This is why I shouldn't be able to spawn with the boltshot. I did this in the last game I played.

The lethal ending was pretty dark. I may try to do a no kills or a ghost run next.

I played stealth, but killed a lot of people. I only killed one target though (the first one) because I didn't know how to beat that part without it. I've since found out but I haven't played through again.
Overall amazing game

So here's a sudden question. I'm grabbing reference shots for the Marines in the beginning of Shutdown. All of the marines in here are male. Every checkpoint I can think of is entirely male Marines or Spartans. Was there any female Marines or Spartans in Halo 4 in gameplay?

Well worn territory, but completely agreed.
And its saying a lot, considering how ODST's FF had the dropped connection ending the match "feature".
Is she in any gameplay moments?

Definitely one of the best games of 2012. I usually hate stealth games but this one was different. I did play one level without killing anyone of being spotted (save for the target) and it was very interesting. I like how many ways this game can be played.

Yeah, I like Spartan Ops.
I still miss firefight, but the combat is what draws me to Halo. Give me endless rooms of enemies to wade through and I'd be just fine, as long as the composition gets mixed up.
In terms of providing a narrative mode that continues the campaign? Well, no. The CGI stuff is great, but its so completely disconnected from the chapters themselves. But as a bunch of maps that you and up to three other buddies jump into to clear out, its awesome. Its basically Rainbow Six's terrorist hunt or akin to GRAW's co-op elimination mode. Pick a map, fill it with enemies in different permutations, and let loose.
Thats fun to me, because its straight up combat without the fluff, and unlike Firefight it isn't an exclusively defensive mode. But it still feels unfinished somehow, or at least not even up to the standards used when describing the mode. Things I'd like to see: Scoring, more optional objectives, scaling, skulls, in-game cut-scenes that showcase player spartans, and more of connection to the overarching episode plot. Why do we have to reactivate Galileo's defenses three separate times?
For those who only played the first one or two missions I'd recommend going through the rest. They get better, and more varied as they progress.

And is it me but were they not actually battles? As in, they would not go to completion unless you participated.
It's way more fun when two factions fight each other, like in H2 when the Brutes fought Elites.
I'm hoping the Flood return and infect Prometheans in Halo 5. It will at least make Prometheans more interesting
We need the Flood back period Without them the entire series is beginning to fall apart.
I'm extra late but yes.

Just one, its the pelican pilot in Chapter 3 at the very end, just her voice anyway because you cant see the pilots.
EDIT:Oh, Its Chapter 4 Here.

That one campaign challenge is going to be rough. Requiem Legendary with Mythic, Thunderstorm, Tilt, and Tough Luck? Ouch.
Just did last week's one with those skills on Dawn, and holy shit the elites were tough to take down.
Also have to laugh at campaign challenges with the famine skull. Thats just unfair ;P

Welp. I'm blind, I swear I checked. >_<
Ninja, Ghostayame and Hienz teamed and are playing a 3v3 gamebattles tourny. http://www.twitch.tv/ninja
It's not so bad, especially in coop. The Cartographer room is a little tough, but there are enough plasma pistols around that you can get the 3 (!!!) overcharges per Elite to drop shields. Then get to the Banshee on the bridge as fast as you can, skip past everyone to the door. When you get to the open area with the Ghosts, jump on the rocks to the right (on the cliff edge) and you can skip half of the big structure.
It's a pain in the ass, but Requiem is about as speedrun-able as Dawn is, so that helps. Wish challenges like Shooting and Looting (X kills in any game mode) would come to Halo 4, they allowed for so much more player creativity in choosing what they wanted to play.

Was he discussing how its wrong to enslave the pokemon in balls? And to always leave them out of their balls?
NullPointer

hah, good tip. Will definitely keep that one in mind. Would still want to pick up the rockets and saw though.
And yeah, Dawn was do-able as a duo (say that three times fast), but man those elite shields. Not looking forward to taking on Knights with those skulls enabled. Not with how quickly their shields regen and how trivial it is for them to teleport away.
Haha, just noticed him.
I really hope a new Pokemon's announced. Playing through White 2 for the first time, and I'm addicted to pokemon again.

Shootout in Valhalla was one of the best encounters in all of Halo 4. Reminded me of The Covenant.

Yep. I wouldn't even attempt to solo it though, and I just can't find any enjoyment in playing anything less than Heroic.
Call me when they do something new.
I want open world, 3rd person, 3D Pokemon RPG. Make the fighting fun also, fuck the chance statistics games.
it wasnt that great (the mantis one right?) especially a second playthrough.
Shooting and slow moving/ straight flying banshees with infinite instant mantis respawns is mundane. they got marked down in halo reach's reviews for stuff like that. its not that exciting to shoot fish in a barrel.

At least the DMR is accurate. In Halo 3 there was even less of a margin of error against the AR and you had the spready burst of the BR.

Also funny story.
By the end of Halo 3 I was hoping Reach was gonna be something completeley different. It wasn't a Halo 4, it was Halo: REACH.
I was hoping for basically a whole new game. Something maybe Ghost Recon esque. Like a more gritty realistic game from the halo universe. Then I saw the leaked screens and was actually disappointed it looked like Halo.
Games modeled after the original Halo games should still be "Halo" But I'm totally down if they were to make a game with an entirely different feel and way of playing.
A 3DS/Wii U cross-platform Pokemon MOBA would pretty much force me to try that genre of games, but it probably makes too much sense to ever happen.

Maybe this week? Fuck yeah. I would assume this means mobile-friendly forums.

We all care. I'm looking forward to this way too much btw
no DMR is refreshing
I hope they're making groups searchable.
Big website changes happen right around game reveals/launches...
If they want to launch Destiny this year I still think they need as long as possible to market and hype it. Way before E3 long.
Woah, cool. Tomorrow night sounds like a good possibility if they continue the trend of Tuesday site maintenance.
I'm sure there won't actually be any Destiny news to go along with it, other than maybe a slight tease, but after this long anything is something.
You can hit Reply, then Cancel. Then copy the URL for the link directly to the post. Hopefully they add functionality for that in bungie.next.

Awesome video on what was cut in Halo 4

The Stasis thing was interesting, it's like a gun that shoots trait zones.

I did link directly to the post brah
Huh. It just links me to the top of page 3.
It's working for me but I am on my phone so who knows. But yeah I learned that little trick for the times I didn't want to search a post history. I just clicked the link in his post history and used that instead.
Either way, definitely looking forward to the update.
