lol - l31untman got banned a couple of weeks ago, didn't he? I guess uploading a dozen or so Halo 4 movies won't hurt him; he's got nothing left to lose.

I finished it (on Normal), with a lot of breaks, in about 8 hours. A GOOD player could shave a couple of hours off that, easy (the first time through).
There'll be 2-hour speedruns in a year or so.
I'm curious how long it'll take me on Heroic. I'm guessing considerably longer.
What do you recommend in terms of first run for a person on here, heroic or normal?
Hard to tell on the Youtubes - but does it richochet off the rocks behind the play and bounce back into the opponents back? It kinda looks like there are two bullet trails (one to the rocks, one off the rocks and into the opponent)
Start a thread for this. It's a good deal.

Beam Rifle sounds amazing.
They removed the in combat, under attack, and killed indicators from team waypoints?
I knew I had to finish it in one run-through. I took Frank's advice and played on Normal - I'm glad I did.
If I were playing for the first time at home, I'd probably go with Heroic... and take my time. (You can always drop down - or move up - if it's too hard, or too easy.) On my own time, I'd spread it out over a couple (or a few!) days, and wouldn't mind the extra difficulty.
Probably not the answer you were looking for. Sorry.

Canadians, Futureshop has the regular version of Halo 4 for $39.99 and the coupon code expires tonight.

My teammate's waypoint turns yellow. I ask, "How many guys are you fighting?"
"None."
"So you're just firing your gun at nothing."
"Yep."
"Great."

That's disappointing. Those were very useful for supporting your team, especially when playing with people that do not talk. Of course, then there was this scenario:
My teammate's waypoint turns yellow. I ask, "How many guys are you fighting?"
"None."
"So you're just firing your gun at nothing."
"Yep."
"Great."

Heh, the opposite of what I want to do, but what I'll likely end up doing.
Has the difficulty description text changed then?
No more "The way it's meant to be played."?

I'm just not seeing how this is supposed to be a better objective gametype than something like Assault. I guess it's kind of like Territories, where you have to hold down a spot until it's locked/whisked away. Seems like there's only one disco ball gun per team, is that right?
Certainly doesn't seem better than 3-Plots.

Its 2 body shots, he's just playing with a high sensitivity and swiping the reticule rather quickly.

Extraction seems like a smaller, not as fun version of Dominion or King of the HIll.

No that answer is great, I will have to decide between a more challenging initial campaign run or a quicker campaign run and more multiplayer time is all.

...except that the second shot was wide-right by a huge margin. Someone screenshot that.

I'm still not a fan of not being knocked out of scope while being shot.
I'll reserve that final judgement when I play the game though.

Its like COD's Sabotage with multiple boxes to explode.
But you can see and hear when the shot fires, and the reticle is well away from the body. It's not a swipe snipe.
Once you "get" the reinforcement aspect, it makes defending a base do-able for a single person, which really, really changes the feel. Like, it doesn't suck to be stuck ina base holding it yourself, it's actually challenging and not as chaotic as territories can be.
Why didn't anyone mention campaign theater being cut?

Bases in Extraction?
I hope this is addressed in today's Bulletin.

shaddup, Tunavi.
This is actually good news, as I hang back and play defense a lot in objective games. Nice to know that I could potentially defend an area solo, as is the case a LOT.
I guess the boxes are considered "bases" to defend.

looks fun but damn the the sprint sway sucks donkey balls... doesn't flow like Reach did at all... when turning is looks weird like he's sprinting sideways....
This is a sequential screencap of the "kill."
You can see when the shot is fired because the reticle blooms.

Obviously the shot ricochets off the rock and kills him

Thank the gods for that.

Yeah, who's being a dick?
We know we aren't getting theater, thats fine. no game is perfect.
I just want to know why they are trying to hide it from us. That's not how community relations work.

wow lots of videos today.
lol is this true
Wow, why do they remove all the small details that we've been used to for years? Hasn't 343's approach been to simplify UI elements and such? Why would you remove helpful cues? This along with the simplified combat dialog confuse the fuck out of me. No player cues, simplified the combat dialog to the point where its useless but they still display in all caps that YOU HAVE THE FLAG. What the hell?

I admit, I haven't been following the development of Halo 4 as much as I should be, so this may not be a surprise to some people, but did they remove the secondary weapon icon from the HUD? That was an incredibly useful feature and I'm baffled by its exclusion. Has there been any reason given for this change?
It's simpler because there's less information.
I wasn't trying to be awkward about it. It was a genuine question. Did someone confirm it or is it just based on leakers / early copies? I'm just vainly hoping what seems to be true isn't the case.

So, I think people were jumping on Moa too hard this time.. If I would have got the boxset I would have never recognized that as a spoiler.. it was just a disc image. Now after everyone freaked out over it I think I have had something spoiled since my brain tried to fill in the blanks. Needless to say, the way he 'spoiled' something was fairly subtle and innocent, at least from what I can see.
Hah, that looks like a nice set.
Thats an amazing gif.

Cool, looks like I have some fun things to watch.

The red X's don't show up on your UI, either. The Xs only show on your radar, which isn't in Slayer Pro.

Because lots of dumb players in play test never noticed it
(Ie they're making the game for people who abandon it in a week and not for the people who play it for years)
