I for sure am. I know alot of people were disappointed by the graphics but that gameplay demo gave me goosebumps. I am so thirsty for more information. I know 343 has so much more to talk about. I think forge will be huge this time especially with it being on pc it cant be some basic console map creator needs to be very feature rich to be accepted by pc players

For those of you interested to discuss about it.
I like his excitement and agree that a 10-year plan has great potential. But I have yet to see a game who pulled that off succesfully. Of course I am rooting for 343i to get that done. Would be cool to see a 90+ Metacritic when it launches. He has a point when he says we need a running start.
Yea he does we cannot have a barebones launch like halo 5
Same as you I donāt know if they will be able to pull it off. They better have a really big start with a robust game full of great features expected by the community. They canāt always rely on promising features or fixes to come later down the road if they disappoint on certain areas etc.
Playersā trust will be at stakes. Guess weāll see how things will go.
Of course on the bright side, we can have so much more quality content if done right and new areas unlocked on the Zeta ring with new characters and gameplay mechanics, stories etc. There is a lot of potentialā¦
They better not launch without Forge, theatre, a custom browser, and all the expected multiplayer modes.
Iām a fan of the 10 year platform. Hereās why. Iām playing through the classics again right now. On hard difficulties, it doesnāt age because of focus on sandbox. I could probably take a Halo CE a year with remixed assets and new sandbox scenarios and not get bored. As long as they nail that part, the game will be fun.
For the first time 343 really is making the sandbox the focus for the campaign. Even if they donāt get everything right initially, they can continue to iterate on it. If we went the traditional route, the approach would be to make larger changes to justify the sequel. Sometimes you overcorrect mistakes or feedback in sequels. Then youāre back to waiting another 3 years for another shot at getting it right.
Just keep building on top of whats good. Tweak whatās not. Being in tune with the Halo community and focusing on gameplay rather than water cooler moments will result in a game that should continue to get better over time.

Me reading Cryptum rnā¦ TEMPTATION
For those who are fans of MinnMax, theyāve recently started their Deep Dive on Halo: Combat Evolved. Iāve not listened to any of their previous deep dives as this is the first theyāve done that Iāve actually played. Really good discussion so far that Iād recommend you check out.
Part 1 covers the first half of the game.
Part 2 will cover the 2nd half and part 3 will cover multiplayer.
Sounds like they arent gonna leave us in the dark again which was really annoying i feel so thats a relief that they are seemingly gonna be transparent

Good to see - I want details!
Iāve played a lot of apex. I think their ranked system is probably the best Iāve ever experienced. Itās at least my favorite since halo 2/3.
People on the other forum laughed at the idea of it being used on in halo. Now that gears has implemented their version of it. I have to say I think it works fine for non battle royale games.
In gears the ranks go -Bronze- 0-1999 gears points(gp) No cost to enter match -Silver 2000-3999 (65 points to enter match) -Gold 4000-4999 (130 to enter match -Onyx 5000-5999 (150 to enter match) -Diamond 6000-6999 (170 to enter match) -Master 7000 and up. (200 to enter match)
You can get up to 100 points for in game performance. 150 for winning.
I would like to see the split at 50/50. Maybe 125 points for winning. Up to 125 points for performance. I think this would work extremely well. Winning is still very important. Itās essential to consistently win to go up.
What I donāt like is it being win/loss only. It makes it infuriating to ply with bad teammates/quitters. It also sucks when u play with friends only cause you all have the exact same rank even though your skills differ.

We need to bring this thread to life where are the Halo fans at
I already have too many Master Chief Statues/figures, but I might have to order that from Best Buy. Itās become a tradition for me to order a retail copy of Halo games, so thatās how Iāll justify it. 
I want to see more of the game in great visual and technical shape running on SX before getting excited.
Hope they make the best Halo ever possible. It is mandatory for the sake of the Xbox brand.
Waiting for an updated release window.
Hey donāt worry itās still my most anticipated game from everything thats been announced until now. Just waiting for more info!
