H4 talk Starts at about 17:30

So basically Two grizzled ancients of Halo and prominent ex- Halo pros turned casters talk Halo 4 and E3, among other things like attending Gilbert Arenas 1 million dollar birthday party…

A main list of interesting topic points:

  • Walshy and Gandhi both agree Developer/publisher support is necessary in maintaining Halo’s future in competitive gaming. They talk about how CoD XP, Quakecon, Blizz-Con, ect and how having a similar type thing for Halo would ensure player interest.

  • Walshy states H4 will “Make or Break” Competitive Halo, and that Halo needs to get back to the Gameplay>Graphics model.

  • Strong words for the future of Halo, “It depends if they want people to keep playing their game after they buy it”. Is this a reference to Halo Reach? What can be done to increase game longevity akin to the trilogy?

  • What does Walshy think is the most underrated title heading into E3? His answer may surprise and even anger some community members.

  • Walshy is asked what he think will “Make or Break” H4. He answers “Online consistency”(So not like H3 netcode lol), and a consistent starting weapons. Gandhi says a proper ranking system is atop his desires.

  • Walshy is asked what he thinks the “community wants for H4.” His answer is he thinks some people “Wants H4 to go back to Halo’s roots”, but explains how the new features could benefit all players and how they could be used.

  • Both players agree that H4 would benefit from having as close to “universal” settings across the board as possible. They mention Sc2 and LoL as prime examples.

  • Both Walshy and Gandhi along with Julie Alexandria are attending E3, what will they be doing and what do they expect?

Basically 1:00-15:00 is E3 talk, 17-30-35:00 is H4 talk, and the rest is various topics.

Thought it was a interesting discussion that id share, and hilarious as well!

Love to hear from veteran Halo players, makes me feel like Im not the only grizzled ancient still playing this game after all these years =) I still remember playing H2 and hearing of this STK(Shoot to kill) clan, and how they were atop the clan leader-boards and the “undisputed” number 1 clan in Halo. Little did we know that STK clan made all the way back in H1 would turn out to produce legends like Walshy and the OGRES. #memories

I hope H4 will be the game to unite all of our passion for Halo, we can make it happen!

No offense to the podcasters because i know they know more stuff about this than me, but I’m pretty sure everybody already knew that H4 would make or break competitive Halo. Even semi-competetives like me.

That may be true, but thats only part of the discussion. Most of it is about H4+ E3 and their first impression thoughts on the game and what they desire for H4.

I know I am not allowed to discuss the leak video, but lets just say I
agree with Gandhi when he says the basics (shooting,movement,maps)look good and it LOOKS like Halo first impression. I think once people see more, nerves will be settled and hopefully the community can rally behind it.
