What... Anyway Frank (Stinkles) on NeoGaf answered a question in which he nonchalantly teased at Halo Wars 2. I did a thread on this a while ago, but I don't believe everyone has seen it. I'd have to go dig the post up, but it goes something like this (I don't remember to the letter what was said): Frank do you have anything to share about Halo Wars 2? Not at the moment. Do you really expect me to believe that with the denial of Halo 2: Anniversary? Read what I wrote carefully. Now if you read what he wrote carefully you would see he has nothing to share about Halo Wars 2 at the moment. Confirmation? It's uncertain.

*Late response* Welcome to the forums!

11/3/14: Removed the L4D2 Event.

Minimal 1-2 remakes. Forge remakes can have at it all they want. I don't really have a choice which map I'd want. We need 343i to build iconic original maps that become cornerstones for their MP in the future. As much as I want a remake I'd rather want a new map instead of a rehash.

Well here's the main thread where I post every Event I have planned for the foreseeable future: before I post their own Sign-Up Threads. More information [MUST READ]: Event sorting: Event Banners, Current planned Events, and Event information You're free to reply to this thread however you like. Ideas, concerns, and suggestions are always welcome!

Thanks for joining everyone!

I just got on Halo 4, and suddenly 14 Achievements became unlocked. All of them Castle, Majestic, and Crimson Achievements which I don't believe I met the criteria to unlock in the first place... so: A: I DID meet the criteria and now I'm closer to 2000G B: I DIDN'T meet the criteria and this is just a fix for people who couldn't get the achievements for Crimson, Majestic, or Castle because... well... good luck finding those maps in Matchmaking. Either way I'm pretty ecstatic. Free Gs? Heck yea! lol

Wait... is this a Campaign Event?

Erm... ehhh... I seriously don't know how that could happen... Maybe you did all the things the achievements asked, but they didn't unlock until now? But hey if there's free achievements and all... imma go get on Halo 4 real quick.

There's allloooot of time between now and Halo 5, so maybe the experience will change... like Halo 4 did.

UPDATE: Bravo says that Warlord will NOT have a dynamic element: "No interactive element on Warlord. A few things were experimented with, but nothing stuck, and in the end it was confirmed that a good ol’ fashion match of 4v4 Warlock CTF cures any ailment."

If all the weapons were on the same foot, and none of them were inferior to each other, then It would get boring reeeeeal quick. Each gun has it's own niche, and thrives in it. It's not rocket science that a gun outside of it's comfort zone won't survive (ie Using a Suppressor at long range).

There has been ALLOT of news coming from IGN recently. You should keep a lookout on their site.

H-H-H-H-H-H-H-HOOOORRRNNNNEEEEETTT!!!!!! Good work Axilus!

IGN posted an in-depth look at the Master Chief Collection with a list of "Bonus Facts", one of them a quip on the Halo 2: Anniversary Resolution. Frank O'Connor assured not that long ago that 343i was doing everything it could to get H2A to full 1080p, but was unsure whether or not they could achieve it in time. The new information shows that his worry is now the case. Blur's H2A cinematics look so real, that it's scary (hehe) In the BF (Bonus Fact... there's literally no other way to describe it) 343i Executive Producer Dan Ayoub told IGN: “During development we were really pleased with the way the engine and buffer allowed us to switch instantly between classic and Anniversary engines that are running simultaneously – however that, as you might expect, put a hit on resolution." "The campaign of Halo 2: Anniversary looked fantastic at 720p with the level of detail and clarity it gave us, but like every other aspect of the game and tech, we wanted to push it further. So in the last weeks of development, our teams were able to meet a stretch goal and the campaign of Halo 2: Anniversary now runs 60 fps at a crisp resolution of 1328x1080, which is a significant and meaningful boost in image quality we think fans are really going to appreciate. All of the other games across the entire package of The Master Chief Collection run 60 fps at 1920x1080 native.” So the final resolution for both the H2/H2A Campaign is 1328x1080p, and the rest of MCC runs at 1920x1080p native. Side Note: Dynamic Elements (like the stalactites of Lockdown) can be removed in Forge Before the resolution revelation IGN posted a few facts about The Master Chief Collection that were unknown at this point. Here's the near-full-letter quote of the list: There is no confirmation yet for Pre-Loading the MCC. Halo 3 and Halo 4 make use of the Xbox One controller's impulse triggers out of the box. Halo: CE and Halo 2 may have that functionality added in via a game update shortly after release. The Scorpion tank is in the Coagulation Anniversary remake, but you have to turn it on in Forge. In classic Halo 2 multiplayer, the Ghost's fuel tank could be shot, causing the Ghost to explode. This is also possible in the Halo 2-emulating Xbox One engine that runs the six Anniversary maps. 343i states - "We had to get Havok to recreate aspects of the original physics code used for Halo 2,". Halo: CE Anniversary's Kinect features are not supported in MCC. Halo: CE's multiplayer maps are the PC versions of the maps due to resolution, but their settings, such as spawn points, are set to make them play exactly as the original Xbox versions (i.e. the Banshee won't be on Blood Gulch). - - - - - - - - - - - - Thoughts?
