Other starting weapons would probably be there if more loadout slots were available. The secondary and AA vary between loadouts so the slots are used up quick.

DMR/Magnum/Thruster
DMR/Boltshot/Jetpack
DMR/Magnum/Hologram
BR/Magnum/Thruster
BR/Boltshot/Jetpack

Resupply and Dexterity on everything.

I hope the CSR penalises people who leave games early and joining in progress has no effect on your CSR whether your team wins or loses. You have to be in the game from start to finish for any positive effect on CSR.

That 1 minute H4 trailer ad seems to be cut together much better than the original long one.

Really like how it splits off to the memories while the beam is going up MC instead of doing it all at once.

Man Pistola was one of my favorite players in Halo 3, hope he gets back on his game.

When he's with his normal teammates he'll be fine. In these "classic" aka exhibition matches there isn't much team chemistry left.

Is drop in/out still in multiplayer?

How is that going to work with the ranking system?

Cyren, what's your opinion on Solace so far? Not counting Ragnarok, that was my favorite map out of the ones I played.

I like it a lot, I've only played IS 4v4 and Flood on it. I'd really like to try CTF on it sometime, really love the middle bean jump.

I know, I know I shouldn't judge. Seeing classic TD get wiped out like that isn't easy to watch is all.

I stopped following along with Halo MLG when Reach came out so I've no idea what the current teams are, so it was fun to see some good ol' Str8 vs. TD.

No, but it leaves us in "good graces". 240+ teams at one event is pretty crazy, especially this time of year since last year in Providence (also in November) was one of the lowest turnouts I've seen for a event with 80ish teams.

The game you have makes a big difference, Halo back.

Isn't viewership more important though? Hows that so far

Excited for ranks, appreciate 343's efforts to try and make ranks work.

It's cool that it seems things are pretty flexible behind the scenes of the game- huge potential to see things fresh.

Just read through the full CSR (ranking) system that will be used in Halo 4.

1-50 : check
Ranked per hopper : check
343 responds to community feedback : check

I give this a solid 8 out of 10. Really glad to see 343 listen to community feedback (even if it was whining and trolling on the Waypoint forutms, etc.) and take actionable steps to correct course for the community. This is something that was severely lacking with the way Reach was handled. Good on you boys (and girls).

Would be a 10 if you could see the rank in game, but for now a Waypoint/Smartglass app will have to fill the void. Here's to hoping the team is already planning on this being in Halo 5 on launch day.

edit - Damn MLG, this commercial break is taking forever. (Really glad to have Halo back on circuit - at least for now).

I forgot to tell you guys, I mailed the packages out, so you shall be getting your goodies next week sometime I would assume.

I also just purchased the A40 2013 edition headset, that's a lot of money. Hope it was worth it!

Here we go, the real MLG Gametype

Edit: I love that Formal and APG get to play Halo 4 on the mainstage and it's Grifball

Man, finished up FUD a little bit ago, what a pleasant surprise that turned out to be.
Click to expand...
Yeah. Exceeded expectations from episode 1 all the way through the end. Between FUD and this MLG stream my hype levels are at maximum.

I'm starting to believe that with some tweaks infinity slayer could be a legitimate MLG game type.

It might not go as drastic as all that, but it will most certainly be stripped down from the current iteration. Jetpack, at least, will be removed. As discussed, ad naseum, here it literally just ignores any sort of map design.

Is this an approving post? I can't tell.


Is the stream still up? If not, was it recorded somewhere? I just had to do an annotated bibliography for one of my 3 term papers (bleh), so I've been out of it for the past few hours. Would appreciate some good H4 gameplay.

Regardless it's still the worst map set in the Halo series.
Click to expand...

Was just playing some Reach. It might not have been good for regular MM, but Countdown is a really fun and intense Zombies map :)

I think the idea of embedding the MP maps into SP ultimately was a cool idea that didn't work. I was hoping that we'd get more fiction to explore as well as getting a good idea of where the actual locations were as opposed to the disembodied descriptions from previous games, but they still felt a bit too much like single-player locations in that there's a lot of odd spaces that aren't really used at all in MM.

Wow.

Just wanted to say... Grenades are the weakest in any halo game

I even stick an elite and he doesn't die? Wuhhhh

Flood looks like its the same as Reach: idiots hiding in lame ass places. The mode looks fun overall, but it totally turned me off to see groups of people just getting on top of those buildings.
