Where are people seeing the Sniper gameplay? Can anyone link me? EDIT: Found it.
Not a fan of the UI, I think it looks pretty but is a step back in terms of conveying useful information. If the games good and I play it a bunch I want the UI to make my job of getting around easier, not harder.
As for the forge reveal, im actually kind of sad forge wasn't just cut, I hate forge maps in matchmaking.
So I guess I dont really care that they didn't seem to devote many resources to overhauling it. The new dynamic lighting stuff looks great and the new features are ok, but overall its pretty much just forge again.

Haha, it's fine. But I won't forget this.
Haha, no worries. We may be able to get enough for two lobbies. Not sure. You guys need people later, we can hop in
Nice! Franklinator and I are on Team Objective if you want to play.

Just caught up on all the Forge stuff and I've got to say it is looking pretty nice at the moment. Im glad that the map doesn't seem as big as Forgeworld since that map has so much wasted space when ever you build a map on it. Hopefully the other forge maps have different themes and colors to them. The dynamic lighting looks amazing although I hope like hell it wont cause any framerate issues. The magnet tool pretty sweet for new forgers I never had any real issues with lining up my objects but it should make things easier. Overall it looks pretty sweet.

The new UI immediately reminded me of GT5, that's not a good thing since GT5's menus were a clusterf***. I'm praying usability is good.
Anyone ever make Spherical Planet Panoramas in Reach?
Like, for example this Skyrim one:
I imagine it might be difficult to stitch with Reach's HDR system automatically controlling the exposure.
I'm probably going to have to do a lot of editing in curves...
This one is cool too:

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm speaking strictly about large icons instead of simple text and small images. I guess I'd just prefer simplicity, that's all.

Whoever is complaining about the H4 UI doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about. It's great; a natural evolution of what's come before.
What do you know?! You haven't played...oh wait

I was thinking the same thing, although it does kind of remind me of Halo 1's multiplayer UI. e.g. When you are selecting the gametypes.
I have to turn my head sideways to read the names of who's in my party. Your argument is irrelevant.

It's really going to come down to functionality and ease of use. Something that of course, we will have to use to test.

Halo 4 UI just looks too much like Xbox Dashboard, which sucks. (Well, Xbox dashboards have sucked since day one, IMO. Blades dashboard was cool but it wasn't really good. And dear lord how slow the Guide was back then... it is still too slow)
The previous iteration of Xbox Dashboard was better than this current POS. A bit.
So, hopefully it works just fine, it doesn't look like it works fine. It looks good but looking good doesn't equal working well.
And did i just cram this text full of tautologies?
I didn't need to turn my head to read the names of the players in that picture. You might want to get your eyes checked.

great games everyone. MLG is truly the best way to play Reach
I hear you on this but I would add a caveat. If forge in Reach (let alone forge in H4) had no framerate issues and you could literally build whatever you want, allowing for budget and object count restraints, the maps you could forge would be so much better and more diverse. Yes, even with all the gray. You could use more objects; you could use aesthetic objects and things with lights on them; you could use COLORED FRIGGIN' LIGHTS. I've made a couple of beautiful maps that I had to abandon due to unsuitable framerate, and I've seen maps from others that were nearly as pretty as on-disc, non-forged maps. But you'll never see a map like that in Reach matchmaking because of performance. It sucks.
So here's to hoping that 343 has somehow fixed that damn framerate nightmare. That, along with a couple of new palettes (and maybe some other unrevealed surprises) would go a long way to making forge maps more tolerable, and not just a repetitive series of coliseum wall boxes with a few ramps and 2x4 blocks in them.
