343 needs to accidentally upload solace on soundcloud again. That track alone convinced me to buy the OST.

Although if they are feeling happy enough to show them now, chances are they are close to final
I posted that in response to the lack of a SWAT hopper. I'm sure they may tweak and add playlists anytime between now and launch. They hoppers will probably be solidified the day before launch.
Guests allowed on playlists was so terrible from h3 onwards
That's another reason the way halo 2 handled everything was quite a bit better than every game since
I want everyone's full attention
And I want everyone to have something they can lose
Incentive is what drives competitive multiplayer
Just because its mechanics are competitive doesn't make it so. Just like chess.
^Agreed. I worked hard in Halo 3 to get my rank up in a couple of playlists. Even if on the backend the visible rank is not making any difference in who I am actually playing, it allowed for the perception of player skill improving. Without anything visible to work for, there's a very real sense of what's the point? Or at the very least they could do the Halo 3 thing where wins in a playlist go towards a rank in that playlist; it wouldn't necessarily indicate a skill level, but it would at least give you something to work for, and to show off how much you've played in that playlist. CoD works in that regard because while what Prestige someone is on is literally no indication of skill (I once saw a 10th Prestige who had a .12 K/D) it at least is something to work towards, and shows other people that hey, I've played this a lot.
If that's true then like I mentioned before they need to clarify that now. They're just allowing disappointment to spread as more time passes. I also don't buy that there's a ranking system, there's no reason they wouldn't have talked about it by now. Or if it's there it's one of those "check out your rank on Waypoint" kind of things which no one gives a shit about.

Why should they clarify content that only people with stolen copies can see?

Because it's the final retail copy as exists right now, and if that's not what it's going to actually be day one (ie if they're doing a day one patch) they should nip it in the bud now. Every forum I go to is people spreading gloom and doom about these playlists. Even if they don't go into specifics, if there is going to be a day one patch they can just come out and say that there will be a day one patch that will make some changes to any information going around. Stems the tide of negative sentiment and gives people hope that what they want will be in.

but that might hurt someone's feelings if they work hard to get to level 12 and level down to level 11

Whats the ViDoc?
according to dax, its a mp vidoc (10-15 minutes, some spartan ops stuff and a little bit of the campaign).
Then only have that in "ranked" playlists, and have playlist-specific ranks in the other playlists that only go up (via EXP from wins) just like Halo 3. Everyone wins.

wow Tashi really choked on that railgun shot lol.
"Fucking Manits is top middle"
So it begins.
Mantis looked OP from that video, although obviously the guys at NYCC can comment on that.
Good gameplay though

edit nvr mind
So have they announced if they allowed DLC armor, beyond the ones we already know about, to be a possibility.

I wish Bungie 343 realized this type of ranking system is what separated them from everybody else. I had to care about my rank. I would play better. I would have more clutch and intense moments.

Nice. Thanks.
Yes, Slayer Pro is classic spawns.
Give Halo 4 LoL's ELO rating system and watch the salt and trolling levels skyrocket.
I hope so. I love me some cosmetics.

Yo, any news on ranks??
Or you ghost every playlist
When selecting a playlist you select casual or competitive
When matchmaking it attempts to find someone of "equal" rank. If no casual players found it finds competitive players from a lower rank but hides the ranks from that players view
You don't see the ranks of the people you are facing, only your own team... (Or see an averaged rank)
When you select casual or competitive... Your team can only consist of whatever you chose
When you play competitive... You are matched against your skill level. When choosing casual... You are matched against people who are your skill in casual or competitive (whichever is highest of the two)
When you have guests... Every player matched is casual
Yadda yadda

I think someone said there is still the ordnance system. I am not sure though.

Yeah... It already looks like it's going to be an issue. :-|
The ordnance system is still in place, but see it as visual upgrade. Weapons still spawn at specfic places and times.
I was watching Halo Council's video on it, and they said classic spawns.

I got enough money from a Dutch airline for the trip. If that had not happened, I'd not have been here.

Um, no. There was no time for a Q&A. By time it was 4:45 Alison was asked to wrap it up because the hall had to be filled for the next panel.
Microphones were set up for it, but they rand out of time.

The most apparent was 6:10-6:25, where you can crossmap people from the sniper area on the right side allll the way over at the downed pelican with precise accuracy on the left.
