So am I the only one here fantasizing about jumping off a high place and supermaning to the ground with ground pound (hopefully killing a vehicle on the way down)?
I disagree with the mountain molehill analogy.
If what Quinn said is true, and the rest of the abilities are integrated with each other like clamber is, then I can see there being a easy to learn hard to master thing going on for all the abilities. Ground pound has more use than just for hitting a guy below you too. It can be used for traversal as seen in a specific fight in a video that I can find in a moment.
This reminds me. Is anyone else bothered by some of the interiors of Halo 4's forerunner architecture? I know they're aliens and all but while some of them are really beautiful and look like they had a purpose, most of the time I'm just wondering what the fuck the buildings were designed for. Where's the places they ate at? Where are the homes? Or the places of recreation? I might be over thinking it I guess.
Reach was a solid campaign but it did feel limited yeah.
It actually might be easier than Halo 3 though yeah. It's been a while since I've played through it though. I've only played it like... twice.

Composer was a really solid level. Like you said it's a shame how Midnight just kinda becomes... lame towards the end. To be fair it's hard to top SUPER AWESOME TRENCH RUN SPACE MISSILE AA BATTLE SHIELD DESTROYER. Which is probably why that should have been an ending segment for a level as opposed to an opening.

Halo 4's difficulty was fake difficulty because it used cheap tactics. Hated it so much.

Watched the trailer and I had the stupidest grin on my face.

HaloGAF, in yet another attempt to get 343 to hire me, I bring you more fan-created hype music/fan soundtrack by me.
Check it out
I based it off what we've heard in the Halo 5 Beta videos so far. Orchestra and electric guitar with a middle-eastern/phrygian vibe.

Sounds really good dude
BF4 is the best shooter out on current consoles, just stay away from boring Conquest. ;p
Endings are hard to do. Really, We've had one good ending, two bad endings, and a rehash of the good ending again with the mainline Halo games. The gameplay before then weren't really novel departures either, which I think is part of the problem; Halo has such a good combat loop and sandbox that it would be kind of weird to throw it all out for some big finale. But I'm not sure what would sell the final gameplay segments for Halo 4--clearly just clearing towers around the enemy wasn't great, and only getting to dispatch the Didact with a QTE wasn't all that fun (but then again neither was fighting Tartarus.)
As for "home" environments, we've never really seen any. Halo 4 and the Greg Bear novels kind of offer an out in that regard, in that it shows that the Forerunner could reshape large parts of their vessels and environment to suit their needs, and that like Chief they had a large amount of self-sufficiency in their armor. But yeah, considering that they went through the effort to make the rings, etc, navigable by on-foot Forerunners, it's odd they didn't have any sort of living arrangements or accommodations. I guess you could always say those were on another part of the ring...
But whenever I test it, I don't see any height increase.
If there's one thing I will commend Destiny for, its their raids (and the core gameplay is solid but that only gets you so far). The boss fights in the raids are interesting and fun to do. Though they are completely focused on co op so you'd need to figure out a way to make that into a boss fight that works one on one. I mean I'd love to see a cool 1v1 fight but since Halo is mostly based around shooting and its melee system doesn't really have much going for it you might have trouble pulling it off. I don't know maybe for Halo 5 they could have a boss fight that has some new mechanics introduced that are exclusive to that fight and aren't anywhere else in the game.
If they could make the boss fight incredibly fun and badass then I think it could've worked out as an end game thing. That QTE was just so bad though. The trench mission imo should've been the ending for the second to last level and transitioned to the final level. Make it so you are coming off a high and then have it slowly ramp up again to the final battle.

Being able to crouch mid strafe was one of the best improvements to Halo's strafing abilities.
Yeah I guess you could go with that.
It's just, I figured we would see SOMETHING on Requiem that gave insight into their culture. Cities maybe. I mean with the Halo rings it's more acceptable since nothing was really meant to live there for a long time (it's a preservation as opposed to a home if that makes sense). However the Shield Worlds were meant to be new homes to stay in until the flood was gone. So why is there nothing to indicate that something might've lived there?
I've always wanted to see this kind of stuff. Evidence of a lost civilization that doesn't just look like a pretty machine or a giant computer ya know?

CQ large ain't bad Ram, but it ain't competitive.
They've really improved rush lately though.
Also people, go get PvZ, how many times must I state this!
Never played it myself but it is on EA Access. So if you want to try it for a month it'll only cost you £4 or $5.
You also get BF4, Peggle 2 and a bunch of other games.
Did they remove the bots? Because if not, lol.

But you guys.. Halo 4 BTB has standard loadouts too that doesn't allow Plasma Pistols and Plasma Grenades, rather only allow you to choose between different weapons (ie: DMR, BR, etc.) with the same perks activated.
This BTB in Halo 4 is pretty fun. No one is arguing custom loadouts in Halo 4 BTB is ideal ;'[

I like the bots. Really sells the scale of the conflict. They're no replacement for players, but then, they're not supposed to be.

TF is fun, but I find it very very casual.
Everyone I play with says the same thing, 'I don't care about my deaths in this game'.
Which isn't a bad thing, but we don't take the game seriously.
The sequel does have immense potential though.

Bots are fine for offline, they have no place in an online FPS, if you want to be competitive anyways. But as Elzar said, the game just came off as super casual, not for me.

That was awesome!
Halo style combat with Titanfall movement please god yes
It's definitely pretty casual, but damn, it's the most fun I've had on an FPS in a very long time.
Yeah, they're nice distractions when you can't find a real person to kill.
This is what I wanted 5 to be ._.
Maybe the thrusters will be awesome enough, we'll see. I still want a double jump though.
Edit: If the thrusters in 5 are as satisfying to use as the dashes in Titanfall then it could be amazing.
This. THIS. SO MUCH THIS!!
This is what I've been hoping for since Titanfall and while Halo 5 movement isn't quite there yet, it's a start.
TF wouldn't work with a shield system.
Shield recharge disabled during any TF related element.
Soooo, the whole time then, lol.

Just tried to beat the first level of CE with LASO.
My soul hurts.
My soul hurts.
I'd like to see how Halo would play with Titanfalls movement since it isn't limited by things like ADS. That's a major game changer I think. Maybe they can try it out in a spin off.
Well that's a simple fix. Just get a bigger glass of water.

"near future" could have been said with better words
like next week or weeks, i can understand its not easy to give a timeframe, but saying something like "near future" doesnt help the reader that much tbh

Well considering the last update has fixed mm to where I find matches in 2-3 mins, I say keep throwing more water on it.

When I finish Halo 4 if there's no sign of improvement I think I'll try the refund option. I mean I did all the games on legendary but I'm not even touching any half assed matchmaking, apparently for a while. I'm not even mad, I haven't tried MM in weeks because there's no point. All we can do is wait.
Might as well spend the 60 on GTA and maybe get the MCC next year when it's finally fixed.
This isn't a childish "oh I want a refund!" just because Im fresh out of a bad match post like the rest, but it's of no use to me without perfectly functioning matchmaking.
Thanks again 343.

1. The game is released since 2 1/2 weeks.
2. If you haven't even tried, what is your comment based on then ...?
3. Maybe you should at least try it after the latest patch?
4. The H2A playlist is working really well for me.
5. "I drove 50.000 miles with this car - but then I asked for a refund because the air conditioner is not working".
6. I understand the point you are making. Still sounds pretty "oh I want a refund" if you don't even give it a chance by trying.
7. If you feel like you want a refund and the game isn't worth it for you, just do it.

I played like 20 matches. Stopped trying on the 14th. My friends still play and tell me they get uneven teams etc
Im not about that playing half working games life. What's the point in playing it kinda working? Might as well just wait until it's all working properly. Had a blast running through the campaigns again though.
This is a stupid fucking point. The difference between multiplayer in a Halo game and the AC in a car are not comparable. One is a major selling point, the other is almost irrelevant in regards to the value.
Unless you buy cars based on how well the AC works, and in thay case... Well...

So is no one doing machinima for Halo anymore? That was just cinematics spliced together. I was expecting some machinima in that
