The Halo Thread V12: The Last Thread Turned Into A Bridge - Games

Why in the hell did it take this long for a file browser to be released that isn't even ingame in the end? I mean I don't have Halo 5 but that seems pretty retarded

Made a sword duel map, tested it with a friend [vid]http://s1.webmshare.com/NM0AW.webm[/vid] [vid]http://s1.webmshare.com/44Na6.webm[/vid]

[QUOTE=Bokito;50180022]Why in the hell did it take this long for a file browser to be released that isn't even ingame in the end? I mean I don't have Halo 5 but that seems pretty retarded[/QUOTE] Design issues. There's a lot of stuff in Halo 5 that got left on the cutting room floor. There was at one point a weapons-down mission on Infinity, and double-jump boosts were a planned Spartan ability that got cut early on because the maps would need to be reworked for it. IIRC Halo 4 didn't have a file browser, so it definitely wasn't a priority for Halo 5's launch (especially with Forge not coming until December) and they just haven't had the time to implement it until now, Ghosts of Meridian had to be "delayed" and Memories of Reach is mostly the art team.

The 2 live action ads for Halo 5 'All Hail' and 'The Cost' have been removed from the Xbox YouTube channel. They were the most viewed videos on the channel.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50184460]The 2 live action ads for Halo 5 'All Hail' and 'The Cost' have been removed from the Xbox YouTube channel. They were the most viewed videos on the channel.[/QUOTE] Maybe cause they had nothing to do with the actual plot of Halo 5? Seems strange to removed them regardless.

ive always wondered just what the flying fuck happened to all that crazy marketing they did for chief vs locke. literally none of it had any relevance to the story whatsoever; they hyped up all this chief and locke shit and then [sp]they met like 2 or 3 times during the entire game, and had a shitty fist fight which was about the most they ever did[/sp]

I still want to think there was something in the original plot line that some higher-up ended up vetoing and forcing a revision of. But the marketing couldn't change in time so in the end Downfall, Hunt for Truth and the two-sided teaser lead into absolutely nothing.

I finished making some high-res versions of a bunch of the signs found in New Mombasa. [media]http://imgur.com/a/6s7vV[/media]

I dig so much fictitious signage and advertising in video games.

Just occurred to me that Halo 5 isn't rated M, and alot less dark then originally intended to be. Stupid development timelines.

It isn't related M because of the Lack of Flood. Though that doesn't explain Halo Reach.

Halo Reach probably just because of how bloody and brutal it was. Had civilians getting killed,[sp] One of Noble Team visibly shot through the head, Carter covered in blood at the end[/sp], the amount of blood from the covenant, etc.

There is that

Yeah Reach was really grim. It wasn't fun an colourful like other titles, it was bleak, dark and pretty gruesome at times.

Marketing was different from the actual game because of the company they had do it had little to no interaction with 343I? is what I sorta remember.

[QUOTE=usaokay;50188701]I assume they wanted to focus on that rather than [sp]Cortana coming back.[/sp] They could have done this whole "stopping the Guardians from destroying stuff" schtick, but I guess hunting the Chief down was more exciting.[/QUOTE] False advertising is STILL false advertising though.

[QUOTE=bradleigh;50186249]can you do the destiny one?[/QUOTE] Yeah, I'll do it on Monday. Someone else requested the same one, looks like quite a few people wanted that.

Hunt the truth is super disgusting and not representative of the game at all, even remotely.

[QUOTE=Zeos;50190266]Hunt the truth is super disgusting and not representative of the game at all, even remotely.[/QUOTE] I was really curious and interested to see how it would play out, and then IT DIDN'T. Like, come the fuck on.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;50190355]I was really curious and interested to see how it would play out, and then IT DIDN'T. Like, come the fuck on.[/QUOTE] They should tie the material into future content, EU or otherwise.

[QUOTE=Zeos;50190266]Hunt the truth is super disgusting and not representative of the game at all, even remotely.[/QUOTE] It's sad because hunt the truth is some of the best story material from 343 halo yet, and it didn't even amount to anything.

Not legit, but would be epic. [t]https://i.imgur.com/N5XE8KI.jpg[/t] [editline]24th April 2016[/editline] Haha i'm dying, reddit bots are hilarious. [IMG]http://puu.sh/ou1pL/7e67d0a455.png[/IMG]

Been playing Halo 2 Vista "Online", works near perfectly. [URL="https://github.com/FishPhd/H2V-Online-Launcher/releases"](Fish' Launcher) [/URL] There seems to always be at least 6 people playing during the UK timezone. Give it a try. And here is why you can tell its been 10 years since I played Halo 2 Online. (In 60 FPS Goodness) [media]https://youtu.be/k_jlum-Sf6w[/media]
