absolutely, you can play classically with no medals in CE and originals in 2, or you can play with Bungie's original medals in both, or the New age 343 medals.

What about Halo 3? I thought all of the games are getting the new medals.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
Fred, Kelly, and Linda were around, IIRC.
edit: Probably unrelated to Spartan Strike though.
None of this makes sense. :sedit2: So... the new vehicle is basically a Ghost? :s
Nah, Halo 3 isn't getting that touched. Just the originals.
the post you quoted literally says "you can play classically with no medals in CE" lol

Can the H2A Banshee fire banshee bombs or just plasma cannons?
both, just like in Halo 2

Unless I'm reading this wrong. Halo CE(PC) only has no medals and new medals. Halo 2 Classic has off, classic, and new medals.

v The build that they used at the tournaments had the Banshee Bomb. Not sure if it has been changed since.

I stand by what I said. you could do both in MP
Oh, okay, I see. My bad, I mean what the medals looked like in 2,3 and ODST. you can play Halo CE just like you did in 2001 with no medals.

Only way it could have been better would be if he killed 3 more players immediately after...
Alas, it was not to be.

There is no reason a player should receive a medal for a normal kill.
What happened to medals being special?
I don't need a medal for a BR kill, a medal for a headshot, a medal for not getting killed, a medal for looking at the enemy player, a medal for using my scope, and a medal for throwing a grenade to do some damage every time I get a kill.
This isn't about the fact that it can be turned off either. That's great but this isn't a feature I should turn off.
As for UI with waypoints etc. Halo 2 and 3 got it perfect. If it ain't broke...
That said the game looks great. Ready to play some halo.

Video on IGN was so good that I didn't even read the article:
Jesus h christ, Halo 4 still looks fucking incredible. Can't imagine it in 1080/60 and I can't even imagine how good the campaign in H5 is gonna look...

Damn lol
Halo PC with 3rd person hack was fun. Didn't play MP with it but single player.
A skull that enables 3rd person for campaigns would be awesome.
Yeah. 343 did a really, really good job extracting power from the 360. Halo 4 is stunning.
This would be so much fun.

Except for those flat Ragnarok ground textures, those never looked good. Though really it's crazy how good Halo 4 still looks.

Halo 4 needs a 3rd person skull, would have been rather cool.

Fans should find it offensive how these maps have less color and more rocks than Halo 4 maps. What happened to the beautiful colors? Why must you hate colors, 343? Don't hate colors.Shoutouts to these flag indicators
Bloodline should look as good as this. Halo should look as good as this. Much more vibrant.
First farcas and now this shit.. These are the scrubs making our Halo OT's.
For shame.

Everything but the Hunter's fuel rod cannon looked great to me. It looked like a homing plasma rifle shot. Looked incredibly lame and underpowered to me.

New:
Wonder why they thought that was fitting? The hunters look amazing, but the gun needs to be a big blast...it indicates it's power, especially considering they can one shot you in legendary.

This just made me laugh so much for some reason,

What!? I guess that comes from an early build, because it looks incredibly lame. Almost any weapon in the game would look more menacing that this. And they're goddamn Hunters!
I hope it's properly fixed in the release version.

Looks like they're firing from a blue needler.

it has to just be an "early build " thing. I couldn't legit believe they'd do that to the hunter's cannon

I might be easier to code the projectiles as individual bolts then just throw a green beam skin over it. Or the Hunters have joined the Fallen.
thats kind of what I was thinking.

Yep, must be a placeholder.

I certainly hope so. Mr. Frank Stinkles said on the gaming side that everything shown is at least a month old or more. If that is a placeholder I'm not sure why they would show it. *shrug*
I'm not ungrateful, everything looks TH3 S3X, but that made me pause the video and raise my eyebrows.
