[QUOTE=TheDecryptor;36253643]I have a video somewhere, that was released a very long time ago showing the early stages of the game (top down RTS, boats, harpoon gun, etc.) The original armour looked kinda funny too.[/QUOTE]

The video I remember was longer, but that's a big chunk of it.

Two years ago, when I first made Halo Thread V1, I genuinely didn't think it'd last a day. All my other attempts were buried fast.
Imagine my surprise when our now fairly kickass community showed up.

Well, this should be interesting.
I think I was one of the regulars who helped out with the initial surge of this thread back when it was still V1. I showed up and started coming back regularly, and I hadn't even been a real Halo fan/played the Halos at that time.
Finally got a 45 in lone wolves on halo 3, now for the even harder part, getting a 50

I found the copy of the video I was talking about. It's around 7 minutes longer than the video posted before and shows off the early RTS version and some other stuff.

/v/ has the occasional good Halo thread, but only when everyone is occupied by another shitstorm can it pass unnoticed by the idiots.
[QUOTE=O'Neil;36246727]Somewhat but not exactly, guess it looks too much like EVA to really put it in. I hope they have the mark V helmet though and not in a cartoonish way like Halo 3 did. I often liked the look of the mark V armor in Halo wars, looks nice and bulky as it should look.[/QUOTE]
Retardedly large shoulder armor, no thanks.

You were. Most of the people here were, too. You guys da best ;3
Don't get too nostalgic. Halo 4 isn't even out yet.
I wonder if Halo 6 will be the last Halo game
[QUOTE=mac338;36259874]I wonder if Halo 6 will be the last Halo game[/QUOTE]
Didn't they say there will be another two trilogies?
That's like, 6 new games if you include Halo 4, and that's not counting spinoffs
[QUOTE=Agoat;36259815]Don't get too nostalgic. Halo 4 isn't even out yet.[/QUOTE]
Remember the pre-Reach Halo 3 sessions we had? Yeah, that's happening again with 4.

As I remember, there's the Reclaimer Trilogy and rumored to be one other one, though I do remember something behind said by Frank or someone from 343 that hinted towards a 3rd trilogy. Depending on how they play it, it could be great.
I'm a little worried about the sheer quantity of games, though.
I always found ti interesting that Marty O'Donnel, while just being the Music and Sound Effects guy he was really into the game, IIRC the Legendary Video that comes with Reach its a recording of him playing Reach.
I could be wrong.
I personally think Promethean Vision needs a nerf...I just don't know how. If you noticed in those MLG videos, when two people were looking at each other through walls, it became a waiting game to see who ran out first. It slowed down the gameplay, which is the last thing Halo 4 needs.
I suppose I should wait until playing myself, but I just want Halo 4 to be perfect. [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/emoot/saddowns.gif[/img]
We need to play Speed Halo again
Ive noticed that Glasslands is missing from the novels list in the OP, and I also noticed I think that was the first time ive looked at the OP for over a year.

Those were the days, ill get those organised again when Halo 4 comes out, I think we didn't do it much on Reach because the maps people made weren't as creative or fun because the way custom games was limited.

Rat kingdom was the best mode, shame choppers weren't in reach, even in forge.
So much fun.
I suppose the one I made to replace it was good though, I forgot its name though...
It involved pillars and ghosts though.
Oh goodie, a plethora of new posts from David Ellis, once again shamelessly stolen from GAF for your convenience.
Regarding Promethean Vision:
[QUOTE=lybertyboy]It's funny. On the rare occasions when I use PV during play tests (thrusters for life!) I find myself moving through the levels much faster. Moving constantly and quickly allows me to maximize the situational awareness advantage. I suspect the pros will use it differently once they have more than 7-8 games under their belt.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=lybertyboy]It's definitely a YMMV sort of ability. It's super useful against players that don't use radar. If you're going against quality competition the delta of effectiveness (in my experience) shrinks.[/QUOTE]
Grenade impact damage:
[QUOTE=lybertyboy]Last time I checked, it was in. [/QUOTE]
Bumper Jumper's sucky control layout:
[QUOTE=lybertyboy]That was actually something I was excited to get feedback from players on during E3.
We had people in the office gathering the mountains of feedback. While not every thing mentioned will be changed, we take these things very seriously.[/QUOTE]
New multiplayer team names and silly text in the middle of the screen:
[QUOTE=lybertyboy]There's definitely a reason the teams have names, but if I spilled all the beans about that right now, Frank might deliver a vicious Scottish roundhouse to me when I get back to the office.
Ragarding center text pop-ups I honestly don't even notice them 90% of the time when playing matches. I think it's something that's much more magnified when watch someone else play the game. Remember we've saida big component of your player experience in Hal 4 is customization so take that however you want.[/QUOTE]
Flag juggling and Banshee bombing runs:
[QUOTE=lybertyboy]We'll have more info on CTFin Halo 4 in the near future.
The banshee has received a lot of love from our vehicle designers and has definitely been altered from Halo: Reach.[/QUOTE]
GUNS
[QUOTE=lybertyboy]Covie carbine and Storm Rifle (formerly assault carbine)are currently god-tier.
Our amazing sandbox designers are definitely tweaking the balance based on how people are actuall yusing weapons, not just how they say they use them. :)
Would love to do a piece on Cortana Web sometime. Its truly an amazing system.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=lybertyboy]There are lots of new weapons we haven't shown yet. One of the weapons designers was showing me one in particular before I came down for E3 and I can say you've never seen anything quite like this one in Halo before. Awesome stuff. [/QUOTE]
VEHICLES
[QUOTE=lybertyboy]There have been changes made to vehicle health from Reach, but can't really go into specifics at the moment.[/QUOTE]
Different ways to play through Spartan Ops missions:
[QUOTE=lybertyboy]Yes.[/QUOTE]
Also,
[QUOTE=lybertyboy]It's playable with any combination of 1-4 players.[/QUOTE]
Bonus!
[QUOTE=lybertyboy]My favorite Halo 4 mutiplay moment So far involved me tracking someone down sun ramp on Haven, jumping down to bottom level, pivoting 180 degrees during the fall then thruster packing toward him and assassination all in one fluid motion. In that moment, I was mostdefintielya Spartan.[/QUOTE]

Oh boy, this will end well.
Anyway, why does every variant of bone yard that's not invasion only use the one side? It just turns into a shooting gallery thanks to the DMR. Seriously, I can quite happily sit at either 'base' and shoot at the other team, its bogus.
[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;36237913][img]http://i.minus.com/iS5Lf9ReNoENS.jpeg[/img][/QUOTE]
That looks so fucking ridiculous.
So I finally sharpened up both my 3 and Reach skills so that I'm proficient in both. my body is ready for Halo 4.
Covie Carbine > BR or even DMR.
Holds way more effective shots than BR, makes you inhale radioactive dust when reloading, great crosshair.

This opened my eyes, now I have really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like.
Thanks man!
I was thinking that it could be a good hole in the Chief's emotional armour if he slipped up at some point and referred to Cortana as 'Doctor', or something (seeing as how Cortana is based off of Halsey and sounds the same as her) during Halo 4. Could be a simple, next to no explanation needed, one sentence line that turns Cortana back from a psychotic, rampant AI to her old self by reminding her of her relation with the Chief, the SPARTANS, who she is, etc, etc.
[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;36268379]GUNS[/QUOTE]
So the Assault carbine was the Storm Rifle? Fuck! I was hoping for an MA5K.
