Exciting.
It's a weird thing to say, but I like the female Spartan's face. So much better than whatever her name was in Reach.Some stand out pics:

So now Frankie recommended to start Forerunner on Normal instead of Heroic. I am happy that the counts of my deaths will never be revealed.
As you may notice on those new beautiful screenshots I am bad at describing things. At least you get a pretty cool view on Complex which definitely looks a lot better than everything from Mass Effect 2-3.
Does Complex play an important role in Spartan Ops?

The objects have some similarity.

Anyone in the Netherlands/Belgium has a site where they're ordering The Thursday war? I usually use bol.com but I can't find it there.
Ground texture is lacking, IMO.
I thought I was the only one, I can't find it either.
Same. I would prefer a 3 year gap between Halo 4-5.

Weird. Normally, bol is pretty good with that stuff. You know any other reliable sites?
We just got pics during night, no build-up or anything?
Nice. Positive surprise, like it.
The Flood looks interesting. Certainly an improvement over green or black players in Halo 3/Reach. Not very scary though. Or particularly disgusting (though nothing in video games disgusts me really).
Now, gotta check them all.

- Waterstone in Amsterdam says it will release in 29 days.
- Proxis.be does have it too, 7 to 10 days wait period.
Can't find anything else.
I very much doubt this refers to SWAT or Snipers. It won't be a classic playlist though, just stripped from some elements of the game.
Also, the Flood look like they're ripped straight from Doom or something. They look way too... clean? I don't know, they don't look like they're infected at all.
Be careful of what you wish for, we don't want the ending leaked before the release.
Hmm. I wonder, maybe i should go to blackout till Nov 6th. Morrowind and World of Warcraft will keep me well occupied.
I was wishing for french fries, what you talkin' 'bout.
We wouldn't want to know what happens to the french fries. It is going to be some gruesome end anyway.

Uh huh. Regardless, I still have my doubts.

Fuck. Those screens. Can't believe we've got just over a month to go!
I've tried to not let the hype get to me, but...screw it. I am excite!

In the end, they become freedom fries.
Yep, they have a strong melee claw and enhanced vision.
Uh, what? They have perma Promethean vision (well, without the recoloring) or something?
I believe that's what I read more than once. Can someone back a brother up?
Apparently it's an increased FOV.

Bulletin should be good tonight! I hope they go into detail regarding the flood multiplayer mode, as well as a Promethean Weapon Trailer with added Wub-Wub.
Fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed.
Oh...
Well Infection and Grifball are what define Halo so I'm happy they dedicated their resources to both

First thing in going to do when I get the game is go into campaign and stare at the visuals. Damn the game looks good.
I wonder if they classic Grifball and Infection gametypes are still around.
RIP CTF ;_;
And you can only use the melee that comes with the skin. BALANCE!
Screens are a thing of beauty. Ready to see those new Forge environments.
I'm also ready to get some info on their Bungie Pro equivalent.
Wish the combat forms looked better. I think the things that are bothering me are the less-whiplike claw and the fact that it doesn't look like the infection is sprouting out of the character--I loved Halo 2's Flood because it was the first time you could actually see how it pushed aside the Marine armor.
I guess the lack of over-armor is just so they don't have to deal with all the armor permutations, but it still seems like a misstep.

Congrats to 343 on the completion of Halo 4. Most of those screenshots look gorgeous. However:
This is not the Flood.

CTF? Get out you BK.
Infection and Grifbal have existed since Halo CE and are gametypes that require tremendous skill.
CTF is just some noob crap you play to boost your K/D
Still no visible secondary weapon in the HUD?
Ahh, ok thanks. Haven't been around here much lately. :/

Well, it's an improvement over not having any sort of difference for infected players I guess. I don't think they should be compared directly to campaign representations because they're being designed to accommodate gametype needs and being played by people, but I'll agree that the aesthetic of them is very unlike the Flood we've known.
Frankie made a post mentioning how that came about, but yeah secondary weapon isn't going to be there.
At least they are happy. So happy.

Haha, we get the idea Gui! But you're right. While everything looks great, I wish their multiplayer a was little more focused. There are too few maps to work with such varying gametypes. I like normal team slayer and I feel like Reach kinda shafted me there. 4's maps are hopefully better in general, so i won't mind as much playing the same 5 maps over and over and overdoz.
So, there's still some things we know exist in some form or another that we're still waiting on a reveal for:
- 2 new vehicles (unless Mantis is one)
- 4 more MP maps
- 2 more Forge environments (and additional pieces, color schemes, tools, etc...)
- Groups
- Ranking system (?)
- Detailed progression system breakdown
- Challenge system
- Theater
- Bungie Pro equivalent
- Custom game options
- Spartan Ops customization (beyond difficulties/skulls ?)
- All skulls
- Full medal list
(Additional new game modes like Dominion, revamped CTF, etc..?)
What else?

It was a bug but now it's a feature.

It was found to have been redundant. Players would have always just switched to find out or simply remember they had it. When shrinking the secondary weapon icon, many silhouettes looked too similar to one another.
