These numbers are quite encouraging for the Halo stream too. This is still early in the day in the US and they've got a fair bit of people.

So what's the consensus thus far on best Tactical Package?
I've been using shielding...

Resupply while starting with plasma grenades.

Not *using*...
Oh, well in that case it's hilarious.

Care to explain?
What exactly does resupply do?
Edit: hah, just got the medal "magic hands" for holding the ball for 50 seconds.
343 definitely put some time into making awesome medals.

You can pick up fallen grenades off of bodies.

Yeah I gathered that from the description, but does that mean EVERY body has a grenade on it? Or just if the player died holding grenades.

Goddamn, going from the Halo 3 default control scheme back to Reach is hard.

Only if they didn't use their grenades. Stinky cleared that up a week or so ago.

I think the player has to have grenades when he/she dies for someone with Resupply to pick them up.
You can only pick up grenades off of dead bodies with it. Most people start with regular grenades so starting with plasma and getting resupply gives you a decent amount of grenades.
Also I HIGHLY suggest getting regen field so you can instantly charge your shields after a battle (don't stand in it, only use it to start the charge)

I think it's just if the player died holding nades.

I think H4 just got patched...
Edit: Yup, just got patched, new welcome screen.

Hardly, Dota 2 is currently still in beta and is not free to play yet. The original Dota is still the most played game in the world. Dota 2 or any other ARTS currently cannot be played at MLG because of the exclusivity deal MLG signed with Riot.
Is it the ranks update?

It's the Iron Sights update
Of course, you can't have skilled ranks without iron sights.

Ranks (lol) won't come till 2013.
The warthog should have them too.

If I play any Action RTS it'll be DotA 2 because I'm still playing TFT DotA and I don't even want to deal with trying to learn any new crud. But Two years ago, the entire ARTS field was wide open. You had Demigod, Heroes of Newerth, League of Legends, and a bunch of other smaller titles. But LoL has dominated high-end competitive play--aside from Valve's own international titles I haven't heard much about it. The first-mover advantage and momentum are clearly on their side.

Yeah ranks will also only be on Waypoint.
Yeah, but they also mentioned you can view it for all playlists.. which mostly works if they just show it to you on Waypoint.
Personally prefer it there. Always wish I had the option to hide ranks in Halo 3, now you can stay blissfully unaware or check it online.

I keep trying to put Ghosts through the mancannons on Spire, but it never seems to work.

I know that the people that REALLY love ranks will be upset about it, but the majority of players just don't give a shit about ranks, so I see why they are going with Waypoint only.
LOL
Played so much 16 player CE in the day.
(I guess I was like 12 when Halo came out, so getting together with a bunch of guys to play with 4 Xbox's was what we did back then.)

I think he has a point. Halo's multiplayer is superb, but the campaign is what sets it apart.
I don't see what's funny, people who LAN'd with 16 player setups would obviously be in the minority. I know I never played it with more than 3 other people...
Blame P2P.
Yeah I was still in high school with Halo 1. We carried our boxes to friends houses on weekends pretty often to jam on 8-16 player multi...but I would have to say that mostly it would be dorm kids. Just makes sense.
I don't see why they're going with Waypoint only. Why cripple a feature for the players that want it, especially considering the bragging 343 has done about being able to modify the game post-launch?
I would have thought you were too busy banging chicks all day in HS to be carrying OG Xboxen down the street.
yeah same here, I guess I'm just assuming that's what everyone did

OGRE 1 Perfection on stream. Day is complete.

Because the majority of the player base doesn't want "ranked" playlists (look at any trends of ranked vs. unranked playlist population in not just Halo, but just about any game). This way, all the playlists can be "ranked" for those that want to look it up, and the majority that don't want that or don't care aren't bothered by it.
Personally, I'd prefer if the ranks were in the game, but I see why they are doing it the way they are.
I laughed.
This Halo 4 ad they keep showing in the MLG stream (and I've seen it several other places) would be nice if they threw a few lines of dialogue in there.

Bolded: Yep, that is stated much better than I did it.
yeah but I want to have a cool thing next to my name to brag about that makes people play worse if they have a worse thing next to their name

But it hinders the players who sometimes want to play the same playlist competitively and sometimes socially. For example, if CTF was a playlist with ranks, I'd love to play it competitively, but I'd also like to play it with friends who don't necessarily want to play ranked. If I don't want to lose my rank in CTF, I won't be able to play it socially.
