Is there a video? I'm not doubting you if it comes across that way I'd just like to see it if there is one.

Somebody get this mothafucka his meds
Looks great, can't wait to actually play it.
Jet Pack shoots you up like 2 and half stories but is immediately drained.
Beam Rifle looks awesome.
Suppressor looks like its junk.
Pulse Grenade are gonna take some getting used to.
Banshee still has the gross Reach design and looks slightly more agile. They need to bring the H3 Banshee back...

3 sniper headshots in a row = "Headcase"

Regen field is Drop Shield on roids... Wish he had tried the light rifle... A hard Banshee is good... We don't want another monster.
"THE ONLY GOOD BLUE IS A DEAD BLUE, BREH!"
Whatever the ruleset, that game looks fun.

That was my first thought also, haha. Such a great animation.. Wish we could have seen how the AA plays out more..
Now I really wanna see the auto turret in action.
That thing is sexy.. Looks like they took the visuals from the Focus Rifle and mixed em together.
Seems to be a running theme...

Headcase was best. Killing an enemy while they are sprinting? Hell yeh.

Wow Halo 4 looks like so much fun!
What time was jetpack at in that naked eli video?
I didn't catch it

why is Halo 4 map design so terrible. that map is like a giant open arena with grey Forge-esque objects thrown all over the place and a bunch of hallways in random locations. where's the flow? where are the choke points? why is it so big and incongruous? less is so much more with Halo maps.

I really hope the Halo 4 panel is uploaded quickly tomorrow. I can't stand this waiting game!
But, still, we have some small teasers to hold us over.
Yum. Hope new footage is posted soon.

the best is still DISTRACTION. Halo 4 rewards you for running out in the open and dying.
you can't make this shit up, folks.

To say something postive, I dig the map that I've seen. Looks like it plays pretty well for the Team Objective standard 5v5, with plenty of paths for both on-foot players and vehicle usage. I don't know if the Gauss Hog or Scorpion tank should be there, but maybe they just want you to try it out.
And the gunplay IS good, as are lots of the visual effects. There's a good core Halo game in there...somewhere...

I just want to say your avatar is perfect for this post, and this is maybe the first(and only) time I ever complimented a MLP avatar.

On LAN?
Watching the video, a few thoughts:
- Flag return timer is excellent. Thank you guys for finally returning that to the long-range UI, it was dearly missed.
- Banshee seems just as bad as usual. Fuel rod is an abomination, both in a vehicle and as a separate weapon.
- Regen Field radius seems massive, I'm not sure anything's gonna change my mind on this one. Seemed like a bad idea in 3, seems like a bad idea now.
- Dude talks a lot, but at least he's showing us the stuff we want to see.
- Camo looks like it'll be as problematic as Reach's version since it doesn't seem to be changed very much.
- Exile seems like a really good map.
- Jetpack changes seem pretty good, will wait to see how it is used by griefers to pass judgement.
- That guy killed a Warthog with his pistol. Weird.
- Beam Rifle is a welcome return, I always liked the dynamic between the two sniper rifles' behavior.
- Very, very strange that the prebuilt loadouts were all automatic weapons. Hopefully not indicative of matchmaking defaults.
I'm glad that we got to see all of this stuff, it raised as many questions for me as it answered. I still don't think we'll truly know how well this stuff works until a month or so after release, when everybody's got things unlocked and the usual assholes are trying to break the game. Early demo please.

Thanks!
Wow well IDK how I missed that.
But meh, doesn't look THAT bad...
Of course I'd much rather the jetpack die with Reach but meh.
Active Camo AA on the other hand... why
... why... .... whyyyyyyyyyyyyEven has that stupid radar jammer.
I appreciate you letting me know a camo guy is around but it still doesn't help me see or hit him.
Wish Active Camo users still had auto aim when targeting them.
We've known a visual ranking system isn't likely for several months.

The narrator for that video was funny for about 30 seconds, and then he got very, very annoying. You can't hear anything but him.
