Hey,

Well i figured we kinda need this thread, now more and more information keeps surfacing every day,

we're closing in on the release ... So i thought we needed a proper General Discussion thread :)

Gonna start the thread off, with an Ingame Forge showing! http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/98889.html

So far, all I have to say is that my doubts about the graphics being better than gears (not them being bad) have been thrown out the window with the flood of "leaked" content. I am pretty sure I will be content when I pick this up on the 25th.

Well, gears of war seemed a lot more shiny.

I think GOW was too shiny. Halo 3 has a more realistic feel to the environment in my opinion. But then again, 7 foot spartains are kinda unrealistic to begin with.

Lol, the Gears Of War characters weren't exactly small either. :p

But I get your point. I think it looks ridiculously awesome! I never really expected much from the graphics, I always thought it looked okay. But what I've seen from the single player footage so far, absolutely rocked my socks off.

It really looks a whole lot better than I had ever dreamed of. :p

Now to get enough money to buy myself an Xbox360 in the next month. And Halo 3 ofcourse. :p

Forge imo looks a bit poor, it's looks like it's going to boil down to who can spawn the most weapons and tanks then roll over the opposition.

I'll be more interested in custom games with friends. Still an epic wait till it's released though! :(

looks like you could have some fun custom games on forge though... 2v2, one person is a monitor and one a player. as long as you can trust the other people there could be some really fun rulesets there.

Speaking of the Flood..... I wonder what Bungie has up its sleeves with the parasite of doom death and destruction. I can just picture it now, the entire earth taken over by the Flood and only the MC is left to fend for himself. Btw, he still has a gun.

Well I think Halo 3 looks awsome! Then only thing is that the game play has alot to do with it! I know alot of people say its awsome but we will have to wait and see! The halo3 beta wasn't that diff. then halo2 but like I said we need to wait till i comes in and we all play it!

Anyways I found this cool video of a phantom being shot down in game. Watch here

wow, thats interesting. i hope they make destroyable phantoms in single player, although it could ruin some of the gameplay if you destroy the phantoms (especially if you're glitching off map where they just sit often) before they put down all their troops...

that map also looks quite cool, anyone got any idea which one it is? i haven't kept too up to date on all the halo news recently and evidently missed that one.

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
