My only real concern for this game is netcode, hit detection and weapon balance. Seeings how i haven't played the game i cant form an opinion on the aforementioned things. The opinions i can form from watching videos are mostly positive. Looks great, sounds great, the BR is back and there's a bunch of new weapons. Inevitably when i chose to bitch about the game, it will be when i have sunk a few hours into it and have legitimate gameplay gripes. I will not rage at menus or lack there of. Its of no consequence to me.

With hit scan you shouldn't have to be too concerned.

It's just a cycle. Something new from Halo 4 is revealed, d-slurping commences, than someone reminds us of something bad(this time it was no sprint disabling), which reminds us of EVERYTHING not in Halo 4, KyleJ/Juices/BigShow/etc form up like Voltron to complain about Halo 4, anti-backlash force led by resident slurper Heckfu, 343 Community Manager Hydranockz and Deadly Cyclone mock criticism, a few "what's going on in this thread, this place sucks!", and then there's some new content and....

I've always liked multi team.

It's a pretty popular playlist, so unless you can't have 4 teams in Halo 4 I'm pretty sure they'll bring it back at some point.

I'm seeing colors in the vid I posted, team colored pieces really help.

I just saw the little orange line on one of the pieces... Lol.

I have to say, that forge map is so ugly. Might look better on the screen at home... but jeez. I know that I'm going to try and keep things grounded in Forge mode, if only so things don't look so bad. Sooo much white. (Though still looks better than Reach)

I don't think multi-team was at launch for Reach, or Halo 3, but I'm not entirely sure. They'll probably put it in later.

Actually I remember quite vividly it was there day 1 because I remember how both me and my girl thought how fun it was to be playing against five other teams.

343 should not underestimate the power of the 6x2 multi-team playlist. It is a fun and easy way to get casuals introduced to Halo multiplayer. It's how my girlfriend became as much of an addict as I am to halo multiplayer.

There's just something special and fun about playing with that lone partner whether that person is a girlfriend or close buddy

Me and the guy who decided to change the Platform, Y to no longer have a pointed side at a 45 degree angle are not going to get along. Gotta completely change how I'm going to do Think Again now... grrrr. Now I'm curious as to what the angle is... perhaps the same angle as ramps now... still makes me angry.

On the contrary, I hated the multi-team playlist in Reach. Was just a clusterfuck of uncoordinated players on tight and badly designed maps spamming nades at each other... Actually, never mind. That was just Reach altogether.

Mmm. Halo 4's LOD is pretty big, so I won't make judgements until I walk on it myself (in game of course.. hah)

The playlist issue is the fact that everyone wants a certain few playlists in the game, but then everyone also complained that Reach had too many. Some of this was due to the TU stuff, but I think 343 still wants to keep the list a lot more concise this time, at least at launch.

They'll bring the Infinity playlists to the forefront. Showcase new CTF and have Slayer & BTB, then add a few playlists that were the most popular in the other games (including Flood and Grifball).

By the way I thought rocket hog race or whatever it was called was absolutely AWFUL. One of several reasons why I did not like the 4x3 multi-team playlist.

Please 343 for the love of everything holy please if and when you put in the multi-team playlist please make it a 6x2 (or at least 4x2). NOT 4 teams of 3 players (4x3).

Again it is soooooo much fun playing with a lone partner and is a great way to introduce casuals to multiplayer without worrying about criticism from other teammates. Not that criticism is the norm but the comfort factor for casuals in this playlist can't be denied.

If I go into infectionhub.com forums and call David Ellis a cunt that doesn't make it a post from that entire community. A small part of what gets posted in Halogaf threads is actually by "Halogaf", specially near release times.

Not bitter, just unsweetened
Bah screw it

I'm going to be the happy one today

I can't wait for halo 4 :):):):)

I don't care what features are there anymore, I just can't wait to play

Ps reading the halo 2 OT http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21966 which is making me remember the days when I was excited not because of multiplayer but because it was a sequel to my favorite game ever

I want it more than anyone can describe

I wake up and look at videos

Before I go to bed, I have halo 4 videos to comfort me

Halo 4, you will be mine.

The part that's horseshit is where he said "it makes you not try as hard." No, it doesn't make you do that, that's a conscious decision on your part.


You further cement yourself as probably the worst poster in HaloGAF right now.

I don't really care if I'm the worst poster on GAF, I post my opinion and how I like to play, and if people don't like me, ignore me, the button is there for a reason, use it.

As soon as you mention it, there are plenty of people to jump on you for it too.

But no, its not great. It actually makes the thread very dull to read.

Hmmm, where did this happen? Altogether unsurprising though.
