Watching some of the single player videos makes me really want the option for visor outlines in multiplayer. Anyone know why they kept it out?

Because while we have this nicer FOV now I'd rather not have them limit the view for something because of style. That, and you only have the one helmet in campaign to consider and design for, not the number of helmets that are in multiplayer.

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.

Man, I wish I was around during the Halo 2 days. That thread seems so peaceful and nice. I mean, I got the game on release, but back then I was effectively an Internet virgin.

Someone mentioned Rocket Hog Race on the last page. I think it's horrible as well but standard Mongeese only Rocket Race is fun in small doses. It shall be missed.

I don't want to venture into other threads for the fear of being spoiled, but do want to know if anybody has done a technical analysis of Halo 4. So anybody got a summary?

But its the fact that they feel the developers MUST do what they say, for me whenever I play a game online and a part of it changes which effectively ruins the way I play the game and love, its usually because of the minority of people who don't like the game, are screaming and waving their arms at the developers begging for change with their tantrum, and I'm sorry but for the most part its those calling themselves "competitive gamers" I know there are competitive gamers in HaloGaf and for the most part they seem pretty damn cool about most things so maybe I'm just biased, but honestly, this entitled attitude gamers have gotten is seriously stupid.

(Bolded) Oh the irony...

Anyways, about the amount of experience between ranks, try to remember that non-linear != random. From one rank to the next, the amount of exp needed could be a set percentage of the amount needed for the previous rank, or a set percentage of the total exp earned (exponential). There are many other explanations other than "random", its just that our minds are trained to look for linear patterns.

The halo 1 threads were pretty fun because no one realized just how good the game was when it came out

Now there's all this expectation

When halo 2 came out nobody knew what to expect, either. The game seemingly left only one or two threads. Now we know so many things and everybody has a different expectation everything.

I think we are all nuts, we are all vultures. I am gonna stop complaining and start celebrating the release of halo 4.

I forget sometimes as fans we can let our emotions run wild but we are still fans, regardless of the idiotic vitriol we spew.

Sorry Frankie / Ellis

This clarity is good. Would like to find the Campaign menu that's clear as this, but not taken by pirates & shitty cameras in 2012.

Armour Skins.

Are they locked to a specific set of armour or can they be applied to any set?

Looking at this bulletin from September where BS Angel talks about the content included in each version of the game. she says:
  • In-Game Prime Armor Skin
  • In-Game Prime Weapon Skin - Assault Rifle
Click to expand...

The fact that it specifies that the weapon skin is specific to the AR, but makes no such qualifying statement for the Prime Armour Skin makes me think that armour skins can be applied to any armour set. Is this correct?

I'm sure this has been confirmed one way or the other, but I can't remember which.

The skin that comes with LE (called "Prime") can only be applied to the recruit armour. It's total ballzacks.

Dammit. I don't praise everything you know. Just the things in the game I like. There are things don't agree with believe it or not. :p

I guess I could manage worse than everyone thinking I'm in bed with 343. Although you just caused my Xbox Live inbox to fill up by the mere sarcastic mention that I have any association with anything 343i or Halo.

I was going to say MegaZord over Voltron, but I like the reference.

We will also get a new or refreshed president that day, and I will miss the whole thing because I will be on a plane for 12 hours. I hope the captain keeps us informed.

I can't even remember if I paid in full on my pre-order or not. Really wish I just had it shipped so I don't have to peel my loose skin off the doritos dusted couch from playing reach until it arrives.

Maybe link to images of campaign stuff instead of posting the image in thread? Just a menu, but if I'd had the choice, I would've skipped seeing it.

Sorry, I didn't think it was such a big deal. After all it's just a menu.

Very minor harm, if any, however, better to give people the choice about anything that involves campaign.

Only thing that could be a spoiler is the mission name, but then again I have no idea why.

Although I can't say posting images from leaks is allowed or not. I'm not sure the official rule.
