Liked the ViDoc. I think people are misunderstanding 343's reasons for talking about the challenges of Halo 4. I didn't get a sense of arrogance from them at all.
They're in an awkward place right now where they need to release hype videos even though the last original game they made was a tangle of conflicting decisions and the last game with their name on it just recently became playable on the MP side.
The Halo 4 talk was a reframe of Halo 5 as the game that all the "core" 343 people have been in place for 100%. The people that started the studio, the people who brought us the turbo update, the pros, etc. Whether or not you decide to buy into that line is another story, but they certainly aren't being arrogant. I think "Nothing is a sure thing" was even stated at some point. I can't be sure, my mind is still reeling from the fact that the Hunter gif is one bikini bottom away from being the hot dog cannon gif in reverse.

By Gnome Scat Go To PostHe's the one who posted that fan fiction thing, right?
GULP, I've never read anything quite like that before ...
Yea Ghal is a good guy. Always has been. That's why I was glad to see him made a mod. He kind of deserved it. He was one of the few who would try and guide us back on topic at times. He didn't always succeed but he damn well tried.
By SgtOra Go To PostBucks pistol is called the 5-7 or something like that. It's the legendary pistol.I'm pretty sure 5-7 is a joke, because that is the real life pistol it looks like.

Unless 343i said it's 5-7 somewhere.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostIs it confirmed as the legendary Pistol? I haven't watched the vidoc yet.
I actually don't know. Just saw a few people say it was so I assumed. Seems likely imo

Please can we agree to call ourselves Slampersand? PLEASE LET ME HAVE THIS.

I was wondering if Buck was holding a variant that performs like the H3:ODST pistol or something, perhaps
By Wesleyshark Go To PostYou mean the Megablok reveal?
https://youtu.be/tcsqpYcQYhY
That's cool. Haven't seen that one. Reminds me of Silent Cartographer.
Also, need to have the quote stick out more when you're quoted, looks like any other quote right now. Green hilight would be ideal.
By SgtOra Go To PostI actually don't know. Just saw a few people say it was so I assumed. Seems likely imoIt looks cool at least.
Thought this was interesting. The multiple friendly tags caught my eye so I rewound it a bit and saw that they're Elites. We know that Locke will be running around at least a little with the Arbiter but it's cool to see it this far ahead of release.
By Bregmann Roche Go To Postmy mind is still reeling from the fact that the Hunter gif is one bikini bottom away from being the hot dog cannon gif in reverse.Omg.
By Granadier Go To PostI don't function well in gaming side threads. They make my blood boil.Same. I can't help but argue with dumbasses.

Orders are completely optional.
Your teammates are autonomous and self-sufficient. Orders allow you to have more precise control over their actions to increase (or decrease if you're reckless) their effectiveness in battle.
Balancing the difficulty and encounters throughout the campaign has been one of the bigger creative challenges on this game, but it's in a really good place now.

Mistakes happen. I was just super taken aback by your response to madness. I was like either he misread, or he is missing the point completely and I'll try to help lol

Think of it as a compulsive need to help people be less stupid :p
By Lord of Admirals Go To PostA well spoken argument =)You make some good points which I would love to address later as my brain is operating on fumes.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostBack and forth over how halo 5 isn't 1080p and looks like a 360 game. Same old gaming side shenanigans from the same handful of drive-bys.
By jem0208 Go To PostThat and resolution talk.Ah so same ol' same ol' eh? Thanks for saving me 14 pages of reading.
By SgtOra Go To PostMistakes happen. I was just super taken aback by your response to madness. I was like either he misread, or he is missing the point completely and I'll try to help lolYeah, I'm glad you responded so I could reread and fix that. My first reaction was completely wrong.

There will be a season two of #HUNTtheTRUTH coming in September.. Not what we expect.. Runs through launch.. ONI evil.
By Granadier Go To PostYeah, I'm glad you responded so I could reread and fix that. My first reaction was completely wrong.Give in to your (selflessly generous) compulsion to spread hot blooded truth bombs! jk

Just barely read the last 2 pages. Shits Cray in there. It's definitely good to step back, take a breather, and examine what you're doing. Otherwise you'd go mad.

No problemo!
By thornXBL Go To PostNSA with the goods:Awesome! Surprised they can turn around and produce a second season, seems like a lot of voice work.
By daedalius Go To PostOh shit season 2 of Hunt the Troof!
I hope Key(Ben) shows up in some capacity. He is a great VA
Yup. I look forward to it. The first HTT was actually pretty good.
I don't know if anyone pointed this out yet but it looks like friendly Elites/Arbiter's Elites are designated by Red and will appear in both missions on Sanghelios. Also, the Elite that was walking with Lasky was Red, so it looks like their role in the game in the story will extend past those missions. And since Lasky captain's Infinity, that probably means Osiris will be aboard Infinity while tracking/hunting down Blue Team. Palmer's probably on there, too seeing how she is the commentator for Warzone (which is a part of War Games, right?) and is usually on Infinity with Lasky commanding/training the Spartan-IV's.
I wonder how Lasky will react if ONI pulls the killswitch on Chief seeing how they seem to be bros.

I am not really digging the aesthetic for the animated series. I was hoping for something different. I hope it turns out well and brings the book alive though.

The Slaentnation has already begun. And we are hopeless to stop it.
Also dat vidoc though. 343 should re-release the beta but feature Warzone for further feedback.
