It's not about nerfing them so they aren't fun to use, it's about making AA's an augmentation to your movement and combat abilities instead of dominating the game like in Reach. Faster movement, better jumping, and faster kill times with weapons will help that without even changing the AA's. Then you adjust/nerf the AA's and in theory, you should have AA's compliment the game in a nice way instead of dominate the game.
As for Halo as an M game, it seems to be that all FPS games get M ratings regardless of how intense or gory the violence is.
D) None of the above
See we get points for almost every thing now so it wont behave exactly like kill streaks and option B assures that the AAs will not be used constantly like in Reach. Though C is also another good option.

wow, get some perspective man.
Do you not buy electronics because of terrible working conditions in China?
Do you not watch TV shows on channels owned by evil megacorporations?
Do you not eat food where the meat has come from farms with horrific conditions from animals?
Yet you're gonna sit on your high horse about a guy telling someone else to "eat a dick" on Twitter....Really? REALLY? That's where you gonna draw a line about defining your consumer habits?

This is what I'm thinking, more of a booster pack than anything. *fingers crossed*
I hope if's something more along the lines of a finite supply you have to recharge either by using your own shields (leaving you temporarily vulnerable), a charging station similar to the supply crates in Firefight, or maybe even a resupply from a felled enemy the same way you add to your ammo.
Or, make them pickups and something to be contested.
Are you fucking for real right now? I do not support the working conditions of China workers either and I said I will probably buy Fez when it goes on sale. As of now though I do not want to buy it at full price because I do not support the guy, not going the never buy it though because the game does look like a lot of fun.
Keep on posting the music at least, its amazing.

My point is that OF COURSE you don't support bad working conditions in China. Who does? But you still go out and buy a 360, or a smartphone, or a TV...don't you?
And just the same, the guy is a douche, but he's not the only one who made the game. And its just a...cheap and tacky thing to get all worked up and say that you're only gonna buy the game when its goes on sale. It's freaking $10 man, support the OTHER 4 guys who worked on the game.

Guys, please stop talking about fixing AAs etc if Steelyuhas posted already the perfect solution.
He just need to add that maps need to be created with the AAs in mind.

Shit yeah! And I'll add a bunch of candies as seduction. How could they say no to the offer I'll embezzle to them?

Ehh, I see what you're saying. There's far more important reasons not to support certain products/businesses. But someone being a jerk is a decent enough reason for me. I don't know anything about what this Fez guy has said, so I can't comment on that case specifically.
Capitalism demands that we support exploitation. The entire economy is built upon the exploitation of some and the profit of others. It's true that we're supporting that system by buying into it, but it doesn't mean that we support it politically or ethically. This is far more complicated than you're making it out to be, and if someone wants to exercise agency and not buy one product from one particular jerk, what's the issue?
Edit : Yeah, I agree with Monkey -- this should continue over PM if at all. I'm sick of political conversations on GAF.
Pick-ups with very limited number of uses. But since we know people will spawn with them, I want people to have to pick up energy for them around the map at least. I want the game to be about the shooting with the occasional powerup thrown in to mix things up, like Halo 3, not the Armor Ability bonanza that was default Reach every second of every match, that stuff gets old fast.
Sent a PM so HaloGAF isnt full of pointless arguments.
Use them for you're indie game "Zalo".So Steitzer. That's great. But what should I do with my recorded samples?

Played it at PAX. The multiplayer was hilarious fun.

Just brainstorming, but what if these new changes are limited to a specific playlists/gametypes?
Team Slayer
- NO Drop-in/Drop-out.
- Power weapons spawn as in previous games.
- No loadouts - everyone spawns with a BR and sprint.
- Score based on kills only. (+10/Kill)
- Bigger credit reward at the end for game completion and victory.
Mercenary Slayer
- Drop-in/Drop-out
- Loadouts - choose AR/BR/DMR, grenade type, etc.
- Power weapons spawn at specific locations, but the type of weapon and spawn time are random. Waypoints indicate the next one to spawn.
- Score based on kills, medals, objectives, etc. (+10/Kill, +5/Assist, +5/FlagReturn)
So Team Slayer is for competitive players and teams of three or four. Mercenary Slayer is for casuals and randoms. One playlist keeps the classic Halo match setup while the other emulates the CoD match style - but aside from loadouts and weapon spawns the gameplay mechanics between the two are exactly the same (i.e. no difference in run speed, health, etc.).
See that is a nice mix between Reach and Halo 3. You get to choose your ability like Reach but have to find power supplies around the map to use it and if you die without using it you drop the power supply.
They could whatever they want with Halo as long as they put it on the map and let people spawn on equal footing.See thats not going to happen though

Good thinking, but I don't want them to fragment loadouts, I want those static throughout all gametypes.
Lord no.
Being able to pick your load out can mean never starting with an AR again. I approve.
Letters idea would make everyone spawn on equal footing.
Except for the kids who spawn with the AR that is lol
Garrett 2U
Member
Right, because spawning with ARs is better than being able to choose to spawn with AR/BR/DMR if they are all balanced off each other.
We already know it is part of the loadouts.
I hope there is energy on map you need to pick up

AAs pick-ups, progression system to be able to use them.

I don't think I'm really minding AA's being used much, as long as they are going to balanced and can't be spammed. I'm really do have hope that AA's will be more balanced in Halo 4.

This twitter account is following me. @boycottHalo4
Seriously? Why does everything remind of the Uncharted 3 Review thing?
Edit.: GameInformer is following the account. Halo 4 is dead, they play it and they want to boycott it. OMG.

Duncan even posted "BR with sprint standard". Keep it at that and I'm fine. We just know the DMR is included, and as far as I know it's not confirmed to be a loadout weapon.

Look at it this way: the average person knows about tons of bad shit happening all over the world at this very moment and they don't like it, but what's going to piss them off and send them over the edge is the dude that doesn't hold the elevator for them.
I understand if people don't want to buy the game because they don't want to give money to a dickbag. Blame them for not supporting the other people if you want to but also blame the dickbag for his bad PR.
I won't be buying Fez but only because I don't like games that have colors other than gray in them.
The worst thing this generation has brought us: overreacting gamers.

Not confirmed, but there is little doubt that it will be.
I don't know who you are, but I like the cut of your jib.
I can not wait for Trials EVO, the editor in that is insane.
Bregmann Roche
Member
I will. Is there any doubt that it will be one of the most popular XBLA games ever?
I will also NOT 100% it I can guarantee you that.
Speaking of Trials have you guys seen the new Editor trailer?
