'These TVs are VERY hard to play on - very laggy.'
It's weird, the screens at gaming conventions always seem to have godawful input lag, I remember thinking precisely the same thing when I got to play Anniversary a bit early. I suppose they don't bother to adjust the settings.

Sorry if old, but Bravo has released actual Halo 4 gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIOOgFUwZfA&feature=g-u-u
You get 150 "points" for it, so I don't think that is going to be a huge issue. But I will probably be wrong lol
Although I don't know what the points go towards, as there is no Care package drop thing by the looks of it.

Do the words "in terms of how it plays" mean nothing to you guys?
Halo 4 feels more like a Halo game than Reach does. If I have to explain this..
I still need to play it first, I think going in with a team will be fine for CTF, but going in solo in MM won't be too much fun...
I like the commitment aspect to picking up the flag now, it's a big change that actually makes sense on a highly competitive level where you'll NEED to be set up and ready to pull a flag, but simply seeing it off cam and thinking about the casual audience, I think it really kills any fun, social aspect to CTF.

Unless there's some design peculiarity I haven't thought of, I can't see any reason at all for not allowing you to drop the flag.
What about dropping or throwing it to hand it off to a better positioned teammates? What about dropping it to fight back with something other than a pistol? I don't understand.

Yeah, but you were comparing Reach to Call of Duty. I fail to see how Reach plays like Call of Duty: it just plays like a less fun Halo game.
Yeah, that's a real bummer. Objective sneaking was key in past games, seems like it'll be all but dead now with radar elevation indicators, increased radar sensitivity perks, Promethean Vision, and the multitude of waypoints.
Wonder what happens when you press Y when you have the flag. Wish that'd drop it just like it did with dual wielded weapons in H2 and 3.

I'm more worried about the fucking waypoint over your head than the fact that you can't drop the flag. Though both are really stupid.
Also, at point Bravo's carrying 3 plasma grenades. Is that a perk, or standard?

343 said they sat down and re-thought out some of the traditional game modes.
I'm very, very curious to hear their explanations behind these CTF changes. but at the moment I'm getting a major Sage vibe from their tinkering and that is very bad.

I said it's the closest Halo will ever get to feeling that way, even considering the CoD influences in Halo 4.
It's ok.. I forgive you
<3
Agreed. That map looks fuckin FUN as hell! Can't wait to play this damn game... 'tis a damn shame though Bravo didn't use other shit considering he knows fans wanted to see more from the redundant MLG footage.
Feels like Halo.

CAPS CAPS EVERYTHING. ALL CAPS EVERYTHING.
The UI design seems to be predicated on the idea that the average Halo player does not understand anything that is happening at any moment, ever.

Those classic playlists are sounding better and better with every new "innovation" I hear.
Yeah that's what I think too. There's no way that's right. Can't be.

Why does the pistol have infinite ammo?
Is it a magic pistol?
If I am not carrying a pistol when I pick up the flag does this magic pistol materialize anyway? Why can't I always use this magic pistol? Does it come free with the flag?
And why does the flag make me go faster?
Where does babby come from?

It'll be an interesting chage. For some reason I think the waypoints on flag carriers heads are meant just for this PAX event so that the games go faster and the action stays more constant.
I actually can't wait to play CTF actually. I think it really changes things up, maybe not even in a good way, but it'll be interesting... I'll go for flags all day. Long hair, don't care.
On the UNSC Infintiy holodeck... anything is possible.

So now if I decide to play the objective in CTF:
I have a waypoint on my head saying "KILL ME"
I cannot drop the flag
My only non-close range weapon is a pistol that has bloom
Yea people are definitely going to go for the objective now, and not just farm kills for 10 minutes.

IN IT TO WIN IT!
On a more positive note, I really like that now they show the BR trails for the bullets. Seems pretty useful now so you can see the exact trajectory of those bastards to align your shots properly.. Looks like the Hammerburst shots from Gears.

I just realized you still can't see what your second weapon is on your HUD, the fuck?

Anyone else expecting the final UI overhaul to have YOU ARE PLAYING HALO 4 where your health bar used to be?
(Changes to YOU ARE RELOADING when you are reloading.)

Bravo was getting shot while in scope and it wasn't knocking him out. He was clearly not used to it because he just kept running into a wall expecting to be automatically knocked out of scope. Going to have to get used to that one.
The new CTF stuff is also going to take getting used to. Man, I just love flag juggling so much. It's k, my adaption is off the charts. Still burns though.

Hahaha that is so hilariously bad.
I really hope there's an option to turn that off.
Too much bandwidth for that.

Yeah that and what are they planning to disable Switch Weapons (Y)? I don't think so.. CTF looks so badass!
Exactly, wtf.. They basically said they had that shit in later builds ;\

But they at least let you know if and when you're carrying the flag(that you may or may not be able to drop), so you lose some, you win some.
