Completely agree. I would say Star wars 1313 too, but it was so limited in what they showed.

Hyper is right, phew. I just lost fate in mankind of a second there.
Yeah, noticed. And didn't like. Doesn't sound like plasma should (as i think it should sound, more likely existing Halos), sounds more like a physical projectle.
As for IGN choosing Black Ops 2 as the best... i know i wouldn't have chosen Halo 4 as the best for the gameplay shown wasn't great (scripted, too easy, too slowly played) but definetly wouldn't have chosen COD... Well, i wouldn't have chosen, probably (Maybe Splinter Cell, despite it not being Splinter Cell anymore really. But it looked okay otherwise).

Playing CEA is so weird. During gameplay, everything looks fantastic, and then when you're in cutscenes it's like you're watching a freak show.

was it fun? feel like reach? 2? 3? ce? none?
was anything game breaking or exploited?
was sprint double melee a problem?
does it sound better on a television?

Did 1313 show off anything other than during that interview with Geoff? I mean, yes it looked incredibly pretty, but it was running on a high end PC.

Watched more clips.
Weapons sound weird. Some great/good, but a fair few of the human ones sound bad/odd.

Too late.
She has deleted the tweet so I can only get this:
I don't mean to call her out but I'll call anyone out that has said anything bad about the community and gets a offer like this. I don't know her personally so all I know is she could be really nice.
I agree T2/Walshy are fine, but I will say they haven't done anything in the last 6 months, they aren't required to but hey it's how it works.
u4ix has done a lot for a community that has hit it's darkest hour. To say he made a big difference would be a joke.

...and? It looked freaking glorious.

Check Plywood's gif. Thrusters and Jetpacks are in. Thruster is just a fixed and cooler looking version of Evade.
In the interview, MTW said both are in.
And it looked utterly boring and uninspired, gameplay wise.
Want my Jedi Knight 5 or Republic/Imperial Commando.

agreed. Jetpack is one of the most game-breaking things in Reach imo

Bizarre. Is the Thruster a Tribes skiing kind of thing?

I have no problem with the HUD. I think it looks totally fine. I also think the Ordinance drop piece will come and go very quickly considering just how fast they drop. It's basically instantly.
Did the multiplayer videos get a new thread on the gaming side? I'll throw one up if not.
That will make them a bit easier, but I am fearful of their ability to just hop scotch across intended map design layouts. There's always customs.

I'll give you that it looks like Uncharted-esq from what we saw, but still looked suprisingly decent.

Halo doesn't have the kind of map design or movement for it to be. From the looks of it, it's just Evade as Evade was, but covering less distance.
It's a lot of fun but yeah, it breaks maps. The jet pack should work as a jump pack, you press button and the you fly a certain distance in a ballistic arc. Or just give you a boost when you jump.

And that's the literally the only thing it had going for it, too. Halo, Watch Dogs, and Last of Us were on another level.
I mean, I don't meant to rag, but I can't be too impressed by such a limited demo, no matter how good it looks.

Well that's good for you, I'm just asking for options for my tastes.
Jetpacking should lower weapon, just like sprinting does.

This. I want, nay, NEED it included in the game.
Points based on damage? BUENO.

With thrust basically acting as evade, it gives me hope the Metroid Prime influences will continue and we'll get massive boss fights in the campaign.
Gah that'd be so awesome.
Doesn't sound like "Halo", but it certainly sounds fun. So long as there are more competitive elements somewhere in the mix, I'll be perfectly happy.

Frankie said already that there will be plenty control option available at launch.
Boss fights can be worse or good. If they are like Metroid Prime. Yeah I'd welcome them but I fear more that they will suck like the Tartarus or the Prophet fight in Halo 2. Would love more difficult encounters.

Finally something that should have been done before. Gears does this and it's probably one of the better things about gears.

Errr no. I love Prime's bossfights, but keep that out of Halo. The Prophet of Regret and Tartarus were the some of the worst parts of Halo 2.
The only bosses in Halo should be Brute Chieftain and Scarab-style pseudo-bosses.
But do you want to fracture things like Reach did? IMO, it should be classic grab bags lists and Halo 4 lists, but how will each one retain a steady population?

Plenty, sure, but that one?

Less bitchin' about "wtf stole my kill". You did most of the damage, you put in most of the work, you get most of the points.
