Everything looks good but the infinitely refreshing, high range radar. Just chunks up the idea of flanking and, as the stream shows, ruins what should be exciting "what is he doing and how can I counter it?" close quarter combat.

Halo 4 online (Big Maps) = battle for the unbalanced Mech suit.

Just got a new wireless 5.1 headset for this and Forza Horizon. One of the best gaming purchases I've made in a while.
My ears are ready.
That was hilarious. You could tell he was getting a little pissed.
Someone needs to gif that.
Nice what kind of heatset did you get? I've been looking into getting one.
They're about to play extraction on the live feed

Extraction on Meltdown should be interesting.. Meltdown looks awesome, and I really haven't seen Extraction.

Well, he is a handsome young man. Good luck, Tashi!
The only gun sound that I can't get on board with is the pistol. Everything else is absolutely spectacular, though.
Yay, Extraction! Cosmic Disco Ball Gun, woo!

Turtle Beach XP400. Wireless 5.1 and wireless Bluetooth chat with the Xbox. The wireless uses different frequencies too so as not to interfere with my nearby wireless router and gear. I'm sure there are better headsets out there, but this was the right mix of ease, capability and price for my setup. You can usually find them on sale too.
Now I can avoid pissing off the neighbors while maxing out engine sounds in Horizon. And yeah, the audio work for Halo 4 sounds absolutely incredible - can't wait. The initial reveal trailer felt like it was just yesterday. Soooo close to Halo 4 and my days off.
Single fire vs Burst fire each provide benefits depending upon the situation (ie. extreme range and when firing on the move).

One is better up close, the other isnt.

DMR = Long range (to mid)
BR = Mid range (to short)
You can use the DMR all the time, but the BR is a bit easier at closer ranges to hit with due to hitscan and triple burst.

Different people prefer one to the other, they decided not to have it be an either or choice?

I like this twist on a simple concept. Keeps the game moving yet maintains some level of strategy
There are 4 main rifles: DMR, BR, Carbine, and Lightrifle. These are all sidegrade primary weapons that you can choose to spawn with (+the automatic weapons), to support how you personally play rather than being forced into a certain playstyle as in past games.
Vortex has a nice Halo 2-ish pallet. Removal of film grain makes a world of difference even though it would otherwise look like a Reach map.
It's like your current gf and your ex meeting for the first time.

So we install Disc 1, then boot it up, it'll prompt us to put in Disc 2 from in-game and we install from there.
That right?
That right?
Me too! I just dropped abomb for some 7.1 Tritton Warheads.
How they can claim they are 7.1 is beyond me. The 360 doesn't output a 7.1 signal and headphones only have 2 speakers :/
Bring back Armor Lock.
That would only be true if the M6D was returning in full force. ;_;
The only thing you install is disc 2.

Does Halo4 have fall damage or health packs?
As I've said in the past, I wish Halo games launched with more than 9 or 10 maps.
I quickly tire of playing the same maps within a month.
In my dreams, Halo4 would release with 10 new maps, plus every map from Halo3 + Reach, that are still on my HDD.

You should honestly jut put disc 2 in first and then you are good to go.
Is the Carbine actually on-par with the BR (by extension the DMR and presumably the Lightrifle) ala Halo 3 Beta?
It was, then it was nerfed :/

Yeah, sounds like it has a silencer on it.
I understand it much better now.
Other than the flags (nodes) don't stay in the same spots.
Also, I hope at some point they uncover the skill rankings; just so you can keep track of your personal progress. Tournaments are good, but that's not really something you work towards all the time. SC2 rankings dangit!
Most of the maps in Reach are waaaay too small for all the sprinting,jumping and instant respawns of Halo 4.
