Hmm I thought that screen was from one of those powerpoints that also brought us gems like:
and
Wow. So purty.
It's the glorious announcement trailer armor!
Never forget.
Damn, seems I can't forget. I liked the "concrete" armor. =(

So I'd just like to applaud Frankie and team for a good job on community involvement.
Really.
The love and effort Bungie put into HaloGAF has been met with the same amount of care and reception by 343i, and it hasn't gone unnoticed. I was a bit apprehensive with Microsoft completely taking over Halo, and I feared a 'going under' of sorts for community involvement - a more CoD or GoW approach to things. But it has been quite the opposite, and I'm quite pleased as a regular consumer of all media that has been historically output. I feel like more than a customer, like my feedback matters.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
I'd feel better if they actually listened to the feedback on how much bleedthrough is screwing with Reach's feedback system. But at this point I'm almost prepared to hear something akin to "85% bloom and bleedthrough are tied together", like how the DMR and NR are tied together for bloom settings for some reason.

We are diverse people with diverse interests. And feelings that can be hurt. You swine.
Nice try, but we're still not offering the pro pipe as a helmet varient.
come on, you work for three hundred and forty three...surely you can do SOMETHING

- Pro-pipe helmet.
- Needler arm.
- AR arm.
Two out of three ain't bad. Can't wait for Halo 4.

DMC = Dax May Cry. The new top title by Capcom.Nice try, but we're still not offering the pro pipe as a helmet varient.
Would this really surprise you with how everything seems ludicrously tied together in Bungie's programming?
Bloom probably IS tied together between the DMR and NR, and I'll bet by allowing melee to bleedthrough, bullets have to as well.
Well, there's what Bungie set up and then what 343 did to get them working as Megalo hooks.
I would have minded the TU settings a lot less personally if the DMR was 85% while the NR remained 100% and bleedthrough didn't exist. The sword blocking is one of those things that's honestly an either way thing.
But I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that bloom modification and bleedthrough and the sword buff came as a package. I'm HOPING they're all separate flags.
I had an idea that I'm going to repeat for posterity: what they should have done was make all 85% bloom gametypes have a label called BLOOM_AMOUNT. You apply the BLOOM_AMOUNT label to an invisible object (ie, a hill) and then you assign a Spawn Sequence number to it, and if the gametype detects a such-labeled object it overrides the default bloom factor of the gametype. Want 0? set it to 0. 50%? put it at 50. 150%? 150. Negative numbers would just be treated as 0, of course.

I'm guessing that if we don't see/hear anything new about Halo 4 this week then we won't until mid-January because of the Christmas + New Year's holiday that everyone gets off?
I want my guess to be wrong so badly.

I leaned closer to my computer screen and the gif started zooming in at the same time.

That was awkward.
Other than the crotch though, it looks awesome.

That Guilty Spark Shirt looks nice. How much they want for it? 80MSP? Maybe I should wait a few weeks until HaloWaypoint gives away thousend of them. :/

Okay then, how do you feel about titanium pajama butt flaps?
I'm indifferent about the analbumcover, just pointing out that there's now a more literal plate stuck to his butt

Wait. He has a butt plate but not a cod piece?
Random is random.
Random is random.
Master Chef sure has a gut. Forerunner donuts confirmed?
*salutes?*
we went from hot lesbian grinding gifs to close-ups of Master Chief's junk.

We are that desperate. There must be some Precursor technology in Chief's junk.
That junk is smooth like Frankie's head. Frankie has 7 letters in it. 7. Lockout has seven letters. Lockout confirmed for Halo 4. 4 + 7 is 11. "September 18" is 11 characters.
September 18, 2012 is Halo 4's release date.
Seems plausible, now post it in the gaming section.
Btw I really want to post Halo 4 in this thread.

On a more positive note, I got Waypoint working on my phone thanks to Hirednoobs
Mine too, sans the buttplate; at least its not too terribly giant and egregious.

I don't think I've weighed in on this before, but I would just like to say the Halo 4 design of the Chief is my favourite from any of the games to date.
/dance
I was never the biggest fan of the Master Chief, but his designs were always iconic, they were statuesque. This one, at its best, looks like an impressive scrap metal sculpture in comparison.

Wait that weird flying thing from Halo Legends has recently been turned into an avatar item? I actually hope that thing doesnt appear in Halo 4, just didn't seem right. Unless its just part of a cool one off like the Space Combat in Reach.
Reminds me of the things from Star Wars, those things where cool. I just dont see how they fit into the Halo gameplay. Maybe im looking too much into it.

Must say, the Waypoint app for iOS is extremely disappointing.
No access to the Waypoint content, just Challenges & ATLAS? No thank you!

It has stats and game history stuff. ATLAS works as advertised and is kinda cool, but I can't be looking away from the main screen in the middle of a match so it feels like a waste of $5. I'll just look at those $5 as a donation for the fund to get Frankie a better car or something.

My other critism is that it doesn't seem to be built for iOS, it's basically very similar to the web page.
It's slow, cumbersome and just not very 'app' like.
I'll be using it to check on the propipe spawn when I am playing BTB; well, when I'm dead anyway.

Woops, should have mentioned that too Letters, indeed it does.
Also true, but I could live with it if it had the Waypoint content I was interested in.

I like how they try to make Chief more detailed but the torso, shoulders and helmet look weird to me.

I like that's he more... monstrous and bulky.
This Halo Wars dude (massive image) is more appealing Spartan design for me than anything in the Bungie Halo games.
