I hate working in the evening and missing all the cool stuff.
Would single-handedly kill Halo 4.
Haha, as if all the other stuff didn't.
trololol
But seriously.
Halo mods are the best.

Something that I didn't see pointed out before from those "walkthrough" Haven videos is that your reticle actually turns red on holograms. That wasn't in Reach right? I'm not totally sure because no one uses that armor ability, ever.
That also sounds pretty tight. The only problem that I can see possibly arising from that is perhaps the game can result in a tie a tad too often. (Just say the game ends up being 16-16). IMO something needs to be changed if ties occur more than even 1% of the time. But this is where I ask you: how often did you experience ties? Or was there a feature in the game that dealt with ties somehow?
The only times when there would be a tie in a stopwatch gametype would be when both teams cap in the exact same time (down to a fraction of a second) and also in the scenario when both teams fail to cap. The former is extremely rare from my experience playing RTCW, and the latter can be easily avoided by making it harder defend (possibly done by increasing the time of the rounds or altering the weapon spawns).
Oh, and I wholeheartedly agree that a two-round set up is the way to go.

They happen, but certainly dramatically less than in the four round setup that they currently have in matchmaking.
If you want that controller, it doesn't come with the console either :/
If you want to have everything you need to buy the Xbox bundle, the extra controller (3 controllers total) and the limited edition game.
If only the bundle had one of each type of controller and the limited edition

I really wish they had wired options for these controllers. I'm gonna have to mod one to wired and its going to be a pain in the ass.
I know old, but I might actually prefer this one to the other one.
This one looks much better. I'm in need of a new controller, so I'll probably pick this up if it's available in my region.

Get rid of the "Halo 4" on the bottom and I'll buy one.

Amazing timing too, my controller's right stick is so wonky.

Shopto have the console and controller up for pre-order.
Although, they have got the wrong picture for the controller on the site.
My controller at the moment, left stick drifts amazingly, LB squeaks, and best of all, the right trigger sometimes acts up, therefore when I'm shooting with the sniper, sometimes, it will do 2 rapid shots instead of one.
I love that controller.

Jump to the back of the waiting for videos queue. You are 9756th in line.
Yeah. Saw the Hypertrooper pic and it looks good, almost like that chrome paint which changes depending on the light.

I have problems like that, but the right stick is literally broken. I'll be playing and it will be just fine one moment and then the next it doesn't let me turn right. You can probably see how this would be a problem.
I just wake up and I didnt see it in the Halo Council.
Had to attend to guests, so i'm a little late, but hey, screw it.
You guys need to buy tripods, and stop recording on spoons.
Nice.
Also, ugh at that pistol.gif
Looks so bad... Tell me again why i shouldn't choose to start with the plasma pistol, it at least offers some utility in form of EMP.

We have had plenty of videos! That epic video taken in a barn, (with an awesome soundtrack), Halo4Followers round up of the GameInformer stuff and now an offscreen video of 2 assassinations. Some would say we are being spoiled for information! Im really hoping for an assassination montage before the game comes out, that will really hype me up for the gameplay!
Besides the games probably in a really unfinished state right now, they probably don't even know what's in the limited edition of the game themselves, how are they supposed to tell us that stuff.
...Im mostly just being a dick, I suppose they did throw us a bone with all those MLG videos, but why do they insist on showing such a small subsection of the sandbox? It feels like they are just showing us the more passive stuff. A single Jetpack would have totally changed the flow of those matches. The lack of information and the very careful way they show us subsections of the game does have me slightly worried.

This is one of the very first things we knew about Haven, before we even had images. In one of the bulletins.

Have you NOT been reading the thread?
I thought he was talking about how the player isn't knocked out of scope when shot.
Cyren, I put those walkthrough videos up on Waypoint. I'll watch them later. I haven't had much time to catch up on the thread for the past couple of days.
I would LOVE to have that Silentium/Thursday War poster, Biggy, or one of those signed posters of Jen Taylor and Steven Downes. (But wouldn't we all?)
Glad you guys had a good time, Domino, Biggy, and monkey!
It's still the same build

In regards to flag carrying, I just wanted the movement speed to stay normalized while holding it. Just from what I gathered from it, whipping out a pistol the moment you have a flag seems clumsy. Any word on player speed while holding?

Limited Edition Halo 4 360 comes with Standard Edition Halo 4. I want Limited Edition Halo 4. I also want Limited edition H4 360.
Don't make me choose.

Iv decided to get everything. Console Extra UNSC controller and limited edition. Still up in the air about the headset ill wait for a price
I know old, but I might actually prefer this one to the other one.
Wait. So can you just buy this outright? I'm not fond of buying a new console near the end of its lifespan, so perhaps I'll just get the controller instead.
Yep, no pre-order up on amazon yet though. They do have the other one up on Gamestop though.
edit: It says October 9th, not sure if we had a release date yet on the controllers.
Dude, it's not that bad. We've seen much much worse from the gaming press.

What, GameCube style? That sounds interesting which 360 controller has that?

Which controller ever had ringed grips? This is a reskin of the new D-Pad controller, which also has different sticks that are present on this controller.
The Chrome editions? They looked it when I had a glance in store.

Nope.
On a side note.

Yep, you're right. Saw a user picture of the Chrome editions unboxed.
I'm shamefully surprised we have bullshots for controllers now.
