I just really *really* hope the HUD isn't cluttered; making clean icons and waypoints is a far better solution than lots of text, especially if you've got to keep track of things like weapons drops and such.

Efficent and clean HUDs are so 2007.

HEADSHOT!

KILLING SPREE

 

[Karl2177]

Im still upset that the Spartan Laser is returning for sure. Ah well.

Man I want to see this in action asap.

Laser is returning, but will it be a default for maps? Oh wait, the map default is whatever dpad button you want it to be...

*rolls eyes*

 

[feel]

What I dislike about Killcams is that they expose all the latency BS and make me rage harder after deaths.

oh god

 

[Arnie]

Just noticed that our avatars match quite nicely.

Yep, we both have our national emblems.

I can never stand them because I know they're basically networking lies.

 

[heckfu]

This gif reminds me of ryaaan. Btw ryan, where did you watch those episodes of the new season? I think it's time for me to resume.

 

[Im_So_Pringles]

Counting down the days until E3. Halo 4 multiplayer's downfall/redemption. Hopefully the second option

 

[StalkerUKCG]

[bobs...onGaf]

I hope that kill cams have a hard limit on them. 10 seconds is the longest they should last for. Will be all too easy too exploit if they go on longer than that. Teams could just refuse to spawn in if its a tight game.

The Reach spawn timer annoyed me at times, because I sometimes didnt change loadout in time, but ultimately it was better for gameplay that they did that. I just hope players cant spend an age in the customization menu/ deathcam screen instead of respawning.

Seems pretty straightforward, but games like Battlefield have gone the other way and its slightly nonsensical that they did.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Oh, another interesting thing:

Pic of the Missile Pistol

So does that make this the Target Locator?

Edit:

NVM, both are the same gun for sure...so whats up with the screen on the gun in the second pic?

Agreed. Battlefield can kinda pull it of because the scale is much larger than Halo's and you can't play with a whole team of friends as far as I know (I only played on 360). In Halo, there is a lot more combat in general and people staying to long in the respawn screen would destroy the combat's flow.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Halo 4 to feature killcams.

Halo 5 to feature the option to toggle them on/off.

Evolution!

Weapon attachment or reusing the same pistol model for both weapons?

I believe that someone (I think it might have been Ellis) confirmed that there is a point where it will just spawn you.

Heartbeat sensor bro

I seriously thought Over would have said this first. Ha.

 

[Shadders]

NVM, both are the same gun for sure...so whats up with the screen on the gun in the second pic?

I think it'll work like the screen on the pro-pipe, but much more prominent. Basically allowing it to work like a proximity mine.

 

[Recarpo]

I've been really busy the past week so sorry if this has been asked/answered a few times. Do we know when halo 4 will be shown at e3? Is it just during the microsoft conference or is there another time we know of?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Heartbeat sensor bro

lol..

Weapon attachment or reusing the same pistol model for both weapons?

I almost thought it may have been the same weapon but the screen hadn't popped out yet, but the more I look the more it seems the screen is absent in the one shot. Odd.

I can't imagine that there is also weapon customization, but if there is that would confirm missile pistol as a secondary weapon and not a power weapon.. I dunno. I think you might be right with different guns re-using assets in beta form.

That makes sense, but why is it absent from one picture and not the other?

Campaign at MS Media Briefing, Spartan Ops unveil after the Sony Conference at Spike.

 

[HigherLevel]

I love colorful the game looks. One of my biggest issues with Reach was how dull it was compared to Halo 3. This looks much more like Halo 3 in that regard. I just hope they don't have any ugly text in the middle of the screen covering up those sick designs.

 

[Recarpo]

Awesome, thanks hyper.

And multiplayer in a barn across the street.

After waiting 3 seconds at "Spawning in 0.."

lol

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I laughed pretty hard. Well done.

 

[Gabotron ES]

After waiting 3 seconds at "Spawning in 0.."

Yeah that's pretty annoying.

 

[Domino Theory]

Those screens look sexy, but makes me yern for direct-feed, HD screens even more. Bring on next week!

 

[FyreWulff]

Yeah that's pretty annoying.

I imagine there's good reasons for why it happens in competitive multiplayer but I just couldn't pass that up

 

[CyReN]

Yay it's finally up. Got back from Best buy, you can buy it for $15 or pre-order for $5..

 

[Stinkles]

Five sleeps.

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Heartbeat sensor bro

Don't you mean spartan sensor or forerunner/ prometheon cardio hearing? Can't call it heartbeat sensor got to stick with the silly naming conventions

Im more convinced that the top picture is the pistol attachment we saw in the first video. Rather than the target locator like the pic below

I got a feeling that's there to make tracking headshots easier for test and Q/A.

 

[kylej]

Five sleeps.

I'm excited for the Guardian reveal.

 

[CyReN]

Five sleeps.

 

[Arnie]

I'm excited for the Guardian reveal.

With classic BR skin, and an actual ranking system.

Either that or we'll get to see some Spartan Laser action on a BTB map.

 

[Franklinator]

Five sleeps.

Even though I've been skeptical of the rumoured and announced changes to Halo, this is the most hyped I've ever been for
E3. Can't wait!

 

[Tunavi]

Yay it's finally up. Got back from Best buy, you can buy it for $15 or pre-order for $5..

did you cancel and get the 5 back?

 

[789shadow]

Those pics seem fake, or at least not from the final game, since the pistol is exactly the same as in Reach, and the AR is the CEA AR.

 

[neoism]

do what I do and only go back one page. sure you'll miss a lot but who cares its mostly bitching at things we dont know about yet anyways

yeah I used to always read most every page... hate not knowing the latest info.. but 1 page max now..

 

[Stinkles]

I'm excited for the Guardian reveal.

 

[CyReN]

did you cancel and get the 5 back?

No, may just give it to a friend to save $5.

Checked Best Buy. No lithographs.

May be sprouting up in the next few days, they put ours up today.

 

[kylej]

I'm excited for The Pit reveal.

 

[Overdoziz]

They're real.

We all know it's Chiron TL-34

More like Chiron TL-AWESOME

Biggy's amazing gif.

 

[Im_So_Pringles]

well shit

 

[CyReN]

They're real.

Thoughts on the Spartan IV footwear?
