Thank you, my kind blue M&M.
Scattershots. Where they at? I think seeing orange lines darting through the trees would be scarier.

I still can't believe they used that picture.
I have no idea how it plays but I hope it's a total clusterfuck. The shotguns rain down every ten seconds, meaning that you have a constant hail of shit coming down and killing players in addition to the shotguns themselves.
Now I really want to make a decent medium-sized map that uses all of the trees but also has bases and stuff. A competent forested map.
Watch the Ordnance drops kill more people than the players do.

how come?
I know, next they won't be letting us do a visor zoom because that button will be mapped to Promethean Vision, which every spartan will be carrying.

Oh snap, 5fps

For me it's not Halo fatigue, I still play H3 almost everyday. But everyone's already covered why H4 is a disappointment. I believe 343i will continue to cater to the casual fotm players in future titles while we long time fans are sitting here scratching our heads. Hell they're already showing how much they care about competitive players.
Insulting I say.

Because of how well it represents the current state of the franchise. We've gone from a franchise that was leading the pack for console FPS, to an old man sitting in a wheelchair who's trying to stay hip with the other FPS games.
Who's online to play some frustrating core experiences, then? Otherwise I'll just Forge all by my lonesome, making a raptor paddock map...
Jurassic Park can't come soon enough to theaters. Heading to Vegas for NAB, and then the next week a Halo LAN with a side of JP 3D. Hyped, even if the melodica cover's majesty will never be topped.

Bigger, not Elzar puny size:
I fully expect Elzar to pay a high price for someone to shop the name Andy on to that hand.

I remember making a thread last year suggesting Grenades to be placed on the "Up" part of the d-pad so you could still switch while using Ordnance.
Yeah, sorry. That button is reserved for premium Ordnance re-roll members only.

Forge Island Glitch!
Ghazi &

Oh Man, my bad. Went back 3 pages and saw it. Has anyone went up in forge space yet??
Some other people found it earlier, it's pretty sweet.
Jesus christ old news. I thought this was a real glitch
Noice.
Here's a fun glitch that I'm not sure only happens on Forge Island:
1. Make a teleporter on the starting island.
2. Go out to one of the edges, make a porter exit there
3. Go back to big island, spawn any object
4. Try to take it through the porter
5. Watch as the piece fails to port with you and you're pulled back across the map to Big Island at a high rate of speed

That looks fantastic.
I threw down a few trees and just running through and around a couple was awesome. Can't wait to see what people come up with. Those rock walls also just made me smile.
I also did a quick green screen box, dropping yourself in there is super disorienting, but somehow cool.
To the other conversation going on, how do you get the causals, the BKs, the babbies, the randoms (and I'll include myself in this group) to want to play in a more competitive fashion?

By now you should've already been playing competitively from previous titles, if not just shows you care too little to improve your own skill. So it would be useless or you started playing halo with 4. You should have started years ago. Competitive halo seems dead.
Some people don't have the time to spend obsessing over getting better; they just want to be matched up with people reasonably close to their skill leave and have "competitive" games in the sense they don't get stomped on all the time. The idea of "if you're not trying to be pro, why are you playing" misses the point of mass-market games entirely.

That's the point. They don't care. It's Halo. They'll play whatever is in front of them so might as well make it competitive.
It definitely looks pretty. I hate how buildings in the background are all blurry, though. Far Cry 3 does the same thing with islands in the background and it looks absolutely awful.

I was considering asking someone to photoshop Josh or Frankie's face onto this earlier, but the 343 logo is fine.

Are you trying to say social is a form of competitive play? Or are you saying H4 is competitive?
Cause if you're saying people who "obsess" over getting better just want to be pros is totally off mark. Social has never matched people close to skill ever, ranks did that relatively great. Now the problem is halo has shifted since Reach to cater to the mass casuals who could careless about improving their skills and just want to join in a social match so they can push the left thumb stick up the whole time with no thought. Sorry but competitive and skill gap only works in ranks. RIP in peace Halo.
Damn, this thread's priority really is to make shops spitting venom at 343 huh. This is the reason why Frankie doesn't want to provide any insight here or even be involved anymore, which is unfortunate.
Yeah. Will download it once I get home. Looks pretty interesting to just screw around in
Haha, nice.
I love this thread.

The maps in Community FFA are so badly designed for that playlist.

I'm sad my theory that the VTOL and Siege Bike will be in Forge Island is wrong.
Rumble Pro is pretty good in it.

Nice image. Looks like you can squeeze Hemorrhage on it.
I'd actually be interested to see an Avalanche/Sidewinder map on the large island. Please, not paradiso.
That's why you have ranked and social. So the people who don't have time to spend obsessing over getting better can pick up a controller and play.
I don't get what you're trying to say about reasonably close to their skill level. If you don't routinely play, it'll be hard to match you up, especially since others will play.
It's like saying you play basketball once a week, but then don't like the fact that when you get on the court, there are people who play for hours a day and and are better than you.
I'm the furthest thing from a pro, I just like to join, play some matches and leave. But I'd like to know if I'm getting better. It's part of life. Whether it's school, sports, work. It means nothing to me if we all get smiley faces on our tests at school as opposed to actual grades.
