The more people from here that get a ps4, the better my friends list will.
Except for Xand.

This will get some use come Halo 5 previews time.

One thing I actually am excited to see from Halo 5, Sparth's art come to life even more. I mean 343 pulled off some good looking stuff in Halo 4 but Halo 5 regardless should have much better environments with all that extra power.
But seriously this gif has me excited for next-gen enviroments

But not yet.

Killzone looks pretty, but the game is just so boring (well, the other ones were). But yeah. Can't wait to see what 343i can do on next-gen hardware... Even if Halo 4's art direction was pretty awful.
Yeah was never a big fan of Killzone but Mercenary on the Vita was surprisingly good and this one seems to have a lot more open area's of combat which I am loving. Lets hope Halo 5 has that too.But not yet.

It was more so the enemy art direction I didn't like in 4, everything else was fine by me, just needed some more details here, less 2D backgrounds but at least it had dem rocks!
(seriously, that rock guy deserves a promotion)
And with a cross game chat like partycgat on xbox a friendlist on the PS has a purpose

Where's my royalty cheque?
You modded that on there or similar? I was looking for an assault themed avatar and google image search served that gem up. Thanks, cheque's in the mail.
Nice CC work and bulletin Q&A by the way mate.
Yeah. It will be interesting to see if 343i keeps up with the overly scripted QTE corridor shooter theme they were apparently going for in Halo 4.
I actually didn't mind the enemies. It seemed to work with the story the campaign was telling. It was the weapon and ship redesigns that bothered me. And even more so, the awful colour schemes that are apparent in the second half. But yes. Those rocks were great! The third level is amazing visually (also my favourite gameplay-wise)

Is that a space elevator? That works?
Was always disappointed as we never saw Halo's space elevators in action, though New Mombasa Space Elevator's collapse in ODST was awesome (and scientifically accurate). EDIT was disappointed because i never understood the design well and seeing it in action would've made it clearer (what the hell are the rings for?). That said, i think Stinkles said something about the elevators once here... Something about them being the elevators motors essentially i think?

Shotgun Ricochet? I hate the Halo community sometimes.

I have a feeling they might be going in a different direction. They stopped referring to the series as the forerunner trilogy and they are so quiet about Halo(5?) None of that makes sense unless they decided to change directions. They could totally walk away from the Forerunner being the main protagonist and pit Chief against the UNSC. The only thing I could see is
The UR-Didact is still alive or they introduce the ISO-Didact. That would be weird though because Bornsteller didn't have the hate for humans that the Ur-Didact did, in fact he befriends a few of them in the books and even has a fondness for them. I guess they could pit both Didacts against each other, a little unfinished business there. It would be cool if that is what Chief is looking for. The IsoDidact's cryptum.
So, you removed Meltdown, a map big enough and symmetrical enough for CTF because of an apparently community feedback, but Skyline remains in even though it's been proven to be objectively broken for 5v5 CTF? Does Skyline know where the bodies are buried? That's the only thing that explains why a map that doesn't even function properly in a gametype remains in a playlist while a perfectly functional one gets removed.
Still no word after over 2 months. Can't believe they've kept a perk under a paywall for this long

Exactly what I'm thinking. I'd love a Halo game set in the Forerunner Trilogy.
It was on waypoint. Waypoint is full of idiots. They don't deserve a good Halo.
Also 343 brought Neutral flag but not one flag back? Weird
this should be the "ODST" like spin-off series.
or the beefed-up spartan ops game.
with the choices made in Halo 4, the sooner Halo gets to breath air in a new corner of the universe, the better.

It's weird being excited for a Killzone game and not the next Halo game right now. I feel like I'm in some weird alternate universe.
poncho wearing Chief in CG cutscene vs actual next-gen game...
I'm still looking forward for Halo over KZ, tho.

I am super excited for Killzone but also also excited for Halo 5. Especially since thats when I plan to get the new Xbox. Maybe even a special edition if I like what they do with the game.

eh I'm not really a fan of Killzone's gameplay, so yea not excited for that. Can't deny how amazing the graphics look though
Shadowfall looks really good, but I am a tad skeptical after Killzone 3 (though I feel KZ2 is one of the best FPSes this generation).
Previews are good and gaffer impressions are positive, for whatever it's worth. I plan on buying it. All DLC maps will be free and there's no weapon unlock system aside from attachments. It runs at 60fps, too. I can't not support that.

Looks good but all i can think about KZSF gameplay is that first reveal... goddamn it looked so boring... A small burst and a enemy drops (i don't mind "bullet sponge" enemies as long as they act in interesting ways, and preferably react to getting shot), no variety in enemies (unlike Halo)... Yeah, perhaps they've shown much since and perhaps it does have more than what was in the first showing but that first impression wasn't very positive.

If we ever get another unconventional, non-Chief game I want to play as Bornstellar during the books. Gameplay is Journey meets Out of this World / Another World.

Here some new MP stuff.
Wasn't feeling the MP after the gamescom video, but it's growing on me a lot. Will be a very nice alternative in regards to small scale battles compared to bf4's large scale stuff.

Is anyone here a gaming monitor nerd?
I'm looking for a new monitor for next gen (my gaming monitor that i have now doesn't have HDMI). In the 22" to 24" range. Can anyone link me to a good monitor (ASUS brand?) on amazon or newegg.
I feel like a total newb so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I got an ASUS VE248H from Newegg last year and was satisfied. HDMI VGA and DVI so I can leave my 360 and Mac plugged in, 2ms black to black response time, 1080p And LED backlight with very little bleed. Was $180 when I got it.

That sounds great. I personally see the Forerunner time era as the perfect one to tackle a different genre with the Halo franchise.
Agreed!

Thanks for the fast reply. That's pretty much exactly what I want. It's a tad cheaper now on amazon too!
A 3rd person action adventure game would be amazing.
It seems like it would a cool way to enable planet-hopping exploration as well.

They also told us that all the pre-order armor would be available to everyone eventually, but kind of forgot to mention that they'd make people pay for the game all over again to get it.

Resistor perk will become available in the Halo 4 Game of the Next Year Edition.
I loved Halo 3 MP when it was filled with tons of players. Now with a smaller pool of players, the hit detection is even worse
yeah it seems like the boost of players already has worn off

high level MLG and really low level TS still has tons of players.
My map did not make it. What a shame..
Sorry :/
Killzone gif looks pretty great, but I am definitely much more excited to see what 343 can do with next gen hardware for H5.
Other than a few small things, I am pretty happy with the art direction the new team took. All the Covenant don't need to look like lizards tho. My Awaking,: The art of H4, is on my main art shelf all the time.

I found the source of the pics and the answer to your question.
It's from one of my active loadout screens. On that map the bomb drops into that location by spawning high above the map (about a 7 second drop) to prevent players from passing to their teammates by tossing it off the floating map and having the bomb respawn at center.
