Thrusters at work:
Can't wait to try it, seems to be a lot better than just flying straight and and being a easy target.

Same as Reach except that Sprint is on X rather than grenade swap. I think that's pretty acceptable.
Yep, I'll definitely be using it.

Yeah, good games for sure. Sorry I couldn't drop that +43 our team needed when we played against those two teams of cyborgs.
Some may call him Roche. Some may call him Roach. Some may call him Breg. Or Berg. Or the King of Despair. The Deathless Prince. The Bringer of Night. And these are the words that shall set him free.

I honestly hope we go back to four shot because this game is Halo 4. not a prequel like reach was. You can't just go from 4 shot with a BR in Halo 2 and Halo 3 and then make it 5 shot. If anything I would prefer it to be a 3 shot weapon, but maybe that is asking to much.

The feedback they're getting will hopefully change it. They shouldn't have really messed with it much imo.
I remember seeing a possible bumper jumper button layout I really liked on THC, I'll post it if I can find it.

You are not wrong. Jump, grenade, shoot, and melee should all be useable while aiming: that's the reason for Bumper Jumper. Put Sprint and AA on face buttons.

And even with that you can't properly use AAs that you need to hold down the button for (Jetpack, PV at longer range). :/

Get that Twilight shit outta here!
Seriously though, how can such a big budget film have such mediocre CGI? The one you posted Biggy looks pretty solid, but that one Plywood posted is awful.

360 ships with 4GB.. and can be extended the same way the Wii U can.

Why the hell do I see twilight shit in mah Halo thread!?
They should just add the option to hold the jump button to use the jetpack if you use bumper jumper or whatever the actual bumper jumper control scheme is called.

Or just remove the Jetpack.

Were it so easy...
I remember thinking the Dropshield in Reach would only be in Campaign and Firefight for obvious reasons.

I don't think so. Remember, your loadout is the same for Spops and multiplayer. It would be pretty stupid if you couldn't use one of your loadouts in multiplayer. Besides, in the leaked screenshots from the internal beta, you could already see that the jetpack was unlockable and IIRC, that beta was multiplayer only.
I just hope loadouts can be limited by map/gametype just as ordinance drops are. I mean why wouldn't they, they can't have people using their Infinity loadouts in classic playlists.

They probably can. Otherwise, playlists like swat, snipers or classic, as you said, would be impossible. But I think it's a safe bet to say that about the majority of all playlists will allow you to use your own loadouts.

Im sure with custom games you will have 2 options.
Custom Loadouts On/Off
Gametype Loadouts Yes/No (Yes would allow you to make 7 loadouts for the gametype)
Spartan Base traits (if loads out are off and no gametype loadout then this is how you set spawning weapons)
Im also fairly confident that with forge 3.0 and custom game options you will be able to mirror classic "Blainer spawns here, RL spawns here" mechanics of older halo games.
Something really grabbed my interest watching the David Ellis interview with T2. "I just want to say to everyone out there, they have not seen anything yet"
Also Frankie and David both look like they have been getting into shape. Boys Am Proud
I remember this too, as well as a couple other soundbytes from other MLG vids, and I am seriously trying not to take them seriously. I imagine they are probably refining custom gametype settings to emulate the deeper "hidden" settings between Reach and CEA, to really give the hardcore their "Halo when it was Halo" gameplay.

Need the Forge reveal ASAP!
From the way Ghaleon described his impressions, it sounds like he doesn't like competitive Halo 4 at all. That's not me shitting on him or anything, that's just my impression.
Outside of Promethean Vision and Overshield - which is reportedly in Ordnance Drops - I like everything. Reduce range of former, make latter pick up. Simple.

Which is why it's absolutely essential and should be a top priority to the multi team to have some sort of visual indicator on your opponent as to what specialisation he's using. This is also true of AA's. I need to know if my opponent has faster shield regen to make an informed decision in battle. If they don't implement this then I WILL take that as evidence that 343 doesn't give a shit.
Judging by the campaign and the good stuff in multi I do think they care. However if I get in a 1v1 and his shields recharge faster than mine and I wasn't given prior notice that he had this ability then... Bullshit TM (C) in Halo returns. It's been there too long.
Same with the shield AA. I want to know if my opponent has it before I start an engagement with him.

Where can I see Overshield?
Actually I don’t feel like he doesn’t like the competitive at all. He just highlights frustrations that might arise from the new sandbox elements – they way he describes it to is entirely reasonable and he backs that up with enough arguments.
Ghal‘s points are very relevant, that is how I feel about it anyway.

Wow Naded is hyping me more for this game than any official press release for Halo 4 so far. He's very enthusiastic about it. Makes me think, even if there's garbage, the base game is going to be good enough to make a very good Halo videogame.
