You guys aren't helping it slow down.

I do what I can.

In all seriousness it wont get any better when actual info is given.

 

[Vire]

Dat lightrifle.

I wonder if it's a Power Weapon in multiplayer. Looks and sounds BOSS.

 

[Recarpo]

I mean, how often are you turning/jumping/meleeing/switching weapons while throwing a grenade?

Well I turn to get the grenades to go where I want and jump to get more height or over objects so very often to both of those.

Actual info? The Forge reveal was just two days ago, dude.

I know. Discussion about it has kinda stopped though.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Quitters, red bar, trueskill, blackscreen, DEFINITIVE HALO.

 

[heckfu]

I think it'll be fine. You don't need to hold down the trigger for extended periods of time to throw a grenade, but you need to hold down the trigger for Hardlight Shield and Jetpack. I'd much rather be able to look around while using Hardlight Shield and Jetpack than let my muscle memory dominate my playstyle.

I mean, how often are you turning/jumping/meleeing/switching weapons while throwing a grenade?

I would venture to say literally every time I throw a grenade my thumb is on the right stick and jumping less often, but I would like to have that freedom rather than be hindered into not being able to.

I've always wondered, does putting MLG or Sniper into my gamertag somehow make me a better player?

Yes

Yep it does. Almost 10 times better then before.

Hopping on Halo... someone come play.

if your gamertag was xMLGxPROxSNIPERx69x you'd be pretty much unbeatable

Think of how many overkills Tashi could get if he was "MLG Tashi". Oh wait, it would still be 0.

 

[Aggrotek]

Or 420 in leu of the 69. Also adding variants including BXR, BR, iTz, ect. improve skill exponentially.

 

[NobleGundam]

Or your GT description says "Get On Ma Level!" Derp

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Yeah, my favorite level in Reach was probably Sword Base because of how large it was with beautiful rolling hills and multiple paths.

ODST: Kikowani Station.

Halo 3: The Covenant

Halo 2: Delta Halo/Regret is probably my favorite level, although infiltrating the Covenant's turf was pretty awesome as well.

Halo 1: Two Betrayals, hands down. Awesome awesome level. (Pillar of Autumn is a classic of course)

Reach: Exodus
ODST: NMPD HQ
Halo 3: The Covenant
Halo 2: Outskirts+New Mombasa
Halo CE/A: Assault on the Control Room

Guess HaloGAF hates my choices.

Brb changing my xbl tag to.

[Shadders]

I hate this guy.

I filed a report on one of his articles on N4G the other day because he'd just paraphrased a THC article. Either he or a mod adjusted the story to redirect to THC.

Most epic GT confirmed.

TRIPLE KILL +20

Edit:

Reach: Exodus
ODST: NMPD HQ
Halo 3: The Covenant
Halo 2: Outskirts+New Mombasa
Halo CE/A: Assault on the Control Room

Guess HaloGAF hates my choices.

You liked Exodus? Every time, when I replay the campaign, I try to avoid this mission.
I agree with the others, though. Would only add to Halo 3 "The Ark".

Every time someone at 343i talks about the light rifle they say it's a 3 shot burst weapon with a 1-shot zoom capability - but this clearly isn't the case. Have they made the decision to change the light rifle, but it came too late for the E3 build?

I'd take another look at it. I'm fairly certain it was this way in the E3 Gamespot demo.

Have they said what the unique Limited skins would look like for Halo 4?

Pretty sure it is a 3 shot unscoped 1 shot scoped but the 3 shots just first really fast if you watch the e3 video you can see the trails of multiple shots when unscoped.

 

[TheOddOne]

My moment of shame today:



I go +25 and had three accidental suicides. Smh could have gotten a perfection.

Also Asphalt BTB has terrible spawns.

L.E. preorder skins?

Does not count. It is btb heavy.

In one of the demos shown during E3, one of the 343i employees showed off the Light Rifle and demonstrated its capabilities. It did have a 3-shot burst with a single shot while zoomed in. Maybe you're confusing the Scattershot with the Light Rifle?

Wut. I got me a perfection in that thingy majig mode before.

If you watch closely, you will see that only shot is missing after each shot. Still, it does look like a burst and it sounds like it. Not sure, but maybe it's a bug or it's intended, that only one bullet is missing after shooting.

 

[Nando13]

343 guys. Will we see a L.E. unboxing before release date?

 

[Zeouterlimits]

? Of course we will. It's still over 3 months away.

GG all, partly thanks to Myyke playing, I reached this many yoinks in MM.

Although, thought I had way more in MM.

 

[Seance]

So, there are still AA's yet to be seen right? We've got a few weapons, vehicles , maps, and AAs?

 

[Bregmann Roche]

.

This gives me great hope for the future of Bumper Jumper.

Everyone who is debating how Halo 4 Bumper Jumper should work: please go pick up an xbox controller and use your right hand to press the right d-pad button. This should be where "switch grenades" lives. X and A should be where AA and Sprint live. Y switches weapons and B activates/skyjacks/reloads etc.

With the reduced presence of grenades in MP switching grenades will be used MUCH less than something like melee or crouch.

 

[Homeboyd]

So, there are still AA's yet to be seen right? We've got a few weapons, vehicles , maps, and AAs?

Regen and the auto sentry right?

And yeah, 1 or 2 more weapons we haven't seen at all, 7 more MP maps (and 2 more forge environments) and 2 new vehicles.

Yes, I remember something like Regeneration Field as an AA. Also we dont know if they will include jetpack in Matchmaking.

 

[Poker Face]

im hoping they were cut, at least auto-sentry.

Was thinking about this the other night. I completely agree bumper jumper should remain the same as far as the shoulder and bumper buttons go. X should be sprint as that works great in Reach and AA should be on the A button. Switch grenades would have to be on the D-pad. I know that is used for ordinance but aren't there only three choices? This should still leave one directional for switch grenades.

Please make it happen 343! Halo 4 will never feel right without the classic bumper jumper.

I'd rather have the sentry than the regen.

Yeah, they still haven't revealed the new animation for Armor Lock.

Regen probably will be like a bubble shield that affects enemies and allies (Just an opinion).

 

[Homeboyd]

I wonder, did the "10 new weapons" mean 10 new from Reach to 4, or 10 new to the series? I'm guessing based off what we've seen, they're new to the series (which also means new since Reach), but if it means new to the series, then we could expect a lot of old favorites as well (outside of the BR).

For those who have been counting, did you include the BR in that list or only first time appearance weapons?
