So does this mean PV users can't crouch and "PV camp"? This was my biggest worry about PV.

I sure hope so. I need a campaign that offers a real challenge, not just unlimited enemies and grenade-rain.

Yeah, that was mine aswell
Glad to see the red ring that radiates from them
(in the video I remember)
the guy was on the very edge of the tracker, and it looked like the red wave touched the player, so your getting like 13ish meters worth of notice, if the d-bag is on the other side of the wall
youll definitely know hes there
Alright, more PAX swag giveaway time.
An ONI patch to the first person to answer.
What is the name of the bonus for successfully throwing the oddball to your teammate in Halo 4?
Three of the ONI patches are taken, but everything else is still up for grabs. Since I know a few of you are interested in the poster, I'm letting you know that I'll be putting it up at 3PM PDT, so look for it then.

I don't see why wouldn't it allow you to. Others expressed PV being OP. Bravos video demonstrates the E3 & PAX builds using PV. HaloGAF impressions stated its wave within MT once activated. PV vs. PV notifies a Ping sounds, to make it a bit more aware for other users. Another Gaffer I think puddin stated active PV users visors glow as another indicator. I assume these "should" apply within campaign & SpOps.
"See this MoFo? Shoot him First!" Lol thnx
PM sent, thanks!

The other night I said something about "Halo 4 CTF" with petetheduck on Reach
well he tried it out in all his ducky ways and apparently they had some decent fun
check out his mini-review of how the GT worked, granted, this is ofcourse within the Reach sandbox/map realm.
But still, he also includes a custom gametype if you want to try it yourself

Eh, it's fine. Not like this is a serious organized thing. It's all just for fun.

Anyone feel like hopping on Reach in a bit?
Every time I get too worried about CTF, or Oddball, or how specific perks are going to work, I watch a video like this and remind myself how good the core gunplay and movement are, and my faith gets restored.
I can't promise anything quickly, but I have a few extras of those - I just can't get my hands on them until I've given away two tubes full of goodies. (I packaged up 3 tubes before I left Seattle, one addressed to me, and left them with a friend (with postage already on them
) to be mailed after I'd figured out where to send them. He's only going to the post office once, so I can't get MY tube until the other two have been assigned - but once I get it, I'd be happy to send you a button. (If you get one sooner, that's fine too - I'm sure I'll find other people to give 'em to. )The Real Napsta

It's kind of weird to think how many things Halo 4 does wrong that Reach does right, but Reach still sucks and Halo 4 looks good.

Reach allows you to drop the flag, Reach has ODST and Mark V...
Deadly, you realize he was still being complimentary overall about H4? Don't jump on him immediately...

Without having played both to compare, how can you know "what Halo 4 does wrong?"
The flag thing is an opinion, depends on person. Armor has not been confirmed not to be hidden somewhere in the game.

Why does footage of the E3 still keep popping up?
As for the video, people don't seem to understand that you can fire the scattershot very quickly.
Listing things Reach did right: lists a couple of helmets.
lol
Really? Helmets? I can see where you're coming from with the flag, but helmets?
Come on.

Wasn't jumping on anyone, just making a statement that there's a lot we really don't know. I'm hoping part 2 of that vidoc will be a multiplayer look.

I'm gonna try and get that Cryptum pin. Lore whore encyclopedic knowledge, don't fail me now!
Alternatively, I would probably be willing to trade my Halo 4 Recruit LE armor skin to someone for it when I get my copy (so day 1).
EDIT FOR SWAG: I will also try and score one of hypertrooper's ONI patches, hopefully. Maybe I can design a custom hoodie for him. :lol

First all that candy and chocolate, now this? Are all Germans this generous?
Bitches about Tumblr gifs, posts gifs with nasty ass watermarks.
Give your passenger a Rocket Launcher, it's the only way to go.
I made those gifs before the press site released their video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79ia-c2BQwY
Wouldn't mind MP voices but that doesn't seem to have made it's way into the game. Oh well.
FTL is rad. It's also out for the public next week, it seems. A lot like Flotilla without the annoying bits.
Mega multi-quote...
Yup. Juices see this yet? He really should apply.
I am stoked they are getting someone for this position and I'm sure it'll have some bearing on Halo 4 down the road, but what does it mean for now and the first few months after launch without that position? I'd guess multiple people are sort of filling the role, just not as effectively?
Oh damn. That makes me want to try Red Dead again. I love the environments.
Yeah, I hope it's not cheating. Make the Knight have to "enable" PV and actively look for you. If they spot you in their line of sight, they found you, go from there. Please let it be like this and don't just let them know your position.
Remember that new guy before Reach launch at Bungie found a "huge bug" with something on Warthog AI? Maybe that wasn't a bug at all or he "fixed" it poorly.
Wow that actually be pretty cool.
I don't see how it'd be weird unless not addressed at all by the story or Cortana, but I doubt that'd be the case.
Not with that attitude.

I don't have a problem with Ply I had a problem with his reaction. By the way I'm fully aware of the shenanigans that can go on in these forums and love to play around and act like a clown myself at times. That being said I still think the reaction was a bit over the top. But whatever maybe it's because I'm fairly new and still getting a feel for everyone around here.
But like I said it's all good. Now back to this game called Halo

Good stuff right here.
I'm actually not sure who ran Homefront playlists. That guy/gal could be a good choice though. Experience does help.
Where's that from?Interesting:
Seems like the Watcher is reviving an enemy by dousing it in magic dust? Haven't seen that before.
