The only things I didn't like about the beta reveal are the ground and pound of course and the jumping ability that pulls you over obstacles. I think part of being a good player was knowing the jumps on maps and being able to make them. That ability takes away that skill. I bet the professional players won't like that ability.

ok, it looks like that update from 343 has matchmaking working again for some twitter people I follow.



I went to Micromania today, France, Nantes (6th largest city) and the Xbox One AC:Unity Bundle was sold out. Then, this bundle entered in top 20 on french Amazon. First console in the top.

also, i thought the nightfall episode started off really awkwardly with that elite (which had very wonky cgi, worse than forward unto dawn, tbh).
but it really picked up mid-way, which finished pretty strong.
so first half- totally meh
second half or so- great.

Agreed about the pacing, definitely started off slow. I also agree about that CGI Elite, it was pretty bad in some scenes. Honestly the CGI Brute from Neil Blomkamp's 2007 Halo 3 short film was almost as good as that elite, sad that CGI from a low budget short film from 7 years ago was almost as good. Hopefully the Spielberg Halo tv show on Showtime will have a much better special effects and CG budget than Halo:Nightfall.


yup.  blomkamp is masterful with limited budgets.  I wish microsoft would just pay the man some money for a little halo movie.  or even just re-hire forward unto dawn's director.  he was pretty awesome (that elevator break up scene wowed me).  

 

I think it'd be better for these web series if they were just released as a movie.  I mean, they were shot as a movie, not a show.  

20 minute segments probably really don't do it much justice.  



I agree about that Elite at the beginning I also thought it looked ackward but ywes it picked up later on the show.

MS give Halo's direction to Bloomkamp already!

Hopefully both sunset game and bundle sales leak, considering how npd doesn't add them.



Wow, doesn't look like Unity has a shot at GOTY. Leaves Far Cry 4. Dragon Age for Goty hype!



Already ready to be played, no way it started just after kinect sports.
