I want to do a write up about my impressions of H4 multiplayer but I don't even know where to begin. I played a fuck ton of matches. Let's see what I can rattle off the top of my head.

-Assists are fixed
-Railgun is the greatest gun in the game
-Customizable loadouts is huge
-Personal Ordnance is a fucking gem
-H4 Needler is the best iteration of the gun in the entire series
-Slayer Pro is awesome
-Infinity Slayer is awesome
-Dominion is very cool
-Saw is badass
-Returning objective gametypes have been tweaked and improved (don't know about CTF yet)
-New objective gametypes are cool and have lots of potential
-Played the most enjoyable game of Grifball ever
-Infection is badass
-Best maps so far: Haven, Abandon, Adrift, Complex, Solace (not including pre built Forge maps)
-Mid tier maps so far: Everything else (not including pre built forge maps)
-Global ordnance scares me a little
-Shotgun sounds insanely great
-I love all the new medals
-Text in middle of screen is so far from noticeable while playing. Arguments against are invalid
-Regicide is ok. FFA in general seems to work better than it did in H3 and Reach. Don't know what tweaks cause it.
-Feels like Halo 2 mixed with Reach. Good jump height but sharp and crisp, not clumsy and floaty.
-Grenades are more rare
-Melees are less frequent but not gone
-Blur effect in Regen field is pretty fucking smart
-Pro Pipe > Sticky Detonator but that doesn't mean Sticky Detonator isn't fun to use
-No scopes are still easy
-Headshots with sniper from behind are more difficult than in Reach
-Sweep sniping is very tough
-Feels like less autoaim with sniper
-Flood with Thrust is a blast
-Slide jumping is very much back


I reserve the right to change my opinion after months of online play.

If these are true, I'll be quite happy.

Again the Suddoths are running a illegal Halo stream of the newest game, this time trying to play it off using Pros names. Sad.

Lol wow. They can't seriously believe that they'll get away. I hate to ask but link?

lmao

Speaking of which, did you ever get those $10 back from the kickstarter thing?

And I thought they can't get any lower.

 

[Trasher]

Not sure if this is it, but it's the first thing I saw.

lmao

2 questions will haunt me for the rest of my life, and that is one of them. Who did that?

-----
Through the grapevine it's 99.9% the sudds. This happened last time with Halo Reach when they played it illegally.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Nope.

When I get back from work later today it should be going up. Don't want to pin down a specific time tonight but tonight, UK time.

Ok cool, Ill look for it later.

Wow.

I wonder, Im sure MS has their info.. will they take action?

 

[El_Chino]

So just to clarify LE buyers (such as myself) are not getting the extra two helmets?

 

[Ken]

So just to clarify LE buyers (such as myself) are not getting the extra two helmets?

At this point I'm not sure anyone here knows with 100% certainty. I'm sure they'll give all the details closer to launch so it might be best to keep your LE and cancel it if the final known contents of it proves unsatisfactory to you.

 

[Trasher]

Trying to play it off in chat that he isn't Suddoth. Saying he fucking sucks. At least he's only telling one lie I suppose.

 

[Ken]

Not sure if this is it, but it's the first thing I saw.

http://www.own3d.tv/MLGDallas/live/400060

Oh hey it's TSQUARED.

MLGDallas: suddoth isa rat
legacyisgod: because he just tried /clear
Absolutely: do suddoths get hot wifes?
Ripshot|026221: only the sudds would waste their time typing in the chat like this
MLGDallas: he fkn sux

 

[CyReN]

Now a new fear is born, what if the modders play under known community people or halo pros? I'm hearing of various people getting banned already.

This is going to be a long 3 weeks.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Cyren, they wouldn't ban by name, they'd need their own recorded data to validate the piracy, surely.

I figure that was the case, I just someone from 343i would give us some clarification on this.

Also the gamestop pre-order doesn't look AS bad as I thought it would.

Saw this earlier on reddit.

WARNING: Do not post ANY gameplay of any type of Halo 4 online - I was banned and never played it on Xbox live or even on my xbox

I just recieved notice that l31untman account has been permanantly banned from Xbox Live because I posted footage of Halo4 multiplayerr gameplay that I captured from someone else's Xbox who has the game. I did not play the game early on my Xbox, or even on Xbox Live at all. All I did was upload 1 game play video to my youtube that links to my name of l31untman, and I have been permanently banned from Xbox Live. Bullshit man...

There is some kind of linking, kid doesn't sound bright too.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Can't wait for this re-skinned Infection to be the most popular list by a COUNTRY mile.

Blood Gulch bases look even worse in Halo 4 lol.

Halo 4...serious business.

No for real, this is really serious.

 

[Trasher]

Wow. So much of this Spartan armor looks terrible. How did some of this stuff get into the game? It's like they tried to do too much on some of these designs. The simpler the better IMO.

Good impressions btw, can't wait to see your stuff on the 1st.

Must be the biggest game for MS this year and to have everything leak out almost a month earlier should make it serious business.

 

[Trasher]

Hayzee_: who is this streaming?
PandaTheHero: Sudds
Demmonwithin: Sudds

lolol

 

[Ken]

lolol

So the only thing he can say is "rats."

 

[xBrutality]

This Sanc looks decent.. haha

 

[LAUGHTREY]

There's already a sanctuary remake? Or is it pre-built into the game?

Also, no respawn timer? Ever?


I seriously won't buy it if you can't turn on a respawn timer.

 

[Trasher]

I love the fake webcam they have up. He's fiddling with his headset and looking away from the game, yet somehow he is jumping and charging up a PP shot. These kids are so stupid lol.

 

[Steelyuhas]

This Sanc looks decent.. haha

Dem car sightlines, still wrong.

Lol at "rocks"

Did they prebuild a Sanctuary with wrong sightlines again or did these guys make this map?

The sad thing is more than one person in the chat will believe it...probably.

 

[thezerofire]

is Sanc premade in 4?

 

[xBrutality]

They made it. And by looking decent I actually meant the Forge looks more appealing lol

 

[dmg04]

There's already a sanctuary remake?

Colors make it look like Foundation

 

[BackdoorBeauty]

Hmm

 

[Steelyuhas]

Well yeah anything is more appealing than MLG's the grayest map in the land of gray maps version of Sanctuary.

Sad that the incorrect car sightlines of Reach that without a doubt play inferior to the actual Halo 2 sightlines have become seemingly the norm for "Sanctuary" now.

 

[feel]

No iphone support for own3d? Dammit I don't want to move my fat ass from bed.

 

[xBrutality]

Watching that 1v1 with slayer pro settings made me excited. The game looked really fast

 

[LAUGHTREY]

Instant respawns with markers for all the weapons at all times? no thanks.

 

[Tashi]

is Sanc premade in 4?

99% sure, no

 

[Steelyuhas]

Don't bother, offline now.

Instant respawns with markers for all the weapons at all times? no thanks.

Yeah if you set up static weapons with non-power weapons on the map, the HUD is pretty absurd.

Dynamic lighting goes a long way.

This tweet from Sud1 earlier makes it obvious that it was them. Damn rats.

 

[CyReN]

They about to get the best buy double check.

 

[Steelyuhas]

True.

Well forged versions of Sanctuary didn't have any framerate issues in Reach either though.

 

[Tashi]

MAC Cannons online:

 

[thezerofire]

99% sure, no

they made that pretty damn quickly then

 

[JonCha]

Tashi, how did and do you feel about Reach? I don't really know you so I don't know what your perspective is on Halo games.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Those little rats have nothing else to do all day.


Damn it's late, wolf out.

l31untman is quite a popular guy over on r/Halo. I wonder if he'll be able to get this overturned, pretty sure it won't be in the terms of service they can ban your XBL account for uploading a video to YouTube that has no association with your GamerTag.

 

[BackdoorBeauty]

He was on team SLRP. Tashi argued FOR bloom, if I'm not mistaken?

They can ban him for any reason they want, it's their service.

One service has nothing to do with another.
