I can't wait to camp outside the enemy team's base entrance with a Mantis on Ragnarok. Doing a flag run? NOPE *stomp*

To be fair, map weapons in Halo have always been subject to change, much less with the new weapon spawn and ordnance system.
fin
Maybe it's just ordnance. Besides, there's a chance it will never spawn again.
You're literally confirming everyone's fears. GG.

DMRs, Spartan Lasers, Mechs. Dax is wiping away tears hearing all this shit.
No, it's not your fault. However, that doesn't mean that AR starts play better. What I don't get is that in order for AR starts to "work," (I don't think they every really work) the majority of the playspace needs to be close quarters. Whats the point of having a large map if its essentially a bunch of tight quarters?
But that's the point; it didn't work with AR starts. Thats why they made it BR starts.

Can you expand on this a little bit? Is it as bad as Reach or were there any noticeable changes?

You can jump off an edge, and then thrust back on the level, if that answers your question.
I think so. You go the direction you are pointing the thumb stick at the time you engage the ability. I want to say I used it to backpedal away from someone who had a sword, when I had been moving forward. But I can't recall if I came to a full stop before reversing or not.
That'll do it.

Wow, the OXM preview bit about Cortana is kinda shocking.
That sounds potentially amazing...

"I'm so SICK of being a plot device!"
Cortana wants to revise her contract with the Halo universe.

I'm kidding. Besides, Wahrer Machine in the War Machine is a very easy target to take care of. I probably wouldn't even notice if people hijacked me if I was just waiting outside a door. Just have one of your teammates text me so I go afk for a few minutes. :lol
I would only do this in a party full of GAF members where we already had map control.

Oh cool, I know that guy.
Edit: Pretty good commentary actually. Thrust and Flood poking stick seems powerful, hopefully the sword isnt as good with thrust.
No. fin!
Also, are those slightly whiter parts of the sky clouds, or the arms of an Ark?

Lol real reason Bungie made Reach and tried to kill Halo, they were salty.
I'm being Sarcastic^, just dislike Reach

Neat to see the infected flying all over the place like that. Certainly gives a more hectic feeling.
I think we are missing large chunks of this story. I don't feel its accurate at all. It doesn't reflect Bungie's past and present attitude.

Via theory crafting Valhalla does seem like a bad idea with the DMR, but I took some time to think about it again. Long range weapons promote more strafing and maintaining the encounter range rather than rushing forward. The DMR may actually promote more use of the sides of the map forcing a better dispersal of combat around the map. And with weapon ordnance it can only get better than H3. In the end theorycrafting will only get you so far and actually playing will tell you more than anything. Even just observation of footage can only go so far.
Regardless, Ragnarok is an awesome name. I love Norse mythology... I'm one of the few that enjoyed Too Human. lol...

What you appear to be circling is the central spire of the base and not a mantis as to what I think you think is there
Just saying
Unless you're just pointing out the fins lol

Yes. The full interview is available online and you can read it here.
IGN is like the Sun in video game journalism.
Exactly. Effective long-range weapons allow you to actually use more of the map, promote more intelligent movement and more intelligent use of map angles and LOS.

It kinda looks like a Banshee, too.
Also a UFO.

He's just pointing out the fins on the base. They weren't there before. Clearly the remake is ruined by their inclusion.

I was trying to find a fun way to say I'm not sure how I feel about the fins on the bases. Guess I failed miserably.He's just pointing out the fins on the base. They weren't there before. Clearly the remake is ruined by their inclusion.

That didnt really give much more information.
Im actually pretty shocked that Bungie would have acted like that. Also shocked that Halo was forced on them and they had to change theyre game to accomodate it. Suddently the vast change between the first trailer and the full game is a bit more apparent.
I personally love Halo Wars and still play it, shame that behind the scenes it seems like so much douchbaggery went on whether thats from MS, Ensamble or Bungie.
Sounds like something outta Lord of the Rings.
Oh wait, Asgards that place where all the gods gather right in mythology or whatever, seems like Haven would suit the name Asgard better.
Wait, are you serious?
