Isn't that still the case in phase 3?

I didn't think it was, in the final version. But it's been a few months since I played Invasion so perhaps my memory is rusty.

 

[The Librarian]

I've seen several posts on here (ViewtifulJC, Gabo) saying that the DMR having a 3x scope was already confirmed (in JC's case, Frankie said it). Where do you guys remember seeing that? I don't remember seeing any confirmation one way or the other.

I shouldn't have paid any attention to what superMTW said. People were linking his twitter and (it seemed to me) taking him seriously, so I thought it was okay to post information from him. :/

 

[Steelyuhas]

I want an AA that makes all shotguns/swords on the map explode when picked up.

BALANCE

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Yes, phase 3 still has grenade launcher.

 

[Overdoziz]

Isn't that still the case in phase 3?

In phase 3 you can spawn with the Concussion Rifle, Grenade Launcher, Sword or Shotgun.

 

[Gabotron ES]

We had the grenade launcher on spawn in Invasion during the Reach beta.

I remember the first time round 3 started on Boneyard. Yay, vehicles! *EMP blasts go off everywhere*

It's still in.

 

[GhaleonEB]

It's still in.

Wow. And here I was thinking that was one of the things they fixed from the beta. :lol

 

[Garrett 2U]

Oh come on, spawning with Shotgun? Please don't be true.
Combine that with kill streaks and you are bringing corner camping to Halo! Hooray!

And oh my goodness, I thought personal ordinance had a 10 second drop that alerted everyone?

 

[Conor 419]

We will remember the good times...

Your questions will be answered soon enough, just hang on a little bit more.

I only saw a specific weapon assassination for the sword, which is not new, those are already in Reach.

What's the hardlight shield?

 

[senador]

I don't see the problem with 3x DMR. Could make it not have "see it, shoot it" range. Bullet dies off at far range. If reticule doesn't turn red, can't hit them.

 

[Karl2177]

Then how are you going to counter the extreme range of a sniper without a sniper?

 

[Conor 419]

People are saying it's a two shot kill, is it now a sniper of sorts?

 

[Slightly Live]

What's the hardlight shield?

Might be a new Armour Ability.

 

[Overdoziz]

No-scope him with your Railgun.

 

[Steelyuhas]

That is certainly not true.

 

[senador]

You don't? It's a sniper. Get closer and stuff. Would have same problem with 2x or spread. It'd be like Halo 3.

That is certainly not true.

This plus him saying he doesn't really like Halo "but this is good" then comparing it to passed Halos leads me to believe he is full of shit, at least on finer details.

 

[Conor 419]

Right, okay.

Shield thing looks pretty cool, I'm happy with that.

Edit - Still worried the DMR will be too long range, I don't want BTB ruined again by it's ridiculous range. Haemorrhage in Reach was atrocious for that very reason.

 

[Poker Face]

Might be a new Armour Ability.

The guy that recorded the video said it was, not sure on legitimacy obviously.

 

[TS x Massacre]

The more I see, the angrier I get.

This has been H4's PR cycle so far for me.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Making the Sniper hard to use would go a long way in countering the thing.

 

[TCKaos]

This should be Halo 4's tag line.

 

[TS x Massacre]

This should be Halo 4's tag line.

Indeed. Ship it.

 

[Garrett 2U]

My secret is I'm always angry.

those are all really old.

Kronos is an awesome name.

Dat artwork. Looks so good.

Edit: They're old? I've never seen 'em before.

Why did you include Halo Wars concept art here?

 

[Computron]

They are? I never beat Halo Wars and someone was passing these off as Halo 4.

 

[Overdoziz]

Let's not forget the Halo 3 and ODST concept art.

Are we suppose to be taking this guy seriously or not? Or are you just rounding up everything he's said? Did you see that in the video? He said the DMR was a 2sk, why should we believe him on anything else?

 

[Homeboyd]

mmmm, sparrow.

Where are these from?

Edit nvm

 

[TCKaos]

Hey guys:

mmmm, sparrow.

Yeah, all of that is fake. All of those vehicles hail from Halo Wars, and that's even the exact same concept art for all of them. I'm willing to bet that the "Canary" concept art is identical to the concept art for Highgrounds, but alas I don't have the art book to prove it.

 

[feel]

Can I PLEASE unlock a perk where I have slightly faster base speed but can not sprint?? I absolutely hate the sprint gameplay, so janky, tiring and constricting.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Let's not forget the Halo 3 and ODST concept art.

The only thing I do not know is the Kronos stuff. Which game? Halo 3 or Halo Wars?

 

[Steelyuhas]

Right, okay.

Edit - Still worried the DMR will be too long range, I don't want BTB ruined again by it's ridiculous range. Haemorrhage in Reach was atrocious for that very reason.

Part of it is taking your game mechanics more into account for map design. Obviously the range of the DMR and the absurd openness of Hemorrhage are a terrible combination. For whatever reason, Bungie didn't seem to take into account their new mechanics of Reach into map design much.

 

[Woorloog]

The only thing I do not know is the Kronos stuff. Which game? Halo 3 or Halo Wars?

Not Halo, IMO. Might be Highlands but somehow it doesn't look Halo to me.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I wonder if custom options let us swap out what ability we have as base trait, instead of sprint.

 

[MrBig]

Yeah someone just put 343 logos on some other art. Fake.

 

[Woorloog]

I wonder if custom options let us swap out what ability we have as base trait, instead of sprint.

Like having both, for example, JetPack and armor ability of choice?
Would be interesting.

 

[Ken]

Good thing he didn't make a new thread about it.

"Halo 4 leaked concept arts part 2 of fake watermarks"

 

[Steelyuhas]

I wonder if custom options let us swap out what ability we have as base trait, instead of sprint.

That would be a cool option for creating different custom gametypes.

It's a round-up of everything he said, since he is the apparent source of the leak. It's up to yourself if you want to believe. Even if it's true, some of that information has to be outdated due to being from an old build.

Not long until we see for ourselves.

 

[TheOddOne]

Sparrow still looks awesome.

 

[Karl2177]

You don't? It's a sniper. Get closer and stuff. Would have same problem with 2x or spread. It'd be like Halo 3.

I think you misunderstood me. With Halo 3 the BR's first bullet was always on the money. It allowed you to ping the sniper, dropping his scope without necessarily killing him(allowing you to get closer). If you simply have bullets drop when the reticle isn't red, then the sniper is still scoped and can still kill you with relative ease.

Making the Sniper hard to use would go a long way in countering the thing.

Bring it back to Halo 3 levels of use. You would either be good with the sniper or you picked it up so someone who was good could/n't get it.

Well that was exciting for about a whole 30 seconds

Ah okay. Dani, when I get off work next Monday the first place I'm going is FUD, so you better have an up-to-date list.
