Oh man I want that figure.

 

[Vire]

Going from being able to see who's online and what they're playing all the time to having to bring up an extra menu to see it is not exactly an improvement.

When you turn 14 next year, you'll look back at how ridiculous you are being now and laugh.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Video look at the Halo Anniversary Sideshow statue.

Jesus does it look good. I need it.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

How much is that figure...

 

[Gui_PT]

lol epic win

I think you have to personally attack Hydra and Frankie now to be complete from what I've seen.

There's just...grey...everywhere...

Haha yeah the really cool thing is h..HNNGGGGGG..

...How do I spend my money on this!?

 

[Hypertrooper]

Sideshow + Halo = Amazing!

I am so getting this. I AM SO GETTING THIS!

Haha yeah the really cool thing is h..HNNGGGGGG..

...How do I spend my money on this!?

Do you really want to know? Expect about $300.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

I'm still waiting for someone to make a working assault rifle/battle rifle. Now that would be sweet.

That's a damn good figure...

My girlfriend would make fun of me though if I got something like that. :/

 

[Gui_PT]

Yeah I saw the Duke Nukem one was priced at around 300 dollars so the price will be close to that

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

You have a girlfriend, so it shouldn't matter. My issue would be where I put the thing to actually get one.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Sideshow usually has exclusive limited run editions of their statues that come with a different accessory.. I wonder what this one will have.

That's a damn good figure...

My girlfriend would make fun of me though if I got something like that. :/

Whaaa..? Get it anyways. Hell, my girlfriend bought me the Weta MC vs Flood statue for my birthday, so you should have her buy it!

I'm 13 because I think one UI element is better than the other? Okay.

 

[Tashi]

Hey 343 when do the life size Cortana pillows come out?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Hey 343 when do the life size Cortana pillows come out?

I WILL NOT...ALLOW YOU...TO LEAVE THIS BEDROOM.

Spoiler

This is a bad idea

 

[squidhands]

Controls feel great

Kills are satisfying

AA's don't ruin the game flow

Very fast and fluid gameplay

Now you're just stealing my analysis, jerk.

 

[Buddermilk]

Anyone stop to think some of UI changes are being made to accomodate Smartglass, and/or this new XBL Tournament app we heard about?

 

[squidhands]

Tashi...

...you might wanna wait on the Halogaf Radio until after Comicon. If the builds are the same, it might be best to get several opinions/playstyles going (esp. from biggy, since it'll be his second time playing the same thing), rather than just a couple.

Just my two cents.

Lemme know what you decide.

 

[NobleGundam]

Thanks Frankie for clarifying the HaloGAF ban subject and pm. :3

buy a FAMAS?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Playarts+ Halo 4

 

[Booties]

Yeah that post was pretty retarded

 

[Hypertrooper]

Playarts+ Halo 4

Damn that Halo 4 Master Chief! That will be mine.

Edit.: I hope it comes with a Battle Rifle.

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

So how many proper BTS videos do we need now?

Multiplayer
Forge
Spartan Ops
UI design

Spoiler

Theater?

Not complaining, I just want to see this stuff

 

[Vire]

There's things to get incensed about and then there's pressing one button. The act you put on complaining about every little thing gets old fast.

 

[The Henery]

Couldn't really give a shit about the menu's UI so long as they're adequately functional. What people should really be up in arms about is the fact that active camo at the press of a button is back. It's the ability that is the hardest to make sense as an AA and it has been conspicuously absent from the public eye... Waiting for miracles in its Halo 4 incarnation.

I came.

 

[Gabotron ES]

There's things to get incensed about and then there's pressing one button. The act you put on complaining about every little thing gets old fast.

But he's right, the button thing is a step back imo. Maybe he complains because he cares, uh?

 

[Booties]

Why accept a downgrade while getting no added functionality? His complaint is valid. I get pretty annoyed by it a lot.

Haha I couldnt afford it anyway so it's probably a blessing in disguise.

This is what we call the 20 minute got to play it before everyone else impression.

 

[BigShow36]

This is what we call the 20 minute got to play it before everyone else impression.

Kills and movement look pretty slow from what I've seen.

"Teamshot or Die 4", here we come.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

"Teamshot or Die 4", here we come.

Serious? Huh, the game looks way faster than Reach to me. That's what has me excited the most. Love sprint.

 

[Poker Face]

Kills and movement look pretty slow from what I've seen.

yes. why not bring back halo 2/ce movement speed along with kill times? i dont understand how pushing x to spawn makes the game feel faster when kills take so long

 

[heckfu]

"Teamshot or Die 4", here we come.

Pretty slow compared to what? It looks fast to me and from every gaf impression so far they all say it's fast.

 

[Zoso Achilles]

MLG = Ice Skating Rink

Supah Slayer = Tolerable Bloom Status

I think MLG is the only place I can actually get away from those ridiculous grenades. They're magnetized to me in super slayer.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Serious? Huh, the game looks way faster than Reach to me. That's what has me excited the most. Love sprint.

Faster than Reach doesn't really mean much.

This, many times this.

UI is small stuff.

 

[Homeboyd]

You guys. Persistent sons of bitches.

Enjoy catching up on my lunch breaks...

 

[Franklinator]

This, many times this.

Maybe we'll get lucky and they have just decided to remove invisibility or something.

 

[Gui_PT]

Looks like his butt is on the front.

Just saw that right before you posted, will keep an eye on it. Clicked on Biggy's link to a CEA score bit. Why is it so much worse than the original!?

/random complaints for complaining sake

 

[Tunavi]

"Teamshot or Die 4", here we come.

you're kidding, right?

 

[Overdoziz]

You'll be using active roster nearly every time you play. I don't see how complaining about them taking a step backwards in the UI of this feature is crazy.

 

[789shadow]

Making things up: it's pretty obvious when you do it.

 

[The Henery]

Maybe we'll get lucky and they have just decided to remove invisibility or something.

That would be the best scenario.

Question: We know there's overshield, speed boost and damage boost in the form of personal ordnance in Infinity Slayer but do we know how these power-ups will be distributed in the 'random' ordnance drop gametype? Will they appear on the UI like the power weapons and spawn in fixed but random locations or will they be more traditionally placed?

We were actually discussing this while playing the other night. We were focused on the lack of jetpack footage in MP so far. We basically all agreed that when jetpacking you should be unable to shoot. Sure you can get places fast, but have fun being picked off when you fly into someones line of sight.

 

[wwm0nkey]

This is what we call the 20 minute got to play it before everyone else impression.

I'm on a phone at a con, it won't be very detailed.

Also about the UI, it does look pretty but it works great.

 

[L1NETT]

Say whaaat?

Most of the people who have played it say it is pretty quick.

 

[Steelyuhas]

People have different views of what "slow" is. Imagine that!

To Bigshow it looks slow, to you, perhaps not.

That would be the best scenario.

Good question. It's possible they won't be there (like Reach has no power ups), or they may be ordnance drops that show up on the HUD like Rockets and Sniper.
