Halo |OT3| Remember Reach?

As long as they bring back the Mk V helmet (and something akin to the more faithful CEA version, not the horrible Reach one) I shall be happy (enough.)
So glad they eventually got it right when the game shipped.
Also, please make the armor perms actually look like armor perms instead of "add random metal to the base set" please.

Oh hey, what's this? Ah, nothing, except for the coolest Spartan.
Although the blue doesn't stand out very well in this pic.

How dare you ask something like that. Why do you hate Halo?

I assume that AR will be primary. Shotgun and Sword will surely be treated as power weapons (or "ordinance" as they are called now), not sure about how they will treat the Needler. Will there be that middle class of weapons like in previous Halo's, that spawn on the map, but aren't really power weapons (guns like the Needler), or will they just have starting weapons and "ordinance"?
Unarguably the best helmet.
True statement is true.

Ordnance arrives on the mecha platform during this video.
Definitely in the top 5. Great helmet.

Welp, I wanted Spartan Ops to be treated as a second campaign within Halo 4 and that's exactly what they're doing.
Success!

Yes, please.
Nothing new info wise, but this mode just sounds freaking awesome.
Wait, I noticed the indicator appeared, does it actually come down on screen?

I really hope that "Spartan Ops" is just a placeholder name. Surely they can think of something better!
And I also hope those hands-on impressions are in video form. ^_^

Hands on impressions this Friday.
Hell, fucking, yes.
Yeah, since everything else as been, I really hope this is the case.

What else would they name it? Spartan Duty? Spartan Warfare? Call of Spartan? There only so many names they could've used, Ops seems a decent enough pick of the bunch.

I think that's an older build. Frank said that the stuff on Conan last night was a newer build, and the UI was more in-line with what will be in the final game (grenades were on the left).
I didn't realize that Spartan Ops was going to be so narrative driven. That's pretty cool.

Insurrections would be awesome and it would tie in nicely with Glasslands.

Of all the possibilities, that is indeed the only logical conclusion. I commend you, ser.
On an unrelated note, by virtue of omission Frank and David have now confirmed:
- Everyone in BTB can run around with a plasma pistol and ruin vehicle play.
- You can choose to spawn with both an AR and a BR. Or with a BR and a Grenade Launcher.
- Shotgun and Sword are no longer power weapons and can be added to your custom loadout.
- The ability to crouch has been removed.
- The Chopper is back!
- All multiplayer Spartans are now voiced by Conan O'Brien.
Such fantastic news. Thanks for the confirmation, Gui!

Okay. Easy answer.
Yep. I'm pretty hyped. I do want to know if the Spartan Ops mission are on the MP maps or if 343i created exclusive areas. I hope both.

One of the Spartan Ops missions really needs to be John's first mission as a Spartan where they break into the rebel colony and kidnap that dude.

Well in the Spartan Ops video, the jetpack icon was in the top left.

I do not think that you are playing flashbacks in Spartan Ops. As a fiction fan, I do not really want to see scenes of the book in a videogame, they would destroy my vision/imagination of that specific scene. But I think I'm the only one.

wow. yes. never played halo wars. The top of the helmet looks kinda weird, but besides that, badass.

I would have said this... but if they have the luxury of using episodes, they could really establish what relationship they have in the Halo timeline. Start off as a flashback, work up to the time Halo 4 takes place in... then carry it beyond what we get in 4.
Unnecessarily big. Makes me think Kinect Menus
Although I doubt Spops will be so cinematic as to simulate scenes from the books, I'd commit deviant acts to get the prologue of FoR in game form. Thousand grunt massacre with a nuke finale, please.
