Heh

hoping its a mix of Reach and Halo 2. Please some kind of visual rank.



please.

 

[RebornYeti]

Have I ever told you that I love you?

I was just going to ask for a gif of this. So funny and awesome.

 

[Ken]

Oh good, looks like credits will be based on game completion, winning, score, and objectives. Hopefully this promotes people to actually go for objectives.

 

[wwm0nkey]

A victory bonus? GOOD, now I have a reason to want to win.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Heh

 

[everyday math]

Awesome Warthog in front the Halo 4 booth.

 

[Holiday]

LOL. The one clip of a DMR firing more than two shots is given with no HUD. I wonder why?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Those menus are beautiful.

 

[Risen]

I'm digging a lot of the sounds... the AR sounds good in and of itself... but it seems like that's the sound of a belt fed or heavy machine gun, not an assault rifle. I'm a nerd - but I shoot a lot in real life... makes it feel wonky to me.

Heavy machine guns chug... assault rifles crack.

 

[Mister Negative]

I really can't imagine there being a control scheme that I like. I mean, crouch jumping is pretty important...

 

[Gabotron ES]

Still hate the text in the middle, but I'll deal I guess.

You can always beg for them to change it, remember how "they're 343 and are all for the fans" but I guess it's good enough[/b]

KILLJOY -100 SP

Anyway, the game looks and sounds fantastic, playing the vids with my headphones feels SO GOOD!

 

[Rickenslacker]

I really can't imagine there being a control scheme that I like. I mean, crouch jumping is pretty important...

Reach's Bumper Jumper controls were fine, all they needed to do was give Jetpack a specialty case where you could activate it through jumping. I think 4 can work under the same premise.

Edit: Oh wait I forgot, sprint is a regular ability now. Yeah, I dunno how you'd jam this all in comfortably.

 

[Ramirez]

Are kyle and over ok?

 

[daedalius]

Fascinating.

Oh no a needler!

Are kyle and over ok?

Over has been in the FUD chat being angry.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Are kyle and over ok?

I think they murder suicided, or they are preparing for a counter attack. Maybe both, it is the beginning of the zombie apocalypse afterall.

 

[TS x Massacre]

Are kyle and over ok?

Not sure,

I really want to see actual matches, clips of gameplay don't give enough context. Friday will hopefully be our real chance to see the competitive MP.

However I am still excited.

 

[CyReN]

Are kyle and over ok?

Last I heard from them

 

[Mister Negative]

Fascinating.

Wonder what that shield is? Overshield?

 

[Franklinator]

Oh no a needler!

Well there's also the scattershot, a 1-2 shot kill. And a shield, either overshield or the armor ability shield we've seen.

Better than rockets or something I guess

 

[CyReN]

 

[Rickenslacker]

Wonder what that shield is? Overshield?

Considering the other two choices, I doubt it. My assumption is more to the hardlight shield we've seen.

On that note, have we heard anything about OS and Camo pickups returning? I don't want a case of Reach where they have to hamfistedly patch them back in awkwardly.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

So I think it's safe to assume there are no ordinary weapon spawns in the gametypes with weapon drops.

 

[Ramirez]

I personally have no problem with the Ordinance, because in 75%+ of my matches, I'll be benefiting from it greatly.

BK's are the only ones that should be worried about Ordinance, I could see it becoming a real nightmare when going against better players.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Wonder what that shield is? Overshield?

Probably that personal shield that was shown, which looks like it takes a certain amount of damage before disabling.

Why does Unicron have eyeballs?

 

[Hypertrooper]

Are kyle and over ok?

Suicide.

 

[daedalius]

Hardlight shield looks like it has a limited duration as well; going to blue to red before winking off, like the jackal shields.

Can't hide behind it forever, thankfully.

Keep current bumper jumper controls, but with these changes:
X = Sprint
A = Armor Ability
Up on D-Pad = Switch Grenades.

Everything fits!

I would use it.

[ViewtifulJC]

A victory bonus? GOOD, now I have a reason to want to win.

My thoughts exactly. Winning/completing objective giving you far and away the most points gives me something to shoot for, instead of just playing alot to get fat inheritor overdozz status.

 

[789shadow]

Fuck it, I'm totally fucking psyched.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Keep current bumper jumper controls, but with these changes:
X = Sprint
A = Armor Ability
Up on D-Pad = Switch Grenades.

Everything fits!

I can dig it. Though seriously, let me activate Jetpack with jump. I will never not jump before using it, so just give Jetpack that exception. Don't disappoint me 343.

 

[op_ivy]

so much new media and info to take in! holy shit, it all looks phenomenal. that hardlight shield! i dunno if it will be gamebreaking, but wow was it cool.

 

[Mister Negative]

I'd use the HELL out of this.

This. I've been posting this scheme since sprint was announced as a default feature.

Imagine that, but in MP. Looks like you can turn it off and on really fast.

I don't like it. Looks annoying. Not nearly as bad as armor lock, but still annoying.

 

[Fracas]

So I'd guess the Assault Carbine mentioned in the Game Informer article became the Storm Rifle?

 

[Franklinator]

Scattershot looks like it also disables vehicles.

 

[kittens]

Yeah, I thinking pressing jump in mid-air to active jetpack is genius.

Scattershot looks like also disables vehicles.

I'm still confused about this! It looks like it takes more than one shot, maybe? Or has a delayed EMP effect?

This. I've been posting this scheme since sprint was announced as a default feature.

Yeah, I stole the idea from you.

 

[Ramirez]

I personally hope for a LB/Sprint--RB/AA--LS/Crouch--X/Reload--A/Jump configuration. :\

Preorder cancelled.

Spoiler

if I actually had it preordered

 

[Steelyuhas]

CoD Elite

Battlefield Premium

Hopefully waypoint gets some sweet extra integration.

Did you/are you getting Premium?

Fascinating.

Right: Ellis wasn't a bullshit liar, not everything is a weapon in a drop.

Pistol's 8 shot clip. If they give it 5 shot kills again it's being sent to die.

It has been sent to die. It was sent to die many years ago sadly.

LOL. The one clip of a DMR firing more than two shots is given with no HUD. I wonder why?

There was first person with HUD of the DMR in yesterday's B-roll. The bloom never expanded outside the outside circle and what very quick. It's clearly just a visual indicator on when you can fire again.

 

[CyReN]

I personally hope for a LB/Sprint--RB/AA--LS/Crouch--X/Reload--A/Jump configuration. :\

They will have a lot from the sounds of it, can't wait.

 

[Homeboyd]

TheOddOne, need a breakdown of all new info from these videos!

 

[Gabotron ES]

He cancelled the Scattershot animation by quickly sprinting, that means you can avoid it if you want to.

 

[squidhands]

I personally hope for a LB/Sprint--RB/AA--LS/Crouch--X/Reload--A/Jump configuration. :\

I could go for this, especially after playing Crysis on the 360.

Imagine that, but in MP. Looks like you can turn it off and on really fast.

I don't like it. Looks annoying. Not nearly as bad as armor lock, but still annoying.

Here's the way I see it. You can't attack while using it, your turn and walking speeds seems reduced, so a well placed grenade will be effective. Or sprinting with thrusters to get a better angle.

 

[CyReN]

 

[Rickenslacker]

X to... nade? What the ungodly hell! ALL MY CONFIDENCE IS SHOT!

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

New Video incoming.

Just filmed a Halo 4 vid w/ @Walshy304 - you won't wanna miss it Uploading to http://www.youtube.com/BravoMLG now. Please RT so everyone can see!

 

[bobs...onGaf]

That Pistol Nade gun looks like its going to be abusable, am I right in thinking that once you lay down a trip mine with it, that the screen alerts you when someone is near it? People could easily potentially camp and set traps with that thing, then again the Reach Pro-Pipe had similar functionality and didnt really lead to camping, so I hope they get the balance right.

It will be awesome sticking an enemy spartan with it and then holding on and not exploding them until they run into a teammate or something lol.

 

[Trey]

Sword is still ass it looks like.

But on the bright side, everything else was amazing. The Spartans stand up a little rigidly but who cares? this game is hype.
