Color correction and audio mix are both the LAST things to happen. Unfortunate but necessary. We're seeing final quality episodes with proper color/PQ balance and they are obviously consistent and correct, but we won't be done with them until almost the last minute.

Yall thought AR starts vs BR starts arguments were epic before. With custom loadouts, we'll be arguing about which combo is best for forever.

Please consider my poor colorblind eyes during this process! I lose my reticule all the time on levels like Snowbound, and Im afraid the same thing will happen on Haven. I also have a hard time seeing blue characters in the shadows of Narrows.
Or maybe Ill just get new eyes

That makes me a very happy person. I know that the final look will probably be close to what is in these shorts, but even so with some tweaking it can make a huge difference.
So will we finally be getting new information of a weekly basis? For a while there it was few and far between, and left us grasping at straws (if you didn't notice). With 59 days to launch, I suppose I've been expecting more coverage/previews at this point. I know the month before is when the real marketing blitz starts an all, but we are still left speculating on a lot of details.
Really? It's possible I just misunderstood what was going on, but if you're right that really sucks. That means it's just first to 60 kills, what's the point in even disguising that behind a points system? : /
He's talking about the live-action series, not the game. I imagine what we see in the PAX build as far as reticule color goes is pretty much final.

Don't worry! In two years we'll be getting flag killstreaks and even better Forge lighting in Halo 5!
Shadow:
Suppressor (assuming it's named that for a reason and has some sort of stealth attributes)
UNSC Pistol
Frag Grenades
Active Camo
Mobility
Stealth
Tank aka OP:
Carbine
Boltshot
Frag Grenades
Hardlight Shield
Shielding
Explosives
Well I think it's just showing you're getting 10 xp points per kill, and in correlation, making matches to 600 points via 60 kills. I do also believe that it's their so that when bonus scoring is turned on, it'll reflect that. Anything that pops up on screen with a number is going towards your Spartan Rank overall though.

swap wider radar for dexterity and you've got a winner
because then it's possible to give 10 EXP for a kill and 5 EXP for an assist and it not be confusing. If it was 1 point/kill, and you get an assist it would give you .5 and that's just messy

4v4 slayer on 8v8 maps. (Not to say that's going to happen in MM though).
One thing that I find to be a definite flaw of sprint is the effect it has on map size. Most of Reach's maps fit comfortably into a 'medium' sized bracket and Halo 4 looks to be scaling maps even larger to account for sprint. We'll never see a Warlock, Guardian, Lockout or Midship with sprint.
Speaking of Midship, if one of the three Forge environments is Covenant and they use pre-built buildings (we know that Lockout BR tower is in the Forerunner Forge space) then surely they'll straight up use Midship's assets. Pink Tower, Carbine and the base designs. Then the community could finally build a decent Midship in Forge (no sprint, no AA's, BR starts pls).
Yep, moving the decimal point eliminates the half-point issue, making fast math easier, while allowing the XP rewards to be internally consistent.
Also, this. It's an assault rifle what fires big ol' orange blobs. Not a lot of stealth involved.

Watch out Frank. dont let the "casuals" know this loadout. they'll call you an LG tryhard. (not all casuals, just a large amount)
It didn't seem too distinguishable from the Storm Rifle and Assault Rifle. I'm hoping there's some differences between those guns.
Just my prediction for what the hardcore class will be once the dust settles.

We can name loadouts right? Fat Inheritor, Frankie pls, Elzar status, etc?
Yes you can name them, and Elzar will name him after nipples.

So I'm guessing the NYCC Panel will be about Halo 4 skill ranks, I can dream..

Btw, we will be getting new Halo 4 news today (assuming what is in GI is new):
Anyone have a GI digital sub and a tablet?
Anyone have a GI digital sub and a tablet?
The only piece of equipment I like out of them is the frag...
They also played 8v8 on Haven and Adrift during certain events so it doesn't say too much.
And if they do decide to make bad combination of maps and gametypes there's always this post.

My thoughts on Silentium may tell how
and fills that explanation for Halo 4.
The Thursday War is so close and looks like it has a lot of foreshadowing for Halo 4 & Silentium intel already.
The Ur-Didact came to Requiem after being Exiled (within a Cryptum) in the Flood Infested system
Something must of happened to Bornstellar (Didact). Possibly killed? Resulting to Didacts consciousness to return and should explain the above spoiler.

I'll probably use that loadout in two versions. v1 BR and v2 LR
With this loadout casuals will just win all the time. Pack it up boys, moms are gonna dong on us.

Girlfriend Mode loadout confirmed
Slightly Live
Dirty tag dodger
Imagine the unholy hell of a reaction there would have been if BL2's "Girlfriend Mode" had somehow actually been made into a Halo 4 Armour Ability/Loadout.
The internet would have assploded.

Yes, this will be one of my loadout names, thanks Viewtiful! Character limits permitting.
Lol.

Except that you'd be playing Slayer games to 20 kills.
If you're not using Firepower, you're doing it wrong. Let the loadout battle begin!
Because it makes for a consistent point system across all modes, and makes for a point system in-game that directly inputs to the investment system without having to reassign values to what you did in-game as another value specifically for the investment system.
One loadout to rule them all
One loadout to find them
One loadout to see through walls
And in the darkness five them

Its a point system built with the Progression system in mind. simplicity trumped by the illusion of player control

lttp... been a rough couple of days.
Wait... what? Why would you want to? If you are still alive, run the flag home! Why would you want to kill yourself?
343 said several times over the course of the PAX weekend that they aren't making any comments about custom games at this time. Where are you getting the info that they're taking such a hard line in customs?
THIS is what a friggin' flight aggregator should look like. I owe you, sir.
Dammit. And now those ads are showing up at the bottom of GAF pages again.

You can also use the code on the console, which is already lowered to 350 dollars
But now it's confusing because when it says:
KILL +10
Then ten points go on your score, but when it says:
ASSIST +5
your score doesn't go up at all. It would be considerably less confusing to have each kill equal one kill and it count up to sixty kills, then have your XP count up separately. What we have is a half amalgamation of the two, I don't think you can really put forward an argument to say it's less confusing.
So if all the helmets have been revealed and Warrior is not the default: Which helmet is the default?
