Better not be Halo 4.

Confirmed from David: Bullet Time in H4.

Spoiler

No, not really.

Why?

You get to skip it if you want to.

Right, after I thought about it for a little while I'm thinking to myself, this will absolve these moments (hopefully) of, "I was behind the wall how the fuck did he get me? or where was the guy pinging me to death?"

 

[blamite]

Yeah the metric system is so stupid for making so much sense

Okay the metric system is whatever but surely we can all agree that Celcius is the stupidest thing in the world.

 

[HigherLevel]

Exactly. Complaining about stuff you can skip or avoid doesn't make any sense.

 

[Tashi]

Why?

I wonder if we get to move the camera around our dead body. I would rather know where my enemy is going rather than where he was. We'll see how it is though.

 

[Reagan's BR]

I can't wait for Call of Duty in space to come out, be exactly like Halo 4, and eat up all of those sales MS thought they would get.

Hmmm water freezing at zero? It just feels too good to be stupid

I agree that you're wrong =P

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I wonder if the speed of the ordinance drop is dictated by what weapon you choose? Getting the rocket launcher in like, 2 seconds would be a ridiculously poor decision.

Kelvin 4 lyfe.

It can give the player who died intel which he not deserves in my opinion. If you die in Halo now you can only look around the place where you die or around your teammates. With killcams you can exactly see where your killer was and possibly his teammates from the killer's point of view. It's a small thing, but I'd rather not have killcams.

 

[feel]

Wasn't that a teammate cam on the vid?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

^nope, enemy, though its really hard to see what/when you see.

So you are saying that because of the name of a grunt, the weapon is real? Where is my Zealot Launcher, my Ultra Kicker or the bed crawler?

Nah, Im just taking guesses, no harm in it. I expect and assume nothing, but I work with what I have.

BBC UNSC Halo Report Fail.

XD

Oops. :lol

 

[TS x Massacre]

Yeah, I can't tell either way. Speculation runs rampant

But Celcius is based entirely on the boiling point of water. Fahrenheit is based on humans. Anything over, like, 60 in Celsius, you're dead. 85 in Fahrenheit is like 29.4 Celsius, and 95 is 35. There's a big difference between the two, but Celsius only gives you half as many whole numbers to use to articulate the difference.

I'm guessing the person who created that picture took something from a real leak to make it look legit. That's just my guess though.

I don't deal with humans. My only frendz is water so that's all I need

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

A teammate cam upon death would actually make more sense, wouldn't it? Since the whole idea behind "instant" respawns is strategically timing your revival.

Right, that's what I was thinking. Also it would be more traditionally Halo as in team games we could always switch through our teammates cam's (but in 3rd person)

 

[Tashi]

I'm still wondering if in the time between the instant you die and the time between you press the spawn button, the spawn location can change. Basically making it so that you can sorta choose where you spawn in a way. That would be pretty fucking awesome/crazy/wild/insane for competitive play.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

IF MLG doesn't run away from that change and go straight back to the standard Halo respawn timers

I'm sure it would change. If you die and sit there for like 10 seconds and an enemy has made his way over to your spawnpoint, it would be ridiculous to keep you spawning there.

hey at least we can build shit high and balance

Spoiler

The Rest of the World is giving me forge world vibes

 

[Mister Negative]

My hope is that you're still forced to respawn after a standard amount of time, you just have the option of going quicker.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

"Robin Scherbatsky, not only are you wrong, but you are belligerently sticking to your guns, insulting me in the process. Robin Scherbatsky, you are an American!"

 

[Hitmonchan107]

There's a meter on the left side of the screen that's filling up with each kill. The meter stays constant, even when he dies. When it fills up, the ordnance drop prompt comes up. So do these work like the Support Killstreaks from MW3?

 

[Ryaaan14]

Oh, right. That's probably the case. Otherwise would cause some issues.

There's not much more that will blow my mind other than an MP/Gameplay extravaganza

Kelvin fanboys look down upon both with a smug sense of superiority

Right, that makes sense.

Well that's pretty damn exciting if the spawn system is similar to that of each Halo. You could purposely split spawns. It would require massive knowledge of the the map, spawn system and also require masterful in game awareness.

Yep, the "skill" we lose in weapon placement/timing, we could now potentially gain in slayer games with this new complex system.

Hey, I welcome whatever it is, big or small.

For some reason that leaked video raised my hype tenfold..things are starting to get fun and feel like Halo 3. =)

 

[TS x Massacre]

Didn't Frankie say it's not as random as we think?

Yeah, but now there's tons of UI elements telling EVERYONE that the weapon is out there, so what I meant is people with the timing/placement knowledge no longer have the advantage over people who lack that knowledge.

So the spawn system becoming harder to master would definitely make up for this

 

[Rickenslacker]

Man, this place blew up over the last couple days.

Right but I'm worried about knowing when and where the weapon drops before it actually drops. That's the key. Edit: before the user is indicated by the HUD.

 

[Overdoziz]

You're gonna press X to respawn straight away and you know it.

 

[Tashi]

Tell you what, MM better be top notch because I'm not playing ranked games with scrubs who press X to spawn instantly and rack up 20 deaths. Fuck that.

MLG won't have instant respawns, I can tell you that already.

MLG won't have instant respawns, I can tell you that already.

I don't wanna just play MLG. I never do. I get forced into it

We can play social then :_D

I feel like I'm in a RoosterTeeth podcast here. Who cares if you have more numbers to articulate the difference? I know what 35 feels like, so what does the minutia of 95 or 96 matter?

 

[HigherLevel]

I have a feeling instant spawns in Slayer will get changed after launch if not before. That's one of the things I just don't think will work. Surely the non hardcore Halo fans can't wait 2 or 3 seconds to respawn.

just imagine lifts (like in construct or countdown).
a noob goes up lift and dies. instaspawn and goes up lift again. repeat cycle
overkill!!! on one person

 

[FyreWulff]

I want to play some Multi Team later tonight for more jackpot funtimes, but I just found Perfect Dark Zero and I feel an urge to play it for a bit.

 

[Tashi]

Exactly.

Wut

pdzhad terrible controls. gun felt sluggish has hell. was very disappointed in it

people still play PDZ?

Yes, actually! There's still like 30 something people on at any given time
