Yes, I'm loving SWAT. Just got a killtacular on Abandon (and went +18).
And I used to hate this map; I always getting destroyed with power weapons.
It's fairly common knowledge that Swat is easy.
So now you love this map cause of no boom boom rockets or is it boltshot?
And Swat

Perfect.
idk what it was, but it said if you buy a T-Mobile phone you get "exclusive" Halo 4 stuff

Podcast with Griesemer. It wasn't a mistake, but there was some internal disagreement. Jones settled it by making the change in the final hour. It's good to be king, or in this case, Creative Director.
I'm just seeing this now. This is fantastic.
There's been so many debates on what actually happened regarding the pistol, even rumors that it was a quick edit in the code no one knew about until the game shipped. It's great to have it finally cleared up.
Thank you!
Best thing is that it used to say "could careless" and he edited it into "could care less".

Certain cutscenes are outsourced as CG, with breathtaking results
Have you noticed that the Mantis looks like a Promethean Knight? Connections between humans and the mysterious Forerunners are revealed
Halo 4 will explore certain characters, such as Cortana's transition from Jen Taylor to Dylan Rider2.jpg)
The Forerunners ruled the galaxy with an iron fist, with books revealing powerful weapons never appearing in campaign
With Halo 4, you can customize your character by never before

I know I get a great deal of "abuse" for my Your and You're and similar things but "I could care less" drives me insane.

Just like when people say "all intensive purposes" when they really mean "all intents and purposes".
Have to try this later, love this kind of stuff.

So is everyone expecting a big update after new years?
I'm not, so when it doesn't happen I won't bitch on GAF about it.
lol no, late january or february we might get an update that still doesn't fix most of the stuff.
File Browser and small forge maps would be nice as soon as possible..

whats wrong with BO II?
A lot more frustrating. The gameplay just sucks. I hate the whole "aiming down sights" crap. The extremely fast kill times are frustrating. The who sees first style of gameplay pisses me off.
It has neat features and all, but the core gameplay just straight up blows. Looks like it's a reverse Halo 4, haha.

His answer basically boils down to "it isn't what I like!"
I dunno, a lot of people don't seem to like it.
Plus this "lag compensation" is a load of shit. And the maps are pretty bad too.
The maps are the worst part. They really make me appreciate Reach's maps.
The map on the aircraft carrier is the worst playspace in any game I've ever played. Horrible map.

So my friend found a bug with Forge & weapons, mainly Covenant & Forerunner ones.
If you head into the Forge gametype settings, and change the starting weapons via the Base Player Traits, you can overwrite weapons in people's personal loadouts.
So we changed it to Incineration Cannon to start off with, and we found a bugged model of it, with a lot of the gun missing.
To stop killing MobileGAF users some more, I'll just leave some hyperlinks here:
iCannon Bug
iCannon Bug 2
Scattershot Bug
Sword Bug (bugged Sword on floor)
BiRi Bug
BiRi Bug 2
So we tried experimenting with other Forerunner weapons, and found that the Scattershot, Binary Rifle & Energy Sword were bugged out, for the Sword, you spawned just holding the 'sword activator' bit, not the actual Energy and when dropped, is just like an empty Sword, while the BiRi and the Scattershot were missing their grips.
On-host, if you try to drop these weapons, they'll simply float in mid-air with their missing parts, you can walk through them and you are unable to pick them back up.
We tested every single weapon in Halo 4 via the Base Player Traits thing, and found nothing wrong with other weapons, other than putting a weapon such as the DMR or Carbine, will spawn you with the DMR Noble skin, or the Carbine Reign skin, even if you haven't got them unlocked, but we already knew about this.
Came to the conclusion it is related to spawning with weapons like this, then starting the game as a Monitor will force it to happen.

Biggest bullshit is they could have made Liches the new scarabs. Those things can fucking fly it would be rad.

yep and then they decided to put that dumb mech assault looking robot which doesn't even look like it fits in the Halo universe.
It would be sweet. If you had to like... time a jump to get into the Lich and kill off the covenant in there and jump out as it blows up behind you... Another thing, why the fuck does Chief have fall damage?
I actually really like the Mantis and the Mantis sections.

I have no clue about game development but how much space does a complex AI like the Scarab require?
And I'd love to see a giant battle with Liches flying around and you have to destroy them like the Titan gametype of BF2142.

Consider my mind blown.
When getting out of the ghost, you can now pick which side you can get off it?
If this is old my mind will be blown. I really dont think it was in Reach?
By using the right analogue stick and looking left or right you can choose which side you dismount the ghost.
Very very useful, i remember in Halo 2 going to a weapon and stopping either sideways or regularly depending on where the weapon is, knowing which side your going to get off it.
Well god damn.

No idea but I think most of us would take a hit in the graphics department for the scale back.
That's why those quotes Dax posted are worrying. Why why why why are they trying to make Halo into some shitty linear game like all the rest. No. No. No. You up the scale. Introduce more freedom.
If they really make it more linear and set piecy... RIP Halo but for real.
That is really badass. No idea how long it took to figure that out. Can't imagine the patience needed to complete all the steps.

Halo is just missing kill streaks. That's what will put it over the top. Call in a Scarab in the middle of a battle. A mac cannon. Maybe the flood. A bunch of drones.
