I am probably the only one out there that wants bloom and armor abilities back in Halo 4. But make them optional. Keep the elements of the core Halo in and also have the availability of the elements that changed the pace of the gameplay. They are great concepts but were poorly executed in Reach. If it is done right, then I would gladly welcome it as an option in Halo 4.

BRING ON THE HATE!!!

Replace bloom with recoil/weapon weight, make AAs better is what I personally wanted.

 

[FyreWulff]

They can change the damage of the pistol though right? Make it pop shields after 2 shots? this would probably make it 4 shots to the body for a kill though, which would still be terrible.

Anniversary Classic needs bleedthrough, I hope this is a communication error or something.

Yeah, the other solution is 2 shots to the body to pop shields, which as you said has it's own host of implications, and veers away from the Halo 1 simulation.

 

[Gazzawa]

Also, random, but I called their not being a public beta for H4.

Your medal is in the post....

 

[aDDiKt24]

Yep, my 3 basic rules about gamers.


1. Gamers don't know what they really want until it's given to them.

2. Everything old is always better than anything new.

3. They will find a reason to bitch about anything, no matter how good it is.



Junior is not long for this world.

Sucking up to developers and ratting out people getting into a demo did a lot to your credibility around here and in other forums. Did it land you a job yet?

 

[Danis]

I don't know if this has been expressed enough yet, but I absolutely love that they are trying to make the armor look functional. The Chief's armor has always looked like a bunch of metal plates slapped over kevlar. Now it seems to have function. I mean, it's power armor, not BMX armor. I'm loving the new design. That goes for the Spartan IV's in MP too.

 

[Captain Blood]

Oh, so this is where all the real Halo discussion is happening. The one on the gaming side is so... GAF.

I haven't even looked in the gaming side threads. Not worth it.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Small nitpick: The Spartan armor looks a bit flat, texture and lighting wise. I would love to see a little more pop with the texture and lighting on the armor like early Halo 3 shots

 

[senador]

WOW. The game looks tits. I hate that phrase, but it seems fitting here.

Sure, I'll remain a bit skeptical until we see more, but this small look gave me a lot more faith in 343. That looks and sounds so good. I'm not sure about perks and abilities of sorts, but I'm not ashamed to admit I was glad to see sprint there.

Halo 4!

 

[Der Flatulator]

This is starting to fly around the interwebs. Confirm/deny? The bulletin seemed to come off like bleedthrough was a seperable component, so it wouldn't make sense that Anniversary Classic would have to lose bleedthrough as well.

Horrible grammar for Jess, likely a troll. I'll look into it.

 

[Risen]

Dude, really? Come on man...
!

So you liked how the AA's were implemented in Reach, loved Bloom, thought the change in the pistol from Beta to final release was great, liked inertia such that you could not strafe, adored the lower jump height, and could not get enough of the map design.

Check.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Wolf emblem on red team?

Misriah logo on the BR?

Match made in heaven.

hmm... maybe the Red and Blue teams represent different weapon manufacturers completing for ONI Contracts by having their equipment tested in death matches =p

[Oozer3993]

Everyone speculating about the scoreboard should note that there are other numbers beside the scoreboard... It's 2-1 to the blue team in the strafing gif.

I think that's just the current place in the game, i.e. 1st place and 2nd place. Those numbers didn't change during either time in the footage when a player was killed.

 

[FyreWulff]

Horrible grammar for Jess, likely a troll. I'll look into it.

Here's the thread. I tried to ask if someone actually checked if it was legit, but the forum is back to eating posts already. Someone needs to take a defib to Waypoint.

It wasn't really meant as an all serious factual blanket statement for all people/gamers everywhere. It's more of a general "personality" of gamers joke.
Let's not get crazy here...

My overall point was that developers emphatically do NOT necessarily know what makes better game play. Sorry if not clear... quick posting by phone lol.

I didn't actually say they did, just that gamers don't know what they really want until they get it.


On topic.

I was deployed when Halo 2 was out. How did clans work in it?

 

[Ken]

Radar looks flat in that gif. Hopefully that means it no longer shows enemies at different elevations than you? Also, looks like it leaves a little mark in the direction of allies that aren't in radar range?

 

[Kuroyume]

Anyone have a post somewhere with everything released so far? Pics and videos? Too many posts to have to go through right now.

A second list similar to your Friends List. Clans could also be up to 100 people I believe.

Wow, that's awesome. More games need that.

 

[Tashi]

Their looks to be elevation indicators on the dots. You'll see an arrow point up or down for both enemies and teammates. And yea, you're second question seems to be true.

Hm, I haven't seen it in HD yet so I didn't notice the arrows on enemy and ally markers.

E: Okay, I see it now.

So after bringing up valid points about the positives of the footage, as well as negatives. Then being told by shogun that I will/should be banned, I cannot defend myself with historically correct facts?

Is this real life?

Played 6-8 player matches in Minor Clanmatches which were slayer/objectives, and in Major Clanmatch it was 12-18 players. You rank up as a Clan, no matter who played in said games, like you normally would in regular Team Slayer, Rumble Pit, Team Skirmish, etc.

I was hoping for Cocop or Voc to be hidden in there somewhere.

I've been watching Plywood's gifs for the past hour now. Sooo goood.

Did clans get skill ranked? Man, that sounds awesome as hell. I would definitely want something like that in Halo 4 (or any other game).

Thanks

No problem

 

[lybertyboy]

Cocop is in that gif.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

Finally cought up with this thread, so much awesomeness!

BR looks cool, always preferred it over the DMR
I'm still skeptical about the perk/armor thing. I've it's done right, it could be awesome.

I think the Spartan 4's fighting each other in multiplayer will be simulations while firefight is going to be actual missions for the Spartan 4's.

 

[FyreWulff]

Wait, doesn't MLG make use of bleedthrough as well? That could get interesting if it disappears from there too..

 

[Plywood]

So there's a subtle HUD bob: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=f6UL63Zo-uo#t=190s

.gif of it:

 

[Striker]

Yes, you were ranked as group, no matter who played in the games.

 

[The Real Napsta]

Oh yeah, the TU pistol doesn't pop shields anymore. I hope they fix that too now that bleed-through is gone.

 

[Homeboyd]

Everything has processed and been digested.

Ready to see more.

 

[Der Flatulator]

Yes, it could.......

 

[DMeisterJ]

It'd be so nice if "Holiday 2012" meant a September launch. It looks so amazing and waiting all the way to a probable November launch is gonna be hard.

 

[op_ivy]

can i get a gif of the nanomachine built logo?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

I just noticed something that I didn't see anyone talking about.

Sprint is back. (was this brought up yet? If so, my bad.)

Yeah, need that.

Has this forum become soft? What did he say wrong?

 

[Risen]

I really really hope not. Was just talking to Jazzy about MLG being the last bastion of decent Reach with ZB and bleedthrough.

Hope so.

If they want to put a story spin on multiplayer, definitely could be Spartan 4 training. Weeding out candidates for full modification.

I see the HUD bob sweet.

It already looks like you move at Anniversary speed... sprint gun' be fast.

Yeah, need that.

and no visible sprint bar

So kind of like Assassins Creed multi?

MLG controls their playlist.

I didn't say it was keeping track of kills.
