Well I mean with this new gun you will have more accuracy over where you place your mines, which worries me, with the NL you had to be pretty damn good to place it precisely in a spot where you could abuse it.
This new nade mine doesnt even seem to emit the same beacon when placed?
Even worse; Twitter drama.

Hopefully (again with the sound thing) it chirps or something when it's placed. At least the person holding it is helpless while he's sitting there waiting to detonate.

Perhaps somethings comes up in your HUD if one is near? It certainly doesn't seem to make a noise or telegraph itself.

Yep. It even looks pretty cheap to destroy. Remember the comments from people who fear that it is going to be the new armor lock.

How dare they!
So like, will this game have every single weapon we've ever seen in Halo + some new ones? Sure seems like we've got a large armory to work with here, which of course would necessitate some rebalancing.

Oh I see. Yeah I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I feel like these MLG personalities live in a world where they've inflated their egos to astronomical levels, funny really.
The question was whether or not it STOPPED Sprint.didn't frankie or ellis say it slowed you down...?

They did. He said it didn't stop you, so maybe it actually did slow you down.

Except at this point it's not the MLG person displaying his ego, it's U4X.

I need to get back home so i can dissect this stuff a little better...with sound. These gameplay teasers with their shot changes every second, it reminds me of mtv. Not as bad as that recent Crysis 3 trailer though; that thing set the new standard for seizure inducing camera shot changes.
Yes, I'll frame it next to my Jen Taylor autograph.

Well, someone's already adapting.

No, no it doesn't, but it does sound a lot better.
This is a 50 cal, and this video doesn't do it justice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fHE1yNk0js

Which is weird because the Warthog turret sounds like a pellet gun. That's my only small complaint about the audio so far.

Game looks so good, props to the artists and the sound guys.

Warthog seemed slightly off, but they will probably balance it out for release.
HUD looks amazing, I'm kind of sad you don't see the visor edges in multiplayer like you do through MCs visor.
Warthog turret should sound meatier considering how MEATY the AR sounds, lol.

Production value on the game looks great. The gameplay looks like they took a halo base and overlayed COD. Still not convinced.

Did anyone else think the plasma grenade sounded like a plasma launcher round? I hope they change that.
I was saddened when they screwed up Bumper Jumper in Reach. My ideal Bumper Jumper setup for Halo 4 might be:
RT-Shoot
RB-Grenade
LT-Armor Ability
LB-Jump
RS-Zoom
LS-Sprint
A-Crouch
B-Melee
X-Reload/Action
Y-Switch Grenades
Ideally there should be another shoulder button for melee, but what the fuck. This game is doing too much shit at once.

Followed up with Walshy, he says that being shot didn't slow him down either (sprint).

maybe nitpicking but, pretty sure its supposed to slow sprint down, not stop it entirely

Well, here is some of the Halo 4 recording from the field back in February.

Just like COD.

In CoD you'd be dead before it mattered.
Brolic Gaoler

Lol, nope, but yeah, it will only be worse in Halo.
In CoD, you die because you exist.
Copying elements of COD wholesale without recognizing how that could affect core Halo gameplay?
Why I never.

Ewww, no me gusta.
MLG pro guys are funny, 343 should have already merged Invasion and MLG just to see their reactions.

Hmm. I think I'll trust Frankie and David's assurances over Walshy's in this case.

Wait, I thought people were upset that being shot slowed you down... now it doesn't slow you down and people are upset?
Deadly Cyclone

I was unaware that CoD was the first game in which you could sprint and be shot, while not slowing.
Anywho, I'm anxious to see Frank's notes on this.
Also, Walshy didn't mention that he hated it.
No... that's copying CoD style game play that speeds the game up... which many people like.
Stinkles comes in here: "Decisions were made higher up, and statements made in this thread earlier may not still be accurate."

I thought for sure someone at 343 said being shot slowed you down considerably.
Brolic Gaoler

There is a good chance it's simply not in yet so they can figure out how much stopping power is the right amount. They have to balance it for all host of weapons.
I think the concern is with power weapons and sprint.

Why would anyone be upset if being shot slowed you down? Seemed like a good balancing measure.
