Please stop bitching about the grass. I swear, you fuckers will find absolutely anything to complain about. There's an extremely high chance that this is yet another build that hasn't had the final polish put to it. There's plenty of things in this game to be wary about, and the grass not looking like it does in your parents front yard shouldn't be one of them.

Whoa, auto-sentry an AA option at PAX?

No, it's been brought up but a few of us at THC talked about it awhile back and we all thought it just got cut at this point. Guess not, can't wait to see how it influences gameplay and map movement.

Is Bravos video up?

 

[Garrett 2U]

I just thought of something:

What if Halo 4 is going to be the CoD4 for fps?

Think about it on many different levels.

My friend and I were pondering this yesterday. Halo 2 meets COD 4 taking the best of both.
Ermergerd.

People post trufskilz examples every day. Individual experience DOES matter no matter what you think.

The problem is not TrueSkill's ability to place a relativistic skill value... it's the loose matchmaking paramaters allowing widely disparate values to match.

The things people post reflecting terrible team mates, or wide gaps in wins or losses have typically nothing to do with TrueSkill getting it wrong - it's a match making system allowing loose matches to decrease search time in a game with relatively low populations.

whyyyyyyy 343 whyyyy

hopefully it works well, and doesn't suck. :'-(

 

[Vire]

I have to say those mountains and it's formations looks fucking amazing. Just wow.

Yeah, the actual environment is great, the mountains are really beautiful looking. Reminds me of classic Halo. (Beaver Creek)

It's just a shame that the ground textures stick out like a sore thumb compared to it.

Maybe some anisotropic filtering would improve it greatly, I dunno, or it's just the textures themselves.

Just a bit disappointing compared to quality we've been getting from 343.

Or it could be the worst thing to happen to Halo since Reach.

Ya know I don't get people like you. Why so sensitive? If it makes you feel better I will remind you that I'm still getting this game and I'm sure I'll enjoy it but those textures (or lack thereof) stick out like a sore thumb especially when everything else looks great. To not say something would almost be a crime.

Why are you so sensitive to grass textures? Shit is fucking bananas if you think about it in the big picture.

Also, thanks for the pics Duncan.

Shhhhhhhhhh don't think that way!

Not only that but think about it in terms of Halo and the fps genre. If this game turns out good, it'll completely reinvent Halo like CoD4 did for CoD. Also, if it also feels refreshing, hopefully it'll draw in so many people like CoD4 did and the cycle of Halo can be reborn once again.

To be honest, Reach is the closest Halo will ever get to CoD in terms of how it feels/plays. Halo 4 seriously just looks like a glorious Halo game with newer standards mixed in.

Or it could just be shitty textures, which wouldn't surprise me one bit. Nothing to cancel your pre-order over.

Some people here (not you) seem to think this game is the second fourth eighth coming of Jesus, which in some ways is just as annoying as people singling out every little flaw. It's a game running on eight-year old hardware. It'll have some flaws in the graphics department. The fact that 343 got it looking as well as they did is astounding, but don't expect too much, either.

Map reminds me a bit of Timberlands/Ridgeline. I like.

Lol what?

H4 is the closest to CoD yet. Reach isn't even close.

Pretty much. No matter what 343 says, you can't deny the CoD influences on Halo 4.

Shoutouts to Bravo for using the stuff that's new in this PAX build like the BR and Promethean Vision. Never seen those before...

Map looks great from a gameplay standpoint. Can't wait to play it.

Not too big, not too small. Seems just about right.

Inside the caves looks really awesome also.

Well when you try new stuff like Best Man at events you get called bad.

I'd go -45 on camera just to give everyone the chance to see new stuff.

It looks like there's a waypoint over the enemy's head when they have your flag...? At 3:40.

 

[Shake Appeal]

FLAG JOUST.

 

[TheOddOne]

Ok, it might be off-screen footage but the ground textures are not really that bad or distracting. Game looks great.

*faints*

 

[CyReN]

Dropping the flag takes too much bandwidth, calm down people.

 

[u4iX]

So, uh, is anyone else worried no one in matchmaking is ever going to pick up the flag in CTF game modes now?

 

[Slightly Live]

I dropped the ball on one small issue or two but mostly right.
