at 3:10, can't tell if there's stun after a hijacking or the guy is just dumbfounded and isn't running

If no one wants it, I'll take it?
I too have a Panasonic plasma and a Samsung LCD. I think the difference in response time is most noticeable in Rock Band, unplayable when switching from the Plasma to the LCD. Fortunately Rock Band has an option to sync the game to your TV.
What sort of settings should I be changing to get the best performance from my Samsung LCD?

Here is what I don't even understand from you guys. Let's say you both are using the LR, one of you is using the stability perk (we don't even know if this removes knock out completely, or just lessens it), do you want to lose a fight because he has a 1 shot advantage over you due to a perk he picked? Let's say you both have stability, I'm assuming it can possibly still be knocked out of scope sometimes. He stays scope in, you get the random knockout, he wins again even if you start shooting at the same time.
Ok can someone straighten this out for me. Do you get knocked out of scope at all? From the gameplay I've seen you don't, you just flinch. So I'm guessing with the Stability perk, you flinch less.

Big negative. From NC.
Sad that we don't know this stuff 2 months out...

It does if the gun contains multiple forms of ammunition.
We don't know what it fires but its safe to assume its some form of better adapted plasma rounds. Its not a far stretch to assume then we the option for single shot is toggled forerunner magic can focus the plasma for a more deadly shot.
ASUS 2ms response time is all I can play games on now...
That or a CRT.
I'd probably just play around with the settings finding what's most comfortable and natural for you.

I forgot to mention something I was daydreaming about the other day.
How amazing would it be if Spartan Ops had a mission where it begins as a round of Infinity Slayer on a particular map, obviously with AI opponents (or teammates if not doing co-op), business as usual. And after about 30 seconds of gameplay, the environment starts to become distorted and glitchy, sounds become muffled and staticy, even the announcer could get a creepy distortion in his voice. Soon after, the environment blacks out, and you actually find yourself in the simulation area of the Infinity and the ship has made impact on Requiem and disrupted the simulation system, things around you are burning and destroyed. At this point you rush to evacuate the Infinity in typical Halo fashion as Covenant or Prometheans attempt to infiltrate the ship.
Shit would be amazing.

Wow, you guys are both wrong.
There is no knock out. The perk reduced kick/flinch when take shots while scoped in.

Magic? The thing shoots hard light or something, it's the only weapon that kind of functionality makes sense for. The rates of fire between scoped and unscoped are different. Please don't nerf, it looks like they already nerfed the carbine from the e3 build.
And yes, the BR should still be a 4 shot. You can even slightly decrease the RoF if you want to keep the kill time the same.

In your first scenario, you wouldn't necessarily lose that fight because whatever perk you picked in stability's stead should give you an advantage too.
And getting knocked out of scope is random now? No bueno. I can't even properly assess the second scenario.
edit: thank you based steely.

I love how that screencap of the Mark VI is me. Unless someone else in the second game started using Mark VI on our team, but I'm fairly certain I was the only one using Mark VI during both games.
It's great, I love it. Aiming is now paramount to winning longer range battles, not who got the drop on who.
And you don't get knocked out of scope period. You flinch, the perk reduces flinching. By how much, I don't know, never used it.
The DMR does not hold up against the BR in mid/close range. I don't know if it's the rate of fire or what, but it's not equal. DMR dongs on Exile and larger maps though.
I can't say for sure which game it's closest to, but you don't get as much distance as in previous games. You're going to have to lob your nades higher for more distance. No idea about plasma grenade launching, not exactly something you can test out on the show floor.
Count Cockula and Louis Wu's Gloryholes will go down in history.
Not sure if I ran into you at PAX, but I was with Heckfu and co. for pretty much the entire weekend so chances are I did. So if I did, it was nice to meet you too!

Isn't NC American?
Thank you. You probably answered my same question earlier; I just don't feel like searching through all the pages.
Thank you, as well.

As we can see NC is separated from the rest of America by a rectangle of some sort. Red to some, orange red to others.
Oh okay that explains it.
lol you are such a nerd. I read his post as if he were responding to mine but he was actually talking to Ram.
SOMETIMES I GET CONFUSED OK.

I gave all my extra ONI patches to Hypertrooper so anyone that gets one from him is obligated to thank me as well.
If you don't then my feelings will be hurt.

Yeah, there's only 1 problem with that. The console exclusive is FOTUS armor AND a skin too, so apparently that wasn't there. I don't k ow why it's so hard for frank/Ellis to simply clear this up (or anyone from 343). The lack of response leads me to believe there is no armor with the LE and it's just a skin, but they don't want to say that in fear of losing sales. If this is the case and noone says shit, there's gonna be a lot of pissed off customers/fans.
Oh what the fuck? The LE console may only get a SKIN for the unicorn armor?
I agree we need some serious clarification sooner than later. :_\

How does a gun do more or less damage if your Spartan puts his/her eye up to the scope?

Hmm... New York I could reasonably get to.
I don't have much interest in the other comic-con stuff besides Halo though.
I guess the conceit is that he or she is more accurate.

edit: from the hip it fires a 3 round burst, scoped in they combine into 1 larger projectile
therefore, more damage
im okay with it so whatever
Nice! Hope the jerk that hacked it got what was coming to him.
Yeah I don't get that at all. Like Ram said, that adds some annoying unpredictability.
I'm pretty sure "annoying unpredictability" is Halo 4's tagline.

Okay, see the losing sales thing was what I was asking earlier. You said their silence spoke volumes, and now I see where you're going with that. Sounds like they have a viable reason to keep quiet about it - they don't want to hose LE sales by revealing that it's not a great deal over normal + season pass.

I wish California had more. E3 isn't accessible to the public, and tickets for Comic Con had been sold out for like 6 months before Halo 4 was even announced to be there.
Awww yeaaaa. Juices! Come down, let's get shit faced
BY THE WAY
How many kills are there in an Energy Sword in Halo 4?
In previous games (lol Halo 2) it has always been way too much. 10 'shots' without the possibility of missing any is crazy. The Shotgun and Gravity Hammer also have a huge amount of ammo. The Shotgun has what, 20 shots in it? I don't know exactly about the Gravity Hammer but I'm pretty sure it has more juice in it than the Energy Sword. By the time that you run out of ammo with any of the CQC power weapons the next one will have a spawned already (obviously this is different with the new retarded weapon drop system).
It's pretty crazy how many kills you can get with them before you run out of ammo compared to other power weapons.
-Rockets is probably around 3 or 4 kills each time?
-Sniper would probably be similar to that (depending on the map).
-Grenade Launcher is most likely very low because everyone sucks with it so much that 343 thought it would be a good idea to remove the best weapon in Halo history and replace it with a shitty wanna-be GL that has grenade that stick to surfaces look poop and can only be used in defensive ways instead of offensive like with the most awesome weapon of all time: the Grenade Launcher.
-Focus Rifle is about -1 kills.
-Concussion Rifle around 2 killed people and 10 annoyed ones.
-Plasma Launcher maybe a vehicle and a half.
And then there's the CQC power weapons:
-Energy Sword is 10 kills every time because you can't miss any 'shots'
-Shotgun would probably be around the same area? Maybe a bit more? I'd say about 1 kill per 2-3 shots sounds about right.
-Gravity Hammer should be around the same amount too. You can waste juice but in most cases people only swing the hammer when the reticule is red anyway which ensures a kill.
If I was in charge of Halo 4...
...well if I was in charge there wouldn't be any CQC power weapons. Anyway, if I could decide the amount of ammo that CQC weapons would have I'd say that the Sword should have 4 kills in it, the Shotgun 8-10 shells and the Gravity hammer 6 swings. That sounds about right. This is mainly meant to balance it out with gametypes that use radar because it's much easier to get kills with CQC weapons with it on.
Point is: bring back the Grenade Launcher.
