Just because I'm curious, what do you think Halo 4 will improve upon in the series?
See this I just don't get.
I get they want to make Halo in their own way, make it 343's Halo.
But not even allowing Classic Halo settings in customs?
come ON.
will TU BETA SLAYER be making a return? can anyone at 343 confirm? my friends and I are huge TU BETA SLAYER fans and it would be a shame if it gets left behind
See you Day 1
Say goodbye Day 7.
Isn't that like saying we're late on seeing The Flood? Eradicated until further notice.
Assault is the poor man's Capture The Flag, not too saddened by its departure. No new theatre features is pretty fucking lame, though. If they're going to keep it exactly the same as Halo 3's and Reach's, they should have at least tweaked how rewinding worked....
lol.

I'll buy the game from you day 7 at 1 dollar more than gamestop would give you.
Did you ever think that stuff would come back?
Besides. I think the lighting on forge will make the maps feel less dreary.
Because even though the Infinity can simulate any location it chooses civilian gas-mining plants like Adrift and science facilities like Abandon.So now that we know there are no Covenant maps, is this due to it being a massive amount of work with all new textures that can't be repurposed like the Forerunners? Canon reasons? Why?
Hopefully the first DLC pack puts a little more purple in our hearts.
He never said it's useless.. but we all had our reasons for using Theatre mode in Halo 3. His probably was to create a lobby with friends and go through clips of moments during multiplayer.
I never sell my games to Gamestop; CL all the way. But if you give me a dollar more than what GS is SELLING for, you've got a deal.

I am guilty on both counts M'Lord
There's no way for the hacker to test four way (or even two way) party functionality for Halo 4's theatre mode so that could still happen. That's the big ticket for me on theatre two years on from Reach (yea, a feature that was in the five year old Halo 3). If that's not in then i'll be exceptionally disappointed. I care more for theatre than Forge. Surely they can manage that if Blop's 2 is launching with a fully fleshed out spectator mode and live streaming.
If kill-cams are possible then surely we can view all players 1st person perspectives in the theatre now?
Completely forgot about this. Possible in Halo 3, nu uh in Reach.
I'm not necessarily "planning" on it, but I'm assuming based off what I've seen that Blops 2 will be what I'm playing primarily. Also, I get Halo 4 for free.
Realistically, I'll probably hold on to Halo 4 for a few months before I consider selling it.

Nah, this is just the page where everyone suddenly realizes all the negative shit about the game, 9/10ths of which we've known about for at least a month. Kyle's cheeky 1 liners are fueling the fire, in my opinion.

Possibly late and all, but for anyone intersted, the McFarlane Halo 4 figs and vehicles are out now.
Also added this shot.

I have a question to all the people who have played it or analysed the videos...
How long do shields take to recharge after bing shot? Is it more similar to Halo 3 (where you can re-engage a lot faster) or Reach (where you have to sit down and have a coffee before you can re-engage)??
I'm so glad they took away our options to play CTF how we want!

Removing customization options? No, I don't think anyone was hoping for less flexibility.

I thought they had a no purple rule. Makes sense as COD doesnt have purple.
sdkasldkasdk how are you even triggering that kill zone. It's completely under the map. Quick fix time..
edit: oh god i don't even know how this happened :lol
Sticking to their decision to have CTF play a certain way in match making is one thing, but to not have the option for players to be able to customize things like no auto-grab, juggling, etc in custom games is just silly. Even Reach had that option.
I'm so glad they took away our options to play CTF how we want!
This is their game, they want the CTF experience to be different, if you want to play, and create game types where you can drop the flag, why don't you go play any of the other Halo games?
This is their take on the series, think for a moment, what the benefits of not being able to drop the flag might be?
I understand this argument, but clearly its something they want to remain consistent. It seems they want this to remain part of what the 343 Halo is.
You bet, I'm excited to see how this will change how CTF gets played.
Oh God, The Pit with a 3x zoom DMR? Nooooooooooooo

I see a couple clean spots on your wall behind you, may wanna do somethin about that.
Alright, I laughed.
I'm like a charter member of Team SLRP, but fucking lol. How in the fuck could NOT having options be better than having options? What the fuck? I just...I can't...I...
Too many people in CTF don't touch the flag as it is, and would rather shoot up a storm. Maybe this will help keep the flag moving more often, even if it is unintentional.

Halo 4 should be expanding customization options, not pruning them. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
What is the source of these arguments? How are people so sure of the breadth and depth of Halo 4's gametype customization?

Wait, so you're going to play BlOps 2 instead of 4? Just out of curiosity, why?
Halo has always been about OPTIONS. We could choose how we wanted to play. Bungie took out flag juggling in their games, but they gave us an option to add it back in if we want to play it like that in customs!
How is less choice a good thing in your mind?
There are no benefits of not having the option to turn on flag dropping! How could there be a benefit for taking away a custom game option like that?

Yes, because people who play CTF just to slay are totally going to pick up the flag now that it removes your primary weapon and gives you one of the most worthless guns in the game (With Bloom! for added fun!) and doesn't let you drop the flag.
That's some solid developer logic right there. You should consider a career.
Yes, but I'm not sure I want to reveal where. Also, I'm much more... diplomatic... with my reviewer cap on.

Eh, true, it wasn't that bad.

^This. Took the words right outta my mouth lol :b
I used Theater to share with friends so we could watch stuff at the same time. In Halo 3 I used it all the time for those reasons, not possible with Reach. All the other features like pics and films are cool, but personally I don't upload games or screenshots because of how boring/bland I find Reach to be.
OT:
Bonus Round w/ Black Ops 2 - Interesting watch, that game definitely has a ton of great content for CoD fans and seems to be a must-buy for anyone interested in that type of game. The part that interested me the most though was the Zombies mode.. I'm considering BOps2 just to play that B]
Where, then?

So it's been nerfed? It should have the fastest or at least equal to the fastest kill time considering it takes more shots....otherwise whats the point? Dammit, now I'm getting all negative

Probably.
Keep in mind, I'm using past Halo/CoD games to base this assumption on. I just find I have more fun in CoD games where I can be effective as an individual and I'm given much more freedom to move about the map as I see fit. I can take on multiple enemies if I have great aim and use the environment intelligently.
I don't consider CoD games to be competitively viable, but neither do I consider recent Halo games, so I might as well play the one where I can at least be a factor as an individual player. Do I get frustrated in CoD games? Of course (I stopped playing MW2 and 3 because of how shitty they were), but at least the majority of the time I feel like an empowered player who can make an impact with good play.
