Hey guys, here's 3 pics of MC with a blurred background, enjoy that until E3!
Even though those pics barely tell us anything, at least hyping it up/going full-on CSI with you guys is a hell of a lot of fun.

He always complains that 85% is basically no bloom.
Not confirmed there's no info til E3, I'm just speculating really. If there hasn't been much info shown at this point, why not just wait til E3? Although I could imagine small tidbits will be mentioned from time to time.
And man, I still can't believe how long we obsessed over the grainy H4 footage from that "Working at 343" vidoc. Was it ever made clear whether it was actually Halo 4?

Haha this gif never gets old.
Still looks vaguely like Reach on Countdown to me.
I'm not complaining, though. And 85% isn't basically 0%, only on host.
That's kind of what I was thinking, but I still don't understand that black "visor outline" or whatever that was. Although now that I think about it, it wasn't in the short clips from the formal reveal.

That's what I thought, and that AR for sure looked exactly like Reach's.

It was, but it was made transparent. Check it out: http://youtu.be/f6UL63Zo-uo?t=1m52s. My guess is that they're making it transparent in multiplayer, and opaque in campaign. Or maybe customizable/optional across the board.
rofl, amazing.

Though there was no real fix for grenades, 85% bloom greatly reduced the pervasive aim/spam frustration, and the tweaks to armor lock, sword, and camo reduced some of the occasional annoyances, it was bleed through that made the gunplay feel good again. Now every time I get 3 shots into a guy and he just goes for the punch I say "fuck it" and we do the double melee dance for simultaneous deaths.
Then I turn off the xbox and wait for Halo 4.
Such a frustrating mechanic... Encourages kids to crouch shoot showing half their head from the other side of the map.
Edit: we haven't seen any non 85% TU bloom gametypes have we? I would love to see 343 release a handful of different bloom gametypes to toy with. 300% would be interesting
terrifying

This is why digital downloads are the future. Sucks that people will miss out on the greatness of MP Trilogy since it's so rare and expensive.

Thanks for linking that Cyren. Sundance seems genuinely worried about Halo. This is the second time I've seen him interviewed in which he seems to want to bitch heavily about Reach but censors himself.
Hopefully Halo 4 will be amazing for everyone, casuals and competitives alike. It sounds like 343 is somewhat more invested in the pro community than Bungie was (at least during the post Halo 3/Reach-era).
Man with the Golden Gun is available in the Anniversary Classic section of the Reach playlist compendium, just make sure you have host and the game type is Slayer.
I agree
Cool story bro.
WTF does the AR info at the end have to do with any of that? It's not affected by any of that.

Because after playing it you want to break your neck.

Crouching was a cool mechanic in Shadowrun because there was very little actual cover, as far as I remember. Not very many rails, or chest high walls, or anything like that. If you were crouching to shoot, you were doing it in the open, so you better be good at it. It was risk/reward. And besides, you could still move really quickly into and out of crouch so it didn't slow down gameplay very much

I was eating my dinner as I was reading and I literally just stopped chewing as I read this and had food lingering in my mouth for a few seconds.
Like holy shit that's bad.

Played reach for the first time in like 6 months. Why are there still playlists that have bloom? I played one match of doubles and wanted to kill myself. Then I played MLG and memories of MLG halo 3 came flooding in. So good.

Hahahaha <3.
Cool story bro.
It's funny, because it's true. If I had a quarter for every time I've played with Juice's and his camo affect ME, I'd be rich.

Yea I still am not sure if that was intended to balance camo or a glitch. They never really said did they? I think along time ago it didn't mess up your teams radar.
It was a bug that was supposed to be fixed after the beta, not a balancing element (those tend to not be totally annoying to your entire team like scrambling everyone's radar is). It doesn't show up consistently, but it's enough for me to want that loadout removed from matchmaking.

All buzzed and full of dong fuel and nobody to team with. Sad Juices is sad.
Obvious errors in your game should be fixed, just saying.

No fucking way. That's a bug? It happens so often I thought it was intentional. Damn, that's terrible.
Agreed. The list of things in that category now is getting pretty long, though.
Yeah, I think they mentioned it being fixed on the post-Beta May podcast. It's pretty ridiculous that it's still in matchmaking. The Pit upper spawns all over again.

I got this
Imagine there's no campin
It's easy if you try
No jetpacks above us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no loadouts
it isn't hard to to
Nothing to choose or balance
And no AR starts too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
When vanilla Reach is gone
Imagine consolidation
I wonder if you can
No need for infection or grifball
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
When vanilla Reach is gone
Playlist cap and 343 still clinging on to "Vanilla Reach will remain available" with only two lists left..

Wow, Fyrewulff, rewriting history again? Conveniently ignoring Griffball and Action Sack? What's your hidden agenda this time?
