Is Solace supposed to be a 4v4 map?

 

[GhaleonEB]

Pretty sure 343 has never mentioned anything about there being a classic playlist. A stripped-down playlist yes, not classic. Big difference.

Yup. And I hope there isn't one.

A playlist with fixed load outs would probably do it. Maybe put squads of 5 against each other.

At least, probably best for 5. Can't wait to see some CTF matches on it.

 

[Merguson]

At San Diego Comic Con we announced that this season of Spartan Ops would include 10 episodes (or weeks) of content, which includes 50 missions.

That's very impressive.

Based on previous reports.. each mission is suppose to be 10 to 15 minutes.. that's at least 8 hours of content. Even if we reduce that to five minutes... that's still hours of content..

Can't wait.

 

[Orochinagis]

Oh man, grenade indicators....it will be in MM too?

 

[Talents]

Halo 3 isn't "classic" Halo. All those energy balls!

Where did I say it was?

 

[Striker]

Yup. And I hope there isn't one.

A Slayer playlist with fixed load outs would probably do it. Maybe put squads of 5 against each other.

re: Solace size

It did look as small as Adrift and Haven, maybe smaller because of the way the flags were set. In the Josh Holmes CTF video, he hardly used sprint but the game was over within five minutes with all captures.

 

[The Librarian]

Was referencing an article that confused Scarabs for Wraiths in a Spartan Ops mission. Don't read anything else into that.

I wasn't, haha. It was building off Frankie's joke, so I knew. My post was meant to be a joke as well.

Yep.

It looks kind of... huge.

 

[mhi]

Yes, the first season is free.

Thanks. Can you comment on the number of tentative seasons planned ?

 

[Poker Face]

Pretty sure they already said if it's well liked they'll make more seasons.

Yea I'd really like to know this as well Hypertrooper. And great job on everything, it all looks so good! *drool*

I don't even remember what HaloGAF's beloved Squad Battle was, but that's what I was trying to reference.

They want you to become a better marksman, big, they're doing this for you!

Then let my aim be the deciding factor, not risk-management.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I opened up Reach and discovered I once made a shitty Forge map named Requiem. Let's hope Halo 4's Requiem is better.

Spoiler

I'm damn good at coming up with map 'descriptions', though.

 

[lybertyboy]

Oh, that's no lift, but feel free to try and use it come launch.

 

[nillapuddin]

I really hope those weapon indicators will show up in forge, like, alot.

Some bullshit change for the sake of change...

I don't think very many people actually like this change, I know most of the people here don't, including me.

Hyper, I'd remove that link.

Scans is a no no.

could you pls remove the link

 

[Amazing Mic]

I mean I understand if there's some reason they can't talk about these things yet; I'm really just curious about when we'll know. A week from now? On release day? The latter would be pretty disappointing, 343!

I'm honestly surprised the question hasn't been answered w/ even an "we don't know yet."

 

[Arnie]

Wait, why's there flood infected there?

 

[Trey]

Everyone who quoted him, edit. We must save this blessed fool.

 

[Der Flatulator]

This is from probably my least favorite film.

 

[Beckx]

I love the kill cams. I don't care if they are supposed to be bad because they are in other games, too.

I like the new jackals too.

 

[nillapuddin]

French.

 

[Slightly Live]

According to the french magazine:

• Mech is called the Mantis, playable in campaign
• New game mode called Flood (think Infection x100)
• Flood - 2 infected players, 10 non-infected, 12 total (Flood infected Spartans shown)
• Infected players have deadly claws for melee damage and enhanced vision

Multiplayer update to infection.

hmmmmmm

I remember wanting something like this since Halo 2.

Then let my aim be the deciding factor, not risk-management.

Just for giggles and shit, I'll play devil's advocate and argue for a form of bloom present in Halo 4 (not necessarily the bloom we got in Reach), along with the other firing mechanics like spread and recoil.

They're in place to modify the skill gap so that its diminishing effect is mitigated, while the gain of more players having "fun" is maximized.

 

[Fracas]

So infection is awesome now?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

It will always be the MechaKylej to me

and that's cool if you're an Infection player, I suppose. I'm sure it'll be the most popular playlist in Halo 4, like it was in Reach >_>

 

[Beckx]

FOTUS armor in action?

 

[Ragnarok Flames]

Anyone else see the black banshee?

 

[Beckx]

According to the french magazine:

• New game mode called Flood (think Infection x100)

I just fainted.

Dammit. I've been okay waiting til November. But this is the final straw. Want now.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Zombies actually look like zombies? Fuck yeah!

Multiplayer is canon.

Gotta love it.

Finally, changes to a gametype that don't make me cry manly, salty tears.

Here's hoping zombies don't die from 1 headshot like they have previously.
