Fill a pitcher with water and shove it into your fridge for an hour or two.
You are welcome.

The lightning is to good to pass up. And it goes away once you leave the Covenant…I think? Plus I like Solaire.

Nice to see all the new Blur material but…

WHERE"S MY GRAVEMIND!

I can’t wait too see him again in the cut scenes.

His speech is the best piece of writing in Halo IMO

People are giving the new appearance of Miranda Keyes so much -Yoink- and I really don’t know why.

IMO, she’s much more realistic looking and attractive than before. And even then, the objective isn’t to make her look attractive, but to make her look like the offspring of Halsey and Keyes.

Both of those tasks are done perfectly.

I was under the impression that BLUR had been given the assignment of recreating the cut scenes and they did that sooooo…

Yeah the old Miranda from Halo 2 looks a lot like the new one IMO. Just better visuals they didn’t change the structure of her face or something so I don’t understand the ‘fuss’

Yes! She looks exactly like I’d imagine her. It’s CLEAR she’s a child of Halsey, but she doesn’t look EXACTLY like Halsey and you can tell there’s some daddy traits in her features. I love it.

Also, last call for Sec-3 coffee!

Guys… everyone’s entitled to their opinion, plus we don’t need to bring that discussion here…

I don’t see the problem with Miranda Keyes I think see looks a lot better.

Hello Waypoint! How’s it going?

Well, I think the cutscenes in Halo 2 anniversary are looking great! I wonder if they’re completed though? I like that Zanzibar is returning as a map. I always liked that map. Does any one know if we’ll be able to forge on it?

Oh, and does anyone know what to do here? I’m trying to watch a live stream, but the sound won’t turn on…

Please don’t do it again.

Destiny is very fun so far… well… except for the competitive muliplayer. I’ll put it simply… it’s worse than Halo Reach. Otherwise though, I love the story. I can’t wait to play this game with my friends this September. :slight_smile:

In other news, I love the Halo 2 Anniversary Cinematic trailer. Chief looks so gritty and awesome! I really want to see the New Mombasa cutscenes now.

Yep! You can forge on all the Halo 2 Anniversary maps.

Isn’t that every YouTube video…?

People are nasty there… :stuck_out_tongue:

I still wish for an eventuality where at least some of the H2A maps are maps that haven’t been remade before, but I guess I shouldn’t get my hopes up.

Hello Waypoint, what’s happening?

I know we have quite a bit of musicians here at Waypoint, but what I want to know is what instruments do you play?

These are the instruments *(http://thehub.musiciansfriend.com/images/bassguide/fender-american-deluxe-jazz-bass.jpg) play.

Both her and Cortana seem stuck in the Uncanny Valley to me. They don’t look wrong per-se, but something about them just doesn’t feel right.

I’m more concerned about Rtas’ helmet… Just seems really boxy as opposed to the sleek design I remember.

Does singing count? If so, I sing, play piano, and play guitar.

Piano.

That’s pretty much it.
