It was Oddball on Citadal which apparently has 2 Bubble Shield spawns.
So much for trying to get a 50 in Lone Wolves. That playlist is full of terrible gametypes. Why there is AR starts (let alone 90% of the time) in a ranked playlist is beyond me.
Hey you, watcha gonna do?
from high quality vid
was hoping they were different.
EDIT: strangely the second looks longer.
I think the top one is tipped away from camera a bit, making it appear shorter.

Much like the outsourcing of Forge to Certain Affinity, couldn't 343 simply outsource Halo 4's online stat tracking and web interface to Bungie? I'm serious. In the event this scenario does not occur then Waypoint has to undergo a MASSIVE reinvention for the launch of Halo 4. I'm talking stripping it completely bare and starting again. I'm also curious to see how 343 will thread the interaction between Waypoint and Halo 4 in game so you don't have to leave ala Reach. I'm expecting a more seamless hopping between the two.

Theres a reason the ranked system worked so well. People love the challenge of a game. People like to play people LOVE to win. If they continually beat players below them they wont find the game entertaining anymore think of it as childs play and turn it off. If they lose too much then they dont get that endorphin boost in their brain and the easiest way to beat that it is to cheat and simply turn the game off. The people who win too much though in Halo, can go on to play MLG (brilliant) and that will hopefully can keep them playing for a long time.
So what you want is a ranking system where the majority of players are ranked somewhere in the system where they can get decent matches. Then have something the top players can do after they have reached a decent Mastery level.
You also want instant feedback, without it theres no motivation to play the game. People dont want to pre-order crack for next weekend. They want to buy it and use it right then.
Its about creating a flow where people decide the game is fun and they want to continue playing.
The 1-50 rank was so succesful and fulfilled every aspect that a game needs to be fun.

was just typing a question into google docs (will we see "classic" playlists again? as in gametypes without armor abilities, just good old fashioned halo 1/2/3 play?) and the entire document keeps getting erased. forget it..

I've come to terms with no ranking system. I just want some credits that do something besides buy shitty, barebones armor pieces.

decided to take some more snapshots from the press video
(i linked before the google doc massacre)
nice emblem on shoulder, plus UNSC designation, icon on chest appeared on multiple players, not sure if reflective of "rank" or just embellishment
edit out promo pistol, to many other peoples pics of it
Potentially new AA design on back of spartan
SAW digital ammo counter, very cool
Thought might have been "Deadeye" helmet
Armor Pattern "pop"

Oddball Snowbound. A bubble shield spawns in the base, grab the shield, grab the ball, throw the shield in the corner of the base and win 150-0.
Halo 3 is da best though! lol

Its not that you come to terms with it. Its that the game wont work as well without it. Players need to be aware that they are being placed against similar skilled opponents.
What did I miss.

Bottom one has more handles, I don't think they are the same weapon.
Last time I checked the bubble shield doesn't last for 150 seconds.

Fair enough haha. (I was being sarcastic about that statement btw)
Did they eventually take that out? I have no memory of playing that in MM.
It spawns 2 feet from you, all you have to do is pick up the next one and deploy it.

forgot one I liked, nothing new just awesome
i love the mini-motion tracker on the sticky detonator
edit: i cant unsee the armor pattern pop into place, the draw distance is horrible
probably never notice in gameplay

And 2 games later we still get AR starts on Highlands.
Bungie has always been absolutely horrible at combining gametypes with maps. And Objective gametypes haven't been decent since Halo 2.
As I say that I get ShWATguns in Team SWAT.
Shaking my head Bungie.

Looks like it might be, but the top one still looks like it has an extra back piece and an extra front piece. Maybe it is the same gun and they just altered the design or something.
Google Docs massacre.
Exactly. They do everything else so amazingly well but putting gametypes together has been an issue.
