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

I find it absolutely striking that they've managed to make this game look like hand-drawn artwork in real time.

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;36216081]Well this look terrible. Come on it was a joke it looks absolutely amazing![/QUOTE] Do not. Start. That joke.

Sorry, forgot this was a no fun zone.

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;36216211]Sorry, forgot this was a no fun zone.[/QUOTE] No, Halo is all about fun. This is a no stupid zone.

Some MLG guy gave his impressions on the Halo 4 multiplayer.(The audio SUCKS though.) [video=youtube;_6RgW8-8hxE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6RgW8-8hxE[/video]

[QUOTE=Delta616;36215607]Nah, I went back in time to E3 2007, I was kindof pissed when I got there cause I really wanted to play Halo 4.[/QUOTE] Yeah...well...how was it?

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;36216239]Yeah...well...how was it?[/QUOTE] It was the best Halo experience I ever got my hands out. Everything is completely new, but stays true to the Halo I fell inlove with in 2001. [editline]5th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Arachnidus;36216239]Yeah...well...how was it?[/QUOTE] To continue on I LOVED all the new assassinations and improved vehicle combat. And new sound effects are AMAZING! Anyone bitching about how much they hate the new weapons haven't heard them in their full form.

That power-up system sounds really neat. I'm glad it's only just weapons or limited power ups. [editline]5th June 2012[/editline] Also, fuck me the Assault Rifle sounds powerful.

[QUOTE=KingKombat;36216501] Also, fuck me the Assault Rifle sounds powerful.[/QUOTE] Hearing it in game on an Astro A40 Headset made me jizz myself.

Main menu! [img]http://i.imgur.com/6u7xR.png[/img] In addition, new picture featuring a Scorpion and a Wraith. [img]http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w418/higherARC05/e32012halo4chiefhero3jpg-3a2f4c.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;36216621]Main menu! [img]http://i.imgur.com/6u7xR.png[/img] [/QUOTE] Is that a Halo ring at the top?

[QUOTE=Bokito;36216670]Is that a Halo ring at the top?[/QUOTE] God knows what on earth that means for the campaign.

I love the menu except for the white box surrounding your currently selected thingamabob. [editline]6th June 2012[/editline] You know what would be [I]awesome?[/I] The ability to modify weapon properties in custom gamemodes. Like the radius of a gravity hammer slam or the speed and force of a rocket. God knows that can't be impossible to make, considering the freedom the custom gamemodes have allowed previously.

[QUOTE=Bokito;36216670]Is that a Halo ring at the top?[/QUOTE] [h2]holy shit[/h2]

For some reason I always thought we destroyed and or disabled all the Halo's when we took out the arc.

No I don't think so?

[QUOTE=Delta616;36216951]For some reason I always thought we destroyed and or disabled all the Halo's when we took out the arc.[/QUOTE] I think MC only made sure they couldn't be remote-detonated and recreated from The Ark.

No, actually. In fact, iirc there were missions by the UNSC to find/destroy the rest of the rings. I might have imagined that though. The rings are still there though. They're just scattered like a bajillion light years from each other

I really need to update my knowledge of the expanded universe. I'm a bit out of date.

Alright, I think I figured it out with Halo 4. Mendicant Bias and his own special brand of Sentinels (The Prometheans) are kidnapping ships that stroll by (Like the Infinity, the Forward Unto Dawn, and maybe [del]Covenant[/del] pirate ships), reducing them and the crew to scrap, and using the materials taken to make a new Halo array like the one Chief helped reduce to scrap. [editline]6th June 2012[/editline] Kinda like the Reapers in Mass Effect.

[QUOTE=DChapsfield;36216701]God knows what on earth that means for the campaign.[/QUOTE] There are still 4 Halos unaccounted for, as far as we know. Installation 04 was destroyed, 05 was devestated by the Flood and then left abandoned after Halo 2, and 07 was found by ONI (and some serious shit went down). Hell, if Requiem is as special as I think, it's not insane to consider that it may have a Forge.

(Mein automerge) Or more specifically, the Collectors.

The Prometheans were a sect of the Forerunner military caste. By the time of the Flood War/activation of the Halo Array, they were all but decimated. My guess is, the Didact built up forces inside Requiem to strike back at the Flood, or to rebuild after the Array had been fired, but Mendicant made it to the shield world after he was imprisoned by Offensive Bias, then used the Sentinels to harvest whatever forces were there and made his own little private super army. However, plot holes abound, as Mendicant Bias was on the Ark. [editline]5th June 2012[/editline] Does anybody have any idea what the glyph at the end of the E3 trailer/gameplay vid is? It's not the Didact's, or Mendicant Bias', or Offensive Bias' or the Librarian's.

Wait, that wasn't Mendicant's glyph? Well, interchange Mendicant Bias with {AI.Forerunner.new} in my theory.

[img]http://www.halopedian.com/images/e/ec/MendicantBias_%28Rampant%29.png[/img] Nah, it doesn't match up. Interested in who the new dude is, now. My guess is that it may be the original 343-GS (Chakas before rampancy).

When I saw that (I think it was that) on the live action trailer I paused because I thought it was the Facepunch logo. :v:
