Two players with DMR's can blow up a Falcon.
Yeah, but not in the time it would take for a half-decent Falcon pilot to move behind any kind of cover. Even on the most open map that features a Falcon currently, Abridged, there are multiple towers that can cover the entire route to and from a base. The Falcon's horizontal speed is close to or faster than the Warthog's, and it is significantly more nimble than people give it credit for.

This is Reach. Two people with any human weapon can blow up anything. That doesn't make it good.

I dont see why they changed the vehicle system from what they had in h3. I think I had some of the best times in halo 3 big team.
If you mean vehicle health being tied to shields, then yeah, the Halo 2 and 3 system is still the best, most consistent system. If you're talking about bringing everything over, then no, some vehicles were poorly balanced. The Halo 3 Warthog's turret is incredibly overpowered. The weight of some of those vehicles is pretty weird too. Nothing like being rolled over three times by a single BR on Standoff.

Can't say I agree. Like I said, a good pilot will keep it in the air longer.
Yeah, but Falcon will be very vulnerable while getting to the flag and especially when the carrier tries to get it. Some people here act as if the only moment you have a chance to shoot at the Falcon is the moment they fly away which of course isn't true. And let's not forget that BTB is littered with power weapons anyway. I don't think a fairly competent team has to worry much about a Falcon.

u rite

I'm assuming the 4 reveal is gonna be SP, which I don't really care about unless it's massively different. I'd be happy to be wrong and see MP though.

fuck that... MP.... I want 4 for the campaign but I'd like to go in blind. So I just hope 343 are like bungle a little for halo 2 and 3 anyway, they barely show any SP before release. This is something I usually ignore anyway. So MP all the way.



Or just announce the beta. :p

Hmm, I didn't really think Sprint did that so much as neutering the other player traits. I think I know what you mean, with the inclusion of Sprint leading to base traits be nipped in compensation. But I don't think speed/mobility and Sprint have to be mutually exclusive.

poor sprint :/


<3 sprint please put it in 4 frankle Just make it a basic ability for everyone at all times. I mean Chief can own nubs and stuff but he can't run. :\

I changed my Avatar's gender to Female so I could wear Lara Croft avatar gear from the Guardian of Light. I'm thinking of starting a class-action lawsuit against Microsoft because they limit the clothes you can wear by gender. That seems like a violation of the Constitution in my estimation.

Lemme know if any of you wanna get in on it.

First.
 
Well that's the thing. Yeah you're armored, but the armor is suppose to augment movement, not hinder it.

In the books spartans are portrayed as absurdly fast, mobile, and quick.

In the games they behave very tame.

I thought this would make it so they seem more like actual spartans.
You guys remember at the end of 'Regret' in Halo 2 where the Covenant ship fires on the Chief's position after he kills Regret and just briskly jogs to avoid the the incoming fire? WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT.
 
The only reason I play Action Sack is so I can play BOOM! Ball.

Please give me some BOOM! Ball. Or at least increase the weighting.

They should also add some real fun to play gametypes, we had Zeus and Sumo back in 3... reach's Action Sack is poorly executed.

I hope they start looking for Invasion and Action Sack maps soon.

So Scott Warner at 343 (@scott_343) just tweeted

Hi - we need a little extra level design support on Halo 4 to finish this monster up. Interested in some contract work? Let me know! #Halo4

We should obviously all volunteer? Man, that would probably be a ton of fun; too bad I have no idea what 'level design support' actually means!

I'd sign up for making pictures of possible levels... but I don't know much about level design besides that.

Zeus was one of the worst gametypes I've ever played.

I wonder if he's being serious or not. Halo 4 having some trouble?

Just look to The Covenant, The Ark, the Storm, The Silent Cartographer, and AotCR for inspiration of large levels, and Crow's Nest and the last few moments of High Charity for interior combat.

Do you think level design is that easy? Dax, do you really?

My level design support would be to go through the levels and get rid of all the little crevices in the geometry that you can get your character or grenades stuck in. That shit has been rampant in Halo ever since H3.
