Quality assessments are for you to decide - I am describing aesthetic appearance as it relates to Terminals - which have a distinct style of their own. But I think Spops cinematics look quite nice.

Water in cinematics confirmed.

 

[Tawpgun]

No, Spartan Ops eps are conventional high quality CG - aesthetics are like in-game cinematics but all plus plus - something like Halo Wars, more or less. You will see for yourself if you're at ComicCon on Saturday....

CANT. WAIT.

Halo 4 Terminal and Forge information video in one day?

I love life.

Please tell me it will be filmed/streamed/put online asap.

 

[thezerofire]

Technically the first forge space is Forerunner right? It's not human. So we now have one Forerunner, one human. I'm hoping the third is Covenant.

they only showed human stuff on the first space though

Halo 4 controller available today, I'm hearing some Gamestop stores are delaying them until the 18th.

Looks like budget is back to 10.000

This thing isn't too rare is it? Do I have time to buy one?

 

[MaDGaMEZ]

Sorry, I edited the post, but the spoilers are super minor. I didn't think about it til afterwards since it is literally frontpaged at waypoint with that title.

A little more than a minor spoiler since that individual is locked up in The Thursday War just saying......not really a spoiler for Halo 4 since after reading The Thursday War you pretty much know whats going to happen in Halo 4......but a spoiler for people that haven't finished Thursday War.

I think its fine either way.

 

[squidhands]

I think he's talking about the Forerunner-themed space that was shown at RTX back in July

 

[CyReN]

Should be fine, I've seen Halo Reach controllers around in the last year.

 

[MrBig]

Forge looks fantastic

 

[Captain Blood]

To anybody who can't tell: This man is joking.

Not that I believed him but I am oddly disappointed that isn't the case.

 

[DopeyFish]

Who knows? Everyone thought the halo 4 LE wasn't limited like Halo 2/3 LE

It's always a risk game

I know, and the forge pieces they showed on that map were all human. I hope they were just showing the pieces that were done and that space will have forerunner pieces but that's not what we've seen yet

 

[Reagan's BR]

Yeah I got two Reach controllers and the Reach console for a total of four. Oh I got the headset too. I spent so much money on that game it hurts.

Terminal spoilers:

Spoiler

Maybe they're boarding the Forward Unto Dawn because they think they can enter Requiem if they're in a human ship.

If their reunion isn't something along the lines of this

343 have failed.

The force of the handshake will shatter both their shields in an amazing display of sparks.

 

[zlatko]

Good question. I really want one and need it because my current stick is doing the usual move me forward when i leave it in neutral from natural wear of use.

Walshy isn't attneding MLG Dallas.

 

[squidhands]

They were? Maybe it was the fact that they were just re-skinned pieces that threw me off.

 

[Poker Face]

Walshy isn't attneding MLG Dallas.

wat.

Why not?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Walshy isn't attneding MLG Dallas.

Is Walshy still a thing?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

It was on a Halo ring, and contained Forerunner backdrops. That's what I meant. Or are you meaning the actual forge pieces and not the environments? If so, then yeah, we've only seen human themed building blocks.

Anyone have a link to the Terminal video that doesn't require that piece of shit Silverlight?

It simply doesn't work on Macs.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Too busy being killed by Mellvar.

Halo 4: 2 shades of gray: white edition.

just kidding. I'm so pumped for this game. Forge looks sweet. I'm seriously going to try to make a map this time. Although I see some brutal FPS drops.

 

[timetokill]

New Forge info! Exciting
Love the asteroid/moon environment. But the main thing is being able to set up more distinctive waypoints/colors to help people get around and not get lost.

Excited about the magnets and the delete features, delete by type, locking stuff, etc. And the player trait zones are really interesting as a sort of replacement for custom gametypes... now the gametype just comes with the map


I'm looking forward to once again running ForgeGAF sessions when this ships!

Juicy drama?

That Impact map makes a Midship remake possible right down to its skybox. Awesome.

Relay looks like junk.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Reach framerates could get cinematic
but there's still hope for each Forge fanatic
Trait zones change jump heights
Forge objects use lights
too bad they're still monochromatic

 

[squidhands]

...sigh

I really hope there's some innovation besides the lighting. So far, I can't say I'm terribly excited to be getting a more polished version of what Reach offered.

edit: lol Duncan

I'm fine with it as long as the creations don't become the focus of Halo 4's matchmaking maps.

 

[Project]

Been thinking about a very usable controller layout I haven't seen, what do you guys think?

LT Grenade, RT Shoot, LB Jump, RB Armour Ability, Left Stick Crouch, Right Stick Zoom, A Sprint, B Melee, X Reload, Y Switch Weapons??

 

[Tha Robbertster]

Duncan always makes me sing stuff :lol

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Put them in their own playlist.

I don't want to see a single one outside of a forge specific playlist...ever.

Cool.

Aaww ambient occlusion in forge didn't make the cut.

Hell they could just copy that frame for frame!

This is pretty much what I wish bumper jumper was, although I don't quite know how the RB armor ability would feel

 

[nillapuddin]

If they had shown the prebuilt map without the forge context I dont think a single person would be complaining

a 4 way symmetrical arena style map with no fluff

thats all most of yall wanted, but because its forge, you constantly degrade it
nonsense

 

[senador]

Hear hear! This alone would increase my chances for a great experience ten fold. Then when I feel like Halo 4 is getting old, I can jump in that playlist and see how great it really is upon retuning to normal ones.

Would like to board the flagship and kick shipmasters ass... But that's just me. Haha

Really cool cinematics. Very interesting to see more terminals and whether waypoint will have a secret terminal once every code is acquired, if they plan on doing.

It still would look like crap.
