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

In hindsight the bright football armor and new boosting abilities fit something such as Grifball like a glove.

Now that I think of it, have Rooster Teeth done any sponsored Halo 5 videos? For 3, Reach and 4 they did promo videos using the RvB characters, but I don't remember anything for 5. [editline]23rd February 2016[/editline] Halo 4 one was done early in the year, they still had the Halo Reach shotgun model. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t060JHOI2k[/media]

Is that the classic pistol? [editline]23rd February 2016[/editline] According to Reddit players spin on headshots [editline]23rd February 2016[/editline] [T]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cb8Dlk-UYAA957O.jpg:large[/T]

[QUOTE=Makol;49801708][T]https://i.gyazo.com/c889148d80724f753d4d82723fcab654.gif[/T][/QUOTE] it looks like they went as far to bring back the spinning melee animation from halo 1. that's cool.

Yep, just got done with the livestream. Oddball, Grifball, and Ricochet are now confirmed to be Assault variants. The new map is set on a spinning space station and features more open areas than other built-in maps. Classic Magnum performs like CE Magnum and headshots makes the victim spin ala Halo CE. Magnum loadout variant(s). (If I recall correctly, one features a higher ammo count.) They did not talk about the new color menus, which was honestly the part I was excited to see. No mention of Infection. I believe they mentioned that Fiesta is not a Slayer variation, it is it's own mode with its own custom settings. Teaser for next update seemed to feature a new warzone map set in a desert(?), a new Suppressor variant, and a Gauss(?) Mantis.

The blurred card for the CE Magnum looks nothing like it. Obviously done on purpose

The blurred card actually looked like a 343-era grunt.

Kind of looks like a suicide grunt if you squint hard enough

[QUOTE=Tuskin;49802044]Kind of looks like a suicide grunt if you squint hard enough[/QUOTE] Exactly my thoughts.

In an episode of The Sprint, they confirmed the H1 pistol. the 3D designer went on to explain the model That is not a new model, Reach, or 3. That is the [I]original 2001 Bungie pistol[/I] [video=youtube;jvx6owcri7s]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvx6owcri7s[/video]

Not the same texture [editline]23rd February 2016[/editline] At least it doesn't look like it based on the pictures I can find from the original game

snip- maybe I'm wrong

Pistol Gameplay [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGprDeRTAgA[/media] [editline]23rd February 2016[/editline] I think I was wrong, it is the original texture.

Oh my god yes

Huh, position looks just fine to me. But that's just me.

Good god the pistol looks like if you were playing Halo PC with integrated graphics.

As much as I loved using that thing in CE, I'm seeing this as a cheap shot for fan support.

And the SPNKr and H2 BR weren't?

I'd rather like to see them bring some cut weapons from Halo 99 and/or bring back the flamethrower and call it a day.

Does anyone know what the best time to buy an Xbox One would be? I don't have time for many in depth games anymore and Halo would be a could small time killer. Also, it looks amazing.

There is no real "best time" to buy a Xbone. But if you want you might as well wait until E3 and see a new model or bundle is announced that interests you. If you need one now or fairly soon GameStop has a decent promo going on until Friday. Buy a 500gb Gears Of War bundle and get either Rise of the Tomb Raider, Rare Replay, or Forza 6 for free. Bundled game and and bonus game are digital. And on top of that you get a $50 GameStop gift card, which you can use in a separate purchase to get Halo 5.
