What did you guys think about the montage? Like it?

It was all around appreciated earlier in the thread. Thanks for taking the time to capture, edit, etc. (and thanks to your cohorts, Bravo, etc.)

 

[Tashi]

Seems strange to me that actual fans (Tashi, Wu, etc) would semi-rush the campaign at some event away from home just to play it early, instead of waiting and playing it from the comfort of their own homes at their own pace after launch. Maybe they don't care that much about campaign or the way it's supposed to be enjoyed, different people different strokes and all.

We weren't rushed in anyway. We had 15 hours the first day to play Halo 4 and I could have beaten the game twice in that amount of time. I took breaks when I needed them, had lunch, talked it up with some of the guys there. I didn't feel rushed at all. The only thing that was rushing me was my desire to play the game. The campaign is fuckin awesome.

very good man sniping looks better than i thought(of course your a loooot better at halo than me though ) what would you say about it... is more like h3 or reach because I stayed a noob at the halo 3 sniper...

thanks.

Sniping feels different than any of the previous Halo. Sweep sniping requires much better timing and I feel like you have to let the shots come to you more. Less auto aim zoomed in but no scopes are just as easy as they were in Halo Reach.

edit: Also, if anyone wants direct feed of the montage and not that shitty youtube compression just PM me your email and I'll get around to sending it to you guys.

I'm trying to get it out of my head that the game will be sweet without ranks.... but guys, I still want them.

 

[neoism]

WHY DO THEY GET PEOPLE TO PLAY WHO CANT EVEN HOLD A CONTROLLER

lol yah if pros aren't playing it pointless to even watch.

Cool.

Your MP Montage was very good btw.

 

[daedalius]

Campaign is awesome, I really feel bad for you guys that have gotten spoiled

Hopefully not too bad.

Gonna call the store that said they would sell it to me early today to see if they got their shipment. If I get it today I will not sleep tonight. I will play through the entire night. I won't be sleeping for days.

 

[dmg04]

So i just realized, We have to change clocks in the US on sunday

that means an extra hour before halo 4

not fair

 

[Tashi]

Cool.

Your MP Montage was very good btw.

Thank you <3

 

[Falifax]

Get Kovic on that stream for Christ's sake.

Thank you <3

Yeah it was really good. I got nerd chills while watching it.

That's the reason why I fucked up times this week. In Europe we changed clocks already.

Is anyone doing a news round up? HBO has gone off and I don't want to carry on browsing here due to spoilers everywhere.

What's the next best site to keep up with halo news? Anyone out there archiving the more interesting posts?

 

[MrDaravon]

That montage was awesome Tashi, sent it to some friends. I agree with you, that track is awesome . Also you get bonus points for using the MvC3 music at the end.

That's a lot of Halo 4's. Makes me wonder though was Microsoft nice enough to send Bungie some complimentary copies.

 

[Franklinator]

What time does MLG Dallas start tomorrow? Really excited to watch it.

 

[BackdoorBeauty]

I love the trolling bit with the oddball. Waits around corner, throws oddball at enemy, enemy auto pickup the oddball, easy kill. It's just after the 1:22 mark (hit link)

That guy was going to die anyway because of bouncy flame rocket cannon thing. But throwing the oddball at him was funny.

I've said this before, but after watching Tashi's montage I really miss colorful multi-kill medals. The text in the middle can be hard to read and sometimes takes a while to show up and steitzers voice is usually not as easy to hear because of the music. All I saw was a bunch of grey, white and blue medals which all looked the same.

 

[Woorloog]

Any streams with not-too-bad player and preferrably using BR?

[The Antitype]

So is there a XBL tag list for people that want to get a semi-consistent crew together for the weekly Spartan Ops episodes?

 

[Orochinagis]

What did you guys think about the montage? Like it?

what, where? I was busy cleaning up tombs this day.

Is the tournament going to be streamed anywhere?

 

[Poker Face]

It should start around 6pm.

EST?

also where are multiplayer impressions from thc?

I think I do prefer the old style medals but the new ones are fine. And youtube really takes all of your hard work in audio balancing and throws it out the window. It's pretty disappointing.

 

[Spagh]

I guess you can try Gamespot's stream with TSquared:

[Deadly Cyclone]

For someone who doesn't watch a lot of MLG, are they just streaming this online? I'll be visiting the parents without any games so I may check in on the matches.

 

[willow ve]

It should start around 6pm.

Is there going to be a Youtube or Twitch stream for the MLG event or will it be streamed through the MLG main page only? (Only ask because Twitch and Youtube are easier on my computer)

 

[MrDaravon]

Hahaha, thanks.

And yea, that MvC3 song is godly

I really liked the techno version of Take Me For a Ride, but I think they took that out of Ultimate

Damn, it has a chat stream. Don't dare to watch that one... unless the chat can be turned off. EDIT oh, well, solved it. Popped out the stream window.

 

[CyReN]

We are going to wait for Social Skirmish to dive into mp. These are my initial thoughts:

Thanks to 343 first of all for sending TheHaloCouncil a media copy, being a new and upcoming Halo site it means a lot to see us get this kind of treatment so early.
Now there is still a embargo on stuff, and I have to finish others so this will be mainly about multiplayer. These are my initial reactions, and will change once I&#8217;ve played everything. Seeing that the game isn&#8217;t out there are only about 80 or so people on at a time, and 95% of them are in Infinity Slayer.

My first game: 25-2-13 on Complex Infinity Slayer

H4 > HR

Maps:
Haven &#8211; Better than any map in Reach, and my favorite so far in H4. Visually stunning and plays really well for 4v4.
Solace &#8211; Another good map, visuals are dark and grim and have a eerie feeling (which I like). 4v4 can be a little big at time. 5v5/objective games like CTF will be great on it when I get to play it.
Complex &#8211; Map isn&#8217;t really suited for 4v4, my biggest gripe is the middle building. If you have a DMR on top of it you are a god if the other team isn&#8217;t working together.

Likes:
DMR is fixed
Assists are good
Maps are great from the 3 I&#8217;ve played
Game sounds is REALLY good
You don&#8217;t notice the white text
Join in is smooth, and has been great for when G4TV staff quit

Dislikes:
Game default controls have: Toggle Crouch/1 sensitivity (WHY?)
Hard to read name cards in lobby, have to lean head sideways
IS Complex TS isn&#8217;t good for 4v4.
No visual skill ranks

what time is social skirmish on?

Watching Tsquared play with jetpack makes me already hate that loadout. There is no map flow with a jetpack. There is no ducking around a corner or behind a wall. The only true counter to a jetpack is a jetpack.

 

[CyReN]

okay and thanks

Tuesdays at 9pm, will be on youtube for those busy playing h4.

There may be other stuff out of mlg dallas from nexy, u4ix, gandhi etc, depends on time and internet upload.

Jetpack is nerfed compared to Reach, at least.

 

[shinobi602]

So can I ask a spoiler question here if I tag it?

I got spoiled like dozens of others by that asshole and need to knowww....

 

[willow ve]

Jetpack is nerfed compared to Reach, at least.

It sill allows you to bypass huge areas of maps and/or get to levels that are either very difficult or impossible to get to with any of the other loadouts. In a game where headshots are so key to a kill the jetpack is an immediate advantage on most of the maps I've seen played so far.

So can I ask a spoiler question here if I tag it?

I got spoiled like dozens of others by that asshole and need to knowww....

Would prefer not.

 

[feel]

Nope.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Jetpack is still the Jetpack, as expected. Doesn't break Map flow so as much as completely ignores it. Good job with that, 343

 

[Genesis Knight]

Damn, so much screen tearing on T-squared's feed. Just the stream, I hope?
