Honestly I'd rather have better looking textures than a high framerate.

Easy bake or full size?
You know it will. Only real question is how far will it drop? I can tolerate 1-5 frames at most.
What is the sniper supposed to sound like? It just sounds loud, with no real identity. Could be my laptop speakers though.
I know you're being sarcastic, but still. Locked 30 FPS/good graphics over 60 FPS/shitty graphics anyday, for me at least. Call of Duty looks like ass.
Ah, wasn't sure.
It's supposed to sound like Zues' Lightning Bolt's Thunder, mixed with Hellfire.
i think i just identified what a zoojoo is.
What exactly do Halo weapons sound like? Covenant weapons have certain audio flares to them that make them identifiable, but I don't really think of human weapons as having any unique qualities to their sounds. They just sound like guns.
Gabotron lost his testicles, and it looks like you're going to lose your head.

Lol, this was great Karl.

Praying that Halo 4 has individual volume sliders. A game of Reach can sometimes be a game of loud-ass PING PING PING back and forth for the whole game, especially in MLG, and the other options, (split game vol and voice vol; reduced game vol when a friend speaks) does nothing to remedy the problem of the loud ass DMR.
P.S I may be over-exaggerating how powerful it sounds, but it is a little overdone.

Textures. You guys are such jokers. Halo has a vastly more rich physical simulation than Call of Duty. I would wager that is the reason it cant render at the rates those games do.
In my opinion, the audio design thus far has been heavily guided by clarity, uniqueness, and ease of distinction. I'm sure they also tried to make the guns sound badass, but this wasn't the primary goal.
Old standbys like the Sniper, Rocket and even the multiple versions of the Pistol all have their own specific sound effects that carry over from each Halo game. Sometimes they're punchier but they still retain their unique sounds. Everything I've heard from Halo 4 sounds like generic gunfire sound effects that could easily come from other shooters like CoD.
How about campaign stays 30 fps with good graphics and MP at 60fps with shitty graphics.
Deal?

I wish next-next gen would hurry up, so then nothing would have to be sacrificed to create a pretty game that ran well.

Bioshock did it...
Look, all you nerds can just go print up some of the concept sketches 343 releases later that look all detailed and beautiful and blow all over that and then take a picture and email that to the artists. I want my video game to move really fast. Because I play that shit all day, I don't stare at it like its a piece of art.

Wut? :/
How can it look so much faster and crisper and not be?
There is always sacrifices, no matter how great the hardware is. You'll run into the same problem, there will always be a balance of textures and rendering and how it affects performance.
Until they decide things can look even prettier and we're back at
This dude gets it.
I'd be down if it was an option.
Although I don't know how well it would work. Bioshock looks terrible at 30 and 60 FPS.
I doubt it'll actually happen, but 30 locked FPS minimum should be the standard next gen.

I want both.
So, trying to get into shape. But I want to play Halo also. Solution?
Every kill in slayer is a push up. Every kill in objective donging is a situp.

To be fair, Bioshock was a corridor shooter.
Fuck, i had this same idea, except w/ pushups. Tier 1 is screwed. ;-)
please be a troll. Noone is that stupid. All Halo Assets belong to Microsoft, and by extension, 343. So it's quite the opposite.
Troll? No. The guy is just an idiot. Not you.

I'd imagine there are some things they are allowed to use and somethings that might be unavailable but that's a company to company thing. Sides isn't all that shit still property of MS?
That's my thinking.

I thought BS just removed locked framerate so you get the high framerate spikes, when shit hit the fan it was sub 30fps still.

Yeah they can use anything they want, MS owns everything Halo.

Yeah far as I know MS can and will keep running with Halo whether Bungie would like them to or not. Hence 343. I imagine though that bungie people who wanted to continue with Halo moved over.
Well he's alone and it's quiet. I would imagine in a full game with players shooting and talking and grenades exploding it would tougher to hear. It could be louder than previous Halo games though, I don't know.

What the fuck? After a comment like that I'm convinced that you sir have no taste.
We all put up with a lot of bad opinions in HaloGAF, but this is one that I cannot respect.
Damn.

If there was one thing I recall from the build I saw it was that you could really hear the weight of the spartans.

IIRC Bungie openly admitted that they weren't using the 360s multicore tech efficiently. So I pray 343 rectified this, then the frame rate issues should be gone.
Art style is awesome, don't get me wrong. I like looking at things. Just not up close. The textures are pretty bad.

Seriously.
Bioshock is a visual treat.
The game is 5 years old, of course the textures aren't up to today's standards. Doesn't mean the game doesn't still look great though.
WTF is up with that laser? The sound and the scope... I'm sure I'll warm up to it. The Sniper doesn't sound like a thunder crack... More of a demonic mouse.
But holy mother does he swap weapons fast!
I had it... The aiming felt off and the bumpers/triggers felt weird too. The ABXY buttons were pretty nice though.
