Preach. That Naked Eli vid almost has me sold, but even then it would be the regular people edition.

He means a story that is worth something and isn't a hilariously cliched mess, like that of every COD other than WaW.

Watching Siglemic is so damn fun. I never would've guessed it, but it's true.

What was/is the record?
I know. I mean, even copying the weekly episodic campaign DLC model that CoD has been doing since time immemorial. Or the tight integration of fiction from outside of the game with the game plot proper. CoD has been doing that forever, right?

But now you won't accidentally pick up something else and die.. causing the flag to respawn.
Just saying, there's positives/negatives to this guys.

8-4 did a mini (1 hour) episode on it, if you haven't heard it.
Someone said it was like watching the reveal of MGS2 for the first time again.
Also you can hijack vehicles now!
As someone who has been playing since threewave... I don't see the positives
Actually no... Let me rephrase that as it implies positives exist
I don't agree on your statement on the existence of positives good sir
*slaps you with dueling glove*
Every time you post that I keep thinking you say boring at first lol.
Damn, I missed it. I'll watch the rebro, but it can never be the same.
Past games you had the chance to throw the flag into a more covered spot and now you have a new area to shoot from. You could also flag bounce and advance the flag much further than a Spartan getting shot by 5 others should have.
In Halo 4, if you're going in to grab the flag you know that once you touch it you know that you're no longer able to contribute as well in a fight. So basically you now have much more limited options presented before you before diving in for the flag, which hopefully makes for a more informed decision. And yeah, I don't really have a problem with the flag carrier being handicapped and limited in options he's the flag carrier now.
But like I said on the previous page, this is all theory and just based off my limited experiences with the older Halo games.
Interesting weapons.
By any chance do you work on CoD games or make a living off Halo because you seem awfully incensed about the whole thing.

You don't think the reason I provided is a good reason that supports the idea?

Seems like it is, sony tweeted that it's coming to PS3.
These are really odd gameplay changes. I understand if they were made for a purpose, but I'm getting the feeling that these were made just for changes sake. Auto-pickup and the inability to drop the flag seem like very unnecessary gameplay modifications, at least in my opinion..
Lame.

was posted on reddit.
I saw that, but I also see in the official press release it says Kojima Productions are also working on next generation stuff, so does that mean 360/PS3 versions with superior next gen upgrade versions along side them?
I'm so ready for these consoles to die...
Also, Heckfu, I want to hear your opinions.
In my opinion? It forces teams to play with the objective in mind. If you know the flag is being aimed at by the other team and you run in you're going to die. Disabling auto-pick up doesn't automatically make standing/crouching on the flag a safe spot to fire from or move to. The flag now acts as a ward for "hey you probably shouldn't run to here until you make sure it's safe."
Also, picking up and making a flag run requires a bit more thought and planning; no more "pick up the flag, move it here, and now we play 5v5 again but also have the added advantage of starting this fight with the flag moved up 20 ft compared to the 5v5 we won earlier with 0 ft. on the flag."
Anyways, I haven't played Halo 4 yet so I'll stop coming up with probably false theories.

It actually makes me wonder if games that come out right on the precipice for next-gen will have optional additions or the capability to have a (more efficient/better looking/blah blah) version on the next gen consoles

So, I hate to sound like a Junior, but when exactly does the Halo 4 panel take place? I'm dying to see a 10 minute ViDoc.

Same here. I want all the opinions I can get right now.
Please do, I'd like to read them.

Yes?
The problem isn't limited to the flag locations, but if you ever stay close to a flag carrier you could end up picking it up by accident when the carrier dies. I just don't get it personally but maybe 343 has their reasons.

Ok, 3 hours. Just to spur some conversation, I honestly don't mind the auto-flag pickup thing if it were an option in some custom games or maybe a separate gametype of CTF in matchmaking. Anything to bring up Team Objective's population.

I actually want to hear them.
Just got done with a game of Regicide on Haven: me, Yuhas, Barrow, Domino, Slaker, and a random. Map flows beautifully, just enough jumps and corridors to make chases possible to not only escape from but also to flank and surprise the attacker for an assassination which happened twice for me.
Assault rifle...surprisingly good at short range that doesn't REQUIRE a burst but is helpful. BR is still king at short to close range so it's helpful on this map.
Barrow came in 1st, Yuhas 2nd, me 3rd, Domino 4th, random 5th and Slaker last.
It's super helpful how the king has a waypoint above his head with bounty attached so it's possible for both types of players, passive and aggressive. Everyone here played aggressively but I could definitely see where a player could sit back and wait for the king to have a higher bounty an try and take him out but on this map it was too frantic to play that passive I think.
Sticky grenades play a lot differently and grenades in general don't have nearly as much throwing distance as they did in Reach. By playing differently I mean that stickies have a TON of loft on them and have a smaller splash damage for sure; multiple times I threw a sticky I know in Reach would've killed a person with low shields didn't touch the guy.
Overall, this game is for gun play. It's not impossible to get shot first and come back and get the kill unlike Reach.
Sorry this post is so disjointed, typing on my phone at lunch.
