E3 2012: Red vs Blue Gets Justified Aboard the UNSC Infinity

hdfh

EDIT: I thought contextualizing multiplayer as "training" was pretty lazy, but I admit the weekly cutscene thing sounds cool and unique.

Who gives a shit what the context is? In the last 4 games it hasn't had any.

Racist.

If they do this right, it could be one of the most engrossing multilayer experiences around.

Damn, when I read Red vs. Blue I thought I'd see some of the Rooster Teeth shorts or something...

same lol

Red vs Blue Justified, sounds like 343 put RosterTeeth's RvB into the Halo Canon

Does anyone know if they are keeping forge?

This actually looks cool

I was coming in expecting the Rooster Teeth machinima

I thought this was about rooster teeth, bummer

I only watched this because I thought there might be a Timothy Olyphant reference.

"Loadouts" And that's where 343 killed Halo.

@redbliss: I would not be surprised either way, but I'm curious about Forge as well. Would be a shame to lose such an awesome feature.

I'll be spending a lot of time on Infinity.

I Also thought this was about RoosterTeeth :(

So the UNSC Infinity is a 3 mile long main menu?

@boj4ngles: 3.5 mile

Also, Dat music.

@shrinerr: @EmuLeader: @Sharbok: @vikingdeath1: Do you ever wonder why we're here?

:-)

I love it all.

Not gonna lie, until i watched the video, I thought this was about Rooster Teeth's Red VS Blue

@TomA: lol same here!

Still have to buy Season 9 of RvB

this kind of looks dope

It has always been justified. Those damn dirty Reds are trying to steal our flag so we gotta capture theirs first! XD

But seriously that did look pretty cool, though I wonder if 343 can keep their promise of weekly content and if it will be any good.

Damn, I need this game.

@Hitchenson: Are you serious? Calm down, take a breath, and wait to learn more before making sweeping general blanket criticisms.

The weekly episodes thing sounds great. I wonder if those supplemental videos will be produced in the same quality as the stuff we have seen before the actual gameplay footage.

That footage looked good! Reminded me of Alien or Event Horizon, which is never a bad thing.

Luckily we were spared from enduring the crap they started putting out after Season 5.

This stuff looks really good. I know a lot of people are going to be assholes about this and say it's dumb to at context to the multiplayer, but it looks like they are going to do a good job with it, and that can hardly end up hurting the experience. As someone who enjoys a more living and connected experience in games, this added context will do a lot for me. And I'm glad they still know their roots and are giving the coop players something awesome as well, being as I am a big coop as well as competitive player.

Oooh.

game looks good and the weekly episode thing could be cool in a syndicate kinda way, but probably wont be.

and i don't really need story in my multiplayer if all it is is, yo this is training.

So I guess I should hang on to my 360...

Very cool. I'm a big fan of story conceits for multiplayer. I wish more devs wouldn't be so creatively lazy. Always be giving context!

The weekly episodes for Spartan Ops sounds cool but I wonder for how long will they be pumping out this weekly content and will they charge for it?

Wait, so there are more REAL spartans doing virtual training on Infinity? Does MC get friends when it crashes?

Weekly cinematics? That actually sounds pretty awesome.

Love the fact they are going to try to keep thier multiplayer audience engaged for a longer span of time.

This looks good, but I hope the loadout crap doesn't apply to competitive MP. That has never been and shouldn't be what competitive Halo is about.
