Chaka from Land of the Lost is in teh Haloz? It all makes perfect sense:
As long as the AI never drives you around... then yeah, put boats/subs/skimmers/etc. in campaign. Just don't script the AI

The joke. YOU MISSED IT TOO.
Regardless of my distaste for everything Reach, I will admit that I had a blast playing with and against you guys. Those were good games, you guys made a huge comback in the second game to force game 3 and it just felt good to play some games.
I agree, which Is why I still maintain that CE did grenades the best. The timer was based on the grenade coming to rest, not just hitting a surface like in later games. This allowed them to be extremely versatile for a skilled player, but not auto nukes if they were thrown poorly. You could avoid a poorly thrown grenade 100% of the time if you were aware of it being thrown.
I hate how poorly thrown grenades detonate in the same amount of time as well-thrown ones in later Halo games.
Kyle is a campaign nerd now.
Yeah... THAT's what kyle's post was about...
I think he was being sarcastic...

Because minimum kill times are useless without knowing averages kill times, difference between average and min kill times, effectiveness and average kill times as different ranges, ease/difficulty of use (reticle size/design, single/burst fire, spread, hitscan/bullet time travel, aim assist, aim/bullet magnetism), shots to kill/firing rate (probably more likely to miss more shots with the carbine because it shoots really fast).
Those are just some of the factors that you would need to statistically declare how good a weapon was compared to others.
Pretty fair impression. It's still a jetpack, but I think players will be initially shocked at how fast it runs out of fuel.

looks like its useful for the rare occasion where you can shortcut map design by jetpacking up a level. no longer a continual use with charge always present, i cant imagine it will be used as an offensive ability like in reach nor will it be used to break map flow anytime you want to. i dont see it being an issue for 4.
I really hope they remove the ability to fire weapons and throw grenades while using jetpack. It should be a mobility upgrade, not an offensive upgrade. With sprint and thruster you cannot shoot, reload, or toss grenades while using the AA. Why jetpack is any different doesn't make any sense.
And I still think it should be a simple double jump, but that ship has sailed. This concept would essential replace the grav lift from Halo 3.
Preorder Halo Fur through GrimBrotherTwoOneSevenSeven.cawm and get the SCOOBUH armor ability which allows you to bypass all underwater kill zones.
Not subtle enough now.

Yep, that's the use I got out of it. I could shortcut up to another level, but you certainly won't be floating over the level.

Would you kindly wear some anti-rapture Halo 4 armor with me?
No real need to spoiler tag the character name there. It's not something substantial to the plot or character development.
True. Could be a minor spoiler for those who haven't read Cryptum, but meh

343 should defiantly have a vidoc for new social features (if there are new social features) in the same style as this video
What is sarcasm?

A miserable pile of statements.
Momentarily breaking radio silence to inform the Rock Band HaloGAF players that Harmonix is now holding the biggest sale on Xbox Live. Over 1100 songs are 50% off

Well, I just realized that we'll almost definitely discover what the remake is on Thursday (the mp map remake) -- Frankie's doing an hour long session at the Eurogamer Expo AND we know the mp will be playable on the show floor. It also fits in with the timeframe for the announcement... if it's not live streamed, I guess I'll update GAF on the day as shit goes down. Hype.
Ranking system announcement!?!?!?!??!
in my wildest dreams
God dammit now I feel like playing H3.

Where was it confirmed that it is playable?

I think so.
I'm on my phone so I can't check but the Expo website confirms that H4 is playable and I am 99% sure it specifies mp in the corresponding story on eurogamer.

They are asking you when you arrive. Telling you "you have to do an hour for the Queen. Don't forget your Scottish roots!"
It's all fun and games until someone betrays you for the sniper rifle.
You should talk about your secret plans to release Halo Wars 2.
I'm really wondering how info is going to be dealt out from here on out. It'll probably be Weapon Video -> Map Reveal -> Invasion Replacement Reveal -> Weapon Video -> Forge BTS/Multiplayer BTS -> Launch Trailer Blowout.
I'd be a little disappointed after the update on Longbow and one of the Q&A being something along the lines of "we have a suitable replacement for invasion.
Unless all that was leading up to: "You can hold your pistol while carrying the flag!!11"

Are people actually expecting an Invasion replacement?

I always have trouble converting to metric time.
Going from pounds-mass to kiloseconds gets trickier with each time zone you cross.

Hopefully someone will actually ask about the ranking system. Except if someone did we'd just get the answer 'We aren't ready to speak about it at this time.' e.g. A few days before going gold they still haven't made the ranking system yet.
I have the opposite problem. I tell someone I'll go for an hour and as soon as you know it my "segment" is over.

They're allowing for dramatic pauses and gasps from the audience.
Un-vasion, where the opposing team brings back the core, rebuilds your base, then apologizes and goes home. Everybody wins!
I really don't know why 343 still havn't answered this question. BS Angel just gave me an answer that we will find out a week or so before launch. How am I suppose to decide if this game is worth standing in line for! I am 1000% fine with an invisible rank that I can only see (1-50), I just want a 100% confirmation!
