Oh my God the hammer noises.
Grifball!
Also serious question: have the people talking about killcams being jacked (outside of the forge piece issue) ever played Call of Duty? That's seriously just how they are; the two parties are going to see different things, and the game is going to display the log in probably a third and different way. Welcome to a new rage inducing thing I've been experiencing for years!
Edit: Oh my god, the hammer sounds weak and shitty. What..what the fuck. Despite my long rants about some problems I have with the game I was still looking forward to it mostly; this livestream is really turning my opinion around on this quickly.

And I thought the fancy new Forge innovation was baked shadows for Forge objects...
Also, no shadows in the Griffball arena. Come on!

That also had matchmaking though, didn't it?

Is is confirmed that there are no changes to theater?
That's the problem! We don't know, and we haven't been deemed worthy of that information yet, so this is all we have to go with for now.

Hammer sounds like a fucking joke

Seeing 343 dedicate time to griftball and infection now annoys me knowing there is no ranks lol. I understand they say they are still working on things, but the fact they have heard our opinions on the issue for some time now just makes things more upsetting.

Damn red team, step your Grifball game up
Both I believe, literally zero negative effect on it either.

What's the link for the stream?

Are we forgetting the dynamic lighting Forge objects are meant to have now?
There's no matchmaking, only a quick match option. For the first 6 (?) months it only had DICE servers, though. They introduced player owned servers alongside the DICE ones longer after launch. Personally I think it works fine, the occasional banhappy admin aside.
Yes, but it seems that shadows from the actual map still don't seem to work well with Forge objects. If an object is half in the shadow and half in the open it will show up as either lit up or completely dark, not half-half.

Yeah those sideways gamertags suck. I didnt want to comment until I had enough time to look - but after checking it out for so long the sideways text is still more annoying to read. Why not just put the gamertag above the card to the left of where the audio icon sits? Right now it just floats there. (Oh that wouldnt work either because of the way the cards stack. Its a confusing UI for sure.)

It is certainly not ideal that we're finding out this stuff from a stream of a pirated copy of the game.
But then... 343 have, at least until the last few weeks, been pretty patchy about communicating their choices themselves.
Can't believe you have to unlock backgrounds for emblems. CHASIN' THAT COD MONEY SON
Again to everyone tuning in now: spoilers are heavy in the stream chat, hide the chat ASAP if you don't want to see them!
not sure if serious
Also if MP settings are not 100% set in stone at this point, we have serious fucking problems.

No one gives a fuck about multiplayer spoilers. In fact, this entire year we've been wanting more and more information on that

This is so wrong. You cannot have one game with two different systems and NOT have them interfere with each other in any way. Every player that is using the CGB is a player that could help satisy the population for a Matchmaking system. To say there is literally zero negative effect tells me you have no idea what literally means or what a single negative effect even is.

Serious question? Multiplayer doesn't have (meaningful) story content that people are invested in.

As far as killcams go - im fine with them being in most modes - and I dont care if they are slightly wonky - its nice to get a general idea of what weapon the guy was using and so on - it doesnt matter that the game doesnt replicate his aim properly. Its the same way with CoD, if you acknowledge that the killcam is wonky from a reticule and aim point of view, but use it to see flanking and positioning it works.
I thought the whole uproar was over the fact that the game is stolen.
I mean, you guys did post the tweet from Holmes about the thieves ruining the experience. *shrug*

Listening to this while watching the stream and reading this thread feels appropriate lol.

Does that stop the content being pirated or stolen? Serious question.

I can't get a handle on how it works, but it sounds neat.. Mix it with Dominion and you may have Invasion 2.0 fun edition.
:lol
Are you kidding me? My god.

Because there's no such thing as a MP spoiler.
It's MP, that's not relevant!

I'm not watching the stream, but forge pieces really don't show up in kill cams? I'm gonna assume that's a glitch that rarely happens.
Hydranockz
Member
Exactly! It doesn't matter at all that the game is stolen, at least we get to see the game we all want to play at the expense of the company that made it.

happened during the entire flood game.
killcams look like utter shit. how did that even get approved when it looks so awful?
not watching the stream, whats the issue? does it show crazy lag or something?

Reticules are wrong colour
Forge pieces don't show
Vehicles vanish
