Yep, 1200 msp.
Unfortunately I need those space bucks for something else. Wednesday will be spent playing as a muscular frenchman with earrings and a tiny tank top.

Bodyshot and melee. It's almost easier to use the damn Sniper at point blank range.
Almost exactly what BigShow said... lower the aim assist and change the reticle size. Want a DMR to have a range of medium to long, decrease the size of the reticle. Want the BR to be have a range of short to medium, increase the reticle size. Adjust the aim assist to balance the sand box.
THAT'S the way to balance and not introduce mechanics that worsen the experience for online play. This assumes people want skill to be emphasized within a balanced sand box. If that is not the case, it's not for you.

No but really, those Elites can go fuck themselves, im so glad you where able to Rambo them.
When is Counter Strike out, I would love to at least try a demo if I dont just buy it. I need a game. Any game to make me play xbox lol. I have been riding the highs of some awesome free rentals, but between those havent touched the thing at all.
I should try Halo sober sometime.

The problem with BTB in Reach isn't Heavies. The problem is when you start a Heavies match, five of your teammates quit, one of the remaining two sucks, and the other finishes the match with a score of NEGATIVE FORTY FIVE.
That's right, -45. The guy managed to run off and suicide that many times.
OT, but who knew running up 17 flights of stairs was this tiring.

Dat dynamic shadowing.
Seriously, zombie's would be so much more tense if the maps were a lot darker and the survivors had shadow casting flashlights on the end of their shotguns.
You could watch the shadows of zombie's destroying your teammates around the corner, and it would get darker and darker as more and more survivor's die.
Hey, who knows, maybe zombies will be fleshed out this time around...
=/
Given I wouldn't want it to come at the sacrifice of a more traditional mode, but I mean its been around since Halo 2, Im sure it can change.
Nahh
Someone mentioned it before. Not much to discuss based off concept art.
Level looks cool, has it been discussed yet?
Ouch.
I've always wanted a humans vs flood game type. Where you have a team of Spartans locking down a region against flood combat forms. The combat forms have a jump that has a small cool down, and limited use of weapons( can pick up, but no reticle, and random hits), while the humans have to survive in the dark. Each combat form also has a small swarm of infection forms, which it can send out using the grenade button. Each spartan dead joins the flood, and you get a very tense, last-man-standing situation.
Maps would be dark, dingy locations, in a poor area of a major city, or a forerunner structure. Hell, we could also have a floor of the library. It would be difficult as hell to implement, but damn, it would be awesome.

Concept art for Powerhouse was pretty cool too.
Never forget.

Isn't this concept art for a DLC map?
I maintain that Powerhouse is actually a fairly decent map.

Make the Infection Zombie models as The Flood. Profit.
Powerhouse and High Ground are the two maps I'm not sure why more people don't like, especially compared to much crappier maps..

Powerhouse is probably my favorite map for Slayer in Reach.
But really, you can't beat Oddball Swordbase.
Did nobody see that mega-post that I made up there?
And people call me crazy for saying that is one of the worst maps ever.

I love 1 Flag on Powerhouse. Team Slayer, FFA, and Snipers work well, too.

I love it. But people were discussing the concept art prior to the release of Reach. Really hard to judge from the art.

Shut up crazy boy. You dunno what ya talkin 'bout.
Zealot is the best Reach map anyway.
Definitely one of the nicer turds out of the Reach maps.
Yea not too many pieces of Halo concept art I don't like.

I've been wanting that same gametype for ages too lol - I was even hoping that Firefight VS. would be like that with The Covenant.
Really? I see mad Powerhouse hate ;[
It really is. There is no real flow to the map. In relation, the map I find it kinda similar to, High Ground, is still one of my favorite (at least for 1 flag ctf/assault games).

High Ground and Powerhouse are both great maps. Not to say they do not have issues but a lot of those issues are more about sandbox placements and not actual map flow. Armour Abilities ruin reach's map flow aswell.

Actually in the very beginning before you jump, you can see special 5 elites and in the covenant ship there are 2 doors that spawn like 8 waves of elites then you have to jump back one floor and there are 7 spec ops elites hidden then go forward to keyes and trigger the cinema. It will spawn spec ops everywhere so take your time.
In the second floor you will find most of the spec ops elites hidden in the corridors and in the banshee area you will find like 6 spec ops.
If you need help invite me.

Ooh, talk about concept art for MP map, me likey. You should know what the maps below are anyway.
I would buy a book that was based on MP concept art and the design/work that went into producing them.

Lighting aside, I think they pretty much nailed Breakpoint. That many individual light sources on the right building and (it looks like it's either dusk or dawn) a big enough skybox could have given the map some ridiculous performance issues, though.

The thing is newer Halo games will never become what Halo 1&2 were. Halo 3 took a hard turn for the 'modern'. The way these games' sandbox was balanced is considered old fashioned or 'compensation'. All the new additions and changes are just a reflection of where the FPS genre has 'evolved'
I would compare this to the Resident Evil series. 1-CV employed some mechanics (tank controls, overhead camera, supply conservation, etc) which I thought enhanced the horror aspect of the game. Now the series is turning to the newest 'technology' (over the shoulder, cover system, qta, etc) all of which came at the expense of things like intricate puzzles.
On Halo 4 though, does anyone else see redudancy in introducing a whole new class of weapons, promethean (they can't all function similar to their covy/unsc counterparts) ?
For example we now have a scope magnum, BR, DMR, Carbine, and whatever promethean equivilent. How will all of these carve out unique functions within the sandbox ?
tl,dr: shifting gameplay elements
