On Ravine: "I think it's definitely a good map."

I...um.

On Turf: "I think again, it needed to embrace vehicles better and integrate them more fully."

You're not quite....uh.

That's not really the po-....okay.

Wow I though I was bad...

 

[jem0208]

Yep. That's a journo playing.

Quite possibly the worst player I have ever seen.


He was running backwards with a shotgun. I mean, what?

He ran past another play and then bashed like 3 seconds later. Those reaction times are extraordinary.

They truly are. It actually looks like they're playing with a 2 second imput lag...

 

[tootsi666]

90 % journos can't play anything.

Damn Halo 4 looks amazing.

I want to see some Forge, can't fucking wait moree.

Release the patch already jeez

 

[woodland]

Max has really bad opinions. On everything. The Kynan guy also doesn't make much sense. The things you add to the map that break the flow or ruin something make it good and interesting? Really?

Really?

 

[Diablohead]

MCC halo 4 bought back working kill cams?

There's your "Top Gun" cheevo right there!

HCS sounds interesting, can't wait to see it in action.

Think about it: these are the people who will be reviewing the game.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Think about it: these are the people who will be reviewing the game.

That's not exactly fair. The MCC is going to be bought by people of all skill levels. We shouldn't only let people proficient at a game review it, that's not the only audience.

 

[YourExWife]

Seriously not bashing anyone, but gaming "journalists" are to playing Halo as a blind and deaf movie reviewer is to well, reviewing movies.

 

[singhr1]

Think about it: these are the people who will be reviewing the game.

Sure, some. But there are also going to be a bunch of people who do love and play halo a lot. Every reviewer needs to see the game from varying perspectives. From the person who is jumping in for the first time, the casual player, and the veteran who plays each game for hundreds of hours.

Yes very scary thought. 7.5 MCC rating incoming.

Journalists should really be required to give more information about how they play and perform when posting reviews. I would trust nothing written by most of the people in this game.

Ravine #41

harkens back to Blood Gulch and Coagulation

it's a solid map

changes were made later that also improved the flow

I think it's definitely a good map

We had a lot of fun playing on it

 

[Mix]

I'm really excited for people who never got to play Halo 2 online. It's crazy to think that there are people who post in here who never played a match of CTF on Zanzibar over xbox live

It's even worse with fighting games.

And I'm one of those people. Can't wait.

 

[HaleStorm]

I suppose the opposite could be true though if games were only reviewed by pro level players. With minor imbalances completely tanking a game's review. Still, I think that gaming credentials are just as if not more important than journalism credentials when it comes to game reviews.

 

[nillapuddin]

I like equipment
I would be okay with it in Halo 5

:/

 

[kittens]

I just realized I couldn't remember what map Abandon was. I thought everyone was shitting on Adrift. I feel dumb now.

Abandon is better for everything but CTF. But they're both mediocre maps, so meh.

I get what you're saying, but from my perspective as a huge Halo nerd, I value the analysis of people who understand the deeper intricacies of the games. You can't be that bad at the game and really get it.

IMO, Abandon is a terrible map in every game mode. Adrift is good for CTF and Ricochet, and mediocre for everything else.

Man I really hate the look of the Halo 5 renders. Not because of the armor designs, those I can get used to. But the actual materials on the armor. Gross car paint looking armor. At least those aren't taken from in game. There's still hope left.

They've already said the in game armors will look a lot less glossy

Already confirmed that the materials will be different, don't worry

Well that logo's ruined forever.

Halo 4 looks so amazing from a technical standpoint. And ... The dedicated servers seem to be working very well.

Who the hell is playing?

Watching footage of people who seem like they don't even know how to operate a controller or know basic mechanics is so frustrating.

This depends on how quick the animation is. If it's a very fast animation then this won't make a difference.

I also don't see how that's a negative really. Sounds like the player running off the ledge just outplays the pursuing player in this case. That's actually quite a skillful move.

It's comparable to ninja-ing someone.

Exactly, this isn't the running playing exploiting anything, they're out maneuvering the chasing player.

I can pull this off in Titanfall rather easily, so it's not exactly a high skill maneuver. It's also not a high risk option like a ninja is. What it means is that the pursuing player is at the disadvantage, something that should only be the case if the pursuer overextends their position.

Havok said it better, there's a clarity to the player and the environment in Halo, and ledge grabbing severely blurs the lines between the two.

 

[Ajemsuhgao]

sheesh.

I can't have an oponion about the renders? I very clearly stated I didn't like them, not their final in game representation. On top of that, I just skimmed the last page and saw a couple posted. That's it. I don't follow every post in this thread, so I had no idea of what was said about them. Plus, of course it's far from finished. It's a render done outside of the game engine.
