I think there's plenty of situations where outdoor infantry works perfectly, although it often involves dropships and "hold-your-position" style combat.

Wow, Halo 4 is already bigger than H3 ever was? Excited about future MLG now
How do you mean, bigger?

Yeah. There was a Field Marshal, a Legend, and a Mythic on my team and a Legend on their team. The rest of us were Corporals (me) and Warrant Officers.
Because I didn't buy ZOE HD Collection and I don't want to dip into my single player backlog. Also everyone in LoLGAF is too busy watching MLG LoL to play with me.
do gameplay is on a constant high-level but jaw drop? no, that was mostly because of the visuals/design/cutscenes. but i have to admit, my jaw really dropped in one of the early levels because of that.
edit: nothing like the scarab battles. i remember the moment when the 2 scarabs dropped from the sky, i almost dropped the controller.

Never, in my life, have I seen someone use so many words to say so little. He literally did not make a single point with that ginormous post.
Except, of course, how he thinks CoD requires too much time to kill an enemy.

Sure, in those it works fine. But if either is not in use, then it is silly if you have a mid-long range weapon. And there are plenty of these in Halos as well.
Viewership.
Halo3 sold out most events so i guess all events would need to sell out for H4 to have a higher participation rate.
There are some levels which where incredible and there are actually some quite big battles. If you enjoyed Assault on the Controllroom, The Ark, The Covenant and Silent Cartographer you will enjoy it, I think.
I disagree! Shit was epic and the grunts bracing for impact is glorious! lol. Doesn't compare to the Warthog runs because those took place at the end of the game.

It felt so out of place. I had no idea what was going on. The music through that section was downright awful. Absolutely terrible pacing to lead up to that moment.
It's basically the most negative part of the game so far and everything up to that moment was awesome.
But won't deny everything looked really cool, though!
I should add, that there are not those incredible Scarab alike fights, but the fights in Halo 4 are really good, too.

Fuck. Why the fuck not. Sounds like Halo 3 will continue to be my fav campaign. The gigantic vehicle combat levels were my favorite. Oh well everything else in 4 looks amazing.

It's tagged and it isn't really super spoilery... Story wise, anyways.

lol yeah, like no one else on here has ever fired a weapon. On my fall break a couple weeks ago I went with my dad to his gun club and fired about 100 rounds through our brand new AK47, yet I don't think that qualifies me to talk about game mechanics.
You talking about MLG viewership? Not many people have the game so of course they're tuning in.Wow, Halo 4 is already bigger than H3 ever was? Excited about future MLG now
edit-
that Gandalf shop is great haha

Plus, Halo is a futuristic shooter. The argument that it feels more realistic or "right" to go ADS mode is just plain stupid.
If you want to go down the "realism" route: lore-wise, it is absolutely justified that none of the guns even have sights because they sync up with the HUD of spartans/odsts/marines anyway. ADS would be redundant.
The pistol does have iron sights IIRC, possibly for civilian use?

Why would a flag guy scream, "you shall not cap!" ?
Unless it was a joust of course
Because Bubbletape tie guy said so. Don't you be questioning foo.

If this rumor of the carbine being the fastest kill time is true. That's going to be an issue once modded controllers hit. No recoil or bloom and shoot as fast as you pull the trigger = bad.

MLG blocking off the bottom of solace is retarded. The map isnt much bigger with it but it allows much better map movement.

I thought I escaped this shit from Gears 3 with the Hammerburst modders

so are you locked in the pacific armor with what ever specialization your using...
Brolic Gaoler

Seriously.
Wasn't this the case in Halo 3? I don't recall seeing people abuse the Carbine then.

That would piss me off so much, it better not be true. What is the point of customizing your character if the game locks you into a specific set?
What I'm thinking is that entering the specialization just unlocks the armor set as an option.

Carbine wasn't a starting weapon in 3, was it? It also functioned different too, didn't it?
I didn't play much Halo 3 or Halo 2 with the Army and all.
Also, I think modded controllers in MP is more of a "thing" now than it was then.
It's a shame what they did to that game. So much potential.
No, they just unlock.
The only thing you're locked into is that level set.

I don't think it fires as fast as you can pull the trigger, but I'm not 100 percent sure.
Anyone with the game care to clarify?
Brolic Gaoler

You're missing the point. If it has the highest kill time, it's reliant on how fast you can pull the trigger. Inherently this isn't a problem since hammering the trigger that much on your controller might throw your aim off and is NOT consistent. With a modded controller it's consistent and all you have to do is hold the trigger down (your aim won't be swayed and you will get the highest ROF).
With a modded controller there's literally NO reason not to use the carbine, since there's no downside.

I remember the 1st one bieng my second most played game at the time.
