Halo |OT9| One Final Effort Is All That Remains

Sparkcast Updates
So thruster pack was originally going to be the Promethean teleporter. Glad that idea got dropped.
Also you used to be able to shoot while thrusting.
Jetpack has been significantly nerfed. Limit to vertical control and hovering.\
Hologram was improved. Shows up on radar the same as a normal enemy, gives enemies red reticle when aimed at and shot.
Regen Field: more like H3 regenerator than Drop Shield. Automatic healing at a reduced ate when inside. Less effective than H3 regenerator. You can still get 5-shot DMR kills on players inside, as long as you don't miss and give them time to heal. Shield deploys quickly, but tales about half a second to start healing. Designed mainly for supporting your teammates. Very useful in SpOps, along with auto sentry.
Auto Sentry: Makes a noise when it points at enemies. Used to follow you around the map and dominate. Pivots around a 180 degree area. Shows up on radar. Will definitely kill you if you stand still, otherwise more of an annoyance. Sentries always fall for holograms. You can jump and deploy it to use it to shoot over cover. Not super powerful, but a useful tactical tool. Disappears when you die.
Hardlight Shield is not a pause button, but changes the pace of combat for everyone. Lots of Armor Lock hate.

Guessing it would've been akin to Shadowrun's teleport.
Mechs walking around the whole map?? Holy shit kylej needs to be unbanned right now, we need to know if he's alright.Welp, there is the mech.
Valhall is gonna be interesting...
Yes! It feels like it's been forever waiting for this!

Thanks, posting from my mobile.
The interesting thing is that the mode shown is definitely CTF.
So the Mechs might not be there on Slayer.

Still wonder if the mech isn't a prop.

Wait, is that a kill cam in CTF? I thought it was only in Dominion. Or did they play 2 matches.
Sorry I'm a bit out of it as of late. My Grandfather died yesterday, so I've not been current.
The one disappointing thing about the Valhalla remake is that if it takes place in an arid environment, we won't get to see the water like the original.
Could just be a dirt road.
Also sand does not immediately mean no river. (Neither does an "arid" environment either).

Cocop with the teleporter-shotgun combo. What a nub.

Plus there wasn't any water where the player is looking in the first place.
Think i will wait until i see the mech in action before i decide whether or not they "ruined" anything...

Cool stuff, maybe my favorite weapons montage. Also, Solace looks cool.
edit: Or was that Complex? I don't know anymore, haven't paid attention to the news over the last week or so.

Nice ending. Love the suppressor.
And got a nice smile on my face at the choice of music. Until my ears started to bleed that is.

Assault Rifle user gets owned in the end
balance has been restored

AR users are getting pounded at every angle with the way H4 works.
Not sure if the Mantis is the guy being made on Adrift, but either way these are essentially more armored walkers than the Cyclops we saw in Halo Wars, which were repurposed exoskeletons for MJOLNIR.

Are those Halo 4 branded Apple headphones?swag swag swag
Kyle must be losing it....
Someone had to fill in for him.
Uh, read it all. I definetly prefer slightly shorter weekly updates.
Still, interesting, cool stuff.
I'm very doubtfull of the Suppressor's usefulness. The AR and the Storm Rifle simply sound better in everyway.
It doesn't even look good.
Ah, well, i guess the game has enough choices, not liking one weapon doesn't matter.
