Today I learnt that Hydra is a dirty, dirty cheat on Carcassone.

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

... that would like slapping Bungie in the face. So no. That would be a horrible thing to do.

And then they can throw in an Easter Egg where a UNSC designer is talking about how they had to rush the Infinity after scrapping the design due to limitations.

Damn can't watch on phone.

Is this on YouTube somewhere?

[Arnie]

That pistol. Looks a bit ghastly.

Gameinformer: The Inspirations For Halo 4.

As I guessed immediately, the bonus short - "The Science Behind Halo" was much better.
The nano tech (while taken to arguably silly extent in H4, especially because they haven't been a big factor previously in the Universe to our knowledge) does have good roots in modern science, but my grimacing over their use was simply due to Metal Gear ruining the very mention of the word.

Also: Holmes with the Ico props, good man. Only played through it this year myself, in HD. Wonderful experience.

[Hydranockz]

Bask in the glory that is!

[Deadly Cyclone]

Hmm, the pic with the pistol has a bare (fingerless glove) hand holding it. Ability to take off your armor confirmed? Play as ODST/Marine confirmed? :P

[TheOddOne]

Not yet, sorry :(

[Major Williams]

Is Halo 4 going to have any sort of ADS?



I'd love it if they would. Just makes more sense to me given the way the models hold their weapon and shoot.

Not a call of duty one, just one that stays with the times.

[Steelyuhas]

Haha awesome, well played then. The actual dialogue recorded was simply amazing. I wonder who paid who to do what? They are both scratching each others' backs.

Not sure. I know that celeb guests get paid a small appearance few by the show for coming on, but I'm not sure about remote segments that are basically there for advertising Halo 4. Even if MS paid for it, I doubt it was very much because it basically hands the show a segment.

If anyone is interested in Conan, check out the documentary "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop". I just watched it last week and it chronicles the tour that they did after they were fired by NBC. It's an interesting insight into the guy, and is quite funny at times.

THE PISTOL!!!

Please don't suck.

[HigherLevel]

Why can you see his fingers? That's not Halo.

[StalkerUKCG]

Its not fingers its red team armour plating

[Bornstellar]

The fingertips are colored on the Spartan IVs.

[Shadders]

Halo related, got this in the mail, pretty exciting:

Ooh that's a great book, really nice collection. I have the collectors edition, it's well worth getting a copy if you can find one, the signed prints are glorious. The Eddie Smith one of Chief having his armour assembled is one of my favourite pieces of Halo art.

I did a review of it earlier in the year: http://www.littleenglishhaloblog.com...ey-art-of.html (loads of images)

[Tashi]

You see? MLG is fun!

GGs nerds, thanks for getting on to play with me.

[ViewtifulJC]

Zoom in on the baby, the facial expression is funny

[Gabotron ES]

Did Wu ever answered if the build he played had the retarded and pointless text showing up in your HUD?

[HigherLevel]

Oh ok. From that pic it looked skin color.

[Bornstellar]

"One does not simply play Halo 4!"

[ncsuDuncan]

Mancannon in the back? Looks like you can also see two ordnance drop indicators.

[Steelyuhas]

Don't think he mentioned it, but based on what Domino said about his experience in the showcase, it definitely seems like something that is there to say (he did say that the text in the Conan video was much small than what Domino and Devo saw at the showcase).

[Aggrotek]

The fingertips are colored on the Spartan IVs.

Probably a visual cue to remind you subconsciously of what team you are on.

[Stinkles]

Just watched the Conan skit with Frankles, and I know I'm LTTP. Was he really that mad at Conan? Or was it just part of the sketch? It was funny either way. You could cut the tension with a knife. And you could tell it was like 8am, all of them looked tired. Him and Ms. Wolfkill looked legitimately upset at him trivializing his role in the crew of the Infinity.

He came in, sat down, we told him about he and Andy's "roles" - he thought about it, then told us what he wanted to do and we played along.

[GhaleonEB]

That was the first thing I noticed as well, it looks like a different glove design.

Chloe is really cute. Can't believe daddy dropped an f-bomb right on her. :lol

Halo 6: Finish the War

[thezerofire]

maybe those aren't fingers, but they're red armor?

edit: beaten.

[ElzarTheBam]

Pookyhonto agrees.

Put your peeny away.

It has a very specific point: to fellate the player.

Not saying I like it, but people today like having constant, pandering reassurance of their amazing, irreplaceable value to the world.

Halo 5 to award participation trophies to every player in the game so they don't feel bad.

[StalkerUKCG]

Your ruining the magic.

Yeah kid is awesome.

Its the same gloves all the fingers with the exception of the index finger (see "pulling triggers") On the MJOLNIR light variant have little metal caps on them, its red team player so its red coloured caps.

Edit, Lilt is the nectar of the gods, new and old

Good games guys.

[Tashi]

Awww what a cute little girl :)

[zlatko]

I'm by no means pro, or even good at all, but I've found a good technique is to shoot for the body first, then the head as the shields pop. Shooting the body does the same amount of damage as the head, but is a bigger target, so combined with bloom, should allow more bullets to hit, even when shooting faster. Another good tip is to crouch as it tightens the bloom mechanic by a decent amount (when shooting long distance, this is almost mandatory for me). You can also try throwing in the occasional crouch mid-battle to throw a less dextrous player off. I notice a lot of the better players doing that, along with strafing, jumping and "Ghandi-hopping" (which is repeatedly tapping crouch while you jump to constantly change the location of your head).

Good stuff here. Thank you. I didn't know about that ghandi technique. You mean as I'm in the air during the jump to do it it will do that? Or as I'm about to land ?

[Hypertrooper]

How can you do that? Always when I see off-screen screens, I close my eyes and hope the video got shot at my room, turn to my tv and get heavily disappointed. 190Days. I'm feeling like Cartman already.

Wait a second is Chloe wearing a Scribblenauts hat/beanie?

Well, it's not like it's a far cry from what Halo's always done. Or Quake 3's medals, or UT's announcer and text prompts.

The thing that seems annoying with Halo 4's implementation is how it's on the center of the screen. Especially when "Headshot!" seems to be one of the categories, and headshots are a huge part of Halo's combat. Keep that thing closer to the top and it'll be pretty harmless.

[Dax01]

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's a mancannon.

The pistol looks weird. Also, is it pronounced "Eeco"? I thought it was pronounced with a long "I"?

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I always thought the pistol was a new weapon at first glance, lol. It a fair bit bigger than any iteration thus far.

[Zeouterlimits]

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's a mancannon. The pistol looks weird. Also, is how pronounced "Eeco"? I thought it was pronounced with a long "I"?

Eeco is correct. Japanese 'i' and such.

Sure, it's been in the past games, I wouldn't ever say Halo has been free of that stuff (I think some of the announcer stuff has gotten a little out of hand, to be honest). The placement is what gets me. It was weird in ODST when the medals popped up by the reticule, it's weird now. It makes Reach's medals appear positively minimalist by comparison.

It just reminds me of Call of Duty 4 having a +10 appear for each kill, then Modern Warfare 2 moving to +100 (every score was multiplied by ten, so it was 7500 points to win instead of 750), just because people responded better to having larger and larger numbers appear on screen.

[Aggrotek]

I'm with you.

They're just pointless and it has no place in Halo, why adding that stupid looking text right in the middle when you can have a beautifully made medal in the to left botton of your HUD... WHAT'S THE POINT?

It better be toggable.

Yep, was suprised when dad pulled a F-bomb and she was like "Eh, this is nothing new".
