Yeah I was quite impressed with the first three episodes, but the last two were bad.

Anyone know how I can get a high res or decent size image of my Halo 4 emblem? I've been trying to find one on waypoint but it's either obstructed when at a good size or tiny.

Who's seriously not playing this game anymore? I'm up to 2 weeks now.
Any YouTube versions of the SpartanOps Trailer. I literally fell asleep watching the VGA's.
80% commercials/ 20% trailer/music/Samuel L. Jackson getting censored. It was 4 in the morning, too.
But holy crap, the World Premiere things were amazing. Would have liked it, when Star Wars 1313 or Watch Dogs showed up, too. Those are definetely on my to buy list for next gen.

Honestly, who thought it was a good idea to show soo many medals on the screen at once and then to cram the 'kill-feed' text underneath? (taking pictures of my TV feels sooo 2005)
Not only do I have no idea what half of those medals are for (ironic, given I've been with Halo from the start and the changes that were supposed to make things easier to understand have made things overly complicated), but I also have no idea who I'm killing/what the hell is going on with my team mates.
Reach had this pretty much perfect. In game I could see that player x was just sniped or whatever. Now it's just a mess

White text can still GTFO. Unnecessary clutter for something you don't see in game
No u don't. U come here to bath in the misery and self loathing
Stop exposing my true feels!

You can watch it at Kotaku. It is not much and I would wait for the Extended trailer which contains more gameplay scenes and is coming this weekend according to David Ellis.Any YouTube versions of the SpartanOps Trailer. I literally fell asleep watching the VGA's.

I've never been killed more by bullets AFTER successfully getting to cover than in Halo 4. I would estimate that average game connection quality is akin to playing Mexicans in Reach. So infuriating. Poor Risen and his friends listened to me bitch last night in CTF far too much. Sorry man.
So this is actually happening to other people? Cool.

This?
You guys are on drugs. That's clearly a scarab.
That looks like skybox art or something.
Anyone have a link to the trailer, the one linked a few pages ago is gone. When abouts does it show in the VGA's?
That Phantom Pain trailer was amazing.
yeah, this. Don't know if it happens for players in the US as well but i live in Australia and laggy games have been far more frequent than in reach. black screens galore and being hit multiple times after im in cover.

Thanks!
Anything else worth watching? I know there where a ton of skits, I saw the Halo ones, worth watching the skits for any of the other games?

That SpOps trailer was dreadful 80% old stuff.

Oh wow, that trailer was horrible, I get that they paid a lot of money for the CGI but I didn't realize Spartan Ops was a 3 minute long CGI web episode every week. Its almost like they have given up trying to make and show off exciting gameplay moments and are just hoping the the CGI interests people.
I guess most of the stuff at the VGA's was CG? If so then I guess thats fair enough, but even still it really feels like they didnt make much effort with the gameplay so far.

The whole jungle section seems to have been cut or toned down looking at these concepts.

That actually does sound fun.
lack of dedis + jip = some crazy awesome stuff
Cause the jungle art looks reminiscent of "343 Guilty Spark". Seeing as tons of levels are throwbacks to older levels, it would not suprise me.
Yeaaaaaaap. Just crazy stupid fun
I forgot how awesome Halo CEA looks. Kinda disappointing Halo 4's environments didn't have that same variety within them
Still holding onto the hope of a Halo 2 remake/Anniversary next year

David confirmed on Twitter last night that the extended trailer would feature more gameplay.

I cant wait for the off screen shaky cam footage!
I was thinking there looks like a lot of potential jetpack exploit spots. Hope the soft kill barriers are in place.

Just from the idea of the map Wreckage reminds me of Burial Mounds.
The thing is it seems like they went a lot further with the debris this time round, the map looks too cluttered. :/ I think thats what they where going for, but the cluttered Call of Duty maps always turn into a campfest and I foresee people crouching with camo and boltshot a lot in the wreckage around the map.

Seems like it is Burial Mounds meets Ghost Town. I'm not sure how 2 flag is expected to play well. They did put 2 flag on maps like Abandon and Complex, too, so I'm not really surprised. Extraction is probably the best thing suited for it, but we've yet to get a taste of that in regular MM so far for some reason.

Well, since they got rid of 1-flag, we'll really have no choice.
I wish they'd have renamed this abomination "Infinity CTF" and put it in a designated playlist, with a normal CTF list for normal people.
Is there any chance they'll patch CTF to include 1-sided modes and not flagnum? Is it even technically possible?
What is the point of a mode identical to assault except without an arm time?
Yeah, we found out we won at that red carpet interview live, so our surprise is both genuine and double, because we basically had no idea what was going on. Then we couldn't keep the trophy, they send your real ones later, so we bought a karate trophy from a sports store so we could carry it around at the after parties.

We don't have assault either. Is that point enough?
And it's not identical, sneaking into the base with the bomb is pretty different from sneaking into the base to steal their flag. You can't use armor abilities/weapons while carrying the bomb, whereas you can just jetpack/camo into their base for the flag. And you only have to run across the map once in assault, and twice in 1-flag. To someone who hasn't played a lot of either, they may seem the same. The finer intricacies are quite different though.
What's more, both modes were fine. There was no need to remove or change them. It wouldn't have cost them an arm and a leg to port them over from Reach, would it?

That is awesome. Grats man. You guys should have won best shooter too.
Still find it weird that you guys didn't get to be on stage. Felt the same about the other winners who got their trophy at the pre-show.
Nothing is ever just a simple port over, especially when the game mechanics change.
Still need testing and UI and a entire round based system for one sided games.
They also run the risk of spreading the population too far out with this playlist for every game type system.

Honestly, did the game mechanics change so much from Reach?
The new AAs make stuff a lot more random, but that's not something specific to assault/1-sided CTF. And the other new stuff like weapons, vehicles are balanced already, because of the other game modes.
I don't see why you'd need that much testing specifically for assault/1-sided CTF and they could've done a beta if they wanted to. Biggest challenge would've been testing the flow of the maps for 1-sided objective, but they can retroactively fix a lot of that with forge anyway. And I don't see why maps that work in 2-sided CTF wouldn't work in 1-sided?
Well, throw all the classic objectives into one playlist. Or make 'em customs only, or weekend playlist, or...
Spike is now reporting that Claptrap makes a better trophy than your karate one.
Shit's rigged.
Karate trophy is the best one to go celebrating with, because people will enjoy your success while simultaneously fearing your moves. Mac agrees.

This. Best Xbox 360 game and graphics should have been on the stage at the very least.
Regardless congrats frankie and 343
