By CRIMSONxSERAPH Go To PostMan I'm stoked for this. Did you guys notice they also removed the sports-team interation between the Spartans in the ending animation? I wasn't majorly offended by the old one or anything, but I like this better, for sure!So much better.
Friendly fire is on. I can't remember if it was off for the beta or not. Player was stuck by teammates in both the Fathom and Empire videos and died.
Are overshields something you can hang on to and activate at will or is that just the pickup animation? I'm assuming camouflage works similarly.
Radar will be covered for the players during the invitational. https://twitter.com/HCS/status/629245797679374338

By Lord of Admirals Go To PostSuch a simple thing to be up in arms about. I wish they did a bit more than just slightly move towards the camera at the end though.They are probably working on the balance after this build. Bro celebrations on a slider depending on focus group recommendations.
That's really, really strange that they're physically covering the radar for the tournament. The game is this close to launch and they don't have a means of toggling it in a recent build?
Even placing a blur over it should be a very trivial post-process task. Hell, I'm surprised that the dev systems don't have something at the OS-level for rendering overlays.
Odd.

By dwells Go To PostThat's really, really strange that they're physically covering the radar for the tournament.

It is at least two months old because I would say it is the E3 build, but I could be wrong.

By Hypertrooper Go To PostIf I am allowed to speculate, this is not a 'recent' build. It is at least two months old because I would say it is the E3 build, but I could be wrong.Hey, my post is all speculation too so your speculation is as good as any.
Even if it is a couple months old it still seems kind of weird that a core gametype mechanic like that is missing/broken and they didn't patch it at all prior to the tournament. Obviously that's a good deal of time and effort, but it seems like that would be worth it as opposed to the kind of negative impression people might get seeing post-it notes stuck over TV screens and black boxes covering up the live streams. That type of thing doesn't exactly instill confidence, whether or not it's something that actually needs to be worried about.
By JayEleven Go To PostAre overshields something you can hang on to and activate at will or is that just the pickup animation? I'm assuming camouflage works similarly.
As far as I've seen and heard: that's just the pickup animation. You can't carry it around and activate at will. You must activate while standing over the powerup, or nothing will happen
By thornXBL Go To PostAs far as I've seen and heard: that's just the pickup animation. You can't carry it around and activate at will. You must activate while standing over the powerup, or nothing will happen
Huh. I'm wondering what the thinking was behind that rather that just letting you walk over it to activate like it used to be. I guess timing the pickup more precisely might matter to some players in some situations.
By JayEleven Go To PostHuh. I'm wondering what the thinking was behind that rather that just letting you walk over it to activate like it used to be. I guess timing the pickup more precisely might matter to some players in some situations.You can walk over it and leave it for your following teammate to activate.
By dwells Go To PostHey, my post is all speculation too so your speculation is as good as any.One would think that with the focus on esports, these options would be already baked into the game. Also we still won't have a big team gametype until months after launch.

Probably an older build and custom options have come in later. I wonder if they're still using some version of the previous scripting tools for gametypes or if they started over with that.
I imagine the stream will have radars covered by player cams or something, and not a black box. It should look fine to viewers.
Halo 5 twice as long as Halo 4, get hyped.

I wonder if they're still using some version of the previous scripting tools for gametypes or if they started over with that.Sure, but it's hard to trust the whole "old build" thing aftet the number of times we heard that with MCC. Deathbine was supposed to be an already-fixed "old build" bug when it was pointed out pre-release, but it's still there...
*Game crashes after every game at PAX while I'm there
"It's an old build don't worry"
*Game crashes and has issues at launch
"We didn't see this happen internally"

OT but why haven't they made a classic monster movie fighting game yet? I'd pay an arm and leg just for someone to make something like that. I mean, why wouldn't you want to play as Dracula or Frankenstein going up against Dr. Jekyll or Invisible Man?
They could have stages from the movied, like the Paris Opera House from Phantom of the Opera or Notre Dame from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Call the main fighting mode "Graveyard Smash" and the game could be called "Monster Mash". Each character could have unique remarks about who they're fighting against, especially if they're fighting against different versions of the same character (like Boris Karloff's Dracula against Christopher Lee's Dracula). Unlockable characters could be villains like Creature from the Black Lagoon or even Abbot and Costello

I don't know which PAX you're referring to but in one of the more recent Sprint videos they talked about how they fixed 700 bugs in a couple weeks.
I know Frankie isn't making rtx because of flight issues but is 343 supposed to still be there? Are there panels at rtx?
No, 343 will not be at RTX. They have a big presence at Gamescom and they can't be in 2 places at once, so it's Gamescom and not RTX this year.

One would think 343 would want to release at least one gameplay that showcases their game's new hotness instead of just press people recording a hot mess of "hurr durr what am I doing?"
