Honda Civics have returned empty handed... well, shit.

 

[TheOddOne]

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.

I guess. I think the dynamic will change when it's in the matchmaking population.

RIP Halo

First thing I'm buying is camo snipes.

So I guess they're saving the "oh, and uh, Theater is in the game, and it's actually the worst version yet, feature-wise. Halo." bulletin for next week.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see it in live Matchmaking.

How many sleeps till Halo 4?

So this image I found find another site when you go online with Halo 4 you get this pop up message about a test phase.

[GodlyPerfection]

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

We haven't gotten an official forge bulletin yet.

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.

Agreed. I'm curious to community maps in MM, fileshares/etc, and other minor details.

Too many sleeps.

Somehow the wait still doesn't feel too painful to me. I've been keeping myself busy, demolishing my to-do list, and just basking in the glory of what gameplay footage we do have. Twelve days.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Man, the white text and constant Steitzer weren't bothering me before but that video just makes it seem like a constant thing.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Forgot Distraction Bigshow. I'm sorry have we accepted that thats actually a point award in Halo? Like thats not fucking ridiculous?

I'm glad this game has a good steady IV drip of footage and info rolling out this last month to keep me at ease.

FUD alone makes the wait easier.

I love Steitzer, but I want to dial it back a little. And I think turning off that white text should be an option, for fucks sake. Not going to stop me from playing, but I will forever hate it.

This has just made me realize... we know nothing of matchmaking or how voting etc works. We have only ever seen the custom game lobby.

Surprised no one has leaked that stuff already.

(Or maybe there is no voting, and the matchmaking lobby is the same as the custom game lobby!??)

Totally, I just don't know what happened with some of these or how they came about to be, but they're just weird. I wasn't a big fan of most of the alternative 3 and Reach helmets, but they weren't actively bad like these few are:

Nice to have a full list of Forge Bits finally but it looks mostly filled with Reach bits. I was hoping for more Prefab items to decorate and build the maps with. Also it would have been nice to say how many of each item we are restricted too, or if it is just as many as we want until the quota is filled.

In an effort to aid completionists in their quest for collecting as many items as possible, we wanted to include the in-game content in BOTH versions. Now that the “I”s are dotted and the “T”s are crossed, we can finally confirm that the LE War Games Map Pass and the standalone War Games Map Pass both come with two bonus in-game helmets (Scanner and Strider), as well as a unique in-game emblem (Falcon). We’re also excited to reveal the specifics of the three map packs included in the Map Pass.

please tell me that the ghosting/blur is because of the video codec...

weird, the blur only seems to happen sometimes. maybe a way to keep the framerate smooth when there is too much going on?

Well with sprint maps are smaller, so medium becomes small.

 

[Rickenslacker]

The very first Halo 4 bundle we put together was the Limited Edition. We were extremely excited about it, and filled it to the brim with everything that was available at the time. Since then, in an effort to provide options for as many different people as possible (those on a tight budget, those who enjoy Multiplayer, those who like in-game content, etc.), we have created additional SKUs, the standalone War Games Map Pass being one of those things. The standalone version was advertised as including bonus content (two in-game helmets and an emblem) that the LE version did not have.

Is there a SKU for someone who wants the silly unicorn emblem but doesn't want to spend $400

 

[BigShow36]

No, you just cover distance more quickly. Sprint can still be used on smaller maps.
