Of course. No one is taking things that far, it was just something somewhat "unique" to Halo. It would be cool if it was still in.

Didn't they say they fixed it?
Oh, I must have missed that.

Youre now the second person to say that. Where did they mention it though? :/

No. It is a defensive ability.

Bandwidth hog.
Anyone have any idea when that Tritton Halo 4 headset is coming out?
I need to invest in a new pair before Halo 4 launch and I would love to purchase them.
But I'd highly prefer having my headset for midnight launch, hope they come out a bit before.
Edit: oh jk thanks gameinformer!
"The gaming headsets are expected to ship shortly before the 2012 holiday season."

Weird question:
Does anyone know a way to clean the fabric on the ears of A40s? I might want to sell mine, and I'd like 'em to look like new if I do.

Best way is to replace them, I would if I was buying them used. You will want to take them off and wash them by hand with a washcloth or something. Its kind of a pain.
Mister Negative

Didn't even know you could replace/take them off. I remember seeing A40s with leather earcups places but I never thought much of it.

Do we know if the Light Rifle is a primary/secondary weapon? Ordnance?
It looks beast.

It's a mix of a DMR and a BR essentially. All signs point to it being a primary.
Did we already see it in War Games? Wanted also to know if we can put it in our loudouts.

I was wondering that myself earlier watching that Gamespot video. It seems like it functions similarly to a BR with the three round burst, so I assume starting weapon, but maybe it'll fill the role of the carbine like in previous games and just be on the map.
Edit: sweet, thanks Cyren.

It was extremely weird. I honestly didn't know where it was for the first coupl game, and felt too foolish to ask.
rowr...
yes, I got a bag. Got the cool poster, some minifigs, a shirt that I'll most likely never wear out of the house, and something else that I can't remember. The bag itself is very cool.
The second one is an aikido move, one that I learned how to use as a finisher after breaking out of a headlock. The force of their spine hitting your knee will usually snap it, or at the very least stun them long enough to drive your elbow into their sternum (breaking it) or exposed throat (killing them). Good stuff.
Well the Scattershot is a Promethean weapon, and it appears to be a "buffed up" version of the human shotgun in term of functionality.
If that continues to be the trend with Promethean weapons, we could assume that the Light Rifle is a "buffed up" version of the DMR/BR/Carbine so it would be an ordnance drop.
I also believe it's a 3 round burst from the hip and a single shot when zoomed in.

Speaking of shotguns, are we still operating under the assumption that they're going to be starting weapons?

3 Round Burst? Its 1 per shot. And yes 1 Shot Scoped.
Mister Negative
Member
Nope, three round burst.
No. 3 from hip. 1 while scoped.
ASSaSSiNAtion look good.
Slower gifs.
just saw them, I really like the helmet of the red one.
So Friday next info blowout? FUD Trailer? Spartan Ops footage? this thread will explode
We don't know. They definitely were in the closed beta, but there's any number of reasons they might want to do that in the beta but not in the final product.

Well shit. That's pretty OP, IMO. What's your say? And sorry for that mistake, didn't know it was changed, right?
Mister Negative
Member
Nope, it's always been like that,
How it seems to work is that it has a certain number of rounds displayed in the ammo counter, but each of those rounds gets split into three when fired from the hip, and is fired as one when scoped in.
so as someone already said, it seems to operate as both a BR and a DMR. It combines the midrange capabilities of the BR with the long range precision of the DMR when you're scoped in.

I played those two levels recently – and by recently I mean back in May – and I have a hard time agreeing with your statement. When you say it's one of the best missions in the series, you're putting it on the same level as The Silent Cartographer, The Ark, The Covenant, The Storm, AotCR.
The location is interesting, but neither level rises above itself like those previously mentioned. The Arbiter's interior combat is a step up above most of Halo 1's corridor combat (like PoA), but it's not even the best interior combat in the game, nor does it come close to Halo 3's.
And The Oracle is just backtracking of The Arbiter with Flood...ew.
I noticed this too, and one other instance specifically. I'm trying not to pay attention to it too much because 343 could still be making tweaks, but as it is this is very, very worrying.
Reach's health system for vehicles is one of the reasons why BTB is subpar. There's a guessing game to it, and even if your HUD displayed the health of the vehicle, there's this versatility that's lost by giving the vehicle its own health. From Halo 1-3, the only thing that mattered was player health. It's something absolutely knowable to the player, and because it's you, it's consistent across every vehicle; streamlined. There's less to worry about. Vehicles having their own health are more grounded and less accommodating to a player's actions.

Just put up THC's top 5. I hope you guys like it
Took like 2 weeks to get this one out after the clips were picked.
Watching Jazzy's video I've noticed I don't get more deaths than my team but I get less kills. In fact, I'm pretty good at staying alive.
Feel the love
Btw, is ImmenseChalice1 a lurker or something? If you send me FR's, let me know you're from GAF so I can feel happier when I decline

I remember I joined after seeing a big article on it in either Game Informer or some other video game magazine.
Need to fix the Zero grav on Zealot.

I think I joined during my first year in uni. Zeouterlimits pointed me here.

I think I joined because of Morello. At least, I think that's how I became aware of GAF, I remember submitting my request for membership while I was still in high school...Then I wasn't approved 'til after I had graduated and didn't have access to that email address anymore, so I then had to wait an extra six months to get my new one approved.
I never lurked very consistently, I think I was lurking a little back when Oonsk was a thing.
