[QUOTE=Beetle179;34790116]So I finally caved after 2 years and bought Halo 2 Vista. Not so much for the multiplayer (I've heard it's a mess of hackers), but I seriously miss the campaign.[/QUOTE]
It seems the hacking has died down, or if there are hackers they just really suck even with hacking. I decided to install it recently and If I'm not in a server where you can get spawn killed by enemy UNSC tanks (Coag, ahem) Me and 1 other person can pretty much dominate an entire team half the time. It's pretty sad.
Well, I decided to make a concept image based off of my post earlier, was bored, had Gimp on my desktop. Did this.
Miraculous JPEG Compression took this image from a gigabyte (How the fuck?) down to 756Kb (Ok, well it does have a ridiculous resolution...)

[QUOTE=certified;34811197]Same for Reach. And it will be the same for Halo 4.
Speaking of Halo 4, 343 best be adding join-in-progress to matchmaking.
Also, it might be time to add a bit more spice to multiplayer, sure, multiplayer hasn't been in reskin territory for the past 5 games, but the formula is starting to get stale.
We need things like higher playercounts, larger maps (Forge world size), classes (Medic, Support, ect, not COD "Classes"), and gameplay that revolves around teamwork and communication.
If you've played Hugeass or Coldsnap, which are maps that only real way to succeed is by heavy teamwork, then you will know what I mean. Like that, but all the time is where I'm going with this. Same basic gameplay as normal Halo, but with much more emphasis on teamwork, much like COD3 is to the rest of it's series.[/QUOTE]
The memories, excuse me while I throw up a few screens

If they could learn from the CSbots, it would be awesome, CSbots are THE best 'player' bots I've ever seen, I mean, they've been developed from CS1.6 and have been fixed up to be used offically in CSCZ, CSS and TF2, they're fantastic

I've always wanted to do that in vehicles like the longsword, draco, and pelican but you just fall through them once they start flying
So the guy who uploaded the video showing a supposedly [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkIn8oAnT1Y]Halo 4 MP Alpha[/url] menus leaked from an Internal Source at 343 uploaded these.

I mean they are most likely fake, but they are still pretty cool.
I can remember standing in the Longsword a few times during flight, you had a very high chance of dying randomly or falling out
Theme doesn't sound the least bit Halo. I doubt 343 would be willing to take that step, Marty or no Marty.
I agree with that, and the cinematic effects video doesn't make sense (unless they're for pre-rendered cutscenes, which would be more likely since they are called 'cinematic' effects) because I believe Halo 4 is using the Reach engine, unless they overhauled it none of those effects would be possible afaik
If it were a real BTS it would probably have at least a few voice commentaries.
I wouldn't mind if the main theme actually turned out to be something like that. That sounds really cool, and you've got to remember this is a new trilogy.
They've even confirmed they've got homage to some of the original trilogy music in a few of them. Most likely variants of the chants.
I can't decry that last video, but the music seems a little off from what we're used to. Very Mass Effect 3/Crysis-esque (especially Crysis 2), but it's also got quite a bit of its own attitude. Doesn't seem very Halo, but I get a feeling of familiarity from it. I doubt it's real music, but I wouldn't be disappointed if it was.

That "Halo Anniversary" menu at the beginning looks like a modded UI for Halo Custom Edition to make the menu look like Anniversary's.
Theres been two weeks since i bought halo reach, and i'm hating the multiplayer. Seriously, people vote for a dmr map and use any weapon other than the FUCKING DMR. It drives me mad.
Sorry, i needed badly to come here just to say that.
Am I the only one who thinks Halo 4 will suck and is just more Microsoft franchise milking?
It just feels unnecessary. I felt that Halo 3 rapped up almost everything nicely and Reach filled any remaining questions. Bungie ended it at Reach because they new when to stop, and now Microsoft is just milking.
I felt the same way about Anniversary Addition as well. It's just the same game as Halo: CE but on a better engine. It's like getting a shot-for-shot remake of say the STALKER series on Source, sure it's neat but there's nor reason to purchase the same fucking game AGAIN.

I thought that too, at first, but it seems that 343i really cares for the series, and they also say that they want to expand the story telling aspect of the series.

Well, if they voted for a DMR map, i imagine that they want to use the DMRs. But they dont. Its easier just to chose another gametype.

Blatant Bullshit.
The article is several months old but it's quite interesting, it's about Halo 4 and it provides some information and a lot of hope for the game.

Team SWAT is my favorite playlist. I love it. I just played an amazing match of with, with a 21 kill spread. at the beginning of the game I was fired upon by teammates, but the booting tool took care of that.
I have to buy the DLC though, since I used to use a "family" xbox and my brother bought the DLC and got anniversary for xmas. I got my own xbox so just stock maps for me.

[url=http://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/03/01/The-Halo-Bulletin-30112.aspx]March matchmaking update(dropping March 6th):[/url]
[QUOTE]• Grifball updated.
Those of you who enjoy getting hammered on a regular basis will now have four new maps to play on. Malice N Envy (paired with Blargball), Temple Prime (paired with Grifball Dash), Inspiration (also paired with Grifball Dash), and Hyperbaric (paired with Hand Egg Grifball) are all being added to the hammer-heavy rotation.
The team of fans behind this playlist didn’t feel like that was enough for March, though, so they also added a new game type. It’s called Hand Egg, and here is what Mike from GrifballHub had to say about it.
Hand Egg is a variation of Grifball where you start with a golf club and sword instead of hammer and sword. In the middle of the court, you'll find the golf ball. The golf ball's significance in the game is that the bomb spawns on it. As soon as you drop the bomb, it goes to wherever the golf ball is. So not only can you bash the golf ball around and get splatters with it, but it can also be used as way to pass the bomb to a teammate. If you see the golf ball in your opponent's spawn and a teammate is nearby, you should drop the bomb so they can grab it and run in the for the score. As you can imagine that means it becomes very important to keep track of where the golf ball is at all times.
Speaking of balls hitting you in the face… actually, never mind. That one is entirely too easy.
• Infection updated.
We modified this playlist with the latest versions of the following fan-created maps: Spooky Base, Powerless, Deadwalk, Bedlam, Uncongealed, and Parasitic. Thank you to the players who have continued to perfect their already incredible creations. We’ll make sure we save some brains for you.
• Evade removed from Spartan loadouts.
With the exception of Grifball, Evade has been removed from Spartan loadouts. Elites can continue to bob, weave, and juke to their hearts’ content, however. Wort wort wort.
• Anniversary Squad retired.
Fret not! See Super Slayer added.
• Squad Slayer retired.
Fret not! See above. And below.
• Super Slayer added.
After analyzing the Team Slayer voting data that took place the first two weeks of February, we were able to draw several instructive conclusions. Most importantly we learned that:
A significant portion of Halo: Reach players enjoy the Title Update settings.
A significant portion of Halo: Reach players enjoy the original Halo: Reach settings.
A significant portion of Halo: Reach players simply enjoy playing Halo: Reach.
To make sure all three groups have a Team Slayer option that fits their preferred way of playing the game, we are adding a new playlist called Super Slayer. Super Slayer is a replica of Team Slayer with the Title Update changes included. Team Slayer will still be available with its original settings intact, and Super Slayer will peacefully coexist with it, happily fulfilling your Slayer-related Title Update needs.
Thank you for all the feedback that allowed us to make this decision. We heart you. More than you know.
• Bleedthrough functionality removed from TU game types.
Speaking of feedback, there has been some spirited (and sometimes not spirited, ahem) discussion on the forums regarding the bleedthrough changes we implemented with the Title Update. One of the best things about the Title Update is that we added virtual knobs to various features, including bleedthrough, allowing us to adjust their settings as necessary.
Our goal is to provide you with an amazing matchmaking experience, so with that in mind, we have listened to your feedback and removed the bleedthrough functionality from Title Update game types.
• Team Hotshot updated.
Players at the highest level heat (3/3) will now catch fire. It won’t look exactly like the above screenshot because that was taken in my dreams. It will look vaguely similar, though.
• Team Objective team size updated to 5v5.
Wham, bam, thank you, Alaskam! Semi-related, his nickname is actually Alaskan, but that didn’t rhyme.
[b]• BTB Heavies added to Big Team Battle.
Heavies, for the uninitiated amongst us, is a game type perfect for those who love vehicular action. Not only are there more Warthogs, Scorpions, Banshees, Falcons, Revenants, and Ghosts than you could ever ask for, but there are also a higher-than-average amount of power and anti-vehicle weapons, just waiting to cause mass destruction.
We have also taken some steps to give foot soldiers a better experience; slight changes to geometry provide more cover, speed has been upped to 110% (which is not a huge difference but it’s enough to make you slightly more resistant to the impending chaos going on around you), and many standard Infantry kills are rewarded with a bonus point.
This game type has a score limit of 200 with bonus points awarded for headshots, beat downs, assassinations, splatters, and sticks.
We hope you love March’s matchmaking playlist update. And if you don’t, we have no doubt you’ll let us know in the forums. And, for the record, we wouldn’t have it any other way.[/b][/QUOTE]

Well, I think they started on this about a year or 2 ago, when they finished their previous iteration of their SP mod. They've probably already done some work on the other maps though.
