That's awesome, but I can't help but notice the weapon icon is the sword.
[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;37811089]Screens of the supposed remake map have been taken.

Jokes aside that would be amazing if it is a remake of Valhalla.
Ragnarok is a pretty good name for a Valhalla remake, assuming I'm seeing the name right. I just hope they get the river right, it wouldn't be Valhalla if bodies and weapons didn't flow down the stream.
Oh god yes bring back Valhalla, the huge map in Reach was fucking horrible, can't remember what it was called. Haven't played BTB in Reach in a long time though, didn't they nerf the vehicles in that map? [editline]26th September 2012[/editline] whatever just bring back valhallllaaaaaa

[QUOTE=Irespawnoften;37811663]Reach's BTB tends to suck quite a bit because 343 listened to all the wrong people and made all the wrong changes.[/QUOTE] Oh yeah, they took over. What did they change so radically then?
[QUOTE=xalener;37810187]^ It's not just an artstyle change, you fucking idiot. It's an ARTIST change. For the last fucking time, this is not Bungie. This is 343. Different people, different look. Jhonen Vasquez wouldn't draw Thor the same way Jack Kirby did. Exactly. The flood doesn't know what the fuck to do when half of the host isn't even flesh. Does it form a biomass and take over the suit, or does it -- alright, fuck you and fuck this argument. You don't have to fucking buy it, it just is. It is a fact now. This is the new flood. This is the new Halo. This is what they look like now. Fuck the past. Fuck the previous flood designs. You'll still be bitching while you're playing when the game's out, I'll be playing it too, probably bitching about something completely different. There's a chance we'll both get as much enjoyment from it as each other. End of.[/QUOTE] You aren't the argument police, nor a moderator. You don't get to decide when an argument is over and when it is not. So don't act like you can. If every other iteration of the Flood looked EXACTLY the same, minus specific differences between the races they absorbed, then absorbing Spartans should be no different. They've absorbed Elites and Brutes in their armor, none of whom looked like lobster mutants. So to say that this is acceptable because it's a "new Halo" is fucking stupid. I [I]know[/I] what the Flood look like, and it is [B]NOT[/B] that. Whether or not it's a new game. I would think actual Halo fans would know the difference too, but I'm guessing many of you are complacent because you don't really care how 343 Industries treats the series.

[QUOTE=Pat4ever;37811733] I'm guessing many of you are complacent because you don't really care how 343 Industries treats the series.[/QUOTE] Yes, we do care. For the most part 343 has treated this franchise with Care, respect, and the progression is deserves. We're not going to bitch over a new artistic direction based off of one model for a MP gamemode.
Im om with a valhalla remake, its technically blood gulch.
[QUOTE=Delta616;37811780]Actually, the argument WAS over, for almost two hours.[/QUOTE] Why? Because one person with an attitude said so?
[QUOTE=Muntu;37811685]Oh yeah, they took over. What did they change so radically then?[/QUOTE] Man, its been so many little things, and I don't have a list of them all, sorry. :(

I would think actual Halo fans would know the difference too, but I'm guessing many of you are complacent because you don't really care how 343 Industries treats the series.[/QUOTE] We do. It just so happens that we tend to like many of the things they've done so far. Change can be good. Evolution over revolution is what we're seeing, and it's not to a negative consequence. Everyone seems to love Halo 4 so far, it's been getting universal praise in playtests and the art style changes have been more or less approved of by the majority of this thread and the community as a whole. Not caring about a beloved game series and actually enjoying some of the newer elements of that series are two different things.
[QUOTE=Pat4ever;37811815]Why? Because one person with an attitude said so?[/QUOTE] No, because all points were made, most sides of the argument was dumb and getting out of hand.
[QUOTE=Pat4ever;37811815]Why? Because one person with an attitude said so?[/QUOTE] No, because I have better things to do. I made my point, he made his, I respectfully disagree, but see where he's coming from. End of story. Don't know where you want it go from there.
[QUOTE=Pat4ever;37811815]Why? Because one person with an attitude said so?[/QUOTE] No, because the collective got over it. [I]For two hours[/I]. And then you brought it back up again.
Whatever. Keep rating me dumb, I don't give a shit. Hope you enjoy the Flood looking like this rather than the established canon.[IMG]http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/161392-10656-550x-196_venom_fornt3.jpg[/IMG] [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Asking for ratings" - Craptasket))[/highlight]

Oh wait, there isn't any. We'll just ignore the fact that most of that model is covered by most of the MJOLNIR GEN2 armor, and we never seen a Spartan Flood hybrid before. And the fact this takes place on a holographic simulation. OH NO! THE FLOOD HAVE TEETH! THEY ARE VENOM NOW!
[H2]PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE VALHALLA IF IT ISN'T ZANZIBAR[/H2] [editline]26th September 2012[/editline] fucking seriously guys? a flood model for mp and you guys are bitching jesus
I know I bitch a lot about Halo related things, but fucking hell get over it, no one cares anymore. I used to hate the Chiefs new design, now I like it, I used to hate the new Pelican, now its growing on me, and I'm pretty sure by tomorrow morning I'll be totally ok with the new flood player models. What Im trying to say is although we hate something at first when a change is brought foward to us, we eventually take off the nostalgia goggles and get over it. [QUOTE=Killer monkey;37811811]Im om with a valhalla remake, its technically blood gulch.[/QUOTE] Its better than Blood Gulch. Blood Gulch is overrated, Vahalla made it a lot more fun for those player's who went on foot and Warthogs didnt get killed from across the map like they do in Reach's version.
[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;37812174]Its better than Blood Gulch.Blood Gulch is overrated[/QUOTE] Coagulation is best gulch. Shame reach's gulch is so broken :(

85 new posts, yay something new announced, oh how wrong was I :v: [sp]And for the record, we have no recollection of ever having an infected spartan flood form, only marines and the alien speices of the covenant, hell even the ORIAN project marines were immune, take johnson for example[/sp] Goddamn it king, why can't i rant without being proven wrong seconds before posting. :v:
I love the Mantis (The new mech) they remind me of GEKKO from Metal Gear Solid 4. Also ive been thinking about the whole flood shit, remember these are guys in simulation, that includes the guys who are playing as the Flood. It would be pretty hard for them to simulate a guy with a snapped back neck and missing limbs when its just a guy pretending to be the Flood for a training simulation.
Still sad that they're going with the Reach Banshee design, I always viewed it as an ugly prototype to the real Banshee.
Exactly, the only thing that ever came remotely close to a spartan flood was when an infection form tried to infect chief when his shields were down, but Cortana prevented that with a shock and it was only seen in the novels.
you guys have to keep in mind that everything in Reach was pretty much prototype technology, that could easily be the next generation of the technology we are used to. Now that the war has been over, we are going to see technology from reach be mass produced on both sides.

I'm saying this in the nicest way possible.
Still think the mech is stupid and has no place in a halo game. And this is coming from a guy who loves mechs.
