Still trying to digest that data drop. Anyone else still shivering?

I’ll probably hold out on getting an XB1 until I see if they release a Halo themed console in the future. And maybe at that point I may be more interested in getting the Master Chief series on the new system.

I don’t have an Xbox one yet either. But since I want to play the Beta, I am going to get one, and then I can truly tell how I feel about it. Right now I am just excited that they decided that they are going to have a Beta for it. So, from this, I know that they are making all the right moves to really capture the fans love and bring them a good game. A game that will be made from them and by us.

Heart is still pounding through my rib cage. :stuck_out_tongue:

He hasn’t posted in OT for ages, but I’ve seen him around the forums a couple of times this month. Not what I’d call active, but I’ll take it. I myself am fairly active, though not anywhere near as much as I used to be.

@R MK XXV fair enough. To each their own.

Well, the hype bomb reawakened the Spartan-Avatar-Eating glitch again. And this time, it’s for every single forum-goer.

So, I switched my avatar to one I’ve never seen anyone using before!
(But nobody cares)

A bit yes.

Does spastic drooling in excitement count as shivering?

If its Halo related, yes.

I know the feeling of not being as active as you use to be :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s because you boosted for 6000 posts over the course of one summer :P. It’d be impossible to keep that pace for long. You did disappear entirely for a while there though.

That’s what Jimmy kept screaming!

Half an hour until the Sony event! HYPE!

Today was a great day for Halo news, we got confirmation on the Master Chief Collection and Halo 2 Anniversary at the same time as well as the Halo 5 beta.
But that Halo Wars thing, interesting…
Was there any gameplay on the Borderlands Pre-Sequel?

> Was there any gameplay on the Borderlands Pre-Sequel?

I don’t think there was.

There wasn’t anything about Quantum Break either, which is weird, since its a Xbox One exclusive.

Ah, classic Church.

@RulingSaucer: That was an interesting little sneak. Do the studios have any connection?

Glad that you guys understood where I stood. Its not that I don’t like Halo.

I’m still a fan of the series.
