The Halo Thread V8: Nooo Mongoose, Come Back! - Games

[QUOTE=Delta616;37043753]I can't speak for everyone else, but I wasn't. The soft launch for my company is set for late September.[/QUOTE] Going to stop lurking for a second just to congratulate you, that's really cool.

[QUOTE=Delta616;37043753]The soft launch for my company is set for late September.[/QUOTE] Congratulations, I hope it goes well.

Do you guys have any game concepts working around, or are you just in the setup and get established phase?

I appreciated the kind word and support everybody. Arachnidus, we do indeed have several projects on the drawing board, and one in development. Aswell as a side projecting that I am funding personally that brings gaming, roleplay, and laser tag all in one. Feel free to contact me outside the thread for more info or general questions. Lets get this back on topic. :)

[QUOTE=Delta616;37051520]Lets get this back on topic. :)[/QUOTE] Problem is, we have nothing to discuss Halowise. Unless anyone wants to kickstart a discussion.

It looks like their selling off the Halo 4 controllers seperate: [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Halo-Xbox-360-Wireless-Controller/dp/B008LSGQOW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1343936320&sr=8-5[/url] As well as with the xbox.

So it is

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;37053631]Problem is, we have nothing to discuss Halowise. Unless anyone wants to kickstart a discussion.[/QUOTE] Well, more of the Limited Edition was revealed.

What a gorgeous package!

Also, in response to people on NeoGAF complaining about Shotgun loadouts: [QUOTE=Frankie]This kind of sentiment always baffles me. I happen to know that you, in particular, have a more nuanced understanding of how game development works. That pieces are assembled in such a way that they can be tested, used, tested, used, tested. That the code WE NEED to work with is utterly different in conception than the product we intend to deliver. And here's a note - that functionality is STILL in the game, so that, for example, you can play team Shotties.[/QUOTE]

BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE!

[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;37054956]Well, more of the Limited Edition was revealed.[/QUOTE] Wow what a lovely little package, good thing Ive already put an order on Amazon for one of these.

[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;37054956]Well, more of the Limited Edition was revealed. goddddddddamn [/QUOTE] What was it, 3 more months until it comes out? Maybe I can get enough money to pre-order this before it. Fuck that looks good.

well fuck me because i will have no money to buy that shit. guess i have to settle for regular :/

Unless the shotgun is absolutely terrible, It can't work. The shotgun is a one shot, and is a counter to sword. Someone doing good with sword? Not anymore, whole team spawns with shotguns. I'm also disappointed jetpack is back. People exploited soft kill zones, and got to places were no kill zones were present.

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;37064771]They've probably nerfed the shotgun. The scattershot fills that role now.[/QUOTE] Yea but its a shotgun, if its not a one shot up close, you might as well double pummel. [editline]3rd August 2012[/editline] Which would make the shotgun redundant

Didn't the Shotgun work as a spawned primary in Invasion in Reach? I believe it did, so I don't really see a reason to be very worried. From what I've seen, 343 seems to know what they're doing.

Anyone with the slightest of a precision weapon can take them out anyways

However, I think it's just the normal, redesigned Jackal. I've gotta say, I rather like it. I'm starting to think Storm may be a faction, probably the Covenant we're fighting in Halo 4. The group from Glasslands. There's too many references to the word Storm that don't quite fit in with it being used as a tactical moniker ("Storm Rifle" is one thing, but "Storm Jackal", and a few other references, are another).

The Grunt is also Prefixed with Storm as well.

What if Storm is a subcategory of Covenant? Perhaps made up of different breeds of each species.

Hey how come they made the Jackal's eyes smaller? Weren't their big eyes the reason why they were used as snipers?

Maybe there's a sniper variant.

Cool. I just upgraded to a 300mbps FIOS connection and the ethernet adaptor on my Xbox doesn't support it. Now I need to buy a wireless S adaptor. My Internet is too advanced for my Xbox.

Posted yesterday, more info about the SPv3 campaign and stuff [url]http://www.halomods.com/ips/index.php?/topic/578-announcement-cmts-b-team-the-rest-of-spv3/[/url] Early WIP, but some of the stuff looks and sounds pretty cool [IMG]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8425/7698500800_fac9e8c559_h.jpg[/IMG] God that is a sexy warthog for a halo CE-engine game.
