apparent EXTREMELY quickly, lol. Oh, and kinda funny going back to Sword Elites being like CE where you can't pick up their swords.
Flood's neat, and Sentinels (along with Sentinels + Flood being a wave option) are a cool extra surprise.

See this actually looks pretty good:
I would prefer it slightly more toned down (the crest made of metal like H5's Achilles rather than fur/hair and no lions) but it's decent.
The skull based homage to cheap tat which would be rejected from a fan made mod for Elder Scrolls on the other hand…
I think these look pretty good and better than many sets from Reach onward.
I also think meditation Chief has hilarious taunt potential, assuming you can use it mid-match.
I had the same thought, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect squat. I'd rather play 5

It's a post game pose, not an in-game emote. That'd be hilarious as an emote tho.
The tweet with Captain? Nah, that's definitely Infinite related.

I meant with Spartan dimensions/modeling/hurtboxes.
And how dare you consider Elites reptiles. They are Sangheili.. Smh frauds.
Got in the insider for MCC S8. Here are the armors and the Turf remake. Love them all. I forgot how tight Turf feels. Y'all like the armor?
Yeah, it's just a nice little novelty and should be seen as such. They were never meant to be fought in 3.
Flood in ODST Firefight is a little buggy, at least with the settings I picked. I got a couple of waves where nothing spawned at all, so I was just wandering around the map with nothing to shoot. Works great when they do spawn in, though.
Also, the "Elites" wave option took me by surprise with just how many they throw at you. Note to self, pick Elite Infantry next time.

Technical Preview Outcomes
<p>Welcome back, Halo Insiders! Now that the team has had a chance to process the feedback we received during last month’s Halo Infinite Multiplayer Technical Preview it’s time to unpack it all with the community. In this blog, we’re going to be taking a closer look at the overall key areas of...
neat writeup, but still bummed about the new radar getting canned so soon.

I'm so confused. What was he trying? What were these "issues"?

If I'm working at 343 and read a tweet like that, I'd feel encouraged to keep it so they can learn it because it's better for gameplay, AND I'd push for a training drill for it.
It's so unimaginable to me that players are soooooooo dependent on such small screen estate that they are incapable of functioning without it.
So many audio and visual feedback systems in play and now people also want elevation.
I'm going to have a heart attack if they include elevation, man.
Here's a quick breakdown:
Radar: We reverted it because reactionaries get spooked by change despite the clear gameplay improvements 😡
Gravity Hammer: Still no gravity (but maintaining that nice slow swing ✔)
Auto-Sprint: Post-launch
Damage/Mark UI individual color customization: Post-launch
Fix timed XP boosters counting down outside of matches: Post-launch
Weapon drill improvements/expansion: Post-launch
Increased Personal AI customization: Post-launch
Outline Off Toggles: Post-launch 😡
HUD improvements & customization: Post-launch

Re' the radar, "...we found that most players missed the old properties in these social matches", makes it sound like the change will indeed be social only. Thank god.
the replies on the gaming thread are going to give me an aneurysm
i never want to see the word sprint again

Yeah but BR starts, man. It's either social with full radar or ranked combat sensor with BR starts, assuming that's how it'll be.
So wack. And likely not even a customs browser until Forge or later.

I will, but all the people who think motion tracker helps them won't lol.
If they add elevation on top of that...... hoooo boy.
All these bad kids in gaming side having to chase red dots on a radar to get kills, to say nothing of the kids that go "but if I don't have a red dot on radar, how will my camping be successful?!"
Basura.

Crossposting to get things I missed:
Why we don't need motion tracker, look at all these systems to help you know where enemies are and to help with the flow is gameplay --
Why we don't need motion tracker, look at all these systems to help you know where enemies are and to help with the flow is gameplay --
- Friendly indicators w/ different colors to indicate status (teammate under attack flashes yellow, red X for dead teammates, etc.)
- Personal AI giving you the ins and outs during the match
- Spartan chatter that also feeds you info
- Jeff Steitzer (multiplayer announcer) to give you the play by play
- Directional audio for combat to know where the action is
- Objective markers to help with the flow of gameplay and keep players aware of what needs to be done
- Flashing red arrows to indicate where you're getting shot from
- Threat Sensor equipment that outlines enemy through walls
- Loud footsteps
- The new marking system to pinpoint enemy locations
- On mic comms/callouts
- Grenade hitmarkers
- Etc.

Even I agree with FUNKNOWN
TBF I've always agreed with FUNKNOWN about motion tracker.
Oh, that. I thought the convo was on the radar. Still expect we'll get either the ability radar from the tech test r no radar at all in ranked
