Looks like the return of the power drain in disguise to me.
The Halo 4 menus are growing on me.

People have complained about how players look in the lobby, but it seems like they're going for a baseball card kinda thing that I dig.
If only it had a skill rank...

The Prometheans looks just fine to me.
The odd and quick third person change is too disruptive for me and the reasons I don't care to use that AA. I imagine AA use will minimal for me.

Oh, something I'm curious about that the PAX goers can see if they can try out for me. Does bumper jumper work well with jetpack? I wonder if they altered something like making it a toggle, or made pressing jump while airborne activate it. Can you still shoot while jetpacking?
Every time I see a Promethean Knight I think of this.
I forgot how stupid film Megatron looked.
At least he sounded cool though.

It plays music when you're the king in Regicide.
I wonder if it just plays music all the time when you're/you have the objective.

Neogaf should implement that every first post of a new page should play music.
It also looks like the grenade indicator is tied to general distance and doesn't necessarily mean damage will be done if the indicator is on the screen. Not sure if I like that. I'll need to play it though and see if it interferes with where I think I'm safe from a grenade.

Seems to be only tied to xz axis distance (i.e. does not account for height). Could be wrong.
Makes no sense to do that though, in terms of logic and game maths.

Light Rifle 6sk unscoped? And by the looks of the panel, 4sk scoped? Can anyone confirm this?
I like.
When is the Halo 4 website going to be updated?
I can't wait to hear the canon explanation for that.
It's just my opinion. I'm going to try and block it out; I really don't want to be reminded of anything Michael Bay does.
Edit: @DeadNames, it looked like a 5sk unscoped to me. It's really hard to tell with the off-camera stuff if he's missing shots or not.

Regarding the new Grifball whats to stop one team from camping the others spawn and just racking up scores?
Not even The Rock or Bad Boys? Those were fuck-ton-of-awesome.
I thought that was the the object of the game.

Yes, that would be ideal!Maybe you can flip the card over and see some stats.
And also highest skill.

Well in regular Grifball the round just ends and you reset. Now it just seems the first time one team controls the spawn the game is just over.
Man, I forgot about The Rock and Bad Boys. I guess all those Transformer movies and the details about him trying to make Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from outer-space just clouded my judgement.

I'd point at the games that don't do it, and you could point at those that do, so *shrug* Strawman arguments either way.
I don't think it needs to be mandatory. If anything, having the option to turn it off is fairest to all involved.
Lol
All of these notifications and back pats are for the people GAF destroys night in and night out, not sure why you guys dont get that.

I will hold out hope until we get a rank breakdown from a bulletin or some other form of concrete information.
Not looking good though.
I've barely been on GAF in the past couple days and I guess I'll at least try to read the thread and catch up on it.
Just wanted to say that it was awesome to meet so many of you, especially when I've known you for years! And 343 has been so great to me (and other folks) on this trip. Y'all are seriously rad!
Okay back to bed bye. See you PAXers at the Gearbox panel!
edit: I guess I'll post impressions of the actual game sometime tomorrow. Idk.
Best thing: Dynamic music. Fuck yeah, it was AWESOME, for real.
Worst thing: Announcer voice announces everything.

Wow, there's a whole lot of awesome looking helmets with visors.
And it's good to see someone who's actually decent playing.
Given how they changed it to that in Halo 3 and Reach, I'm not surprised its remained the same. Melee strength in general has been amped; thankfully melee seems like it won't be a TOD for players like you'd often see in those games. It's hilariously too powerful and makes/made close quarters fighting terrible.

Can some one PLEASE make a video of all the helmets? Please?
what i've taken away from pax info/media/impressions:
+ warthog looks fun to drive again!
+ banshee looks considerably slower, especially during maneuvers.
+ CTF with pistol looks like a fun change. i'm getting used to the idea of not being able to drop it to defend yourself, as its not as necessary now that you have a sidearm.
+ jetpack is nerfed! looks a touch slower, but more importantly, it uses its charge VERY quickly and has a slower recharge. no longer can it be spammed non-stop.
+ camo is nerfed! looks virtually the same as TU reach, but the radar jammer is effectively gone (in its place are "distraction" blue dots, for user and enemies).
+ new weapons look pretty slick.
+ new map, like all previously announced maps, looks at least good to great. cant wait to play on it!
- auto pickup. its silly. not a huge gamebreaker, but definitely still a "wtf" moment for me.
- 2x gauss hogs, banshee, tank on new map. please just be for PAX, total overkill.
- regen. huge question mark still. havent heard any impressions and only saw a glimpse of it in one video where its use wasnt demonstrated.
- hectic pace. looks much crazier then my playing style. could just be due to the show atmosphere, or it could be due to universal sprint and game changes. undecided.
LOVE that everyone who gets hands on with it seems mostly pleased. halo 4 seems to take the best of halo 2/3 and reach. as someone who actually enjoyed reach, its nice to see that AA have been tweaked across the board not to be such game changers.

Just like Reach.
Ask Bravo/Nak3d Eli/Greenskull/Halo Council/Halo4Follower, if they already haven't put one out.
I'm really really happy to hear that.

Do we even know if Juggernaut's going to return now that there's Regicide?
You can watch videos and instantly tell it's better than Reach.
Rename it to "Premium Quality". Profit.
Looking forward to playing it without all the fluff. Should be good.

Yea, even with the fluff, you can tell from the videos, this game is more focused on gunplay than anything else, and it looks good.
Will the systems be abused? Yea, by the 5-10% population that is a well coordinated team that beats pretty much everyone they play. The other 90% pleb population? Probably won't even matter.

I'll maybe go through everything and compile a list. HBO and Halo Council seems to be most up to date till now.
