That sure is Epic. Looks like my Gow3 beta tester wallpaper is going bye bye

I was playing Firefight today and I've noticed something. My teammates were trying to troll me but I was immune to their attacks no matter how many times they shot me. WTF? Teammates can kill eachother in everything but Firefight? Bungie must think it's funny allowing only one mode to not have betrayals while the majority of players have to suffer in team slayer, CTF, Assault, etc.. 343 Industries better make all the multiplayer modes troll-proof in Halo 4 if they know what's good for them.

1. Yeah, Reach thread, obviously. Ya got the link though, thanks Ridley.

2. Friendly fire can be turned on or off on firefight, prolly why you were immune.

3. Tentacles.

1. Right. I'm clearly not bringing up Reach just to point out some things that need improving for the next Halo at all 🙄

2. Which is something Ridley already told me since yesterday.

1. What does your girlfriend have to do with this?

2. Okay then.

3. I think Halo 4 looks interesting. I have been hoping for this game to happen eversince I saw Halo 3's legendary ending after all.

What was Halo 3'd legendary ending?

I'm sure it must be up on youtube somewhere.

Ah, alrightty, thanks. Was expecting just a quick explanation but that vid more than works. I was really looking forward to basically getting it done, but that's not gonna happen though, I don't know if it's my 360 shittin' out on me or what, but both my Halo 3 and ODST games won't load the campaign on either disc.

Every time I see that ending I choke up. People who say Halo doesn't have a good story can kiss my ass, Bungie's grade A at that shit.

Don't know about grade A, but I guess they sure can excel at it when they want to.

Halo 4 To Be the First Part in the 'Reclaimer Trilogy'

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-9410-Halo-4-To-Be-the-First-Part-in-the--Reclaimer-Trilogy-.html

The Halo Nation wiki explains that a Reclaimer is "an individual who, whether by chance or by precedent, has been placed in charge of activating a Halo super-weapon... It has also been demonstrated that it is the role of a Reclaimer to activate Forerunner technology on installations such as The Ark or the Shield Worlds; it is also true that other, undiscovered Forerunner constructs also require a Reclaimer to operate in some fashion lay scattered across the galaxy. The exact qualifications of a Reclaimer are not entirely clear; however, it appears that only a human or Forerunner can be a Reclaime

Sigh. Yeah, admittedly I'm feeling a little bit of hype. I thought that after the disappointment that Reach and ODST were, I'd be cool on Halo forever. But, the Master Chief will always have a place in my heart.

👆

3 things that I like:

#1 They are aiming to mke the campaign more cinematic. I wonder what they mean by that. Will they be including CG cutscenes this time? Will they be using scripted events ala CoD? I liked the scene where the Chief used his strength to open a door. I hope we can now get actual feats in the games.

#2 Looks like they will be traying to get back the competitive fanbase with the return of the Battle Rifle and Developing maps solely for multiplayer.

#3 Spartan 4s look great.

I gotta say the game looks promising. It'd be great if they'd also tell us who the enemies are.

Fact sheet

So the Covenant are back but they're the least of our worries? Either they're hinting the Flood (somewhere in the world, Zack Fair is probably cursing) or there'll be a completely new enemy or both. Hopefully we get some new enemies.

This kind of reminds me now of how the Space Pirates in Metroid are usually always brought back, even if they're not always the main focus. That said, I don't mind seeing some Covenant again. If anything I guess they're too iconic to stop being in the series altogether. Personally I'd miss hearing the funny Grunt yells and such after awhile if there were no Covenant at all.

The Flood returning would be more nonsensical though, not to mention it would shit all over Halo 3's ending. It's most likely gotta be new enemies. If not, then 343's officially a lot less creative than Bungie. Anyway, still lovin' the improved cinematics so far.

From what I gather, it will be similar to Starcraft 2's major enemy:

Originally, it is the Zerg. Then the Protoss. But then we realize that it is an enemy that is greater than the Zerg and the Protoss pulling the strings like the Reapers from Mass Effect.

For Halo...originally, it is the Covenant. Then it is the Flood. Now it is an enemy that is greater than the Flood.

Anyone picking up a pattern here? I am. Triple threats of ascension.
