Agree. And to add to that, what I'd always wanted in Reach was a game type that linked to the daily or weekly challenges and have that float up as the first voting option. So mission specific challenges or ones requiring certain skull combinations would appear on a given day as defined by the challenge.

Yeah it really would be a lot of fun. Even in an action sack type of game. Have the skull act like a bomb where a player on one team picks it up and while he holds it, the effect starts working for their team (or against the other team, depending on the skull) for as long as he holds it until the timer explodes. So your team would have to sacrifice a player using a weapon to be able to use it, but you could give your team a brief boost in health, remove the enemy's HUD (minus the crosshair), etc...
Would definitely be fun in customs.
No need to force this idea, nature always finds a way.
Some might work and some would be pretty bad. Like imagine if you had to hear grunt birthday party go off every time someone died. That would probably get real annoying.

How about a 3 killstreak will give you the ability to dual wield rockets while sprinting.

After declining player base since 07 and the fact the pro gaming community had neglected it Halo 4 multiplayer has been cut.
In other news. E3 falls during the Royal Jubilee which means 4 day bank holiday.
God bless the queen
man, AA's probably would work if the recharge times were 2x or even 3x (except armor lock - that was just dumb).

Do you think we would reach OT4 in a day if killstreaks were announced?
Yes, but not over Xbox Live.

If I hear "keep CoD out of my Halo" one more time I may freak out.
Give us some news so we can, at the very least, show that adding a few features CoD made popular will work in the Halo universe and make Halo a 2012 shooter, not turn the game disc into CoD when you put it in.
To be clear about the competitive community we are excited for Halo 4, but worried about the game for casual players. We want the game to be popular, Halo can't afford another Halo Reach (sold well, but gameplay issues,XBL chart rank) We have always altered the game to our liking and this game sounds like it will be amazing for us. When people from the competitive community criticize it they usually don't look at it from the whole prospective sometimes and can talk our of their ass. We just really need to play it before, but as anything people will criticize and run for the hills before playing it.
Social Skrimish Plug: That's something u4iX and I have talked about a lot. We are working on trying to get a show going to show a overall prospective from casual to competitive play.
Maybe that's why they removed the cod piece from MC in the original Halo 4 teaser.

Oh I'm sorry. But if I read the words "will not" + "definitely", it sounds like a confirmation.
Are you looking to play casual or competitively though?
I'm rather compasual myself.
I am looking to play Halo.
It all makes sense now.

I always hate this because I feel that the majority of players are somewhere in the middle.
Sit down so someone else can ask.

I love this image, but the second he goes from running/shooting to dead looks off. His head goes from forward to looking down instantly. /nitpick.
AR will not only not have recoil the longer you hold down the trigger the straighter the burst fire becomes.
WAY the hell late, but that was just pulled off of B.net (my stats page). I figure the games I played between 9/14/10 and 3/31/12 on Sword Base (308 games) FAR outnumber the games I played between 4/1/12 and 4/16/12 (6 games), so the stats are still pretty accurate.

Will also have a grenade launcher attachment.
This so much.
Also, maby just me, but the weapon totally just disappears?
Your jokes make me weep.
I will say probably the brightest point of Reach is NB DMR. Hitscan, long range, accurate, shoots fast as hell. It's a joy to wape with. Recoil seems unnecessary, but then again it wouldn't be Call of Duty without it so,
Oh you'd just shit on it anyway!

Yeah, that too. It's like it's missing a transition. Old footage and all though.

Fixed.
Not if they show me something worth not shitting on.
Probably haven't gotten the super sweet animation transitions down in that build, especially since Ellis has trolled us with 'wow I can't believe how old that build looks' a few times.
I think the weapon always disappears out of your hands when you die in Reach, since you're dropping it onto the ground. They probably don't want to make weapon specific death animations; altho could probably do a rifle specific few.
