Ok, so this seemed pretty small, but what all do you guys remember?
I saw different weather effects (dust, snow, rain, paper, fire embers, floaty motes???)
And new foliage. (more unique trees, ivy, bushes, grass)
Vehicle blockers
More sound effects
Also below “extras” tab was “343i”
What else did I miss?
Apparently a ton of bug fixes as well as a lot more sound effects. Also, Olive has her own custom sound effects voiced by her real life counterpart.
Sound effects…
…but yeah… I was kinda wondering the same thing…
I kinda hoped they’d put in more detailed blocks or something. I miss the stone and forerunner textured walls and such from Halo 3/Reach
I think the guy said lots of bushes, also placeable grass and horror sounds.
If those new weather effects don’t have actual logic (I.E. they just faze through everything, so rain comes through buildings even if they have roofs)
Then I’m honestly not too too hyped. I really hope they have actual physics, because if they don’t we can do 90% of those effects with just the fog options.
Problem is fog is the same way. But imagine combining the fog with the effects.
There is more then what they talk about in the stream.

I feel inclined to agree. I saw a “343i” tab underneath “extras”
i think the 343 tab is stuff that’s just in testing and not ready yet, like a temp folder. They only revealed around a third of the stuff I believe actually so theres more to come. I remember tom French said to me on twitter that he wants to bring back the dominion turrets and said something similar to cryo tubes is coming “very soon” which to Microsoft is 6 months. Cryo tubes next month? dunno but I recently asked him about adding Cortana and roland in via holograms like the prophet since they are smart ais, have in game renders and display themselves as holograms but you know…
I think it would be awesome if there was an option to add weather effects, and other types of environmental changes to maps.
what forge update?, the GoM forge improvements? do you have a link to the changelog?

Expect the patch notes to come shortly after the update itself sometime tomorrow.

I think they said something about that.

They unfortunatly do, even on maps that 343 made with buildings they made like on Eden. It just phases straight through the roof.
still waiting on prebuilt structure blocks like in previous games. I need my Bunker rounds.
