Yep. M83 and i'll be satisfied.
While we're on the subject of remix albums, Tron: R3C0NF1GUR3D was a really great example of taking a lot of different electronic artists and letting them loose on a soundtrack.
We get a video from 343i including a brand new UNSC weapon, alongside a ton of new information, and we're focusing on the weapon that has a total of seven frames.
wat
I'll give u4ix, you, and THC credit, though. You guys are on top of everything. Infinitely (Enfinitly?) better than Greenskull/RUL or that bum Halo4Follohurr. HC hasn't been around and isn't as established as other Halo communities, however it's the premier source of information and breaking news. For me, anyways.
I can imagine Frankie sitting there going "Those goddamn GAF losers nabbed the Promethean Pistol clip before we pulled it. FUCK."

That is a great bulletin, now here's my random thoughts on some stuff in it.
-DMR 14 rounds in a clip? Is this really so no precision weapon has 3 kills per clip? :/ Still looks like my go to rifle though from what we've seen.
-About the Magnum, the 8 shots confirmed is disappointing, but we already knew this. As long as they are dedicated to making it a "side arm" though, this is pretty awesome: "we have drastically sped up animation times when using a pistol. So you will be able to switch to it quicker, pull off melees and grenade throws faster, etc. than you will with primary weapons."
-Shotgun: Looks great in action. "It actually has a lot longer range now, less damage falloff, and is quite a bit more powerful than say the Reach version overall, but some of that dialed up power is countered by the other changes in the game like Sprint by default, mobility-based Armor Abilities, and generally faster movement speeds." Good changes to keep the weapon useful. Reach shotgun, which is still the best one since CE, is pretty mediocre on TU settings.
-SAW: Looks cool as an ordnance weapon. Should be a nice addition.
-Sniper: Aesthetics are a significant improvement over the one we've seen so far.
-Railgun looks awesome.
-Nothing will convince me that the Laser isn't garbage.
-Overall, looks like a very good UNSC portion of the sandbox, hopefully we hear about the other two sandboxes in the coming weeks.
-CC Statement: "We'll be working with community cartographers in the run up to launch to create maps for File Shares from day one - giving them somewhat early access to iterate and build game modes and maps that are familiar and original in equal measure." I know this is jumping the gun and generally being insane, but I can't hide the fact the reading this statement worries me. Please keep Forge out of core playlists.
-Overall, excellent write-up by Frank. An enjoyable read, and damn I wish I could write like that. Lots of sluuuurrp though.
-August MM update: Mixed bag here. Good elimination of 5 lists that are already dead, but they didn't fix the main issue with Reach MM. They appear to be sticking to their guns of keeping vanilla alive, which I think is a mistake, but at least they made a clear separation of the two. There is still 3 4v4 slayer playlists though, which is just silly.

I don't own "blind" and the bar is above the barrel.

Judging from the videos, the game looks much cleaner and crisper than the E3 build I kept playing. The DMR also got a slight audio improvement, too.
That was a great album. A lot of diversity and talent went into that remix collection. And it was great to see Daft Punk in a new light.
edit: and this. word for word, deserves repeating.

Why would you say that?
You didn't get knocked out in the E3 build, and there have been no suggestions that they changed it. I would say that it's likely that you don't get knocked out.

Welp, hype hype hype.
That was pretty awesome.

Personally, the Tron soundtrack isn't Daft's best, but it was certainly awesome to hear a new sound from them.

The Prommy pistol in that .gif looks a like like it would function like a mauler.

Granted it's not their best effort; but it's hard to find anyone who creates their absolute best music when bootstrapped into the confines of a movie soundtrack. Trent Reznor can't do it, Jonsi can't do it, can't blame Daft Punk for not doing it either. Ultimately it's a superb partner to the movie.
That would be awesome. Am I the only one who actually misses the mauler? Loved that gun.
I would bet that even in this official youtube vid the sound is still altered/compressed/whatever and will sound beefier when played over a soundsystem or headphones. I mean we all game with headphones now. Right?

The human weapons all sound fairly similar, as if they all contain the same base sound effect. They have a higher-pitched thwap sound, if that makes any sense at all.
I wonder if it's intentional on the part of the developers. Based on this admittedly short snippet of gameplay, the human weapons lack the sound variation found in past entries in the series. Kind of strange.

I guess you never heard Call Me Maybe.
Making the weapons take up a whole bunch of space is how Halo reaches its silky smooth 24 fps.

Question for Frankie and David,
How far are these current builds from the Final Build and/or are there plenty of tweaking, polishing to be done still before the first stages of the final build?
Excellent Bulletin and Gameplay Videos, Btw.
Just Wow. So Good.

Halo 4 can't come fast enough.
Halo 3 Ranked MM is terrible, I'm raging over how shitty the gametypes are while playing this.
I want Halo 4 Classic Ranked to start with BRs. AND NO FFA ODDBALL
Edit: And the new footage is nice I guess
Reach has much better gametypes all around. (sans Objective. 9 types of Flag FTW!) But a plethora of low-quality playlsts.

You have no idea how rage inducing and crappy Halo 3 matchmaking is when you throw in playing by yourself, ranks, and the most idiotic gametype choices conceived.

I still prefer the shortened Prom.
Prom Pistol
Prom Grenade
Prom Knight (favorite!)
You could be playing Oddball on Swordbase. Or Hot Potato on ANYTHING.
Bad game? Plz. Halo in all its iterations has never EVER been a bad game. Sure, theres been things here and there that havn't lived up to expectations, but every Halo is loaded with features that satisfy.
I was kinda leaning towards that guess as well, but there are quite a lot of rounds for it to be a mini shotty.

You mean that bar that is WAY behind the barrel?

Terrible.
Also, based off the descriptions in the update, sounds like the DMR is OP.
"If we show too much of the screen it will make noscopes too easy to do so new people will be scared and die a lot" - literally nobody on the entire planet has ever thought this
FUCK THE WHALES, SAVE THE FOV
That bar is behind the barrel. Is your depth perception okay man?

no no one reads my posts I guess my problem is the bar covers th TIP of the gun not the barrel... it was in 3 I hated it then... Reach's sniper 4 lef.
Is it worse than MW3?

This is true. I have sticked with GameInformer to be a trusted, unbiased video magazine for all my reviews. And Every Halo game has gotten good to great ratings.
Halo 1/PC - 9.0 (Gold)
Halo:CEA - 8.5 (Silver)
Halo 2/Vista - 9.5 (Gold)
Halo 3 - 10.0 (Platinum)
Halo Wars - 9.5 (Gold)
Halo 3 ODST - 9.5 (Gold)
Halo Reach - 9.5 (Gold)
And Halo 4 is straight out 10.0 Platinum, IMO.

You okay bro? You were doing some mad raging on Zealot.
No, you can't be worse than a game in which everything it tries to do is shit, and fails at all of them.

Apparently the tip of the gun is the middle now.
That is all that is really missing to be honest. Not many people on HaloGaf are realizing the importance of the system and how it can make gameplay much more enjoyable. I know that some of you guys have given up and taken the idea that we can live without a ranking system, but why the hell should we have to suffer because some 14 yr olds figured out how to cheat. Every game will have its cheaters... just use the banhammer on them 343, it works very well.
Wat.
