It's hard to keep up with all of the new media. It looks like Halo 4 is next on Gamespot, after Far Cry 3.

A lot of sites are doing things

Also just saw the "Ammo Pack" for the first time in the Infinity Multiplayer video.

What kind of phone do you have? Would that work?

I have a Windows Phone 7 HTC Mozart. It has Skype. Can I use it as a headset replacement? Mmh.

 

[kylej]

Hopefully snipe being hard to use doesn't = we're gimping the weapon to protect people. We shall see.

Really wish we were getting a Forge reveal at e3. soooooo curious what it's going to be.

 

[Ramirez]

-Gunplay extremely predictable and weapons feel great

This is the most important thing. It was amazing how much I enjoyed Reach when ZB/Bleedthrough came out. I can deal with a lot of garbage as long as the gunplay isn't decided by coin flips.

Walshy said in that YT vid that it seemed like a full second between sniper shots, no clue how long the delay was on the old games, but I don't feel like it was that long, I know 2 wasn't. Higher emphasis on headshots, and less body shot spam=good change, IMO. If that is the intended purpose...

Will a 360 headset work on a computer? lolimstupid

No way. Have to spread it out.
Comic-Con or more likely PAX.

What I mean is, can phone skype join group calls?

I don't think so... Google?
Although, if it works on GFWLive...

 

[minasodaboy]

all the multiplayer stuff looks and sounds great (with headphones and loud volume). it really will be interesting to play though. gaffer first impressions sounds alright.

also the DOF in some of those screen shots has me hopeful for theater mode.

Thanks! Even more to look through.
The hub on Forward Unto Dawn seems really useful for keeping on top of things.

Does not look like it.

Protect people from sloppy double body shots from across the map?

This is the most important thing. It was amazing how much I enjoyed Reach when ZB/Bleedthrough came out. I can deal with a lot of garbage as long as the gunplay isn't decided by coin flips.

I'd play in there if Striker and Havok ever wanted to.

Bloom is terrible. Dmr bloom in h4 looks fine, if it even does anything; looks like it resets before you can even fire again.

lol I was like... "Aaaannnnndd... it's the first time I've seen it!"

It's towards the end in one of the menu shots.

That chat is giving me a headache. So damn fast! :lol

Angry Cortana is angry

 

[higherARC05]

343Industries,

I want your babies in me now.

That is all.

 

[Overdoziz]

So ehm, you can get a power-up that increases damage via personal ordnance drops? :\

 

[789shadow]

She won't stop glaring at me.

Make it stop.

 

[Gabotron ES]

Ghost Zombies is pretty fun, loving the Ghostbuster vibe!

 

[daedalius]

So ehm, you can get a power-up that increases damage via personal ordnance drops? :\

You can also get an overshield or a speed boost.

Seems more like quake all the time.

 

[Slightly Live]

Thanks dude, we aim to please.

 

[Woorloog]

So ehm, you can get a power-up that increases damage via personal ordnance drops? :\

What? Oh, no. I don't mind the drops themselves... but this?

 

[789shadow]

There is absolutely no excuse for being able to have extra damage via ordinance drops.

Stinkles pls.

 

[Tashi]

Angry Cortana is angry

"You don't like Ordinance Drops!?!!"

 

[Risen]

There is absolutely no excuse for being able to have extra damage via ordinance drops.

Stinkles pls.

I believe it has been stated a gazillion times those drops are only available in specific game types.

 

[Ramirez]

Fretting over Ordinance is pointless until we find out exactly how it works, and what gametypes it shows up in. For all we know the higher damage could be something that only is available after you hit 25-0 or something.

Really wish we didn't have to wait until Friday to learn about this stuff.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

I literally* said: Come on...

(* literally in Dutch though)

I guess I'm the only person who remembers quad-damage.

 

[789shadow]

Tashi, I don't have a headset, that okay?

 

[Poker Face]

maybe in just in beta? please just in beta?

 

[Risen]

I guess I'm the only person who remembers quad-damage.

I'm with you...

 

[thezerofire]

I think ordnance drops and all that are only Infinity Slayer

 

[JonCha]

Only concerned about Ordance Drops right now. Not sold on being able to select three weapons. My impression is the game randomly selected one.

And Halo 4's next up on Gamespot.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Halo 4 is next on Gamespot right now guys.

Coming on after the current break. Woo.

[Woorloog]

Oh, i remember it all right. Just don't want that stuff in Halo, at least in form of a drop. If it were just additional static power up like the camo and OS in Halo 1-3, then it'd be ok.

Live Beta plox

 

[daedalius]

I'm with you...

But in a good way

only when I had it.

 

[Ramirez]

Infinty Slayer sounds like a good gametype though, I love the fact that assists/multikills/etc. all play a part in the final score.

 

[Kuroyume]

Man, I really hope the thruster is nothing like Evade. Just imagine some dude sprinting with the sword and then thrusting at you while lunging.

 

[Spawnling]

Coming on after the current break. Woo.

No idea what they're showing! Most likely an interview etc.

 

[daedalius]

Man, I really hope the thruster is nothing like Evade. Just imagine some dude sprinting with the sword and then thrusting at you while lunging.

Mechanically it IS evade; except with one charge, you don't roll, and it doesn't go as far.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Agree, it adds a risk/reward to things like assassinations other than just cosmetic payoffs (medals, animations). You'll appreciate that ninja on you team a lot more now.

No idea what they're showing! Most likely an interview etc.

They said it was delayed while they did the equipment setup.

Starting now, Josh and Ray from 343 on.

 

[Hypertrooper]

They do not have to set up an interview.

 

[Poker Face]

are we sure infinity slayer isn't actually just the default slayer type? the can have whatever if its not in something like team slayer, or lone wolves.

 

[Fracas]

Infinty Slayer sounds like a good gametype though, I love the fact that assists/multikills/etc. all play a part in the final score.

Wait, assists and multikills add up to a team's total score? I thought I was mistaken when I first heard that.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Evade
Booster

Armor Lock
Hard Light Shield

Jetpack
Jetpack

I can only assume the Spartan in the very back is about to deploy a Drop Shield.

Game looks fun though, can't wait to try it. (Hopefully at PAX Prime.)
