Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
It's there, but you'll only ever take damage in extreme cases.

That he did. And, unless I'm wrong, there are other people formerly of Retro working on Halo 4.
How many Spire hights tall for death? Is stun present?
I would post tearsofjoy.gif, but I'm on mobile.
So like falling of the spire in reach?

EDIT: Ghaleon, any chance I could get either one of these in the OT circulation? :lol

Think man cannon+jet pack.
Is there a situation on a real map where fall damage can kill you?
And I couldn't get into Metroid Prime. Got lost, got stuck, gave up. Not my style of games to be honest.
I was going to say, I never noticed. Which I now realize is something I rather like.
I don't recall taking any fall damage, though I did do some large leaps. I reflexively crouched on impact as with Reach to soften it. Can you say if that still helps, David?
Not sure I follow. You mean like the height you get from Spire mancannon plus a full Reach jetpack (IDK about Halo 4's jetpack) off the top of that?
Also, what about stun?

I find this to be my perception of the UNSC weaponry, their sounds give off the impression of energy weapons to me. Like a layer in the sound effect accidentally removed that actually gives me the sense that a bullet is being fired out of what I'm holding.

It does help, but you're not going to take damage jumping around most places on our maps. Can't guarantee there isn't a jump somewhere that would cause damage, but I can't think of any.
Whoa that's pretty substantial shit. Very nice.
Just a heads up for anybody interested, ogre 2 is streaming halo ce right now. http://www.twitch.tv/ogre2
Looks like he's playing 2v2s against roy and lunchbox, too.

Great to hear. Like I said, I never noticed on any of the maps, and I did some jumps that would cause damage in Reach.I think it just helps explain part of why movement around the maps was so fluid. I can't ever recall getting snagged on anything, or stunned by a fall. Good stuff.

Kinda unrelated to the topic at hand but I was just admiring the cutscenes in the press kit download of the ViDoc. Just looks unbelievable.
Has 343 commented on how long the cutscenes are? Like if you added them all up it would equal to X amount of time?
I believe Reach was about an hour or so.

Just watched the direct feed video. Holy. Fucking. Shit.
That audio man...that audio. Christ almighty. Between the sounds the player is making, and the sound of complete chaos on the battlefield, I wasn't sure whether to slam a car door on my boner or go into shellshock.
I don't know how anyone could complain about the new gun sounds. Although I have to question whether or not there is some in-joke at 343 about the DMR shitting on the BR, the BR still sounds ridiculous, like a sputtering lip noise, while the DMR sounds almost like a bomb exploding every time it fires off a round.
And I think the announcer sounds fine. This audio assault is going to pump me up big time when I'm playing. Cannot wait.

How about this one?
Has the fall damage and stun changed since this?
Well that is with decreased gravity soo..
1) higher jump height, bigger fall
2) not a jump you could normally make.. dat gap would swallow you

Is there a new direct feed video I missed, or is this about the broll that was released a couple days ago?
You are missing the point entirely and overthinking this.
Gravity settings wouldn't matters after you are out of the zone, that would make no sense.
It would make sense for it to switch back to default as soon as you are out of the zone.
The zone was only about 10-15 feet high, he was outside of it half a second after he jumped.
The jump height doesn't matter either, you could easily find a place where you could fall the height of the peak of his jump.
For example; playing on forge maps, using a tall mancannon, or hopping out of a banshee.
That is the only time we have seen a normal fall that would lead to a death.
I am wondering if it's like that in it's current implementation in Halo 4.
It seems about the same as Reach from that GIF.
So, David or Frankie, could you guys please be more specific and elaborate?

Jump crouched?

A few things I noticed.
Ghost took longer to accelerate.
I liked bumper Jumper.
Jessica is very nice in person, Frankie is manly.
Thruster pack is awesome.
Heckfu smuggles kids in his suitcase.
Halo 4 is more about better shooting and less about melee everything.

Sweet thanks.
Lol is Jessica not nice online or something? Hahaha
I love hearing about less melee. I've grown to dislike it in Halo

Did anyone just watch that battle for OS on OGRE 2's stream?
/wrist
No matter how long it takes, now matter how much I personally have to bitch.. Powerups WILL return as pick-ups to Halo somewhere down the line.

Make it happen 343.. Make. It. Happen.
Love this.
I don't know, how would you even tell? ¯\(°_o)/¯
You couldn't possibly have fun with the game unless your e-peen is stroked?
Like when playing on Super Cragmire.
I feel like blowing off some steam and picking a direction from the Sheraton and just walk that way for a while. Roommate suggested we walk in the direction of the hurricane for some milkshakes. Good idea?
