Halo |OT9| One Final Effort Is All That Remains
- Thread starter GhaleonEB

You will not be surprised. There is no particular mystery here. Game is going through certification so your guess is not unreasonable, it just isn't "official" yet.
I'd say that has more to do with the power weapon/map combination than anything. The Laser is incredibly powerful on both Standoff and Valhalla because both of those maps are very open. Same reason you see people waiting in line for the Sniper on Hemorrhage because it's essentially a bunch of a free kills.
How many times do people have to explain that Forge World's size had nothing to do with lag issues? Your Xbox is not rendering the parts of FW you can't see.
its sad that the "reveal" of such a simple thing is dictated by the marketing department.
I guess, but I think that philosophy works well if it's a neutral location, not deep in one team's territory. Who knows if it's final, but there was a global ordnance laser spawn ten feet from the blue base on Exile where it was a SAW or something minor like that at the beginning of the match. I just don't want to run into a position where something vital to the outcome of a match comes in where I have no feasible way to approach it because it's intrinsically more difficult for me due to where it spawned. I can only speak from my own Valhalla BTB experience, but making a push into the other team's base area and trying to get out quickly seems like it'd be incredibly difficult, especially if they're aware of what I'm going for. It'll certainly be interesting, if nothing else.
I don't think it'll be a common occurrence, to be clear. Just often enough to be annoying when it does.

Often times, if permabanning someone, we'll ban them until the end of the Human-Covenant War. ;-)

the disappointment i would feel if it was a just a waypoint feature..
thats good to know.
does it mean if you don't have 8 gigs of free space you can just play campaign from one disk, and would have to switch if you want to play multiplayer though? if you can't answer this question now pls make sure its in the bulletin when you do address disc uno and dos

At this point, it's more of a question of where DIDN'T he play it.You ever gonna tell use where you played Halo 4 at?

If we don't see Ragnarök tonight I hope we see it some time next week.

By the way David, I wasn't frustrated. It was more social commentary to quell the masses.
Thanks for answering/replying at least.

Not at all. A project the size of Halo 4 has a lot of moving pieces so that necessitates a proper process to ensure that all information releases are factually correct and accounted for.

True, and that just makes me jealous.
Ironic you say that considering how many times you've shown stuff to the press only for them to state things that simply aren't correct. I know that's not your fault, just thought it was kind of amusing.

One thing that kind of bothers me is that we have yet to see one BIG map. The closest we have seen is medium-large. I hope at least 2 of the last 3 maps are big.

We're not in the habit of completely throwing out existing script codebase. Though, as you'd expect we've made copious updates to allow flexibility on the back end.
i can fully understand why its necessary, but that doesnt mean i have to like it.
its the same with the voice acting stuff: why is there zero information when it comes to the german/french/itaian etc. dubbings?
You ever gonna tell use where you played Halo 4 at?
In a cold dark basement in Hamburg, filled with chains attached to the ceiling. This is literally true. It was like Gahiggidy's Disco.
We still haven't seen a small map either. :/

Can I just get the MP disc?

That would be nice, but I'd have no problem playing the PAX build again. Somehow I never managed to play Infinity Slayer or try out Longbow.
Hopefully enough 343 devs will be at NYCC for yet another GAF/343 humpday challenge. That CTF match on Exile was a damn good time.

David or Frankie, I have a question if you could answer-
Could Flood/Infection be mixed with Dominion so that humans have fortifying bases as the match goes on?
Could Dominion be mixed with Assault (or something close to it) so each team has a fortified base, and when the bomb is planted and goes off the base reverts back to unfortified and has to rebuild?

People have invited me to games before. I don't believe anyone here has been actively avoiding me, and if they have it's not like there's been a shortage of people to play with. When I do play Halo (which is very rare this past year) I just tend to jump in by myself out of habit. And, I'm not any worse with a downer attitude compared to anyone else on here.
I am currently satisfied by this answer-while-not-answering because of the limitations of what can be said.
I am guessing I would be incorrect if I were to say "the gametypes that Halo 4 ships with is all we get for the game's Live matchmaking lifespan".
Vahalla...... That map was a steaming pile of shit in halo 3... (at least in anything that wasn't big team battle or squad battle) Hopefully it plays a lot better in halo 4.
Unfortunately, I feel it will play the same, charge top mid, hold top mid, camp on top mid, proceed to win game.
Vahalla, aka what's map flow?

Is that what used to be called Wraparound? It's small, but still quite large for what I consider small.

Due to the speed of the game Haven is really small, Adrift too.

Not a fan of the killcams at this point. If they're weird when people are playing on lan (?) then they're going to be even worse online. Hope they get axed.
I don't think you're going to get small as in midship/lockout in H4

Damn, that's a shame, the smaller maps are always some of my favourites.

Yeah I really hope the medals are in the NYCC build. I don't get why they've been omitted from all the gameplay videos released so far.

Adrift certainly seemed smaller than Haven did when I played it.
