And that power weapon is on the map which you are going to reveal accidentally in your next post.There are also mancannons.
Edit.: So my trap isn't working.

Haha murder pad, reminds me of guardian. The excitement is killing me!
Idk if I can last until:
A) September
B) October
C) November
D) December
Hehehe jk
Are the trajectories more consistent this time around?
In halo 3 they were awful, many times you'd just fall through them or not get pushed far enough.
They were a lot better in Reach, but occasionally it seemed like the movement boosts from armor abilities would throw off their calculations.
Oh and the dreaded midair beat down instantly kills your velocity!
I would actually like the ability to control your path in man cannons to a certain degree. Sorta like what we saw on Narrows where your could long jump if you crouched at a certain point in flight. Or like the lifts in Midship where if you clipped it rather than jumping in it completely you wouldn't lift as long. Something subtle.
Edit: also, being able to toggle input display in theater mode would be awesome. Like in fighting games.

So much more.So I played The Ark yesterday on Legendary and while I found it was much easier then when I first played it back in 07' it was also a lot funner than any Reach Campaign mission.
And thanks to bungie.net's stat tracking feature I can see how much I've improved since my very first Campaign run which was also on Legendary.
2007:
2012:
dat death reduction
Finally, the lighting and skyboxes of H3 > Reach.

Halo 3 is the far superior game, it is very laggy though!

speaking of, how do you control/manage the jumps on swordbase? sometimes i can barely make it to the 2nd floor, other times i manage the 3rd no sweat. i've never managed to replicate either with any sort of consistency. whats the dealio?
i dont want to hear swordbase sucks
he should have it saved. not as spectacular as you might think but it got done!
OBJECTION!

I think I already know the answer, but what are y'alls views on killcams? I know I know, call of duty esque and such. I also know they probably won't happen. Personally I wouldn't mind it; I like seeing the err of my ways.

Keep it out.
Jeez I haven't Swordbase in like a year lol. I think if you jump as you're entering the lift, or about to lift off, you'll get to the highest level. It takes a little timing and practice amd you'll be doing it with consistency.

I wouldn't mind a simple deathcam such as Gotham City Impostors does where your camera switches to them in third person. Hell, making your third-person camera shift to where they are would be okay. As for the whole winning game killcam thing, I say it'd be way too obstructive unless they did it in a simple way such as playing it in the background in the postgame lobby or something.
EDIT: Maybe post-game, the matches can have "end credits" where it's basically a montage/film reel of not only the winning kill, but the top 5/10 highest-scoring kills - as in, credit-wise... hence ending credits. I wouldn't mind waiting for a new lobby to spring up and having dongtages, or even hilariously stupid kills if you're playing something like BTB or Action Sack.

Man I'm really enjoying Reach multiplayer after giving up on it shortly after it's release.
I've been playing too many wrpg's lately, I needed a break so I decided to put in Reach a few weeks back & give it another go. So much fun! I'm really not that good with a 1.10 k/d ratio but not bad for 41 years of age.
It's actually amazing the difference in my play with a decent team. I play with my clan(we stink) and I could easily be -10 in what is most likely a loss. I play with a bunch of randoms & I could go +12 in victory. I still lose so many 1 on 1 battles which is why BTB suits my game best.
I actually laugh while playing this unlike when I play COD which I used to play a LOT(MW3 blows). We'll see how long that lasts.
Thanks for listening.

Yea but in Halo 4, I should be able to pick different teammates and rotate the camera. In Reach, once you change from your view, you can't rotate the camera.
Good point. Since respawning takes so little time I usually don't care.
The Invasion spawn system and camera bothers the heck out of me, though.
There are also mancannons.
Sold.
Related topic: fall damage, yay or nay? The map design and presence of man cannons implies nay. I'm hoping it's out, because I loved stuff like the mega man cannons on Avalanche.
According to Devo/Domino, no fall-damage, but there will still be the flinching animation when you drop a significant height.

Oh man...
Seems like a solid compromise to me. Super solder or no, you'd have to absorb the impact from any great height. As long as the map design doesn't allow you great advantages in plummeting down on people

Yup, I definitely like it.
I fondly remember crouching at the end of my falls in ODST just for the cinematic touch of it.
And yeah, Higher, what a topic for your first gaming-side thread.
Excellent compromise. It's a way to add that sense of weight and heft they described, while enabling map movement and some of the crazier design choices (Avalanche, baby).
No offense, but I'm staying out. Those kinds of threads never end well. I'll follow it for amusement, though.

Yeah I should have known how it would turn out based on every other thread related to Halo outside of Halogaf's current home.

Agreed but I think final kill-cam would be awesome.
If you've ever been to /v/, just keep in mind that opinions on Halo's legacy are more or less the same on GAF (much milder though). And don't ever say anything that could be construed as a slight at Valve.
Are we allowed to mention that place on here?
Yeah, me too. Page 1 has already started to look like a big batch of stupid.

That thread is killing me now. Everyone on Gaf talks like it's the most knowledgeable gaming forum there is but then you read threads like that and it makes you wonder if the people posting have ever even played the game they are discussing.

Well, I didn't know any of that.
Then again, I've been spending most of the week bitching about ME3's ending. It's a good way to stay in the dark.

"From my point of view, the Bungie employees are evil!"
Oh come on, you have to remember what you just posted was, when you get down to it, a comparison between a great but one-franchise studio and well-established companies with multiple succeses like Valve. Almost everyone that disagreed with the OP still acknowledged Bungie/Halo as being worthy of credit. Fucking Reach of all games, too.
Obscure analogy: It's like comparing Golden Sun and Final Fantasy. You just can't without someone getting pissed off, and they have a right to be.
Edit: And by comparing I mean "on the same tier".
Only a n00b deals in absolutes.
Is it an actual "stun", or just an animation people see? If there's a stun, then ugh.
I'm pretty sure one of them said it was a stun that didn't really interrupt movement as much as Reach's.

Hm... I'd like a confirmation from either of them. I hope there is no fall damage and stun.
