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.

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've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
