Recommended Posts

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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
    • Decentralized search result anonymization...
    • Russia invaded Crimea, so not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that the E.U is like what the USSR was? What is wrong with wanting control over your own country? i bet Trump would not stand by and allow Canada to control the U.S.
