My cat LITERALLY just shat itself because I laughed so hard at this gif. He jumped up and a tiny poop fell out of, or off of his cat-rocket-engine.

This is an actual event that just happened.

holy shit

Just these posts in succession with that gif...sogood.gif

I gotta get some sleep, but I'm feeling more excited about Halo 4 today then I was 24 hours ago.

I can see why Waypoint is so mad. They are really missing out.

 

[Redford]

Conan screaming made that exceptional demonstration of H4's speed all the more exceptional. Hype is restored, so excited!

 

[Homeboyd]

Holy hotshit DAMN at the size of that cat

also, plywood gettin mad love. Dude's famous n shit.

Just took photographic evidence before tossing the micropoop.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

You know, Forerunner architecture in recent games felt off or boring to me. That is not a problem in Halo 4 thus far. 343 has some fantastic artists.

Sewriously, Wraparound (I still say they should call it Icarus) really looks nice.

Just took photographic evidence before tossing the micropoop.

Oh god, the laughter hurts.

The Waypoint forums are gonna be pissed when they see that NeoGAF got an exclusive look at Frankie's cat's poo

, hardly. He could've just as easily linked my .gif without giving me any credit. He does me a kindness by giving recognition.

Nice, I didn't want to say pics or it didn't happen. lol

Frankie should have said it was a picture of his cat's poo, but in it's stead, posted a pic that said "Requires NeoGAF account to view".

 

[Tashi]

Hahahahah wtf is your cat a rabbit? Lol

Just watched the Conan segment on the 50 inch plasma.
Holy

That clip is insanely sexy. Wow. Smooth as hell.

The next logical step is obviously the triple stack. Are you up to the challenge HaloGAF?

Yeah I watched on my big screen in HD and wow. The clip looked amazing, I kept skipping back on my PVR lol.

 

[Garrett 2U]

So who is the narrator of the campaign introduction?
(The blacked out gameplay in the Conan skit)

BR shoots so much faster! This game gun be fun!

Spoiler

(pun intended)

 

[Barrow Roll]

Looks beautiful, but I'm not feeling the BR sound at all. Need vid clips with weapon sounds ala Halo Anniversary now.

 

[feel]

Full size

So that guy in the gif isn't even shooting back

I think I know whos benefit that short clip was for.

Regardless of that, action looks great, BR great, jump height great, strafe/speed great.

I was wondering the same. He narrates a lot of stuff on Waypoint.

Give him Recon.

His name is Randy and he works at Microsoft. He helps us out a bunch by offering his vocal styling on some of our videos.

MLG Quad Stack Teamshot

 

[GhaleonEB]

....and I'm finally done with work and can dive into the podcast. Whew!

Rough day at work but today's delights are a nice dessert.

Its the same progression in competitive and spartan ops. You can get all of your unlocks and 'levels' from spartan ops it sounds like.

Fantastic news.

So much to catch up on it's not even funny. Figures the deluge starts when I'm in hell week.

 

[Franklinator]

That reminds that I haven't listened to the podcast yet. Time to listen.

 

[Tashi]

Yeah I watched on my big screen in HD and wow. The clip looked amazing, I kept skipping back on my PVR lol.

Hahaha same. In slow motion too

 

[Garrett 2U]

The sparks/blood are a fantastic replacement for reticule hit marks!
(I mean that as a complete compliment btw; didn't mean to compare it to COD, I should have worded it differently)
Game looks so gorgeous, moar gameplays now!
It is so smooth! HOW U DO THAT ON XBOX 360?!?!

 

[MrGreencastle]

Damn, I didn't record it...

Someone upload dat shiet in HD!

MLG Quad Stack Teamshot

I've done it with my team. It's one of the funniest things we've done in Reach. People just walk around the map looking for you, turn the corner and just get melted. It's too much fun.

 

[Franklinator]

I've never tried quad-stack before, that sounds amazing. I've only done three-stack.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I like the sparks. There were a lot of sparks in CE, just unloading an AR on some enemies in campaign you'd have shots hitting the walls behind them as well sparking up the place. Loved that. They kind of neutered that in 2 onward.

 

[PNut]

new 'needs to be on every page'

Instantly reminded me of Narrows (i know it's not, that thing at top mid is weird looking) and BR'ing someone trying to push into blue base. Looks great. I'm hyped!

The BR sounded like the silenced SMG though.

 

[daedalius]

So after watching the new awesome gif a few times, a bunch of games of reach, and a bunch of games of h3.

Think I'm just gonna stick with non nuke nade, decent strafe and BR in h3 till b4 comes out.

If in H4... I will cry miserably.

love love love love the sparks

Nuke grenades are fine, they worked in CE. Only problem is that you don't give them the fuse of the grenades from 2/3 like Reach did if you want them to work.

 

[El_Chino]

I wonder if Frankie could tell us if we should expect any other celebrity voice overs.

 

[Tashi]

love love love love the sparks

Did you see the voting thread in community. You're winning pretty convincingly. Although some have left suggestions. Take a look, do what you like, it's up to you. The only thing I think that needs to be changed is to make it more squared as an album art. Agree?

Love the font btw, looks like Metal Gear Solid font.

Don't forget the awful strafe and jump height coupled with nuke radius

 

[Garrett 2U]

I don't think RvB characters would be a stretch, seeing how Rooster Teeth was just at 343i around the time that they are doing the Voice Overs!

 

[indubitably]

I think 343i is changing the way slayer works. Instead of going from 1-50/1-100 with 1 point per kill, the games now go to a lot higher numbers (The 500 in the bottom right is the points needed to win, the bars to the right of the 500 are slowly going up towards it). Basically you get 5 points per kill(random number, no idea in actuality) but if you get a double kill you'll get like 15 or something.

No I think they are just adding a zero to the end of everything, kind of like what COD did twice. (10 points/kill, slayer match to 500 points) This will sound kind of silly, but this was one of the changes I am dreading the most. Everything becomes about points, match points, spartan points, experience points.

I think that would be way better. More functional as a logo then.
