Just how is PV OP? Sure, you know where the others are... but with good map knowledge and knowing the maps flow and seeing glimpses of others, you can make good educated guesses where others are. And with that and some other AA than PV, you can win battles more easily, even if you don't where they're exactly and end up not getting the first shot.

Hologram makes it very difficult for PV users to identify if what they are shooting is a hologram or not apparently.
Yea I watched it. I liked the questions Walshy gave, you could tell he was thinking about it from the perspective of having played Shadowrun.
Ah I see. Thanks, I haven't watched any of the developer commentaries yet.

Seems like I was finally able to start downloading the vids. Will report back in a few, but it may be the same quality as MLG player.
Interesting. Bumper Jumper puts AA on a trigger.
Looks like a job for Razer Onza.
where'd clench protection go

Based on those videos (and my preferences of gameplay), the single shot weapons will be the way to go for me in H4.
I assume that promethean vision will get some tweaks before launch, it seems a bit too powerful in this build.
Is that the Windows loading icon?
LOL, yes it is.
Also, can you not see what the second weapon is that you are holding in the HUD. WUT?
Is that when hologram is active or does hologram just have to be equipped?
I hate to bring up Shadowrun again (Enhanced Vision and Promethean Vision are very similar), but in Shadowrun you never had to have Smoke active to hide yourself from Enhanced Vision. Smoke just had to be equipped.
Scroll down moar. I mean, YOU can't but that screen can. Also, control schemes in this build are NOT finished. Something we spent a bunch of time talking to pros about.

I'm sure the final controls schemes are not all in the game yet. I'd relax about those.
EDIT: Frankie with the assist.

I'M TRYING TO SCROLL BUT IT'S NOT WORKING
I'm happy just with the somewhat confirmed Legacy sticks still being, tbh

I noticed it's 60 kills for your team to win, instead of 50. Although I wouldn't look too far into that, probably just so people get more hands-on time with the map.
Hopefully the competitive settings only have single-shot primary's. I've already seen multiple sweeping headshots with the BR.
What would be the best way for them (pros) to give you feedback btw?
Yea that is fucked up.
If anything, melee should have been switched to a face button. It is easier to melee without control of your right thumbstick than it is to precisely grenade an area. Melee has auto aim, and has been on a face button for the default controls on several Halo titles.
If you have ever played with the "Jumpy" control settings in Halo CE, trying to grenade with a face button is quite difficult.

Is Halo multiplayer back? What madness is this?

At the end of the Spartan Ops video, T2 calls David, Dave.
He. Doesn't. Even. Know.

It's been in since the first Halo, it centers your reticule as you move.

That has been in several Halo games, AFAIK.
It basically just re-centers the reticule after you move it away from the center. Takes about a second or two to re-center.
EDIT: Of course, I have been beaten.
Yes, it is back.

Looks like we can rock the Team Double playlist(if it exists) and have fun at the same time.
Depends on what Halo multiplayer means to you.

Hopefully the finished build fixes a lot of things we're asking about/Walshy was asking about.
A go to answer it seems for things we don't enjoy/like/look like crap are "It's still in development" or "It's not in this build lol".
Please 343, don't just be saying this and then be like "eff it".
I mean, when Kevin said a bunch of stuff is still in development, it makes me wonder, how much time is left for 343 to get all this stuff done.

Rocket Launcher now fires like a Halo 3 Missile Pod? :/
With a blast radius of 3 inches.
Haha it does, it does.

Frankie, I know I'm joking most of the time and I know these control schemes aren't final.
But please consider that with the way Bumper Jumper is right now, there's no possible way for me to run around, aim and throw a grenade at the same time.
Armor Ability on A world work perfectly well and it would keep the playing style people expect from BJ
Just a thought.

I'm pretty sure games go gold about a month before release, so a ~4 months.
Seems like people are using Prothean vision a lot solely so they can find enemies to fight on these big maps.
It's also hard to see the enemies on the mech map, they just blend in with the background.
BR recoil looks pretty frustrating too, the gun trembles just enough to look annoying.

Thanks for clearing that up.
That's what she said.
Its not negative, its simply a statement of fact. Halo MP has meant many different things over the years.
If you grew up in the "teamshot or die, individual's are ineffective" Halo MP era, then yes, Halo MP appears to be "back' with a bunch of Reach MP stuff thrown in as well.

And it's the slowest thing in the world
I guess it's better then "Hey 4+ free kills" the current Reach version is.

Right, I have faith, it just seems like a daunting task to have to work on the feedback from E3 and add in all the stuff we didn't see, and make sure it's balanced.
Best of luck 343.
