[QUOTE=Arachnidus;36951824]King, you getting raped by this storm, too?[/QUOTE] Indeed. Driving up the NJ Turnpike going.

Dual clutch is bitch in this weather.

this shit is nasty as fuk but bootiful

Serj Tankian's new song "Harakiri" goes epic with the storm. As king I declare it the national anthem of Halotopia

[QUOTE=Irespawnoften;36952136]what is it exactly, the weather that is. Rain?[/QUOTE] Heavy rain, 80 MPH winds, Fuckton of lightining.

word, tristate here and we got apocalyptic rain and wind As to not derail the thread: [QUOTE=Bloodshot12;36948518]IDK if this was already posted (if so bash away at me) but I'll just leave this stuff here [video=youtube;QSU8nL-mmAg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSU8nL-mmAg[/video][/QUOTE] Are they showing off the wraith on Blood Gulch just for the space, or is there going to be a Custom Edition multiplayer for this...?

Probably showing it off since they focus on single player, but it's very possible to have all the same stuff utilized in multiplayer thanks to open sauce. Just need to find someone willing to make an mp map for it. They might do mp eventually, but that's a long way off if ever from them. And I didn't really pay attention last time i watched it, but the shaders on that Wraith are fucking pretty.

OKAY SINCE NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO SET A TIME FOR SATURDAY HOW ABOUT 8:00 CENTRAL TIME

[URL="http://www.littleenglishhaloblog.com/2012/07/mega-bloks-reveal-forward-unto-dawn.html"]If Mega Bloks is to be believed, 343 may have retconned the [I]Forward Unto Dawn's[/I] design.[/URL] The new one is much, much more...modern looking, than the [I]Charon[/I]-class frigates we saw in Halo 3. It looks more akin to the [I]Infinity[/I]. [IMG]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--icoAtKloqU/UBGaQ_PLmtI/AAAAAAAACts/tJfALq1Tnmo/s1600/Capture6.PNG[/IMG] [editline]27th July 2012[/editline] I'm not sure how I feel about that, I always rather liked the original frigate design. Felt like a plausible starship- small by UNSC standards, large by ours, made of titanium and contemporary looking designs and generally giving a sense of "this is something we could build". This one feels a bit more like the UNSC's tech would be after [I]Infinity[/I], not with a ship that was built during the war, or beforehand. Not to say I don't like the design, I'm just not agreeing with [I]Forward Unto Dawn[/I] being retconned into it. [editline]27th July 2012[/editline] Also, I see nowhere a MAC could fire from.

God damn it 343. You can't just retcon everything now that you are in the driver's seat, there's this thing called continuity. (provided this is true anyway. sexy ship though)

I'm praying that 343 is doing that in the same sense as the Normandy SR-2 where it's a ship that uses some of the old designs and carries the original's name. I mean, from looking at the size Infinity, it should be able to house a smaller ship or two somewhere within it. Ah hell, I'm grasping at straws here ain't I? [editline]27th July 2012[/editline] Goddamnit watched the original reveal trailer again. The retconned design is official... Fuck you 343, fuck you... Still buying. But seriously? Watch the reveal trailer at about 1:05 in and pay very close attention to the FUD. [editline]27th July 2012[/editline] Checked the cover. Retconned design is there too. What's next, the Pillar of Autumn was really a Sovereign Class Cruiser like the USS Enterprise? The Halo trilogy is not some retold grandpa story. You don't just have a case of the "Oh some of the details have been lost or mixed up in time". We are seeing this story as it happens.

I kinda don't give a shit, not exactly too serious.

King, I think your V9 banner needs a revision, which I will gladly do on my own sometime later today when I have the time. USS Enterprise with a plaque saying "Pillar of Autumn" duct-taped to the side. [editline]27th July 2012[/editline] I don't know why 343 didn't retcon all Frigates though, because in the Commissioning trailer you can see a Charon class frigate (The old design) flying next to the Infinity. Why retcon the FUD is beyond me. I don't see it being worth it as you're only on it for one level, where it is half destroyed. Seeing as we saw frigates flying in space next to the Infinity, I'm going to continue to assume that the Infinity has room to hold a frigate somewhere in it, ala a Covenant Super-Carrier. Also, something tells me that 343 is going to explain the retcon with the same way they explained Chief's armor changing. I can accept the armor part, but a ship that can remodel itself while half destroyed is just ridiculous. Then again, this was the same ship that had electricity sources still working in it after being cut in half to power the server Cortana is on and that Cryotube Chief is in for several years.

[QUOTE=Irespawnoften;36951226]Indeed, shame its only 4 per team though. :/[/QUOTE] Then we split into teams and see who can do better.

The ship was already retconned wat [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMhlyDjldwY&feature=player_detailpage#t=76s[/url]

As zombie said, they already retconned the FUD. Not a big deal. You see what happend was Cortana put half the ship in cryo, nano botted it up. Then Bender came along did his whole binary time travel thing and did the same changes to FUD 5 years before CE.
