Support NeoGAF

Odd. I find Firefox handles .gifs better than Chrome for me.

I found the problem. It is the Kaspersky Add-on for Webbrowser. Just disabled it and it's really smooth now. Didn't even know that Kaspersky is blocking gifs...

Anyways, thanks for trying to help me. I appreciate it.

Edit:

Spartan Ops netcode details?

Hopefully they tested the netcode with different connections and with people from other countries. I hope they will not follow Bungie's mistakes there.

 

[op_ivy]

that maintenance tunnel bit from the theater trailer looked STUNNING. gif please. in fact, need gifs of all of those lovely environment shots.

[User 73706]

Frankles, is the big Mammoth thing placeable in Forge or it's campaign only.

Sandtrap remake using the canyon aesthetic but 7 times larger (breaking records as the largest map in Halo ever

Spoiler

) with Mammoths instead of Elephants or bust. I wonder if it's possible to run over not only players, but other vehicles using it because of how huge it is.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Nooooooooooooooo

Yesssss.

It best live up to your praise.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

my least favorite part about online gaming. i play MTG on xbl and people are constantly dropping out as the momentum shifts and they begin to lose.

just take your medicine, kids.

How is MTG on XBL? Is it all the new crap or oldschool? I stopped after like Ice Age cause stuff was getting stupid.

 

[NobleGundam]

I'd like at least 1 A.I. to play against me only in H4 Customs. Reminds me of those random "ghosts" A.I. that were present in Halo 2 & 3 but idk about Reach, maybe.

 

[Overdoziz]

Those assassinations are fancy and all if you're into Gears but is there a toggle to turn it off for normal people who just want to get a quick kill?

I'm sure her hands are full with waypoint.

Isn't a "immune to assassinations" option in Reach?
If so, why wouldn't it be in Halo 4?

If you've ever been a woman on a forum you'd know the answer.

Getting it into the new crashed phantom will cause your xbox to melt and explode in a fancy way.

Why would you want that?

Yeah, that is true. Waypoint is full of community content.

 

[Blueblur1]

So I take it Commander Palmer is a Spartan IV and the first female Spartan they've shown right? (Check the 33:42 mark of the panel.)

And armor will be unlocked via rank progression instead of via Spartan Points. Can the 343 guys confirm that?

 

[Franklinator]

That would be great, but I really doubt it.

He's talking about accidentally assassinating. Assassinations take too long and accidentally performing one when you don't want to is lame.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

You're right, it's a shame there will only be one game mode and you will be forced into this grinding Ayn Randian fantasy world.

Taking the extreme as if that's what he's implying lol.. :]

In your defense though, you could've just told him to play Custom Games even though setting up Customs is still tedious :]

As long as it doesn't take too many gameplay hours to unlock everything then I'm ok with it even though I hate long progression unlocks :]

Spoiler

:]

 

[Vire]

Interesting shot in the theatrical trailer:

Notice the levels remaining bit.

I can't quite make out what number it is...

Correct on both counts.

[FyreWulff]

Just because it's a run-on sentence doesn't mean it's true. Your Halo Reach as beta schtick is a little tiring. The Halo 4 MP & sandbox team has had practically nothing to do with the sustainment team for Halo Reach.

I know you won't believe this so I'm wasting these words for nothing, but I say it anyway.

You guys totally did the TU and then did absolutely nothing with that telemetry with regards to decisions for Halo 4. Yup. Completely isolated from each other. Which is why the changes to bloom, sword clashing, and bleedthrough have all showed up in Halo 4, and ATLAS Microsoft Glass functionality was shown off at E3.

Even if it wasn't the intention, it sure felt like it. And it sure as hell feels like it was half finished because of Halo 4 being on the horizon.

I hear "we learned from what we did with Reach" and now "those teams have little to do with each other". This is a going in circles. I'm done.

Spartan Ops netcode details?

You should just make an offhand comment about SpOps netcode quality, it's more likely to get someone from 343 to answer it than asking direct questions they have the answers for.

 

[heckfu]

If Fyre is right about Reach being the beta I hope 343 fixes the thrusters and the hard light shield. It doesn't work for me at ALL in Super Slayer.

 

[a zoojoo]

That would be great, but I really doubt it.

There is a way to control that though, tapping instead of holding the melee button should negate that problem.

 

[FyreWulff]

They're in Squad Slayer.

 

[Blueblur1]

Correct on both counts.

Thank you, sir.

Try them in Squad Slayer. I hear they work better there.

haha, its from the 2004 bungie tour video, i'll change it back to MC w/ a fez sometime this week but i thought it was hilarious when i first saw it

I'd not say the same about yours lady, yeahhh!

Spoiler

sorry...

 

[everyday math]

It dousn't always work. I have just tapped the button and it forces me into full assassination in Reach. Very annoying.

 

[Blueblur1]

That's cute fellas. :lol

 

[Arnie]

In Halo 4, is Mister Chief green?

The colour all depends on your personal play-style.

Really? 20 million credits later and only now I find this out.

I love that Halo 4 has more custom hard surface assets and certain artists are even using Modo:

Going the distance, 343...

 

[Zoso Achilles]

So glad that they are trying to make you feel empowered with the objectives.
Nothing is worse than being the ball bitch and being completely vulnerable.

Drop ball. Shoot back.

 

[Blueblur1]

Looks like I missed one.

 

[YourExWife]

Doesn't always work. Especially if the connection is wonky.

 

[JackHerer]

So what's up with the fluorescent purple armor in the oddball video?

 

[a zoojoo]

Doesn't always work. Especially if the connection is wonky.

Haha, i wasn't trying to be a smart ass though, i'm just trying to help doz1z solve his problem without devs having to change the game. The kid also looks a little like me when i was his age lol!

 

[Blissful]

I wonder how the playlists will work in Halo 4. Hopefully they end up doing a Ranked Playlist and Social Playlist like in Halo 2 and 3. Pretty much the only piece of information I care about since I’m already sold on the campaign and Spartan ops side of the game.

 

[FyreWulff]

Drop ball. Shoot back.

What is this sorcery

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Haha, i wasn't trying to be a smart ass though, i'm just trying to help doz1z solve his problem without devs having to change the game. The kid also looks a little like me when i was his age lol!

You call adding a toggle changing the game? It's something that should have been in Reach, there's absolutely no reason there can't be a toggle to keep yourself from doing an animated assassination.

 

[Vire]

New concept art of Prometheans from the panel.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

So you can shoot now when you have flag? and throw the Oddball? Why do they have to change dumb shit like that? Its been with us for all the Halos. Take the removal of flag juggling for instance. Noone wanted that but they gave it to us. Bunch of playlists stopped using it cause its stupid.

Are they trying to revamp objective so more people play it? People don't want to play objective. People are too dumb to play objective. They are just going to go into the first slayer playlist forever.

 

[a zoojoo]

This is a legitimate question for anybody, does toggling the "immune to assassination" option negate the insta-kill beatdown?

 

[m23]

Breaking Bad lets go!

 

[ZalinKrow]

Panel was awesome. I really can't wait to see all the armour unlocks in 4. Hot damn does that Scout helmet look goooood.

I also really enjoyed the excitement 343 had at revealing those assassinations haha. Game is lookin' mighty fine.
