Those Prometheans are tough guys on Heroic. And damn the third mission is a lot of fun.

Halo |OT9| One Final Effort Is All That Remains
- Thread starter GhaleonEB
- Start date
you got the chance to play it?
I can't get myself to care about cosmetic upgrades. I see enemy Spartans from enough distance, and CQC is so chaotic, that most of the time I can barely tell who has what. I only notice my armor in Reach at the menu screen.
I don't think most of the helmets are very good, but like Ram said there's only so much you can do to make a ton of them without messing with hitboxes.
I just hope I can cover myself in bullets again.
Context?

It's not the fact that we've known it, it's the fact that it's in.
IMO, jetpack was more annoying and overpowered than armor lock. I'd rather go against a team of ALers than a team of jetpackers.

The one that comes with a blue polo chest piece.
Yeah, from what we have seen I think jetpacks will be far less annoying. The levels we've seen seem to have a much bigger scale to them with less places for jetpackers to "hide" in by flying away. My favorites are the people who jetpack straight up when getting shot and make themselves an easier target.
wat?
Barrow Roll is going to need to get a whole keg because I'm marking the hell out right now

I don't notice so much in game, but I love making screenshots & screenshot stories, or viewing others' shots, and that's where the different helmets really stand out.
The armor really pops in the shots we've seen, cannot wait to start making screenshots.
Frankie, you've added the ability to export screenshots without going through waypoint, right? Right?

I actually really dig almost all of them, and a few in particular are really awesome. I'm just all for the variety. People who care enjoy more to choose from, and people who don't are completely unaffected. Win/Win.
For me, the more little pieces like armor that they add to the universe, the more robast and greater it becomes. That's what I care about.
Unfortunately, you can't...
There's one chest piece that has a few pouches on it, but that's it.
still post of the yearIf I had the chance, I'd do this to Frankie's face:
With no underwear on, and right after I took a shit. Lying bastard.
I bet the ranking system will suck, too.

Wear the right hoodie and you can talk your way into any media event.

I like more than half of the helmets, but I'm probably only going to ever use scout. I might occasionally select one of the weird ones in order to troll people. Like if I am randomly paired up against some GAF folks again.
As for jetpack: it does look weaker, but with sprint it seems like it's just as likely to ruin map movement/flow.

Just be a pre-order bonus to have the omitted from the game.
The episodes are 15 minutes a piece, no?
If they're, i think i'll wait till they all are released and watch them all at once later on.

Another thing to consider about the customization pieces are the machinima makers, who love having a good variety to work with when telling their stories, whether serious or comedic.
One thing I really like about the new chestpieces is how they change the look of your thusters as well. Some of the thrusters look friggin SICK.

I have never seen they're used like that, and they all add up to be 90 minutes I believe so that sounds about right?

Top 5 favorite helmets in a fairly particular order:
1. Vanguard
2. Engineer
3. Operator
4. Gungnir
5. Tie between Wetwork and Venator
Least favorite helmets:
1. Hazop (Good lord)
2. Warrior
3. Eod
4. Defender
5. Fotus
For reference if you care about my opinion at all:
I for one really like the non-visor helmet look. Very futuristic and badass.

I believe there are 5 episodes at 10-15 minutes apiece, with the full/extended version you get with the H4 LE coming in at 90 minutes.

Recruit if the standard edition has it, Operator if not.

Standard edition will have recruit. It's pretty much confirmed at this point.
Recruit is still the best looking IMO, which is weird since I've never liked the default helmet.

Good. Close as I can get to my beloved ODST *sob*
I understand that one, but given the levels of passions about the armor around here, you'd think everyone was one.

It will also allow for over 100 XBL friends. And the ability to "list-label" friends

I don't get the QTE talk. Maybe I consider QTEs something else, but what I saw in the video looked more like a first person platforming segment than a 'button icon on screen' QTE. Maybe they are one in the same.

What does this mean??? What language are you speaking??? How do I list-label? Am I already list-labelled? You damn kids today with your fancy techno-terms and gadget-babble.

I mean the ability to group friends based on what you play with them, or how you know them.

If I loved Tsavo Highway, I'd be in heaven in the Spartan Ops mission "Land Grab".
Favorite MP map? Not sure. Can't decide between Solace, Haven, Complex, Exile, Adrift or Longbow.

Some of those helmets.. *head in hands*
It's a QTE without being too insulting about it. As long as there's only 4/5 of them in game so they're not over used and obvious, I don't mind it.
It's thankfully not a blatant QTE but calling it platforming, I'd struggle to call it that (with how I understand it) either.

Oh, well then...that sounds pretty cool.
What he didn't tell us: the hoodie came with a copy of Halo 4 sown into the back.

I asked Frankie per pm because of their German visit and if there is a possibility to play it here so I don't have to "waste" money to fly to London :/ especially if it was in Hamburg .

Disc two will be an 8 hour loop of Frankie's childhood videos. Before the kilt it was a tutu and before Master chief it was Sir Hugs A Lot
They were once inseparable friends... now... many years later... they have become mortal enemies in a world wide battle of teenage angst.

I believe there was a plan to record one at PAX, but it just never came together/drinking was more important.
Regen field is really not an issue, I was terrified of it, so I used it a fair amount and it's not bad. It doesn't prevent you from taking damage and being killed by standing in it, and the animation to deploy is lengthy, if you try to poop one out to save your life in a fight, you will surely die.
Jetpack is nerfed, but still a jetpack.
Maybe Flood mode? Groups? Disc 2? EVERYTHING!?
Will probably just be a nice recap of recent reveals/
I am doing a live demo. Campaign. It could go sooooo wrong.
