Gotta love the people in Cocop's video using the jetpack in corridors just bouncing up and down. :lol
Where'd ya go?Louis Wu said:When I left (on Thursday), there were about 1100 posts in this thread.
Now, there are over 4000.
I've gone through all of them, and will be summarizing the new stuff you guys mentioned that HBO didn't already touch on soon. Thanks!
They give bonus cR to get sweet helmets and codpieces,Trasher said:What's the point of these Commendation Medal things that pop-up every now and then?
It's as they described. One melee to pop the shield (no matter if its 100% or 1% of it left), one to kill, no matter what (besides with the sword).EvaPlusMinus said:Bumping this back up on the new page. Is there any changes to how the melee mechanics work, or was the giantbomb fellows talking out of their ass?

The big shield mechanic that is different this time around is that if you have just a sliver left of your shield, a melee will not kill you in one hit. Their shields must be completely gone in order to kill someone with one melee.EvaPlusMinus said:Bumping this back up on the new page.

Correctamondo. In fact if you use the flashy shit you could be killed and they could live, so it might end up costing you.EvaPlusMinus said:So it's still instant kill in the back regardless of using the flashy shit or not? Awesome.
Captain Blood said:Also, tapping the button for a melee from behind will be an instant kill while holding the button with trigger the assassination.

Simultaneous beatdowns did not work fine. =/Grimm Fandango said:As a self-proclaimed melee specialist (#1 tool of destruction), I'm not a fan of the new melee rule. I thought it worked just fine in Halo 3.
Hopefully it won't throw me off my game too much... I don't have much left if that's gone :lol

Did you snag me that gobstopper I asked for? Hmmmm?Louis Wu said:To Candy Mountain, with Charlie.
I am curious if it will take more rockets/laser shots as well.soldat7 said:Edit2: Uh...how many nades does it take to bring down a Warthog now? Ugh...
The warthog in the Waypoint video, if that's what you guys are referring to, took one sticky and then one plasma launcher to blow up. The nades before didn't stick the vehicle.Captain Blood said:I am curious if it will take more rockets/laser shots as well.
soldat7 said:Wow...just now rolling in. Looks like I'll be watching videos for the next 30 minutes. Awesome.
Edit: Colonel Campbell? Uh...Didn't know Ryan Payton was involved.

1v1 to 10. Snipers/BR's: Lockout. Bring the pain.Tashi0106 said:I can make it until the beta. It's not that far away.
2 Minutes Turkish said:One thing concerns me from the video I saw.
That focus rifle needs SEEEEEEEEERIOUS nerfing. You just point, paint and within a second or 2 they're dead.
I mean jeebus fuck. Surely that's going to be tweaked in time for the Beta. I mean, if it's obvious how overpowered it is in videos, then it must be hell to play against.
I never saw it kill someone before it overheated. Seemed like it would take the player's shields down, overheat, and then a teammate would finish them off.2 Minutes Turkish said:One thing concerns me from the video I saw.

oh hell yeahDani said:Right, going to throw this out early.
Anyone wanting to hook up with other GAFers during the Beta, use this Gamertag. Via the Friends of Friends and Active Roaster, come Beta time you shouldn't have a problem finding folks to hook up and frag with.
Add GT: HALOGAFBETA
(that's all caps!)
Thought it might be a good idea to start filling it up early. If or when it reaches the max friend limit, we'll have another ready.
Feel free to use it. =)

Aye. It looked like you needed to paint someone for an entire burst, up to the overheat, in order to land a kill. If they dodge much of it at all, they live. I suspect it will annihilate anyone on a Jetpack, but Sprint/Armor Lock/strafing looked to shake it just fine.Trasher said:I never saw it kill someone before it overheated.

You SHUT YOUR MOUTH!Son of Godzilla said:Just like the needler! Oh...
Wait--what? D: I missed this.GhaleonEB said:I'm liking the touches to the vehicles, such as turrets overheating and the Wraith going into its shell. The Wraith being able to turtle up is a nice way to balance its inability to dodge missiles and the laser.
I know for real, I wish I could just brush it off, when I get behind, but Halogaf threads( I have to read every post) it's a disease!:lol :lolLetters said:My condolences man.
