When I tuned in, they were talking about the infinity, so nothing new. It seemed like they played a demo before I started watching but I'm not sure. The Halo 4 main menu was visible in the background but not very clearly.

Awesome, looking forward to hearing his impressions.
Sure, I'd be up for it. Playing with 4 people should be fun.
Totally agree on not having superfluous bullshit... but we were specifically talking about sprint... which I don't think is superfluous bullshit. It's opinion only... but I think it adds to the game play rather than getting in the way of the game play.
If my reaction time were slower, if I thought slower, if vision was worse, awareness not that good, etc... I might hate it.
My hope is that all the other "stuff" being added, will be added in such a way that it doesn't get in the way of the core game play that Frankie and David have spoken about.
If it does get in the way... it will be just like Reach for me... something I play because friends play it, not something I play because I love it.

I already told my BFF that I'd play through it with him. He moved to Japan last year and is almost constantly working, and I told him I wouldn't wait till the weekend after Nov 6 to play with main campaign with him, haha. So, I've got to at least play through Spops with him.
Underneath all the shit (or what seems like shit for now) there seems to be that good old snappy fun Halo gameplay, something that Reach lacked. That's enough to get me on board I guess.
So glad Tojima laughed that stupid metallic shield drop clink sound out of the building. Awful.
Play it twice.

Scroll down to Naded's impressions... yum <3.
Thanks Cyren for keeping up to date so well.
I really hope we can add a much needed depth to Halo's competitive play, will entice a lot more viewers to watch the game if it's something other than one gun and all the same movement.
I've always liked objective for the strategic aspect of it all, hopefully the new abilities/etc will add strategy/fun to slayer without breaking it. I'm getting really fucking excited.
Old wraparound I believe is what I heard.

I can play. Not release day though, lol.
Plan on doing LAN customs in my dorm starting at exactly 12:01. As soon as I wake up after that, it's campaign time.

The issue is Mrs Violence bashed the Halo community recently and hopped on the CoD train, and this pops up.

I really hope there's a useable and intuitive control scheme for this game, the ones we've heard of so far are ridiculous (nade on x? wtf) The one posted earlier would be perfect imo (reach bumper jumper with sprint on x, AA on a and switch nade on D-pad).
I'm not even into MLG, and I agree. That's not cool.
Oh well though, what are you going to do.
What did Violence say exactly?
edit:
Also why do the rockets fire off slowly? Reminds me of the missile pod from H3.

Ohhh, much better names.
k. I can't wait to hear the new and innovative ways in which you find things to rage about.
My Xbox won't be connected to Live that night, joke's on you!!!!!
Eh, who am I kidding.
Good stuff. Some thoughts from each.
War Games
The weapon sounds are more muffled than I thought they would be, the BR in particular. They sound almost silenced.
Animations are fantastic.
Not a fan of personal ordnance, in any context. But given that 343 has been saying they are only deployed in certain game types - can we please know what those are? It's not useful to introduce a disruptive element such as that and then NOT tell players when they will be utilized; I really would like those two things to be communicated in tandem. "This is what personal ordnance is, these are the kinds of playlists you will see it in." Doling out information on new elements sans context just adds confusion and worry.
First BTB map shown, and it's 1) asymmetric and 2) snowy. Bravo.
Looks similar in style and layout as Breakpoint, which is a good thing. I just hope the mountain peak at the center is NOT accessible to snipers.
This is how much health the Ghost pilot had when his vehicle blew up. It looks like the Warthog chaingun finished him off, so there was no damage spike at the end. This is really super very concerning, player health needs to be tied to vehicle health again. Reach's BTB is a mess in part because they were decoupled.
Assassinations sound nice and squishy with all the stabbing and bone breaking. Nice.
Medals are doled out in force; someone AR's a Ghost pilot out and earns four of them for the effort.
Vehicles look and sound nice and heavy, very industrial sounding.
Spartan Ops
Looks like mini Campaign missions, focused on certain types of encounters: assault an entrenched location, defend a position, explore a facility, etc. Some interesting environments and encounter set ups, though it was hard to get a feel for the structure or size of them overall.
Did I mention the sound design is really muffled? Nothing has the punch of the Reach DMR. It may grow on me but "beefy" is not what came to mind. Very thump thump thump.
Halo 4 Infinity Multiplayer
I like the new UI, different but compact and clear. You can see the elements they are building on from Reach and how the things like credit payouts, armory, ranks and load outs have evolved together into something more unified.
Overall the thing that keeps getting reinforced is speed: this is Halo on a wee bit of crack. More elements in the sandbox, with a LOT of overlapping weapon roles (to fuel the unlocking mechanics) with sprint on for everyone at all times. I'm a bit nervous about it all - potential for clusterfuck is high (coming off the Reach experience).
My overarching reaction after the videos: I would really like to play it now.

He hasn't made a big enough contribution to the "community" yet to be making such statements I would imagine and two if he had JUST mentioned her it probably would have been "fine" but T2 (as much of a Dbag as he is) and Walshy are fine.
I actually thought that WAS a rocket pod...

Dat brief moment of cinematic framerate. <3
Of course. The moment of truth for this game will be months after release.
What.
The PLASMA PISTOL sounds like a beast. THE FUCKING PLASMA PISTOL.
And the DMR sounds like firing a cannon.
I wonder if anyone can get into the Halo 4 booth demo area like after hours with a camera. Heh.
Also, these guys are still discussing Halo 4 right now. - NVM it just ended.

MLG is having a pretty in depth session with multiplayer this weekend.
Coverage will include commentated gameplay, raw gameplay, interviews with players and a discussion with developers about the finer details of the multiplayer experience. If you want to get a first look at the future of Halo, head over to MLG.tv at 12pm ET Friday, June 8 for coverage you wont find anywhere else.
I remember, for the first few months of Reach's lifespan, I honestly thought it was the best Halo.
And then it hit me.

No. Just no. Less big stuff on my HUD please. Please.
Make it optional?
Allow us to adjust the size?
Empower us in this, please.

Yep. I'll be optimistic but at this point it's nothing but new car smell.
I'd personally rather hear about the new mechanics from the dev team, but whatever I guess.
