before I plop into a live MP game in 4 i'm going to go into forge and test out all the vehicles see how they handle
[QUOTE=supersoldier58;37910648]My favorite custom map was Coldsnap, the winter environment made it feel so cozy.[/QUOTE]
The reason I brought it up is because I once tried to remake Yoyorast in Reach and build it into the terrarian.. I got a good portion of the track layout finished, but I ran out of budget as I was going, and I dislike Reach so much that I never really tried to optimize/finish it. The race gametype in reach wasn't anything like the traditional Race type, anyway.
Coldsnap was pretty cool. It's probably one of the biggest maps ever made for a game from the early 2000's.

Cool video, but did they have encoding issues with the first person bits? Everything looks fine until he starts walking around first person, at which point I can see the eye-rape ghosting effect from Reach.

It was a bit too big in my opinion. At least for an 8v8 anyways. It took a few full minutes to cross even with the fastest vehicle and because it was so big it was pretty undetailed. Can't say I didn't enjoy nuking everything with longswords or going on a betrayal spree with the 1HKO sniper though.

Heh, forget that.
Put C4 on your teammates and then teamswap.

8 versus 8 does sound kind of small for that map. Wasn't the max team size 16? Most of the battles in the map tended to take place in a few key areas, with dogfights going on everywhere else. Or at least that's what I found.
Going for a longsword and somebody gets there before you? Hit him with C4 as he flies over your head and out of the hanger.

Halo's MP has always had a max player cap of 16, which means 8v8 teams at most. Really, those big maps were pretty enjoyable, but they were just too big for Halo since they never got past the 16 maximum. The maps would be better suited for 16v16, but even then there were a lot of overpowered vehicles and weapons. This is the exact reason why people should stop complaining about there not being Phantoms + Pelicans in Halo's MP, because once you've played Halo CE on Coldsnap/Extinction you'll quickly see that they have absolutely no place in a competitive 8v8 shooter.

I could have sworn that Halo 1 had a cap of 32. And even though Pelicans and Phantoms might not fit in with the standard competitive shooter experience today, they sure as hell were fun.
On another note, what the hell is up with this ghosting in the Ragnarok video? I hope it was a side-effect of them rendering the video after recording, as opposed to how the game actually looks.

They would basically only be massive killing machines or giant flying overkills.

Last time I saw an affect like that it was caused by frame rate drop, haven't seen that in months though.
That carbine looks sexy. I take it weapons have multiple skins now?

If it's in the game and just a video rendering problem it's probably there to help render textures.
Also anyone else kind of hoping that 343i moves away from 8 vs 8 and goes for something bigger like a 32 player cap?
[QUOTE=dogmachines;37911571]That carbine looks sexy. I take it weapons have multiple skins now?[/QUOTE]
yeah there's a lot of skins the one in the picture is the UNSC skin for the carbine.
[QUOTE=Delta616;37911557]Last time I saw an affect like that it was caused by frame rate drop, haven't seen that in months though.[/QUOTE]
If that's the case, hopefully they were using a dev build or something similar in that video that was causing the frame rate to drop.

Ghosting and motion blur are both post-process effects, they don't help render textures.
Aw yeah, Valhalla remake, baby
Frankles made an interesting post about space elevators on HaloGAF.
[QUOTE]Noob question: I'm aware this is probably dumb to ask but what are the fallen circular structures embedded in the ground when you first emerge from the caves on Tsavo Highway? They look like mini Halo's lol.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Frankie]Others have answered it but they're part of the magnetic/structural apparatus that drives the "elevators" up the cables. Depending on how one of these things was damaged, the tether would be either mostly yanked into orbit, or slammed into the ground, but either way you're getting a lot of damage and debris on the ground.

Another Map Walkthrough, can't find a youtube version

Even though Valhalla is superior to Blood Gulch, I still want Blood Gulch. Lot of fond memories on that map. :(
More IGN map walkthroughs.

Woo, that looks good. I was thinking of Halo CE while watching it, and it's based on the same concept as one of those maps.
But again with the extreme ghosting.

I really hope these were pre-recorded months ago.
Sorry about that earlier, guys, I woke up thinking today was Friday. Imagine my surprise.
There's fem spartans in multiplayer right? I think they said so, but I've only seen male spartans.
Meltdown reminds me of Ice fields,
Complex reminds me or Powerhouse,
And Adrift reminds me of condemned
Anyone else who loves the dynamic moving HUD? It looks like you're actually in a helmet. That and actually seeing the helmet in campaign will probably make it even more immersive.

Something to do with the release of Foward Unto Dawn tomorrow I assume.
