So nobody saw this pic of Frankie talking to Claude.

Yeah, I was thinking of some sort of machine-like sound that is produced throughout the sprint. It would be easy to explain as some effect of the SIV's armor enhancement.

No, but he blatantly stuck out in this picture:

Just demoed MP to MLG guys at their surprisingly swanky office building on Park Avenue.
They are totes not mad at it. Including not being mad at DMR "bloom." Quotes around bloom because it's not the same effect as Reach.
Sprinting/breathing is an audio device to remind players they used up sprint, as well as immerse players in action. You can also hear subtle creaking of "leather" padding inside helmet. This is not a constant sound btw, but rather a contextual one.

All I am seeing is a well dressed man playing xbox. #swag
Ohh, you mean those two guys behind him? Might be waiters.

This just made me rage.

RG3 and Shea (HUGE Halo nut) and Matt Kalil actually everyone we met from the draft were awesome people, really nice. Me and RG3 are really good friends now. He is not aware of this friendship.
I'd be more excited to meet Louis Wu than RGIII and I'm a football fan..
Looks like the MLG Halo news isn't good. If the news is true, this will be the first time since 2004 and 59 events that Halo wasn't on the circuit. Crazy stuff, wish they would just give us a clear answer or at least do us a minor favor and send a request to 343i to correct the MLG playlist so teams get matched up, this isn't 343i doing but MLG.
edit: I swear everytime I post Frankie above me.

Bit of a sad (arguably hopeful) situation to be demoing to MLG just as it seems like Halo will miss its first event in 8 years.
Moby?
It's not like they're gonna say something negative to you in person right after having the privilege to play the game 6 months in advance.
Can you just explain the new reticule bloom?

We know that sprint is on the left stick click and crouch is B.
Considering the playlist is still in Halo 3, and obviously it's been off the circuit for two years, I would assume it's safe, but there probably won't be any more updates for it.
plz
As hyperbolic as the MLG guys are, hopefully they will post some of their impressions from your demo.
Also, the audio cues seem like more fun to discuss than non-existent bloom. The THC thread with KillaKCs thoughts is literally talking about bloom in every post /snore.

Yes, but that goofy pointless bit with scanning figures in sold me =P
That actually would be a really awesome effect to have happen when idling.
I take it that it will be like Reach expect Sprint is LS and Crouch is B. I would guess AA is LB, and change grenade will be on the D-Pad
Glad to hear bloom is not the bloom we know, and honestly knowing that not all weapons have it works for me. Also, the stuff you describe with the sound effects sounds immensely awesome, I cannot wait to see thing game.
PS. If I create a swanky office can you demo Halo 4 for me?

This is exactly what I was hoping for, but we havent seen everything they're including, so as david just said above, it's probably this as the D-Pad will be used for some other feature.

Lmao, so true. Not even 343 give a fuck about Waypoint forums.
BTW, I hate that I can't change me email to my gmail account despite being registered for years now. I registered with college email (UK college; not University), no longer at college and don't have the old email anymore.

I have a weird complex where I like to play default controls. Seems like a lot of people like bumper jumper. Should I try to change?
Cool, overall it sounds like the controls will be really nice then. Out of curiosity, how is crouch jumping with crouch on B? Thats the only thing that has me a little wary, although I suppose people will be able to adjust to it.

Oh yea! I feel better now lol
Frank while you're in the area you should stop by my place and give a live demo lol.

Sounds good.
I love Reach's default, and I thought this was a good way to adapt it for 4.
Crouch on B will take some getting used to though.
I need to be a moderator on that Forum ASAP
Edit: Yeah crouch and prone on B will take some getting used to

I had a feeling d-pad would be used to changing grenades, good choice, it was such a waste of a face button.

BJ would've been fine in Reach had they allowed you to use jetpack with jump as well, though it became a matter of wanting to prioritize the AA or jumping. If they made it so that tapping jump in the air activated jetpack when you had it equipped, it would've been great.
The nextbox will have accelerometers in the controller, so they'll be able to move crouching to moving your controller up and down. Immersive teabagging

Anyone want to try to make Bumper Jumper work with that we know now.

Melee on the right bumper is the shit though!
They will have tons of control schemes from what's been said. Hoping for something close to BJ.

Thats the only thing that bugs me about console games. You cant really set the controls up the way you want to exactly. You have to hope they have one scheme in there for you already. I hate going from one game to another which are both similar playing shooters, but for some reason have a completely different control scheme.
lybertyboy
Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
First off, we're including a bunch of control options so players can pick the one that best suits their playstyle. For me, I haven't needed to crouch jump very much on our levels so I don't find myself doing it often. You can definitely still crouch jump with B, you'd just need to be a little more careful about aiming your direction before you jump.

Yehhhh.
Brink has fully customizable buttons.
And then they forgot to put in more than one stick scheme.
Sigh.

Jetpack whilst prone, I can dream.

This. My main concerns with the new control options:
- Sprint on LS and Crouch on B isn't going to feel like Halo (at first).
- Does this mean maps won't be designed with crouch-jumping in mind?
- I hope jetpack can be activated with the jump button, because I want to map jumping to LB, not AAs. Even if (god forbid) it behaves just like it does in Reach, that setup should work fine.

Ahhhh Brink, those making of videos were so awesome and yet...
