I like how it even says it during the melee kill. Then it proceeds with "MELEE KILL" and "+15" milliseconds after. Talk about sensory overload.

 

[senador]

That definitely looks more like sparks and less like Grunt b-day party confetti.

All still applicable. Minus the new map reveal.

Man, sucks that other modes don't have dynamic music like the new flood mode. I think the music will add a lot to the feeling of playing it. Already got a sense of that from the video.

I'd like the music in the loading screens and game finding process as well. It gets pretty boring during loading screens, even a mini game would be sweet.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Anyone remember how they changed the line from 'You picked one hell of a day to join up' to "welcome to reach"?


Such a letdown :'(

I hope the script is a bit more... badass with halo 4.
but prolly not. no cussing, there are babbbbbies who play halo

Well the rating for Halo 4 has gone up a notch, perhaps this is indicative of the new darker more mature tone we're supposed to be getting. I personally hope so!

There has never been an audio slider in the options menu for an FPS Halo game. I wonder if 343 will be the first to apply such an option.

I've been posting the same thought on Waypoint for a while now. I'd like volume sliders like this:

1. Music
2. Weapons
3. Voices
4. Cutscenes
5. Ambient noises

I don't have fun on those maps without Jetpack. They are just bad maps.

But of course, jetpack is terrible and ruins map flow.

Abandon looks pretty unfocused. I don't know much about making good maps but it's too sprawling. Just a bunch of trails and passage-ways surrounding two off-looking bases.

And that front area's reminiscent of Spire which is discouraging.

Combine Midship, Spire, Backwash and Guardian.
One base is like Midship bases, many ways out or in. The other is an open area, like the Spartan spawn in Spire Invasion. Backwash and Guardian for aesthetics, with human buildings. And the rest... well, something.

Beatiful looking map. Looks like it could be awesome for one-sided modes but whether Halo 4 has those is unknown.
Team Slayer and FFA Slayer will probably work fine on the map, if it is as balanced as 343i claims.

Me, i like it because it looks like it offers a lot of oppoturnities for close range weapons. And general melee/CQB chaos, if the gameplay is remiscient of Halo 3, i will thrive there. The more chaos, the better for me.

EDIT feels like one of the HaloGAF crazy-nights, though this time this place turned into a poetry corner.
