There is no Drop Shield. It is the Jackal shield making it look like there was a Drop Shield.

The question you have to ask yourself is if you'd rather go up against a rocket launcher or increased damage primary weapon.
Great stuff!
My write-up:
- Incendiary weapons are Forerunner weapons, such as the Scattershot and Lightrifle we saw during the campaign reveal.
- Every time a Forerunner weapon is used, you will get that incendiary animation when killing someone.
- You can bounce off the Scattershot, kind of like the Grenade Launcher from Halo Reach.
- One of the new armor abilities is a shield, when equipped you go into third person and you will not be able to shoot.
- Shield is able to deflect Scattershots – can cause people to commit suicide when used effectively.
- There is a multiplayer mode called Infinite Slayer, with it there is a new point system in where you get points for kills, assist, double-kills, killing spree and more.
- There is a risk and reward aspect in the point system, for example if you go for assassinations you will get more points.
- The Battle Rifle is three-shot burst, there is an indicator when your shots are hitting. On the gun you will see hash marks around your cursor indicating that.
- Promethean vision does a pulsing wave when equipped, it hits any anybody who is in the area.
- There is a possibility to use the full usage percentage of armor ability to see pretty far across the map.
- When you get hit by Promethean vision you will get a audio cue that somebody is using it.
- Sniper Rifle has a lot more recoil to it, between shots it took a while to re-centre it. It was difficult to explain, but it felt powerful and a one-shot kill weapon.
- There is a circle bar on the left side, like the armor ability bar from Reach, on the screen. The more points you get the more it fills up and when it’s full you get to choose a ordnance drop.
- You get to choose three things from the ordnance drops via the D-pad.
- On the right D-pad is going to be power ups, for example speedboost (you move faster, reload faster), powerboost (lets you do more damage) and overshield.
- When somebody is using a power up you will know it via visual tricks such as when you have powerboost you will be red. If you have overshield, you will be green.
- On the right D-pad are weapons such as the Scattershot. They are balancing it out per map basis, on certain levels sniper is the best so that is the highest weapon you can get.
- The ordnance drops carry over when respawned, so if you die before you used it you will get to use when respawned.
- Ordnance drops are very nearby when used and anybody can take it from you.
- Ordnance drops indicators are active when you are nearby, not when you’re on the other side of the map.
Don't know how I feel about that
This might explain why that guy was glowing red in the war games video though. Maybe he had one of those boosts.

Light rifle fires triple shot or one powerful shot when zoomed in.

My friend just brought up something scary...
Camping around a corner with scattershot and promethean vision.
Wait until someone is around the corner, bounce shots off the wall with the scattershot.

...Did Walshy say that the Sniper was a one shot kill?
The real subtitle for every MC Halo game is "Find another Halo ring".

This is really interesting. I guess we'll eventually get on a Halo.
Or it's just a place holder, but hopefully not!

The AR has always had bloom, I'm pretty sure. Only difference is that you have a visual indication now.
"Reach launched with 6 maps" wat
Mad props though... "Reach didn't have the best sales...." haha

You get "pinged" when someone sees you with it, so you should be aware.

I like how he pushed the number of maps...the response wasn't exactly what I wanted though. Sounds like it won't be halo 4 for me till 3 map packs come out.
