Hm, interesting.. I wonder what will pan out from this.
:lol
That reminds me, I wish the rumor for Reach ended up being true, where you could rip off dead Hunters arms and use them as a detachable turret style weapon. That would be awesome.
Speaking of Hunters, assuming they are back in Halo 4 I hope we see more variations of em, possible mini scarab styled hunters, etc.

What I got from the last couple pages is HaloGAF can't adapt to button glitches and is bad. I mean I already knew but thanks for the reconfirm.
Jesus some of you guys who proclaim it ruined Halo probably never even made it far enough up to see them being used...
Everyone plays the same game. Its fair. Figure out how to do it. Kind of like how you figure out everything else that does and doesn't work in the game.
Its Bungie's fault for not rolling with it or fixing it!, and adding a note that tells you how to do it. Take 14 seconds and look it up on Youtube.
Such babies.
Oh and as for it "Breaking" the H2 weapon sandbox...Really? You want to go there? Nothing in that fucking game was balanced.

I aim to please
The article is just conflating the existing idea that Halo 4 is an example competitive shooter. We have no specific arrangements or tech tying into their announcement beyond the pro match already aired.

I remember seeing Emile's helmet as a helmet option from the beta in a screen released by some modder, he also said something about the CAMO PATTERN thing.Some unused strings from Halo Reach (interesting in a almost cutting room floor way)

My original Halo 3 got messed up. Resulted in no campaign maps and only Snowbound (i think) loading for disc maps. Apparently they made a lock icon for campaign maps you didn't have.

Uh replace button glitches with bloom, armor lock, jetpacks etc and its the same thing. Same with glitches from Halo 2 like long range sword lunge via sniper/rocket scope. I mean really? Halo isn't the game for button glitches, and most players were only on the receiving end. I mean, I do get why people liked them, but no.

Whoa.
So, observer mode and camo patterns. Interesting. I always wondered what happened to the camo pattern from the Beta, I was disappointed it didnt turn into anything like this. Also, I guess that implies skulls were once hidden and not automatically unlocked? I would have preferred this.
Why do they complain about something(ordnance) that probably won't even be used in their competitive modes?

I figure Spectator/Observer mode would not be too hard to implement. All the features already exist in either forge, respawn cams or theatre.
On another note the fact we didnt get a multiplayer beta heavily limits the likely hood of leaks from data mining

Ehm, because they played matches with personal ordnance drops on? I don't see the problem.
Because they're giving impressions of what they played? This isn't a difficult thing to follow.
That's fine, but they are alluding that they won't be able to turn them off it seems; even though we already know that ordnance is a feature in infinity slayer, so obviously it is gametype dependent.
I don't know if I'd want ordnance in a competitive objective game either, but it seems like it is a 'fun' thing to have in the game.
We already know that the Personal Ordnance drops are exclusive to that playlist, but these pros have been at E3 all week so I doubt they had much time to catch up on all info.
You guys saw Ellis' answers from yesterday, but you might have missed these:

Some great info here thanks Wu.
Regicide medals and more helmets than reach but with no attachments (attachments did kind of suck)

That last question really worries me about the pre-order exclusives being completely exclusive to the pre-order, instead of getting a chance to earn them later on.
We weren't even really talking about exclusives as exclusives - we were talking about them as skins (they're the only skins we've seen so far). Don't draw any conclusions about availability from his answers - he wasn't even CONSIDERING that aspect.

Nonetheless it's still one of the things that bugs me about the game.

This is great, especially the King Slayer medal. I always hated how Grifball perverted a players medal chest with unlikely multi-kill medals from the upper echelons.

On the video with Neighbor and Elamite, Bravo said that there is a limit to spawns in Halo: Reach... except the limit is 255 which only like a handful of maps have EVER used and that is by extremely amateur forgers... lol. So while the statement was true it made it sound like there was such a low limit on spawns that that is the reason why spawning was often bad in Reach. Made me giggle as a forger.

I've been thinking the same thing. Also related, even if we don't see them, it will be interesting to see what Promethean-equivalent we'll be facing. War Sphinx perhaps?

Love these two pieces of info.

Random times and locations for the global drops. I really hope there is something to prevent the drop happening right in front of a player, it would be so unfair.

Terrible. This is in every (of course, not the classic gametypes) game mode isn't it?

Kingslayer! Amazing!
Cool that they are implementing a lot of gametype specific medals. I always thought the few of those that were in Bungie's Halo games were cool.
That film is so funny.
Yeah, the way I understand it, Global ordnance drops replace the old weapon spawning mechanic from the other games, so it will be across pretty much everything (save for possibly some "classic" gametypes.
And yes, it's terrible.
$50 million in a weekend for an R move is very very good.
Jesus H what idiot approved a $270 million budget for Men in Black 3?!
