I pretty shocked that there isn't a Forerunner vehicle.

On the contrary, I'm pretty shocked that there aren't any Brute weapons / vehicles. The Elites were said to be using everything they can in Thursday War / Glasslands, so why not Brute stuff?
Why need ships when they can just teleport?
Why would they need vehicles if they could just teleport?

These are fun throwback matches on Halo 4.

this is so cool. I was at Anaheim 2009 for that series too, at the main stage. this is like my glory days MLG match up.

Yeah... Kinda weird how small the Promethean sandbox is.
I expected a few more returning favorites at least. When we were told there was only two new vehicles I assumed things like the Falcon and maybe the Chopper would for sure be back. Blah.

Shouldn't matter. Forerunner vehicles would just be awesome. You can't deny it.

Yeah, Amazon not giving credit for games anymore plus adding sales tax to all purchases (in California) is making me think they're not that much better than buying games from GameStop anymore.
To answer your question, though, I think it depends on WHEN you want the game. Want to wait for UPS but not spend a dollar on the game or spend money on the game and get it at midnight but only get 25 dollars?

I still dont get what the second vehicle is.... one is the mantis, which is the other?
The mammoth?
Can we drive that thing or does it count as a "new vehicle" even if we cant?

I'm wondering if Promethean vehicles existed, but were cut because they couldn't get them right in time. It seems like the weapons only started coming together a little before e3, so it is very possible they just couldn't get in the swing of things in time for Halo 4.
Still sucks.
Yeah, the Mammoth. Which really isn't new, its just an Elephant 2.0.
It seems it is drivable in either SP or Spartan Ops. Maybe it will make it into one of the DLC maps..

Forerunner Chopper that assembles itself once you get in. SHIP IT.

That's exactly what I picture when I think of Forerunner vehicle. This needs to happen in Halo 5.

After using it a bunch at NYCC, I'm tempted to make it my number one even though I love the BR to death.
The Light Rifle zoomed in is just too damn good.

Depends on the map really. Exile was where I felt really comfortable with the Light Rifle. The BR was my go to on Haven and Solace.

I am. I get the best of both worlds and since a lot of people find it hard to use this weapon is right up my alley.

It still looks somewhat difficult to use to me. I'll definitely give it a crack, though, and use it as my primary if I can get the hang of it.

The Falcon was the vehicle that for some reason I thought for sure would be back. Thing fly's like a dream. Of course as long as you're talking about things you'd assume would be in H4 from Reach, they'd have to bring back the Grenade Launcher, right?
I will definitely have a loadout with it that I plan to use, but at this point I fail to see how the DMR isn't my go-to. You never know though, things can change as everyone gets their hands on the game.
Just fires way too fast for my liking. Feel much better with the other precision weapons where I feel like I'm lining up each individual shot and pulling the trigger instead of the trigger mash that is the Carbine.

They don't need vehicles. They just teleport when they're hungry for burgers.
So you agree bloom is in Halo 1, glad we could come to an agreement on that.

BUT I POOPED FIRST.
I'm really surprised there isn't a Forerunner vehicle in multiplayer, and that it does this. Come on, 343, you know you want to reskin the Spectre for the 3rd time.

Yeah, no Promethean vehicle is probably my biggest sandbox disappointment. No ODST SMG would be the second biggest one.
Halo 4: ODST made by Bungie. SMG. Promethean verhicles. Made by ODST team.

still think the brute chopper could easily be converted to a transforming promethean vehicle, same with the brute hammer. The brute spikers have a similar rate of fire to the supressor, the spike grenade was always redundant with the plasma grenade, and the concussion rifle is essentially the brute shot now.

I agree with everything but the bolded. Nothing felt better than sticking a spike grenade to a wall as you were retreating, and killing the guy that was trying to push you. Or sticking it a room and having the spikes kill 2+ people.
So good.
I'm also a bit of the opinion that we really need to see a Covenant air vehicle that's actually balanced for modern gameplay. We got the Falcon in Reach which was great, but had the issue that the Elites needed an air vehicle to fit their motif for Invasion and the Banshee is.. yeah.
Then we go to all Spartan multiplayer, and the Falcon disappears, with the Banshee remaining.

The banshee has been so broken in every Halo game so I am expecting the same for Halo 4. I'm especially worried now that I am hearing the rifles don't tear up the vehicles, which is one of the few things I like about Reach.
I honestly don't like any vehicle that doesn't have exposed drivers. I like being able to pop someone off of a Hog or a Ghost with some well placed shots.
do it, do it for the children.
youll easily notice the reach bks when you see them poking at people with their shit gun and waiting for their crosshair to comeback

Or dropping a spike grenade in a bubble shield in watching it rip people to shreds.

<3 Bubble shield.
Me too.
BR if the LR doesn't feel good.
Anyone know if the Lightrifle and Carbine are hitscan weapons?
Yup. Bubble Shields were cooler than any ability or piece of equipment in any Halo game. So useful and soooo potentially deadly.

I loved it how people would just chill in the bubble and thought that vehicles wouldn't be able to splatter them. Good times
I still want a grenade that forms a bubble shield in the impact/stopping point. (Think Starry Night trailer for Halo 3)
Image the uses... a friend is using the rocket launcher, bubble him and watch him blow himself up.
