Interesting things in new bulletin.

Team “Demon” and “Fury” are placeholder names. They aren’t customizable.

Sergeant Johnson isn’t returning.

Forge won’t be a full-fledged map editor, but it will be cool and expand upon Reach.

Spectator Mode is a no-go, however, “There will be some changes to post-death camera.”

UI elements are practically finished, but art and design are undergoing final passes. This means the new medal appearance may be final, but could possibly be tweaked.

“Matchmaking will account for skill level, experience, equipment and more.”

Thruster Pack is actually pretty different from evade.

Spartan Ops can be played solo, but it’s very difficult.

War Games and Spartan Ops are 6 months after campaign.

The A-7 rank is a placeholder.

Stripped-down playlist at launch confirmed.

JOIN IN PROGRESS IS CONFIRMED TO BE OPTIONAL.

Ancient Evil is still a mystery.

Interesting MP aspects are to be included to scratch the itch of elites and Invasion.

I think that what Frankie meant by saying that rank A-7 is a placeholder is that he would never get to 7, so it was just added into the video and didn’t actually happen.

Thanks for a god summary of the bulletin :slight_smile:
Nice things in this one for a change, and lots of info :slight_smile:

What’s RTX?

Who the Hell was under the impression Johnson would return?

Would Nathan Fillion have really been at E3 (especially the Halo 4 events) if he wasn’t going to be in Halo 4? Just a thought.

With Sgt. Johnson gone, Buck could probably fill that role pretty well. Maybe not perfect, but well.

Rooster Teeth Expo. X technically stands for Expo, not a word that starts with “X”. Same as PAX.

Wait… the Prometheans ARN’T Santa’s elves on strike?!?! Link or it didn’t happen.

This part leaves me to believe that we can play as something other than Spartans in certain game modes. Maybe some type of promethan…

RT=Rooster Teeth, TX=Texas (where they’re located.)

> Sergeant Johnson isn’t returning.

As a plot device.

As an easter egg, I don’t see how it is impossible for him to return.

> Spartan Ops can be played solo, but it’s very difficult.

I hope it isn’t another H3 campaign. The last level is an atrocity on Solo. From what I have seen, it is only fun on Co-op.

Speaking of which, I dislike how some of Reach’s easter eggs are strictly limited to Co-op.

> Ancient Evil is still a mystery.

Guess it’s not too late for Precursors then.
