EDIT: Oh ferchrissakes...

HaloGAF, I haven't touched Halo 4 in ages but I'm in love with the Prefect armor and have some ideas on what to do with a Ricochet gametype variant. And I have some extra MSP to blow. Is the Champions Bundle worth it?

Do you have some kind of misguided nostalgia for One Must Fall?

Soundwave and I dated back in high school and I never really moved on.

That Mark V armor is so funny if you look past the green body paint. It's as if the dude tried to fit inside a Master Chief costume meant for a toddler.

Or maybe it's just a robot bikini?

 

[wwm0nkey]

Original Assault explosion tag was added in the patch apparently....hopefully modders get assault working!

So here is the survivor package. First game of the day and first time using it and within 5 minutes, I knew how terrible it was. The guy shot me with a rocket, and I would have died, but nope, a perk allowed me to live, in which I then killed the guy who shot me.

But even if you read like the Bungie mailsack or breaking in, you get the feeling they are heavily leaning for PS4.

All the devs were once asked, what games are they excited to play for next gen. Almost all were saying things like Infamous Second Son, Knack, Killzone, things like Kingdom Hearts 3, while a few did say Battlefield etc.

I just think they have a sour taste in their mouth because of MS and want to fully embrace Sony and their fans because they really need to show them why Bungie is a great studio.

Who knows, maybe they're hedging bets, I mean look how many Halo and Xbox fans are going ps4 next gen. Even the 180 on drm, online isn't bringing them back. Could be for nothing and we see them talk about exclusive Xbone content later near release. Plus they did say something about how their Halo fans might be rewarded.

Just by testing in customs, I can tell that it's potentially gamebreaking.

That's lame

Really really lame

I'll be on at 5am est if people want to play some Pit and Ricochet.

Shit like this is why I won't be buying this DLC. S the D, 343.

I would like to do this. Sure it will be available then?

Do people forget that Bungie approached Microsoft with Destiny first? I'm glad they turned them down.

testing

what means this testing,?

I'd like to think this, but that's not the way the industry works, most of the time. Money buys loyalty and third party exclusives.

I tested out Survivor in customs...

That's just pathetic. I can see why they developed it though, to give something to the fans that still play and like this perk and ordnancw/loadout system, but it just shows what Halo has become. Waste all your ammo trying to destroy vehicles and even then, the player inside doesn't die.

LOL Yeah, I got that much.

 

[heckfu]

Woof, that perk.

343 is synonymous with WTF at this point.

The player can still die if you aim directly at the player and not the vehicle.Also I have watched other videos were people were getting vehicle kills still even though the person was ejected from their vehicle.I don't like the ejecting part either.

That's an awesome GIF. I always remembered that line from the movie, but I don't recall ever seeing a GIF for it.

You know what else would make a great GIF? Bob Barker throwing his club saying "This guy sucks!" from Happy Gilmore.

How the fuck do you "aim directly at the player" if they're in power vehicles like the Mantis or the Banshee?

I used that exact same gif in response to a Frankie post a couple months back!!!!!

I meant for the vehicles were you can aim directly at the person in the vehicle like the warthog. I don't like this mod that much either.It does not work 100% of the time anyway.

But it does work. Nowise got it in one game.

I saw a youtube video were someone got a vehicle kill when someone was in a mongoose.I wish I can play around with this perk.Also a part of your shield will drain when you get ejected from the vehicle.

 

[Dongs Macabre]

Also a part of your shield will drain when you get ejected from the vehicle.

That's because of the damage done by the explosion of the vehicle, I believe.

 

[TCKaos]

If you were wondering what was in the TU, here are a shitload of unannounced weapon and armor skins someone found.

EDIT: A few of these appear to be related to Spartan Assault.

"post release support"


Bet you they'll start selling these individually for 160msp or 320 a pop.

 

[User 73706]

All these new skins and we still don't have an Orbital variant without the skull.

 

[Dongs Macabre]

So, I just played a game of BTB. A teammate and I wasted our clips destroying a guy's ghost, then he just pops out and runs away. Then another Ghost runs us over.

:/

Hoe did they make it worse....I mean I don't play anymore but holy shit.

Yep.I can try and play around with the armor mod later.You can also potentially die from falls when you get killed while in a banshee if you are using this perk.

 

[J10]

343 INDUSTRIES BE LIKE

"WHAT IF WE COULD TURN VEHICLES INTO ARMOR LOCK... BUT WHILE MOVING?"

 

[Fracas]

So this perk is free? I need to dust off my copy, if only for the laughs.

but not really

 

[HiredN00bs]

Adding more perks--Feels Like Halo™.

 

[Fata1moose]

Maybe they want to add all of these wacky perks because after Halo 4 there won't be doing them again. They just want to give perks one final hurrah, yeah that must be it.

 

[mo60]

I think pre Reach TU armor lock is worse than this.I don't get the comparison between both anyway.Survivor does not make you completely invincible while pre Reach TU armor lock grants you invincibility until it runs out.

Maybe.

I actually need a code too.

Woah

Edit: Can I get a code also? I can review the DLC for my friends that used to play Halo but stopped after Halo 4. I can get you like 10 sales 343 come on make the right choice.

As if it wasn't apparent enough before, but Halo truly is dead. RIP in peace.

Spoiler

what is the thought process in introducing shit like this? I just don't get it. Just WHY

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

The thing is, I can't bring myself to pick either of the new packages over stability. Stability is just too necessary.

The two maps in the DLC are nice. The Pit looks pretty faithful, save a lift and drop added to the sword room area (which I'm not sure I like), and Vertigo is smaller than I expected and not really symmetrical at all. It looks gorgeous though.
