You're supposed to learn from your mistakes, Fronkles!
I think that was the thruster animation on his back firing, not a plasma grenade.
1-50 is already confirmed not to be in
I'd like to know why he didn't like it, because they better come up with something better if true. I don't get what's bad about the Halo 2 system where winning more games equals levelling up, without the TrueSkill BS.

It's from the Infinity trailer.

I didn't have any hopes after how Frankie talked about it. But yeah, I'm still hoping for a good replacement but I don't have any high hopes
Frankie made some posts a few OT's back about why ranked was so flawed in halo 3. From his tone, I thought it was safe to assume ranked from Halo 3 isn't coming back for Halo 4.
Dat strafe.
Never gets old.

Now that hitmarkers show on it, it holds a lot more merit now compared to Reach.

oh. that's cool, but not quite as cool as I was imagining.
looks like shorter distance traveled, can only use once per charge, and no fucked up hitboxes
Not sure how likely that is...
I definitely hope for a return of the Hardcore playlist at release. For both Objective and Slayer game types.
Precision Weapon start
No radar
Limited AA/Specialization
Weapons on static spawns
Power ups as pick-ups
Obj:
Objective juggling on
Transparent hill for KoTH
Non-random hill moves
Two-hit objective beat downs
Only one per charge? Huh. Definitely sounds a lot better, then.

I watched that vidoc just this morning, haha. That part made me laugh so hard.
Laugh or cry?
Haven't been paying attention to halogaf, where did that thruster gif come from, looks badass. Also someone post the top 5 kylej hilarious truth bomb slapdowns from the past 24h.
of course you would program a super crutch into the game

Functionality. Didn't know it was one use per charge, and the distance traveled was shortened, that makes me feel a lot better.
PROFIT +10
A little of both
Well, get used to it because it's going to happen all over again

sounds good! ill take it!
Ah, didn't even think about that part.
Ok yeah, probably going to use it for the most part.
Moar assassinations?
Thruster pretty much is evade, one charge, probably longer cooldown, no roll.
Moar points.

Since Windows LIVE is being a bitch to me it'd be nice if someone posted this for me, haters gonna hate and all...
.
Pls, can't check if someone already did it, will just shut up now.
Moar Overdoziz dying because he's bad
nah uh, did you get my tweet btw?
100 BPR says no.
lol your predictable aggressive play says yes
All I want to know is if I can buy that Didact shirt in the near future.
Let me put it this way. What if there was a specialization that gave players stronger shields? Then that five shot BR you're using is a five shot on some guys, and a six shot on others. It means getting into a BR fight with someone without realizing it's not a fair fight. It means the understanding you have about the rules of the game and your own capabilities versus your opponents goes out the window, and you never know when you engage someone if that's a good idea or not.
That's not too far off from faster recharging shields. It's one of those foundational rules of the game: I know how high this guy jumps, I know how many shots I need to put on him to drop him, and I know how long I have until his shields return. Only, some guys will recharge faster than others now, and the only way to find out who is who is to get an unhappy surprise.
Now as I said, to a degree this has always been in Halo (surprise! I has rockets). But I'm finding that there's a line I'm uncomfortable with crossing, and things like the faster shield recharge is a ways across it. It's exactly the kind of thing I got nervous about when specializations were announced. Different people draw the line at different points; I think I'm pretty far down the line to being readily accepting of the changing nature of Halo. But there's definitely a line at which I get uncomfortable, and we're up against it in some ways with what Halo 4 is doing (on just a few elements; I like a lot of what 343 is up to).
I'm still not sure yet how to fully articulate exactly where that line is. It has to do with knowing that everyone on the battlefield is playing by the same set of rules. They can get some different toys, but they are bound to the same set of base rules we all follow. But some of the specializations feel like they are shifting into letting players tinker with the base rules they have to follow.
How about a perk to let you jump go higher? Or carry a 3rd weapon? Or dual wield rocket launchers? These are all over that line, but to varying degrees. It's the same feeling I had when I saw Armor Lock in action for the first time, understanding what it meant for gameplay. Giving some players faster recharging shields - or some the ability to pick up grenades - crosses it as well. That base set of rules isn't just changing, we're to the point where players are starting to be able to pick their own. Obviously I'm going to play it - a lot - to see how it goes. But I am really very nervous about how it will play out.

That'd be cool, but I think we'd need divisions. We're not all Tashi levels of scrublordness. Divide people up in divisions based on K/D, BPR, and/or something else? Give the teams a month to practice, and then start the tournament?
