Uhhhh images in Moa's post may contain spoilers.

also: does the vinyl really only have 4 remixes? that is damn disappointing. Seriously. That is just...man.

Wu was too busy making his list and checking it twice. He wasn't really "focused" on Halo.

So, you think an actual first time Normal run will go by even faster for the average player?

I don't really care, honestly, I'm just curious. I love Halo campaigns, but I'm not particularly picky about their length. I remember a lot of people saying ODST was too short, and it felt fine to me.

Didn't even notice that, haven't got a record player to test it, but looking at the front and back, yup.

I think I got through it in about 7 hours. Seems about the same for my first Reach playthrough on Heroic. I'm not a campaign guy though so I don't play them over much but I've really loved all the Halo campaigns. Don't know how "good" I am at them.

Hmm, I looked through them all and didn't see one. Looked quick though, must have missed it.

Or a list of 60 things he needs before buying the game.

It's not not a massive spoiler.

But it is a valid spoiler.

Yes it is.

Yes Moa, that would be it... Aren't you a Waypoint member or some shit? You should know that images implications.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Oh, hmm, didn't know that was a spoiler. I don't quite know what that is, but from reading Cryptum I have a guess. Not that big of a spoiler being in Cryptum and all.

Hey, just because I'm on Waypoint doesn't mean I know all about the fiction.

The terminals from Halo: Anniversary were a dead giveaway though.

Just post your Deal With it GIF and be done with it. Frankie will see it and laugh like he always does.

 

[Abdozer]

Has it been confirmed that Theater will need a HDD to watch clips again? I remember both H3 and Reach not working with USB flash drives for Theater.

 

[Tunavi]

playtests are BK bonanzas full of people playing on those maps for the first time and waving around ARs. wouldn't put too much weight on those death locations

but the sword base deathmap is so compact because bad players camp with the shotgun room

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I guess it's good that I don't get the spoiler. I know what it's for, but assumed that would be in the game anyways.

Anywho... moving on.

 

[JohnOfMars]

but the sword base deathmap is so compact because bad players camp with the shotgun room

Also, the maps that they show are symmetric, as opposed to Sword Bases highly asymmetric design. (Not defending sword base, btw).

What speaks well for those maps, is even though they are symmetric, they are reasonably diffused.

 

[Tunavi]

Can someone PM a mod for advice about moa?

 

[squidhands]

Irrelevant. People naturally want to run around and explore the maps in playtests, hence people dying all over the place. Map flow and death choke points have nothing to do with asshats on XBL.

Then again all the spawns in Halo 4 are random like COD so maybe it will be all over the place.

People naturally want to run around and explore the maps in their first games of matchmaking too, and playtest data takes that initial exploration into effect.

I'd also argue that people who have learned all the exploits that a map, power weapon locations, and maybe even certain loadout combinations provide can greatly affect map flow/choke points. A lot of this data can truly only come from the massive amounts of play time registered over matchmaking/xbl, which is the global version of Mos Eisley.

What the fuck Moa

Get that stuff out of please, we're only a week and a half from launch

That is no longer the case with Reach ever since the TU.

I'm not caught up yet, but what did he do? In the quote block above, I see both a spoiler warning and links to images, not direct image embeds. Did he spoil something else?

There are no comments on the video, but I would still stay away from that section just in case some pop up from now.

When I originally linked the images, they were spoilerific, no warnings, hadn't even thought about it at all, added spoiler warnings now.

 

[Beckx]

the global version of Mos Eisley.

You have a shockingly low opinion of Mos Eisley, sir.

 

[TheOddOne]

I’m not too bothered by the campaign length, because usually my playthrough time is often longer then GAF’s. Dishonored took me like 20 hours, but it GAF said it was 6 to 7 hours long. Halo 3 took me around 15 hours on Heroic (take in account deaths and so on).

 

[Fuchsdh]

You have a shockingly low opinion of Mos Eisley, sir.

Yelp reviews say its a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Townies only go there for the tunes.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Isn't that image only a spoiler to someone who had read all the books? I'd bet most of the people have no idea what it even is. Still, here in HaloGaf it's a spoiler. I don't think Moa meant anything by it.

It was hardly intentional, no one (hopefully) thinks that. It was reckless.
I'd explain how it was a significant spoiler for me personally, but I'd be in danger of spoiling others.

Anyway. Lets move on. Just give me the goddamn game now. I've had enough of being spoiled .

It won't let me load the video for some reason. When I open the link it's in mobile format.

take the m out of the URL.

Yea, I just noticed that. D'oh.

Are you sure? A friend of mine is using the 4GB Xbox with a USB flash drive and he can't access Theater in Reach.

Dayum that assassination at 2:00 was sweeeet. Loving the gameplay so far. Some really cool jumps.

The only thing I am worried about at the moment is how quickly players can traverse the map. Maybe once I get my hands it'll fall into place a bit better.

Snipers is seemingly just Slayer Pro with Sniper/Pistol starts and drops containing Beam rifles, Snipers and more grenades.

 

[HiredN00bs]

Does CoD even have weapons that spawn on the map? But yes, that's one of the more obvious perks of variable weapon spawns--more map utilization.

I could have sworn... *puts on detective pants*

EDIT: Whoops! Apparently just just made it so you didn't need a HDD to play Co-op campaign and Firefight.

I think he was referring to the player spawns.

Interesting how much of the match is just the guy running around looking for the other team.

Also sniper looks harder to use than Reach (which is probably a good thing).

 

[BigShow36]

There's a sniper kill thats blatantly a miss. Pretty sure it's on LAN too.
