People really need the HUD to remind them that they're carrying a flag?
I don't really care about the secondary weapon being gone, but the reasoning is strange considering all the other stuff 343 has added to the HUD.

Damn it! Going gold != In certification!
Certification = Sent to MS to 'certify' the game.
Gold = Released to Manufacturing (Gold master is the disc that is mass produced)
They're close, but not the same!

I remember the days, where I couldn't afford an Xbox 360 and I was nearly every day at a friends house. One day we discussed the Halo 3 campaign and I was asking him , what happens at the end of Halo 3 and he was like: "Master Chief takes off his helmet and half of his face is flood and half is human." Pretty good troll, back then.

Man, I just love the black visor outline they added, really makes it look like you're looking from chief's perspective. I really wish it wasn't omitted from multiplayer.
Bungie thought so.
Both coddle casuals, so it is weird one was axed, but it's whatever to me.
But both largely irrelevant in 2012. It's still not coming out until Nov. :/
I miss the days when gold meant shipping soon.

last minute addition: Steitzer reminds you of your secondary every 13 seconds.

Damn what the hell did I miss last night? Mad spoilers in THIS thread (thank goodness but why are we still posting Campaign pics and info in here?), so much drama (<3 monster and kittens, why was Tunavi banned?) and dmg changing his avatar so now he doesn't remind me of DeadNames anymore lol
Either way, good morning ;] - Any updates on that Sparkast?
Also, I didn't think Bravo could keep up the humor this time around, but he did hahah - "HONEYCOMB!"

I think people need reminding of the role they are meant to e fulfilling as an obective player. Yeah, while holdng the flag in your hands you can easily tell you are holding the flag. I see that as a kind of flexible software design. Is it Speedflag that lets you carry the flag on your back whilst holding a weapon in your hands? You would need that UI overlay to tell players they are carrying the flag for sure.
Other than that, perhaps there are players who need to be told that the flag is the objective and that by picking it up they should be aware of the role they have inherited.
It's easy to pick this apart from just a CTF perspective but this UI overlay is being used in Regicide and Oddball as I'm sure it will be for a myriad of other modes. Having a clear visual indicator of their role in the game where the player may not find it as intrinsic as seeing the flag they are clearly holding is super important in the bigger picture . Not just CTF

"YOU DIED WITH FULL ROCKETS, YOU FUCKING IDIOT."
AT LEAST BLOW UP YOURSELF AND DENY AMMO
Am I the only one that likes to piss people off and run away from them firing the sniper rifle into the ground so they can't get it when I die?
Please tell me I'm not the only one

I remember when Zelda OOT was about to go gold, I didn't realise that it was literally about go gold! : )
Steitzer troll track - I would pay many space quatloos to have that as DLC.
So we can have 10 letters for our overhead service tag now? I can't wait to see what those unique snowflakes who use "WEED" in Reach come up with.
Dagnabbit you young whippersnapper, I had to learn about Zelda I being gold in a Xerox'd, corner stapled newsletter from Howard Phillips.
You're way under-estimating that percentage.

Don't really do it with snipe but I do try an waste rockets. On Pinnacle I sometimes just jump off a ledge-- they still get the kill but it still seems like 1/2 of the players don't actually realize where they spawn.

I'm not sure the reason they gave, but I'm sure the reason is because they simply had no where to put it because now they're showing the outline to your visor. That part of the HUD just doesn't fit in anymore and I always knew they weren't going to add it even though they said the E3 build didn't have it since it was just an earlier build..
Pretty lame IMO because in so many videos do you see people drop their primary weapon (probably subconsciously because they think it'll just be moved to the secondary slot). Maybe I'm overanalyzing that, but it's what I always thought whenever I'd see a good player drop their primary rifle for a power weapon while accidentally keeping their Magnum lol
Yeah, I'll jump off the map if that option is there if I've got a power weapon that will give the other team an edge. Giving them one point is better than giving them 12.
Hasn't been loading for me all day.

Yep, Joe Wieder is doing weapon design for Halo now.
YOU'RE ONE SHOT - JUMP OFF THE MAP TO KEEP SNIPER FROM ENEMY.

Would pay for Steitzer to announce "ONE SHOT ON MY X" every time I die.

I kind of wish they would wait to do the Promethean weapons until sometime in october (one weapons trailer per month) hopefully they talk about solace and complex as well.
With it out of the way we get more new stuff then
new caption picture of the week! omg i missed it! can't wait!

Does it? I have never looked to the secondary slot for the ammo. Guess what, I switch to it.

ME3 & god tier don't belong in the same zip code, pass that crack.
Max Payne 3 was amazing for the dialogue alone, best voiced character in the industry, hands down! BL2 is actually becoming less fun the more I play it, I really hate the lack of challenge in the game.
I need Halo 4...
Late response, but the main reason I said that about ME3 and the others is mostly because of my co-op/multiplayer experiences. Some of the best I had this generation.

Curiosity strikes: If they included the bits of the physical helmet pressing up against the outer edges of the HUD from single player as seen here into multiplayer, would any of you have found it objectionable?
I don't think I would have hated it or anything, but I think it looks better as is. That's a great detail for campaign, but just more clutter on an already fairly cluttered multiplayer HUD.
