E3 2012 defining moment

Halo. A game created 10 years ago by a bunch of insanely optimistic programmers. Back then it didn’t need to succeed. It didn’t need to contend for game of the year of have hundreds of thousands of people putting their hard-earned cash into buying their product.

That was 10 years ago…
This is now.

So e3 2012, held on June 5-7, will probably be the moment where Halo as a franchise is completely broken or rises to the top of the gaming world with style. 343 understand that they need to go big on this one. They know that failure is not an option, especially with Microsoft’s wealth behind them.

I’m sure that the few glimpses that we see at e3 will show us exactly what we want to see in terms of how the game will operate and if we will be willing to pay money for the game at release or wait a few years till there is a tremendous price drop.

I expect that at e3 there will be several things in the game that will be showcased ;

  1. Forge
  2. Multiplayer
  3. Campaign
  4. Firefight

Now, as a community, lets help 343i achieve what we want them to achieve by contributing some input onto what you want in their game as a whole. Whether it be lack of armour abilities, different weapons, different types of enemies, different game dynamics etc. Any input will be updated into the top of the thread and will be credited to the user suggesting said suggestion.

This one is but flesh and faith and is the more deluded.

Don’t expect anything, then you won’t be disappointed :slight_smile:

Well we can try and think positively.

Fix’d
Forge and FF are the last things that getting showed. Nobody wants to see boring forge on a Press Conference etc :wink: U can expect Forge anf FF maybe in August at GamesCom or later before release. E3 will be mainly Campaign.

Well, Reach’s Firefight was unveiled at E3. Not during the Press Conference, but at the event, yes.

Two firefight maps were unveiled at e3. That’s pretty important, but yes Space Combat was the main thing though.
Forge was shown at the San Diego Comic Con, in july.

k, but we know how 343 handles this sadly… there will be coverstorys next month about one campaign mission. At E3 there is hopefully a Live demo or only a Campaign Trailer and then there will be again silence till August. GamesCom time.

Have an open mind, stay positive, and don’t set expectations.

Why would they skip Comic Con?
It’s a major event, even for Halo and 343 Industries.

Forge was first shown there in 2010.
There was a Halo Universe panel in 2011, where we got to see the first trailer for the Anniversary’s terminals.

At E3 I wanna see a campaign trailer showing off new weapons possibly and the new enemie(s), and some multiplayer.I don`t really care about Forge, only if it’s some inredible awesome mape with pelicans and phantoms that are flyable.

I will not be disappointed by this game if there is no expectation for it yet in terms of forge. So far I’m pretty pleased with the footage I’ve been shown.
