Based on concept art/descriptions...
Crimson Map Pack - Wreckage & Harvest look/sound boring. Shatter takes place on a moon, there already is a forge environment on a moon, not sure how to feel about that.
Majestic Map Pack - Looks/sounds like the best of the bunch, I hope it's as good as it seems.
Castle Map Pack - Daybreak looks just like Complex another open area with boxes and ramps. Outcast and Perdition could be good though.
Other thoughts: bsangel has them listed in a different order than the way they are displayed.

Yea Vortex looked pretty bland when I watched it two weeks ago.
I do like that the map packs seem to be coming really quick after release though.

I'm not as concerned after Tashi said their 2v2 customs went well on a couple maps. Alternative of any potential, future Dubs and Arena-type playlists becoming a Forge fest, I wonder if there are any good parts of the developer maps you could section off.
I've been keeping my eye out for that as well. It just depends on how many objects we're given with non-forge specific maps.

I got three minutes in, and had to close the tab. I can't fathom how people can just stand there as a grenade rolls at their feet.
343 has hired llamas as playtesters. That is the only logical possibility.

I stopped after the complete failure to take out the overshield guy. First the failed thruster jump, then the failed assassination/melee, panic plasma shots, than just stand there like a deer in headlights as he kills you unopposed.
Usually it's one or two mistakes or brain farts...but an entire collection of them!?

Thinking about it, they should've made the flagnum the bolt shot. With its equipping animation it makes the most sense for something that appears out of nowhere and forms in your hand.
Honestly I just never want to use the pistol in Halo 4, that thing is a depressing shadow of its former self. Get that overly bloomy redheaded stepchild with a measly clip out of my face.

The biggest deal in the forge lists are the Dominion pieces... holy hell. I wonder if you can make them visible in other gametypes... *crosses fingers*. Below are the significant pieces to forgers:

Pretty much a failure because he or she was expecting the plasma pistol to charge up, and it wasn't happening.

Yeah quality of the gameplay was terrible. Still happy 343 are finally giving us direct feed footage. BTB will be a lot of fun with personal ordnance drops. I cant wait to go in and just get handed a Binary Rifle lol.
And also at least they showed off a decent cross section of the sandbox.
Testing and balancing based on the lowest common denominator. That's good planning, right?
That doesn't make my point any less valid.

Yeah, that was actually the first footage I've seen of Vortex. While I'd probably trade one of the big maps for another small map, I'm REALLY happy that 343 is bringing on a BTB revival.

Flashing red or yellow lights for Forge. Were they in Reach too? I wonder if those lights will have properties of some kind to tinker with/

Being honest, I didn't have a problem with the quality of the player, but I do seem to be in the minority.

So is anyone looking at FUD's view statistics? Do we have any idea of expectations for them?

Yes they were. But lights were limited to 2 max per map. Which made them kinda pointless, IMO. You could mark bases with them... for 2 team games.
Good players are generally more interesting and enjoyable watch. Especially if you're a good player, seeing easy-to-avoid mistakes is annoying.

My concern w/ the BTB focus is those are the worst games are far as lag and performance by a mile. I assume H4 is an improvement in that regard compared to past titles in the series- but still.
Yeah they were in Reach. They just fade in and out every 4 seconds or so. Not t ton of new forge objects other than the map specific ones it seems. Gadgets and toys seem pretty identical, at least.
Anyone manage to get anything out of the Section 3 thing yet?

I consider Haven to be a small/med map.
nice thanks ! took one, probably the only one I'm able to get
I'll give you that one.

Lol just spend ages trying to sign up to the doritos site to take one of those codes.
That site is surprisingly annoying.

Well with default sprint the maps have to be bigger. Like Guardian wouldn't work with sprint.
Sure it would. It might actually play better so that the middle wouldn't be a deathtrap and there would be less standoffs.
They just wanted to show off the killcam. /spindoctor

I don't know how it works for you folks & press embargo's.. But at this point it seems like most game play related material is online to watch.
That said, it would be cool to watch some Live Streams of Halo 4 MP. (from 343/Friend)
Not sure if that would ever work, but it would be popular as hell I am sure.

We can rebuild him.
I'll see what I can do (probably nothing lol). File name is "trio", if that means anything.This was hidden in the bulletin....
Somebody "Recover the garbled bits" - I'm at work and don't have any programs to attempt this.

Should I even bother skimming through the past pages? Luckily I missed the page with Moa's pics, but frikkin Demon posted two pics that caught me.. IDK why I clicked "view post" ;\
Come on guys, why are we still posting Campaign pics/info in here so close to launch?
The Great Journey is about to begin. But, when it does, the weight of your heresy will stay your feet... and you shall be left behind spoilernewbs.

Haha what?
Haven is definitely small by Halo 4 standards. Keep in mind you have sprint on by default. Midship with fucking sprint would be TERRIBLE.
Haven is a small map. and there is NO way Adrift is small-med. You can get to the enemy base SO fast on that map. My only issue with it is sightlines suck. It kinda reminds me of a smaller version of Condemned.
The Pit is bigger than Haven and Adrift imo.
