@NocontextRvB I knew someone would bite on this

Nobody plays games at quarter speed, sure

However people notice things at normal speed that seem off and slow it down to see the trickery at work

Sometimes the trickery pays off, others times the trickery is sloppy and falls apart like here

@revenant_MMXX Don’t forget about having “➡️Halo Fest” in their name with a blue checkmark and “content creator” in their bio.

@DrtLmbrt @derelictcountry On the other side of that coin it shows that Microsoft didn’t care about the bangers Bungie was pushing out because nothing was going to stop them from ruining their billion dollar franchise with their “New York Time’s Nest Seller” narrative design for the next 15 years anyway.

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@ConstantinidisA Been seeing a lot of positive discussion coming from blue checkmark “➡️ Halo Fest” “content creators”.

Did you have your pass, flight and hotel booked before or after Microsoft contacted you about the event?

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@ThelVanDamne Could it be that it was done in a way that improves upon the original version while keeping the spirit of the original vision intact?

Halo fans *with low standards* are the problem.

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@o_sneedy What would be better?

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@Hoplite_Ind Might be a gamer meme, but I think an open circle would be great/fun for a shotgun

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@UVG_Viral Did Halo Follower animate this?

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@Xero_Reality Yes yes, keep that Soylent IV flowing

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@Taco_the_Train All of Blizzard’s cinematics were good

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@NomadicAllo It’s not even jumping though, it’s no different than the swap cover mechanic in the other games, just on an elevated plane.

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@AmberClad2552 *shills will pretend to be confused why you don’t like it, making discourse impossible

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@logorn_gadum The irony that is Halo Studios doing exactly this for CE, 2 and 3 like it’s Microsoft’s New Supe for the sake of cohesion within the franchise.

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@ODST_Schizo Perfect is the enemy of good.

However this isn’t even good.

I’m glad you like your ADHD fingerpainting, smoke and mirror, sparkly effects showcase that your console and rig won’t be able to run, but I want Halo. And this isn’t Halo.

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@TrippIRL Not you defending Cortana-splaining like she’d always held the player’s hand in this manner of a death grip.

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@TheLocus343 I used to obsess about getting a weapons sandbox on par with a CoD game, then I grew up and realized why we don’t necessarily need filler weapons or enemies for the sake of world building.

The rest of the additions kinda follow suit, save for the modifiers.

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@nom2609 Won’t even lie, this looks more playable than the 3 white monsters deep, effect saturated, ADHD finger paint, JJ Abrams lens flare, “wasn’t spanked and it shows” clusterfuck that the first person view looks like.

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@NilesSankey @32nds That’s totally ok, I’m always looking to expand my “legacy Bungie” knowledge and you and Jaime are an oasis in the desert. Could you suggest to who would be an apropos dev to pose the question to?

[William Toenges @ShoesOfToenges]

@32nds @NilesSankey

Would you guys or anybody else be able articulate why the original successive kill medals had the specific colorways they did at the intervals they appeared at?

The originals are nostalgic, but it’s easy to see what 343 was going for with the heat colors.

[Solgob @solgob_]

PLEASE. Need the old colorways back for the next multiplayer. Just another thing that made Halo feel less like Halo for no reason.
The new ones looks so bad. Color is good.
