The scene Claude described. Our first person view up until now has been a 'traditional' one. When we would barrel roll, our 'eyes' didn't go all screwy. Now during this one scene the camera becomes our true eyes, you see your hands grasping at things, you look down at the floor as you prop yourself back up. That's what lent itself to what I'm calling the Doom3 moment when the Elite just scares the shit out of you if you weren't expecting it. And the light effects, shadows, etc.

Other points are the HUD. And I don't mean a direct link to COD... just what other modern shooters are doing - cramming alot of info, very HD, very "realistic" and an evolution from what we've had before.

Sure, tells us a bit about what you remember of the multiplayer gunplay, when you get the time.

thanks for the clarification. i thought you meant level design. i don't mind if the game takes control of the camera once in a while.

I know It's been said there are going to be tons of control schemes possible in Halo 4, but so far everyone has said they've used one with sprint on LS. just let me know if this setup will be available:

LT: grenade
RT: shoot
LB: jump
RB: melee
LS: move/crouch
RS: look/zoom
A: Sprint
B: reload
X: AA
Y: Switch weapons
D-pad: switch nades

temporary change. Cortana is best part of the Halo canon so I will wear this image with pride. Also I want Frankie to take note and give Cortana a better ass in H4 than the preview images we saw.

if you're going into team games alone in reach, you're going to have a bad time.

One of the major reasons I don't play matchmaking any more. Anyone on my FL that still plays Reach is far superior to me in skill, so I'd only bring them down and ruin their good time. Plus it seems that most people actually get off on voting for the worst map possible, so there hasn't been a whole lot to suck me back into it.

There will be a lot of armor perms for you to pick from and customize.

I had assumed, I was more joking that we'd get chestplates with EOD, Mark VI, etc. helmet lookalikes plated onto the center of the torso though. Hell, give us helmets on all of our armor pieces if possible.

That's good to hear though. Any chance you're allowed to at least hint as to whether or not we'll have more/less/modified armor "categories" in 4 compared to Reach? I feel like the lower half of the body was sort of overlooked. Different boots, etc. could be cool.

or codpieces

They can't use Arena Zealot in Objective because the bomb, flag, whatever resets when it hits soft kill zones.

Too bad they didn't realize that back during Team Classic when the Beaver Creek remake had a kill zone over the teleporter when Assault was in the playlist.

Contrary to popular belief, there is a New York outside the city. And Tashi and Juices would have never been able to make it to the city with 4 hours notice.
But I could now

But then again, its Halo 4.

I figured out a couple of things about the way I play because of this. Both improvements. But you can still crouch on LS at this time.
Click to expand...

You saying there are other schemes with crouch on LS or you can currently crouch on LS with sprint also being on LS?

Played Firefight today, of course DLC comes up every time I play, but in my thousands of competitive multi games DLC has come up a handful of times.

Also One Flag, and all one sided round based objective, please be two rounds and unlimited scoring in H4.

But as I told Claude, by the time I was 3 games in I was comfortable. The game was Halo and no matter all the enhancements, changes, etc., it had a familiar feel to it. But here's the thing, all of you are going to have the same initial reaction. It's just *different*.

I don't really understand the problem. People bring into space, it resets. They learn not to bring it into space.

Or just use the MLG version

I wonder how customizable Spartan Ops will be compared to Reach's FF. If it is intended to draw that crowd, I would imagine they would have options to customize the missions to some degree. If each mission is comparable to campaign missions (or portions of one) and they are somewhat linear, not sure how far those options would be able to go.

Need more infoz.

Since we theoretically have one Halloween left before Reach loses the keys to it's matchmaking, it'd be nice if they actually did a Halloween LD playlist with 100% community variants and temporarily unlocked skullface + pestilence for everyone just on that day.

Okay, not so much the armory unlocks but it'd be nice to see a holiday playlist again

Also, still looking for Anniversary variants.

Fyrewulff, do you by any chance know what Forge maps have been removed and replaced by the new ones? I saw that Enclosed is still there which is pretty disappointing to say the least.

Anything for any of the Anniversary disc playlists

Anniversary Classic

not sure if they're interested in Anniversary Firefight variants.

What if someone made Warlock on Ridgeline? Would that be eligible? Is it even possible?

Some of those new forge variants are surprisingly good.

I hope so. Just make it context sensitive so you can't crouch while moving, unless you're jumping. If you're already moving, make LS sprint.

Code it.
