Aye, thanks.
That would make that default scheme pretty much perfect for my tastes.
Eligible, not sure if possible. Either way, would have been better off if Forge World had been included w/ Anniversary. I think High Noon is actually the better bet for remakes? NOKYARD will probably correct me on that.
They never give us that information, so you'll have to ask a 343 employee or wait for a Bulletin.
Also, the win incentive has given a bit of a boost to TO. I saw just a hair under 1000 players there an hour ago.

I wonder if it was licensing issues or MS being cheap. Actually got my parents to play the 360 (last console they played was Mario on NES). It was nice to sit down with the fam and spend time together.

I'm available for any Halo 4 event in the MD, DC, VA, PA, DE, and WV area.

Yeah we decided to cut Chateau to make room for another map that played similarly. I think that was the only one.
Edit: We also updated Synapse (completely new map now: Link to flythrough) and Select.
Select's changelog:
Load Out Cams added
Platform XXL's in corners flipped to give LoS to top mid
Kill zones fixed
Hole in wall fixed
Alt version includes a window (hole) at the base of each side of the bridge that opens up LoS from Flag spawn to Flag spawn.
HBO already got its turn to play.
HBOGo > Netflix

As long as I get to play at PAX, I'll be a happy guy. Even if it's only for a little bit...
Must be nice living in a country that let's you access that.

The Arsenal of Halo 4
RAILGUN
DESIGNATION: Asymmetric Recoilless Carbine-920
MANUFACTURER: Acheron Security
The ARC-920 Railgun is a compact-channel linear accelerator that fires a high-explosive round at incredible speed, delivering both kinetic and explosive force to both hard and soft targets alike.

I am willing to bet it will be at PAX since it doesnt launch much longer after that and its a pretty huge community event right next to where 343 is located.
do it.
Betting that this replaces the Spartan Laser.
When will Select be used for CTF?

So, pretty much like a mini Gauss cannon? Interesting.
Yeah he did that for customs. We haven't been assigned anything for TO yet. Got something cooking elsewhere though that may bring about some good objective maps.When will Select be used for CTF?

Except that it doesn't. Wu mentioned in his writeup that he saw a Spartan Laser in a weapon drop.

Stranger, Stranger! Now THAT's a weapon!
I'm going to take a guess and see it as the replacement for Concussion Rifle/Brute Shot role.
Only Chateau got removed? I thought the new maps are supposed to replace old ones. Team Slayer has a ridiculous amount of Forge map as it is, that will only become worse. This also means an increased chance of getting Forge maps in Super Slayer.
If only there was a Slayer playlist without community Forge maps.

Kinetic force? Sounds like the Concussion Rifle.
I think in the last Sparkast David mentioned a weapon that operates similarly to an existing Halo weapon, but feels more like a finisher now. Could this be it?
Edit: Damn you, spawn031.

I never posted on HBO until I had been posting here for a while. Why did you think I identify with HBO?
Didnt read any of the writeups so my bad.

A rail gun should be both longer range and deal more damage. As was said, it sounds more like a portable Gauss turret. Interested to hear how it's balanced.
Trying.
Need a jerb! (in Austin, that is)
Had a feeling that gun would be the Stanchion/Railgun.
That would be cool, although I loved the brute shot in Halo 3.

New take on a Focus Rifle?

Good riddance to the Concussion Rifle. I've never seen a more useless weapon in a Halo game, and that includes the H2 Needler. For clarification, I mean useless in multiplayer, because Reach's AI are somehow snipers with that godforsaken thing. bleh
No worries. They're worth your time, though.
Extremely long reload time, maybe?
I dunno, my bad.

And faster to heat up?
Useless? Hmm, not the word I'd use to describe it. It's very useful against certain vehicles and on Countdown that thing can destroy people. It's a really annoying weapon to fight against, though. It just throws your aim off and then there's that stupid filter on your screen caused by the explosions.
And perhaps no scope, which was one of the Spartan Laser's big flaws. Doesn't look like there is one on the rail gun, so its not going to be as accurate over super long range.

I have to agree with Over, Squid, I don't think the weapon was needed from a design point of view, but it was pretty powerfull, and amazingly annoying to go up against.

Acheron Security? No thanks.
I need a weapon I can trust, which is why I always check for the "Made by Misriah" sticker on the stock.
