I am glad 343 took the 2-Disc H3: ODST Approach. Expecting LOADS of Content for high replayability! Can Part 2, TTW & FUD, and Halo 4 get here now? 
Also Happy Birthday Plywood!!!

Why would you imagine Halo 3 MLG CTF on a Halo 3 map, The Pit for Halo 4?
Clearly very different games.

We both know that's not true.
I play BF3 and the constant notifications are horrible and a complete distraction. Sure, I enjoy the game still, but does that mean I wouldn't like to at least have an option to remove some of the clutter? No. Why not let players choose what information they deem important? You may believe it's a stupid complaint, but there are those who would rather have the most minimalist HUD.

Could be talking about Pit in Reach

Used in MLG settings that make Reach as similar as possible to Halo 2/3.
You missed the point. :/
Imagine playing Halo 3 CTF maps right now with the current Halo 4 CTF settings.

Not really, it's a scenario that isn't applicable to Halo 4, so that comparison does nothing.
That is my point, I wouldn't because those are not Halo 4 maps, and we haven't seen a map in Halo 4 yet similar to something like The Pit, and that's not unintentional. Different maps work for different games.

I have something to say about why I think the new CTF changes may work as well as how those changes might not work.
I'll do write-up or something.

I enjoyed the bulletin, I understand they are busy, and I've come to terms with the new CTF mode (kinda, maybe, well I dunno), but I really really wish they'd just go a little more in depth on it and other things instead of just always telling us to trust them "we have our reasons." I get it, and I'm in support of your new game, but its getting old. Humor us. Share some of those reasons, not for sake of argument, but for enlightenment.

I could do a write up, too, if I weren't that lazy.
I can imagine it, if your team take out 3 players from the other team and flag is already in greenbox, thats a cap.
How CTF is in Halo 4, It would only require a different strategy and a more tight team work. Most of the time, Either in Reach or in Halo 3, if you pull the flag at the wrong time the flag carrier gets killed either way.
Not been able to drop the flag isn't a big deal as long as the speed of the spartan holding the flag isn't slower than other Spartans. A bigger problem in a CTF game is sprint.

I think my biggest issue with the new CTF mode is not the pistol, or the fact you cannot drop the flag- rather the fact it is auto-pickup. I just foresee protecting the flag career, he gets shot down and you auto pickup the flag in a gun fight. If the fight was at DMR range you are screwed.. or what if you have your teams power weapon, such as a rocket? If one thing gets changed post launch I will bet it will be auto-pickup. I see why they did it, but I think its a bad idea.
Thank you so much for keeping on top of these videos, its a pain to find new stuff otherwise.. Hm. I wonder if any decent new Spartan Ops videos came out of PAX.

This did happen to me once at PAX. It was fairly annoying. I don't terribly mind the auto-pickup in general, but this is probably the biggest downside I see happening with it.
My opinion:
A) They said that you have to be on top of the flag to pick it up, so, I see very little accidental pick ups happening.
B) power weapons, a power weapon holder should not be running a flag regardless if he can or cant drop the flag (unless you are very sure that you will carry he flag to a safe place within your own base)

No. In the video Cyren just put up on the customization screens, it shows 9/9 Armor Abilities unlocked.
Actually I said i don't like the new CTF you can dig up my post to see, but I also think that some of the reasons people are not liking the change are not the actual problem.
For me the main problem of not drooping the flag is that a flag carrier cant help team shoot or defend himself effectively, and with sprint in the mix, Flag caps are going to be more problematic because in a 4 v 4 is going to be actually a 3 v 4 trough the flag run, and those 4 players will constantly swarm the opposing base.
EDIT: I didnt saw this part of the bulletin: " However, a huge advantage to the Magnum is forcing enemies to stop sprinting " that helps a lot.
None. Not joking, that was a selectable option on the PAX build.

I think this is new footage of the SAW+. That shit is a BEAST!
Ha. I was wondering if that was the case. UI bug then.
Steelyuhas

I don't think so. There was clearly a none option for AA and both armor mods.
Now forever nicknamed "Bewb guy".
Yep, used the more cooler variation of it.
No idea, but during the match he soberd up. That nerd.
Happy B-day to king slup, Plywood.
^^^ I hate troll/rage/me gusta faces so much.
I mean the "9/9 Unlocked" if there are only 8. That'd be a UI bug right? That'd imply to me they are counting the "None" in that and should be excluding it.

Oh, right.
Uh, maybe. I'd initially think so, but maybe is says 9 because there is 9 selections you can make, although I'd rather it say 8 because that's how many AA's there are.

As the keeper of lists, I assure you guys
"none" counts as an option in this build, adding to the total number.
8 aa's
(id c/p my typical list but I'm on mobile)

Im getting fond of the spreadsheets and lists coming from this thread.
Looks very powerful. I like it.

We know that, we were just discussing if it should state 9 because there is 9 possible selections or 8 because there is 8 AA's.
I think it's probably easier to support it than not, so it's in. My guess is they wanted to have game options that allowed you turn off extra stuff like AAs and armor mods, so they built that into the loadout customization framework rather than build around it.
Same. Plus the word "unlocked" implies you can do just that. Its misleading either way especially when its on the screen before you make the selection.

The SAW was a beast. But really hard to judge in which group it belongs. I need more time with the game.
IMO, of all the things to be upset about, the lack of Mark V is the most silly and petty.
LOL, that is worth a few laughs.

Which is why they remade it last year. It's just an armour set, hell, I wouldn't care if Mark VI was omitted either if they included the Chief's campaign armour as a choice.

I agree. The Mark V won't even look good on a Spartan IV, I think.

Like where that damn Magnum comes from when you take the flag...
Wait, I've figured it out!
