^ Not a massive fan of the original Colossus, but I'll check it out

Dac, Changed your image to a link, because it was stretching the page out of shape. If you want it to remain a hotlink, please resize it down a bit.

 

[Dac]

Is that better?

 

[LightningStorm]

Much. Thanks

 

[SPCTRE]

So does Master Chief appear in the game at all?

Nope. He is still featured, though, in the form of a "Firefight voice" you can purchase with credits you earn. His is of course the most expensive.

Less credits for me to spend, then. The only Firefight voice I plan on purchasing is that of GYSGT Edward Buck.

"This... is your... 08:00 AM... wake-up call!"



I think I'll also buy the Auntie Dot A.I. voice. May need to get a female Spartan model for that, though.

The more I hear about this game the more I like so I might put it on my list for a Christmas gift . I just need a co-op game though the problem is then having a friend who gets it too.

 

[SPCTRE]

Do you have Xbox Live? If so, I know I'll still be up for online Co-Op come this Christmas

 

[firehawk12]

Co-op matchmaking is going to be like any other playlist. What the heck are they thinking? No wonder they couldn't launch this with the game... I mean, good luck if you want to play a specific map.

^You'll get to it eventually, don't forget that the weekly challenge changes at 5.am

 

[firehawk12]

Yeah, the daily ones yesterday were EASY (none of this get 200 kills stuff) so I happily stayed up to get that achievement.

I can't believe they don't have Master Chief in it. He was at Reach, after all. I was hoping in the final level you play beside him as an invincible NPC or something. Or at least hear about what he's doing on the radio while you're fighting.

The chief is in it. For all of 2 seconds, but he's there, definately :P

Where?

 

[Sephiroth]

i got both firefight ones today in one match

This video explains pretty well.

I'm so very glad he's not in it. The MC is a very cool character, but the Halo universe is too big and too interesting not to tell its stories from different perspectives. That's why I thoroughly enjoyed the novels as well as Halo Wars and ODST.

IMO, a fitting analogy would be the Star Trek universe - not every story that's worth telling has to be about the crew of Enterprise.

Agreed. One of the reasons why I liked ODST so much was because of the lack of Master Chief (and Cortana). I don't really get the appeal, personally.

Dac, downloaded your colossus remake. That's pretty good stuff right there, I especially like what you did with the lift and the upside down one at the top to make you land correctly. Excellent.

 

[Mr Light]

Master Chief is the greatest! He's the selfless messianic figure in the Haloverse. I really loved how the third game showed how magical and inspiring he was to the troops. Also, Cortana's the greatest. The voice, the sense of humor, the corruption by Gravemind. I loved how the third game was practically a love story between Master Chief and Cortana, I actually found it quite touching.

Why thank you

The upside down lift makes you land correctly plus it stops you losing all but one bar of health when you hit the ceiling (Also, If anyone is gonna play a game on that, for the love of god don't use your jetpack while on the lift, you'll end up hitting the ceiling so hard you'll kill yourself ).

 

[PsychoPere]

^ That sounds like personal experience speaking, Dac.

 

[Dac]

What? Me? Of course not.

(Also, cookie to anyone who find the not so secret easter egg on my map )

 

[PsychoPere]

Speaking of personal experiences like that, I found out a couple days ago that ramming a Wraith while driving a Revenant is not a good idea.
