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

[t]http://i.imgur.com/DZOsGRd.jpg[/t] Looks like a mini-reaper [editline]10th June 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=AbbaDee;50490957]There's an Elite driving a Ghost in the last image, I think.[/QUOTE] Huh you're right. And they're wearing Pre-Halo 4 armour. Still, most of the enemies still appear to be brutes.

people are already downloading the HW2 beta apparently [img]http://i.imgur.com/DO27SHZ.png[/img]

Probably a preload [editline]10th June 2016[/editline] Might be one of those things, if you see it on someone else 'played list' you can hit download

[QUOTE=AbbaDee;50490847]Eh, not a big fan of the cartoon look, but it's okay I guess.[/QUOTE] You gotta be able to see what's going on, look at any other rts.

That reaper thing is probably some new kind of scarab being dropped in.

I'm going to look for how exactly they found a way to download it. But it is most likely VMC.

[QUOTE=Bokito;50490912]While the human stuff looks pretty ok, it seems that they're using the 343 version of the Covenant artstyle, which is pretty terrible.[/QUOTE] I'm glad the human stuff is like that at least, what 343 did the the UNSC art style completely ruined it and none of their stuff fits in at all. Same with the Forerunner designs, but based on those screenshots it might be the 343 version of Forerunner, unfortunately.

[QUOTE=nightlord;50492301]I'm glad the human stuff is like that at least[/QUOTE] Except the Warthog [editline]10th June 2016[/editline] Looking at that poster or whatever, the Assault rifle looks like the Reach Variant with a different Ammo counter. The BR is Halo 2.

[QUOTE=no1dead;50492203]I'm going to look for how exactly they found a way to download it. But it is most likely VMC.[/QUOTE] It's not.

The Halo youtube channel just uploaded all the Story recap videos for Halo Wars 1 [url]https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn5QvCoiY3w6IrPhTgsbR-qOdfQXdGvqB[/url] I think they're the same ones they used to have on Halo Waypoint.

[QUOTE=Makol;50492520]It's not.[/QUOTE] Eh close to hundred percent sure I know how its done now.

[QUOTE=no1dead;50492723]Eh close to hundred percent sure I know how its done now.[/QUOTE] If it was my inbox would be on fire right now. [editline]10th June 2016[/editline] That image would be considered a leak.

And before we go, there's one more little thing, and it might be a bit hard to find, so we're glad we got a chance to tell you all. We added <REDACTED: ONI CLASSIFIED INFORMATION> which we're all pretty happy about. Let us know what you think of it![/QUOTE] I think they're referring to Warzone variants, because in the first image he's holding a didacts signet? or the other scattershot, but it's def not a normal scattershot "Halo Wars 2 will be playable on the E3 show floor, on both Xbox One and PC" so pc beta semi-confirmed? And another forge clue... [IMG]https://content.halocdn.com/media/Default/BlogPost/community-update/june_teaser_02-6dff9df09ad14d3c93ea911cb2dc7eaf.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=343N;50494237][url]https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/all-units[/url] CAMPAIGN SCORE ATTACK[/QUOTE] okay, but here's the question that'll make or break their "new campaign mode" will you get req points/xp for playing it or not because otherwise, as fun as it is, it's not gonna live long without it. people aren't going to play campaign over and over for fun if the game treats it as a waste of time compared to just playing multiplayer.

[QUOTE=TwoYearLurker;50494441]okay, but here's the question that'll make or break their "new campaign mode" will you get req points/xp for playing it or not because otherwise, as fun as it is, it's not gonna live long without it. people aren't going to play campaign over and over for fun if the game treats it as a waste of time compared to just playing multiplayer.[/QUOTE] There should be campaign commendations too like Reach

I'd replay a mission or two for the new achievements.

[QUOTE=Makol;50494371][t]https://content.halocdn.com/media/Default/BlogPost/community-update/cusdccfiguretease-6d2ac0904836468c8b5559b780a56571.png[/t] This figure looks much better than the early images hey showed a few months ago.[/QUOTE] Why does it look like elite armour?

Have you not been paying attention to Halo 5 at all? That armor has been a thing since the 2014 beta. [editline]10th June 2016[/editline] But as to why it looks like Elite armor, I'm not sure. I don't pay much attention to the lore of Halo. I just play the multiplayer/arena.

[QUOTE=Zeos;50494684]Why does it look like elite armour?[/QUOTE] It's supposed to

[QUOTE=Zeos;50494684]Why does it look like elite armour?[/QUOTE] It's modeled after Keith David's armor because he's such a huge badass

[QUOTE=Zeos;50494684]Why does it look like elite armour?[/QUOTE] [img_thumb]http://www.halopedia.org/images/b/b9/H5G-helioskrill-bloodgorger.png[/img_thumb] Helioskrill armor. It was designed by a Sangheilli prodigy to challenge humanity's tech capabilities. That's why it looks like Elite armor.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/KhcgcXt.png[/t] do YOU know where his head went? oh man i'd love to see cinematics with a chief like this [t]http://i.imgur.com/VfldtFo.png[/t] [editline]11th June 2016[/editline] oh man halo modding just got better for me flipped the factions of metropolis, heh, now the covenant take the humans scarab [t]http://i.imgur.com/pk7jAhe.jpg[/t]

video or it didn't happen. Is it possible to have marines and elites vs the Covenant on these earlier levels?

Are you have to replace the vehicles to their Cov counter part? Although, on second thoughts. Scorpion Tanks are better off on your side.

[QUOTE=death2sarge;50495865]video or it didn't happen. Is it possible to have marines and elites vs the Covenant on these earlier levels?[/QUOTE] yes. wait, marines + elites vs covy or marines and elites vs elites (and rest of covey)? idk how to do the former (yet?) [editline]11th June 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Highwind017;50495890]Are you have to replace the vehicles to their Cov counter part? Although, on second thoughts. Scorpion Tanks are better off on your side.[/QUOTE] and yeah i swapped phantoms with pelicans, scorpions with thingo and vice versa. the cutscene with johnson jumping off the pelican was fucked and uh, the two tanks coming out the tunnel after the bridge fucking murder you but yeah. also i'd love a video but 70kb/s upload :((

Marines + elites vs all of covy (including elites) So at the beginning of Metropolis your allies are made up of two marines and a friendly elite.

nope. not in an easy way as far as i know, but i've only just discovered what the hell i'm doing and now i really want to mod Reach and 3 but i need an RGH (or a PC port). i can turn shipmaster into tartarus tho and he'll fuck shit up on the great journey though so i guess that's cool (he'll actually hijack ghosts and shit too) [t]https://i.imgur.com/BeZZPsl.jpg[/t] i can also play as tartarus with that sick weapon and it does damage and stuff but the effects/animations don't play for me :( i'm an amateur changed brutes to spawn as arbiters, one of them is an armorless variant :| [t]http://i.imgur.com/NPo3HPo.png[/t] you never really notice how majestic those seagulls are [t]http://i.imgur.com/d42xveo.png[/t]

I wish Halo 2 had a Dev console like CE does.
