Does the game really say nice catch?
Edit: And that's a good point. How is throwing and catching the ball any different than juggling the flag?
If you want to make the flag carrier a special "experience", why not do the same for oddball?

yes you are even notified when you're a "DISTRACTION!"
Imagine throwing it to a guy rushing you and pooping on him & picking it back up.

I only need it for two people really. It just saved a lot of hassle when me and my bro would be in the same game, I or he would do something sick then we'd load the vid up at the next tea/cigarette break whatever and quickly skip to it. Now I have to go through the whole rigmarole of leaving the party to go into theatre alone, skipping to the clip, recording it, naming it, saving it to my harddrive, then coming out of theatre, finding the clip in my local files, then having to wait for it to upload to my file share, then he has to download it, then he has to load it, then he has to watch it separately. If it's a single snipe or a minor moment of amusement that happened in a Hog I can't be bothered to do all that. Party of two enabled in theatre would circumvent all of that. We know it can be done because its five year old predecessor managed it (it worked fine with only two people, particularly if both of them were in the game being watched). It truly is a case of 'good enough' in this instance.
Exactly, who goes to the theatre alone?
Day one full party boosting party on HaloGAF.
Also, I know I'm kind of slow, but I just figured out that FOTUS stands for

So, I wanna watch Halo 4 MP streams as much as the next guy, but isn't only passing the links via PM so David or Frankie or anyone else from 343 don't see and take it down a bit of a dick move? I'm not trying to call anyone out, but what if they PMd for a link? Would you ignore it..?
That was a troll tactic in Halo CE. Since the oddball was auto-pickup.
Let me give you a scenario; A player would be rushing you while you have the oddball. You toss it in his general direction and he picks it up due to the auto-pickup. You proceed to give him the D of his life, raging ensues from his side of the room and the game goes on.

Pm me as well?
I think Bravo made a video of them. Also, Bravo found a lot of jumps before I ever even played the game. I think we found a couple together though.

I don't think Steitzer needs to announce it, but I'm glad the game informs you anyways. When you're near dead, trying to run from an opponent, it'll be nice to know that someone else took them out.
Yeah, but that email seems to indicate that anyone who plays online before November 20th will also have access to all the customizations (as long as they're past SR-50). Or am I misunderstanding it?
sounds awesome, and biggy says its possible.
Now imagine you throw it at someone shooting at you, you shoot him once or twice, he throws it back, he shoots you. etc. etc.
Until someone dies.
I can't wait till the inevitable Basketball gametype.

ONE BIG QUESTION ABOUT FORGE.
Are there any objects affected by physics? Kinda sucked how you couldn't create Jenga again in Halo Reach. Loved in in Halo 3.

The box to actually catch the ball is actually fairly small. I'm sure you would have to be throwing a perfect ball to force someone to auto catch it

You know, it would have to be an option to turn on/off, but who else thinks it would be awesome to have a sports-style commentator for a Halo MP match? Like a EA or 2K sports game or something.
EDIT: Aaaaand stream is done. Pffft.
And the channel goes down.
I've done it only a handful of times, but it feels so good when you do it.

If you can aim at the head in Halo I'm sure aiming to pass the ball isn't any harder than that.
I actually did this in the first oddball game I played. I have it filmed
Good, I'm glad they're taking them down right?
Best out of context quote this OT

Seriously. And if Oddball has personal ordnance? It's going to be a massacre.
:lol
I agree with you on this. There's way too much announcer. Is it toggle-able?
MONTAGE THAT SHIT BRO
Working on it right now actually son

At least "Enemy Team Scored" doesn't sound so strange and sarcastic now.

Getting ready to mute the inevitable Kings of Leon music
YES!!!! It's the alley oop joke I never dreamed of or setup for!
Nice. Release the full footage too somewhere between now and launch please. Edited montage will be cool but at this point we want to see full games.

MP stuff should have already been completely revealed. They are just correcting terrible information distribution.
Campaign is the thing noone should know about, unfortunately we've had tons of info about that...
343 should literally be streaming matches of the game 24/7 on Waypoint. Can you imagine the fucking hype people would have if they could literally watch the game for hours yet have to wait to play it?
It's going to be a long while before any of the footage I have goes up.

Actually, I'm pretty sure default objective maps don't have personal ordnance. It's an Infinity SLAYER exclusive.
Why? (If you don't mind me asking.)
The stream was taken down about 15 minutes ago, sorry.

Cool timeline from Reddit. Unfortunately this is incomplete. Maybe HaloGAF could do something like this for the Halo 4 OT? Click for larger version.
