King of the Hill time - wonder if we will see anything different.

 

[Plywood]

I guess they realized every BTB game turned into Slayer anyway and cut out the middleman :lol

16 people with personal ordnance clusterfuck, hoooooo

Personal ordnance becomes a weapon when you have it drop on your opponents head.

 

[MrDaravon]

Stream is fine for me at 720p+ for whatever reason.

Slayer Pro and Infinity Slayer both seem pretty solid overall if that's your thing; I think my disappointment is more because Slayer was never the main gametype we ever played.

The chat is making my blood boil.

Had to hide the chat. So full of trolls.

Remix contest submission by a buddy of mine, feedback would be appreciated as much as votes.

[bobs...onGaf]

Kind of curious how EGL chooses its pro-players who get to play.

 

[Korosenai]

I would really like to see something besides Haven and Adrift lol

[Conor 419]

Dominion looks really fun.

So, how exactly can you forge a dominion base? What can you change about them?

 

[Tha Robbertster]

I can't believe how sad the CTF changes, lack of ranking system and personal ordnance are making me. I thought I was kinda over it but watching the BTS kinda rekindled my disappointment with the direction of the game.

[Booties]

So good to watch MLG players make this game look good. Makes me feel better about the AAs

 

[kittens]

None of these guys in the stream are sprinting. I don't think they know it's there...

I'm pretty sure you forge the bases yourself and you add Dominion related items like Auto Turrets, Vehicle Pads, Capture Points, Shield doors, etc. And you probably use something like Spawn Sequence to tie everything to a particular base. Something set to Spawn Sequence 1 is Alpha, 2 is Bravo, and 3 is Charlie. Just an assumption right now, but it makes sense.

It will probably break peoples phones when they try and mobile browse. It will also potentially take out a chunk of their monthly bandwidth.

Be considerate and remove it man.

 

[Booties]

I like how they can't name a single character's name from reach. He says "I think John is one of them....Oh wait that's the master chief"

great. if i click it chrome goes blue. d/l fast though.

soooooooo goooood

part of the problem.

 

[Arnie]

When I look at the package as a whole it's very impressive.

When I take 'War Games' in isolation, it's both underwhelming and irritating. When they were describing ordnance I wanted to put my head through a wall; I wish they'd literally just call them killstreaks, honestly. Get it over and done with, admit it. It's like there's a huge elephant in the room that nobody's acknowledging. The scoring, experience, ordnance and armour mod systems all inspire apathy.

What part is this in the BTS? Time?

 

[u4iX]

Watching this has me so damn excited. The default settings look good, I'm kinda upset there's a Slayer Pro playlist when even Infinity Team Slayer looks like it plays well at a highly competitive level.

http://www.twitch.tv/eglhalo/popout

Is it the MOST competitive settings the Halo 4 could have? Nah.

Does it make Halo 4 fresh, exciting, and tense to watch as the game nears an end and players near Ordnance Drops, making for a better story for the viewers at home? Hell yeah.

 

[Redford]

Hmm, I thought ordnance drops were based on kills, not medals. Wow..

 

[OdysseusVA]

I believe it starts at 9:50

Did you expect MLG kids to care about the story?

 

[G17]

Thank you 343 for disabling comments on your Youtube version of the Vidoc.

 

[IHaveIce]

Did I miss KOTH ? All I see is Infinity Slayer

 

[bobs...onGaf]

He has Promethean vision which would make sniping in that spot so easy. Use it fool!

 

[MrDaravon]

Hmm, I thought ordnance drops were based on kills, not medals. Wow..

I hadn't thought about that either, but it makes sense. It's similar to the Support killstreak system in MW3; all of those assists and other things you're doing are counting towards earning the drop. Allows kids who aren't good but are still supporting the team to get stuff, but probably not as fast as getting kills or completing objectives. I think it's a good thing honestly.

 

[TCKaos]

I have two 360s, and I don't want to have to play splitscreen if I don't have to. If you can install the multiplayer disc and launch mutliplayer from the campaign disc (wasn't that confirmed?) then could I install multiplayer on one 360 and then let my brother use the other disc on the other 360?

That way we could play Spops and War Games without splitscreen.

 

[watership]

Oh wow. Spartan ops looks fantastic!

And I know i'm 4 pages too late for this: but Silverlight > Flash. Silverlight doesn't destroy my browser and crash, or eat through my memory and CPU for no reason. So there.

Fantastic if true.

 

[LAUGHTREY]

I saw a frigate in the new ViDoc that looked like they used to, so I don't get why FUD looks weird.

 

[User 73706]

Since the Dominion light bridges are solid you could use them as situational structures. Just imagine slowly taking over a Light Bridge that expands the further you capture it, and when it's fully controlled it allows you access to a new part of the map where the next point is.

 

[Tunavi]

Spartan Ops looks interesting. That mode lives and dies by the quality of the netcode.

Not necessarily, although I will be disappointed. Spartan Ops will be awesome for couch co-op

 

[Arnie]

How long would it have taken 343 to implement a classic scoring mode?

The new scoring is fucking dumb. But of course, chase that audience.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Hmm, I thought ordnance drops were based on kills, not medals. Wow..

Based on personal score.

No, I doubt it. Would require two copies of the game I'd say (which makes sense & is fair).

 

[FL1Psyde]

might be a dumb question and answered already probably but is there an option for a respawn delay instead of everything being insta-spawn?

 

[bobs...onGaf]

EGL seems like a weird little league, checked out the site and there was like no information.

These 'pro' gamers are nowhere near the best the UK has to offer for sure - would be interesting to see what would happen if the league was more popular and competitive.

 

[Gui_PT]

Those guys in the stream barely know anything about the game =\

 

[bGanci]

Yes sir. Instant spawn is only In slayer I believe.

AlienShogun?

 

[Moa]

I don't know if you knew this, but Grifball is enormously popular.

Also those playlists are all a single gamemode; you don't click on oddball on that listing and get a new menu of variants, it's just straight oddball.

VIP was fairly popular in Halo 3, the whole gametype was cut from Reach and non-existent in Halo 4.

The fact is, Grifball worked fine as a custom game option w/ Assault, they cut Assault and made Grifball play off the Oddball stuff, stupid move.

 

[aj1467]

I was just thinking that.

 

[BigShow36]

The stupid multiplayer voice-overs are trying so hard to be cool, which means they sound terrible.
