lol, wtf @ 3:32

Up, up and away!

Someone please gif that. :lol

 

[SpudBud]

There's also air assault, which has some ODST influences.

This is from an ODST guy like yourself.

Kat's helm is back? Perfect.

 

[Tunavi]

LOL



also, Tunavi, check your PMs

bitch

mmm baby I'll put on my hottest lingerie

edit: oh shit I meant to PM this

 

[GodlyPerfection]

Decided on my loadout... I'm going to go less stealthy + melee and more ambush + grenades.

Primary: Light Rifle
Secondary: Boltshot
Grenade: Pulse Grenade
Armor Ability: Active Camo
Tactical Package: Grenadier
Support Upgrade: Explosives


They reduced pulse grenade from 2 to 1 in a loadout for a reason... starting off with 2 of those (grenadier) in addition to pumping their radius (explosives) should be amazing. Use camo to get the jump on my opponents, drop pulse to start with a 2 shot lead. Also camo's worst enemy is grenades since I'm crouching all the time.

I'll also be putting all my efforts into fully utilizing all the grenade drops.

It made playing a chick Spartan 90% pointless. You hear a girl spartan panting and you are a dude, and you auto know that could be someone from the other team on your ass.

Hmm. Are they holding their breath while sprinting?

 

[Digital Limit]

Some gameplay items cost multiple points which is important to consider.

Pay 1 point to have both DMR and BR or 2 points for AA? Its going to be a interesting trade off.

And by interesting I mean shitty and limiting.

That's only for unlocking them. After that, you can do any combination of items.

/pretendingToKnowSomethingSoPeopleClearThisUp

to initially unlock them yes, they cost a certain amount of points,
but there is no point limitation to what you can have in a loadout
aka, your loadout can only equal 15 SP worth of stuff

whatever you spend your points on, is yours forever, in any combination you can muster up

 

[Rickenslacker]

But you'll only have 10 SP by level 10... right? That's not nearly enough to buy all that.

BR's 1, Bolt 2, Plasma 2, Thrust 2, Mobility 1, Dex 1. So I'll need 9, which I should have by then.

As you rank up, you will gain access to the Armor Ability slot (SR-3), the Tactical Package slot (SR-7), and the Support Upgrade slot (SR-12).

I don't know all this confounded rpig stuff in mah halos, I'll still have the points!!1

Agreed completely. Love that they took that out entirely. Don't like listening to my character breathe into my ear for the majority of the match.

 

[LAUGHTREY]

How has this channel not been closed yet? I would imagine that those who got copies early are either pirates or under embargo from 343.

It's only as assumption, MS also doesnt have control over youtube.

 

[Ryaaan14]

So we were just notified at work that we're going to have an enormous Republican function on Nov 6th and they're taking away day off requests...


This could be bad. :_

 

[Hitmonchan107]

Ah, I understand the distinction between the two you're making now. I agree to some degree, but I also feel like community managers aren't meant to be our "friends." (Not saying that you've said that, but I get that feeling from some posts) In that sense I mean, I don't think users are entitled to information if the studio is withholding it.

Aww. Being friends with the fans is my favorite part of the job.

 

[heckfu]

No, but they can shut down the channel due to copyright claims.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Tashi - at a certain point you can only plug so many holes. Especially now that reviewers (big, small and European) have review copies.

Why are official forums always creepy?

I'd like to give you a fistfulofGAF History.

Spoiler

Plenty of creepers have walked these halls.

BALL MASTER!

BALL HOG!

Oddball with passing seems like a much better idea for more open maps. All those twisty corridors just promotes players hogging the ball. If there is no real incentive to pass and promote team-play, why have it around still?

Personally, that video was way more annoying than any amount of CTF announcer repetition.

 

[kittens]

BR's 1, Bolt 2, Plasma 2, Thrust 2, Mobility 1, Dex 1. So I'll need 9, which I should have by then.

But you also have to purchase the slots to put them in, I believe.

Primary Weapon: 10 SP
Secondary Weapon: 4 SP
Grenade Type: 4 SP
Armor Ability: 22 SP
Tactical Package: 6 SP
Support Upgrade: 6 SP

That's going to take a lot longer than level 10.

Edit : I'm wrong. Don't listen to me.

MS has been shutting down leaked videos for months now on Youtube. I'm pretty sure youtube has no problem with MS asking them to shut down leaked videos

 

[CyReN]

So many Lockout, Ascension, and Zanzibar memories coming back.

 

[LAUGHTREY]

No, but they can shut down the channel due to copyright claims.

Maybe this would be a little different if I knew where to find a full list of everything, but I can't.

Oh, Matlock over here can read a copyright claim, nice.

They've still been shutting down channels every day since the leak.

 

[kittens]

Right? Isn't that why each loadout category has an SP value? You have to purchase the mere ability to add something to your custom loadout before purchasing the item itself, or so I thought.

Edit : I'm wrong.

naw homie, I was doing that for my own maths sake and forgot to take it out, my bad

you only buy specific things, not categories

The category values are their totals.

Well they really shouldn't be doing that.

I think it's more about them just running around and trying the game out, they barely really try to win.

 

[BigShow36]

Those are just the total amount of SP to unlock everything in that category; they're automatically unlocked from the beginning.

yes kittens is probably right, you have to purchase the slots for your loadout, if you don't it is default.

edit: oh yeah, didn't check if it is just the total amount. lol.

 

[broony]

HaloGAF podcast guys; I used the direct download link for the MP3 and only got just over an hour. Listened to the rest on YouTube.

Thanks for putting it together. Enjoyed it again. Looking forward to the discussions after launch. Really appreciate the work you guys put in.

Edit. Just downloaded it again to check and got the full show. No idea what happened the first time.

 

[nillapuddin]

Ohhhh, sweet, haha. That'll make things go by a lot faster.

yeah now we just need to figure what level specific things are available, I think Flatulator has got a pretty decent amount of info like that in a spreadsheet but I havent seen him in a bit

Don't forget to check out the latest episode of HaloGAF Radio

edit: Broony, that's strange. Worked fine for me yesterday. Did you try restarting the download?

Glad you're enjoying the podcast, means a lot.

Also I'd be willing to bet they had partner ads turned on, especially with so few leaked videos they probably figured theyd make a lot on views.

Dang it, I'm gonna be gone when the Bulletin drops. I won't see it for around 4 hours

I liiiiiiike forge.

 

[Raide]

*squeal* Totally pumped for a forge bulletin. It has been long needed...

Finally! Hopefully its not just "We got Magnets and Shadows Bitches!!!!"

I would like to hear what their plans are for Forge Updates, what they are doing for the Community when it comes to submitting new maps and if they are making a BungiePro copy for Halo 4.

 

[Raide]

I think it's more about them just running around and trying the game out, they barely really try to win.

So Oddball is still just holding the ball till time expires? Shame they cannot combine multiple goals to bank the Ball, get points and then it resets. Damn, now that sounds like Headhunter.

Yea exactly. Why another forge bulletin when they could be discussing the above.
