Halo 4 - Media blow out

I hope its not a map that's already been remade. Blood Gulch and Lockout were both done already with poor results.

I'd say it probably isn't a map already remade, the maps in Reach Anniversary Map Pack were partially chosen because they hadn't been remade before, i reckon 343i does the same with Halo 4.

We know the map is "not-small" and it was chosen because it plays well even with armor abilities and sprint.

Way too easy. Reach ones were just sponges, but pretty scary up close.

I'd like to see Reach Hunters, bit ala Halo: CE have a quick way to take them down with skill.

I said act

So like... No weird over the head clubbing

And being harder to kill while keeping the original traits would be most excellent

Awesome thread. The media's looking so good, hopefully we can play Solace at NYCC.

I am a bit worried about Solace because while it takes inspiration from Narrows, it seems to have way more CQC/tight-corrider moments than Narrows did.

It's certainly more complex than Narrows and I'm not sure that's an applicable comparison. Getting top mid on Narrows was super important. The middle of this map doesn't seem like the place to hold. There are towers that look down on the middle of the map. Looks really good for CTF, Assault and Slayer.

I don't have an x360 anymore (no, I didn't sell it), but I have to say that looks amazing based on those screenshots. One of the more impressive things I've seen lately, considering the hardware.

anyone know if they're going to have a classic mode sorta like anniversary ? no AAs at all, and (now) no ordnance drops, perks, kill cams, blah blah?

1. Speculation so far on the remake points to SandTrap. Don't ask me why, just what i've heard

2. There will be a vanilla playlist. There HAS to be. if not, imma die.

Cosigned. Anyone who doesn't think Bungie's next game is going to look amazing is cray.

Hype. Massive amounts of hype.

And I totally agree. 343 looks to be doing a really great job taking the franchise to the next step, and breathing fresh new life into it, but I would never discount Bungie's accomplishments.

This is a great interview. A nice laid bad chat, informative and not too spoiler heavy. Good interviewer.
But horrible camera. Keep that shit steady, show the both at once.

We know there might be a stripped down playlist. NOT something that tries to replicate earlier Halos but just stripped down.
Details about playlists come later, closer to launch. As i understood it from Stinkles' and Lybertyboy's posts.

They already said it's going to be a big map.

It's either Valhalla, Waterworks or Sandtrap.

I'm hoping for the first.

They didn't say it is big, they said "not-small". That doesn't exclude medium-sized maps. What you list are all large.

I was browsing through and I didn't see it mentioned.... but did anyone else notice?

Should be interesting. I'll check it out. I'm 100% on board. The old Jackals were too birdlike. But they only seem so now... after seeing the superior 343 model.

Well, then you and me are among the rare people who apparently like the new model.

But as always, the discussion is looping, because me and others don't accept each others arguments. We're bad at arguing. Me especially, i tend to hold my opinion as superior.

Halo: CE jackals were beast.

Especially the ones with blue shields and helmets.

I miss those fuckers.

(I do like the new model. They look intimidating for the first time.)

I miss the way the Jackals acted in Halo CE. They were more numerous there than in later games and the shields... the damn shields were nearly impossible to penetrate. It was fun to see them forming a phalanx... in later Halos, they don't form tight enough phalanx and they're too few, and they break the damn formation too easily as well.

I know i won't be picking up the flag. Of course i doubt i'll play CTF (unless end up in it due to HaloGAF) but regardless, i won't touch the flag no matter how much i'm being yelled at.
Unless someone picks me up with a vehicle right away.
well being the flag carrier in the previous games is awesome because of getting some flag kills. running around a corner quickly turning around to thump the guy who was chasing you. or dropping the flag and reveal to everyone that you have a rocket launcher at the ready. stuff like that is fun. now what? you cant drop the flag and your going to fumbling with your handgun. psh.

The flag is still one-hit melee. But the enemies know always where you're.
Not fun.
I'll probably stick to Infinity Slayer and Dominion. Assuming Dominion has its own playlist and is BTB sized or it is in BTB and heavily weighted and voted for.
 
Is the Halo site getting a update too? Cause that's the only thing that really bugs me now. I really preferred Bungie.net for the stats and files and all that. Seemed to have a better layout.

They talked about Waypoint integration a while back. At most they have said around launch you will hear something.
 
IGN-"but to the eye you’d be forgiven for believing this is a fresh piece of next-generation tech. That’s not hyperbole; Halo 4 is a clear leap over any and all of its predecessors, with an obvious fidelity boost that has the game runing in actual 1280x720 resolution, which should please those sticklers who noted that previous Xbox 360 Halos technically ran a few pixels below the native HD specification. It’s sharp, it’s crisp, and it’s gorgeous."

AMEN
 
What a way to send my 360 to retirement. It is just amazing how far Halo has come this gen alone. And it's even more amazing that they still have a huge focus on local MP which to me is the most fun aspect of the Halo series.
