Grifball looks awesome. Can't wait to play it! That Forge environment looks pretty cool. Foundry v2!

seem like 343 is playing favorites.
PAX today was fun, but goddamn is it exhausting. I'm totally out of it right now and have been for most of the day. I feel like I was just kind of floating around only half aware.
Only played one game of 4, Regicide on Haven. Both the map and gametype seem to be good, and the base gameplay is still holding up. Even on a smaller map, it still feels like a gun game. Melee, grenades and armor abilities are a consideration, but not deciding factors for the most part. I have high hopes for the final game.
Going to try to sleep early tonight so I'm not so drained. Hopefully I'll finally get to play Spartan Ops tomorrow, though just hanging out with Gaffers has been half the fun.

This is going to make throwing the ball off the edge of the map so it will reset easier...not sure if that is good. It is a tatic to keep away from the other team sure, but should it be this easy?

How so?
Kidding of course, nice find.
Also for the love of everything tl;dr is a meme that will land you in hot water.

They need to change the sound of the hammer. That "wabooooosh" sound was a big part of what always made it so fun to use.
Until you realize the whole thing is based off the best connection again.

The new elements making it easier for grifball players to play their gametype. And the Flag stuff making it less appealing with the Auto pick up and not dropping. Also, No mention of a Ranked set of playlists nor a ranking system at all.

Reading the grifball hub summary, they direct address that issue
Saying that because it's built from the ground up and not piggy backing on assault they have cleaned it up alot

Yeah I couldn't stand grifball.
I count at least 24 different weapons (old and new) announced for Halo 4 so far. I'll be interested to see how all this gets balanced. Particularly with the four rifles: Carbine, DMR, BR, and Light Rifle. Seems a bit redundant to have 4 guns to fill the same role of the sandbox.
I'd like to know where you saw that. The TTW preview I saw included about 115 pages out of 444, not a little but still only about a quarter of the book, with a lot of key moments deliberately left out. Still enough to find out that.Traviss has not yet been forced to give Halsey a fair treatment, though
The length of the preview seems to be variable. Pages 97-444 were cut out on my tablet, but some of them are there on my laptop.

So?
What would happen if, instead of a flag, you had to capture an Oddball? Neutral Capture the Oddball. You can drop it, juggle it and even pass it. If you can apply heavier gravity to that one object, you could pretty much recreate a heavy flag. Two scoring volumes on each base. Ball resets when it has been scored.
Custom game options usually let you take the waypoint off of ball carriers if memory serves me right.
Boom.

this has nothing to do with Custom games. it has to do with Wargames. they have shown favoritism by essentially making the grifball community feel more important by catering elements to them whilst changing the more classic gametypes to fit their vision of "needed change", but then again im arguing with Hydranockz, captain of team SLRP

Has the thought occurred to you yet that that might not even be the final script? You don't know when any of this was filmed, for all we know half of that could be changed you know?
I'm assuming anything in there was cleared, and more likely than not either changed, or not something that makes it into the game.

And why couldn't Capture the Oddball ever be used in Wargames?
Why are you even arguing? Put on your thinking cap and discuss things like sensible people do.
This notion that we need to argue because we differ in opinion is childish. Talk about things bro.
Not dropping the flag is silly, yes. I try to suggest a competitive workaround and you brush it aside. Your loss.
Why chance it though?

No prob. I'll actually be playing Halo 4 tomorrow so I'll add more pics and thoughts.
Also got to actually talk to Frank one on one. Very cool dude. Thanked him for tequila shots and discussed the internet reaction to CTF news.

So, why the hell did Amazon post the majority of The Thursday War online? Huge fuckup? Im just not sure how that even happens.
Enjoying it none the less.
Thanks for posting, that thing looks insane. I like.
Thanks!
Why don't you like fun?
Its really bugging me how curvy they made her..I wish they kept her proportions closer to the Halo 3 look, but I guess sex sells.
Why did I read that? Why?
Why did they include that in the video? Why?

Better times. Got the package handed off to Ellis. Finished up some other stuff. I think this is my last PAX for a while though, the way this one has gone makes me feel burned out on it. I actually was wishing earlier that I could just go home to my bed in Vancouver, get on my computer, and go to sleep.
Also, they're really not leaving anything to the imagination now with Cortana, are they :lol

I'll keep this as civil as possible. What I believe he is saying is that the "classic" community that wants to play the game their own way now can't because they remove certain key aspects of the Halo game they know and love, like flag juggling, without even an option to turn it back on. While the grifball community gets every tool possible to make the game better for them in every way imaginable.
That's what the problem is.

Ha! Duncan filming. Can't wait to see all that he's been recording
