hoping those texture pops arent final
I've been noticing the texture pop ins aswell, I just didn't wan't to sound like a whiner. I've been bitching about that issue in Reach the past few years. It gets really bad in Reach during split-screen, hopefully Halo 4 won't be as bad split-screen with pop-ins.
love that boot to the ass right at the start

Nah, there were images of blue ones before this change and if I remember right, before E3.
Edit: This one specifically was released at E3.
The E3 trailer had orange Proms in the gameplay and then blue ones in the quick scenes after. Don't think we saw them before E3. Did we?

Do we really need a pointless video about something which was not even worthy of discussion? I do not get it.
I didn't say you were saying Forge should be cut, I was talking about how you wanted community maps in MM cut.
My post wasn't suggesting jamming a bunch of poor maps into MM at all. I suggested that good maps be integrated into core playlists in a reasonable manner, not in abundance. And weighted lower than studio maps.
I'm actually more on your side than you think... I thought I was pretty clear on my end.
Edit: signed up at THC. Someone in the Forge section doesn't think too highly of me... Figured I'd give him the opportunity to express those thoughts to me directly.

I have longed to observe just this type of thermodynamic miracle. Thank you.

Anyone want to try and guess why we have two Promethean colours?
In watching the Forerunner ViDoc and other released media it seems during all daytime shots the Promethean Knights, Crawlers, etc are orange and at night they are blue.
Maybe it is coincidental as that seems like a rather basic unfleshed out reason to say the least.
Spent a whole night in Team Slayer last week. Played two games against full jetpackers on Uncaged. Was really satisfying to beat them.
(I wasn't alone. I might not have been as happy without a full team.)Jetpack doesn't bother me that much. Sprint + sword isn't much worse than Halo 2 sword lunge (remember that?). Grenade spam... yeah, that annoys me. But seriously, if you're going to call grenade spam 'cheap tactics', how long is it gonna be until people are talking about the 'cheap DMR headshotting'?
It's part of Halo. Always has been.
Different missions man (Halos don't have dynamic day/night so it isn't really a good reason, IMO), i reckon all the scenes with blue Proms are from the same mission. Most likely another Promethean faction.

For me, I really only see jetpack abundantly used on Uncaged...maybe every once in a while on Asylum or Countdown. But Uncaged...that's a jetpackers paradise.
Pinnacle.

Powerhouse is probably the only map where AAs work well

Just saying what I have noticed and am curious as to whether or not there is any correlation. I hope there is a much more involved reason as has been suggested pertaining to the story and lore.
Good games OddOne, I thoroughly enjoyed stabbing you!
Ha ha, you came out of nowhere.
Sorry, I can't be in Halo 4, Karen Traviss kills me in her next book.Regarding the return of The Arbiter. I think if he was in Halo 4 we'd have heard something from Keith David by now, it feels like we're always getting snippets from the voice cast.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was killed off in Thursday War.

If Arbiter gets killed off, it better be in-game.Regarding the return of The Arbiter. I think if he was in Halo 4 we'd have heard something from Keith David by now, it feels like we're always getting snippets from the voice cast.

Sounds like something Traviss could do. Of course this would be under 343i's instructions, i think. I hope. Still, it is something that should be reserved to in-game situation.
I have a feeling that if we don't see the Arbiter in Halo 4, then we'll see him or hear of him in Halo 5 at least. Unless 343i goes retard and kills him in the books.

I'm just gonna dissect this and say that you have a higher tolerance for crap than I do. Maybe that comes with age(and constant bombardments of age-related jokes)
Jetpack bothers me because I earned moving up to the Sniper on Reflection. But because Rando uses Jetpack, he can ignore the fact that I earned that position and start shooting me while my shields are still recharging after killing Rando's guest. To argue your own point, not all games of Halo 2 with a sword had people being ridiculous with it. It was prevalent because it was a bug, not because it was an option built into the game. As for grenades, it doesn't help that they are more powerful in Reach than in any Halo game before and you start off with 2.
As for me, I can't enjoy Reach MP without a full party any more. I can barely enjoy Firefight after 343i axed Doubles(there's now no way for me and my roommate to enjoy FF Doubles without having to deal with Rando and his 56k connection host).

I'd be stunned if that happened. It'd have to be particularly well written, incredibly well written for me to accept it happening like that too.I wouldn't be surprised if he was killed off in Thursday War.
this.I don't think that 343 would kill a important character of the last two mainline Halo games in a book
I'm pretty sure the vast majority of playlists start you with one grenade, not two. (If the only real problem is Team Slayer... why not just stay away from Team Slayer?)

I'm pretty sure you're incorrect.

So you're saying there's still a possibility he's in.
Someone get this Xeno-fellator a fucking cookie.
I gotcha bud, 10lbs of whey in my kitchen. I got all da protein you need for your face.
For the record, that's not where I thought I saw Arbiter (and it probably wasn't the Arbiter there either). I find it hilarious that guy decided to make a video based off of it though.
I'd be really surprised if he's not in somewhere.
It's green where you water it tho
