Hologram is interesting. I like the idea of messing with players using it. However, it rarely does...
I think the hologram should display the GT of the person who deployed it, and that it should only take half of the "energy" to deploy one.
The rest of the energy could be used to confuse the enemy even further. I'm thinking... after you deploy a hologram, tap the bumper again to have to hologram "fake shoot" in that it looks and sounds like it's shooting the weapon you had, but it doesn't damage anyone.
I don't know, maybe that's silly. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there.

different perks activated
Perhaps not a conflict. The first reads like a comparison to the Reach DMR optimal firing rate, once the reticule has fully reset. The second sounds like a comparison to the Reach DMR's maximum firing rate. I take that to mean, the locked firing rate of the Halo 4 DMR lies between the two.
Well 343 said it fires slower than the Reach DMR at what I figured was max speed. However, I'm guessing it shoots faster than the Reach DMR full paced with bloom.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Those statements (as I read them) are not in conflict.

I would assume one person was comparing to zero bloom max ROF of the DMR to the ROF of full vanilla bloom reset.
So Halo 4 DMR fires faster than Reach's full bloom reset, but slower than Reach's max DMR ROF.

That's what I'm getting out of it.
I knew that would happen lol.

I thought so, too. If the DMR fires slower, but has the same (or faster) reticle bloom reset, then surely the bloom would seem like it doesn't effect shooting as much.
oh you
Okay, makes sense now.

Hey 343, feel free to drop me a line if you ever need super secret Spartan Ops testers.
I'm both a 34th degree Freemason, Greater Poop of the Paratheoanametamystickhood of Eris Esoteric as well as a Master Chopper in the Woodcutters guild.
I've also killed a man with my bare hands.

I'm going to put out a possibility:
The Halo 4 DMR does not feature bloom. However, the reticule expands upon firing and resets fully in lockstep with the fixed firing rate, the same way the Reach sniper rifle 'bloom' works. In that sense it's not so much bloom as a visual signal for when the next shot can be fired.
That might explain why people felt bloom was in, but didn't notice it affecting their play.

Oh, duh. The address is right there. :lol

I'm gonna guess Omaha, or at least that's where the hyvee was. ;p

I thought they'd avoid bloom like the plague after the reaction to it in Reach. Brave of them to use it again.
I'd prefer that to be the case but, as with the Reach sniper visual bloom, it's completely pointless.
Please be no blooming reticle on the Halo 4 sniper.

lol, they changed the name of Forerunner Vision? The internet can be influencing thing

In all honesty, it still sounds bad. The name that is.
What is it with you and pedantic gay jokes?
How does that compare when playing online against people a couple thousand miles away?

I think just Vision would be a fine name, Promethean Vision is just too wordy

If that's the case, then by all means, 343i. That's great.

Woah now, I am not pedantic, if anything I'm more didactic.

Shit I got 4. Who wants one?
Now you are just simply making up words.
That's been my approach all along. *brofist*
I enjoy picking apart the new details, but I'm not going to get worked up about anything until I've played it.
While I do see your point with Promethean Vision being a bit lengthy to say, an AA just called Vision would be pretty hilarious haha.
¨You may have a jetpack, but I have VISION¨
That's fast become mine too. Trying to second guess the play experience from these shallow puddles of misinformation is counterproductive. My bar is set to Reach, 343 shouldn't be sweating.

If all of the above is true, the Halo 4 DMR fires slower than the Halo Reach DMR (paced I assume), and the BR is slower than the Halo 4 DMR. Um, what?
Exactly, Reach has my Halo standards so low that it would be really hard to go even further down.
The more info that comes out, the more I just wanna play it for myself. At this point I'm close bursting lol. I don't even have a real opinion of the info released so far.

Yeah that's probably the approach I'm going to take from now on.
As Karl pointed out (
) Omaha, Nebraska. My cashier today was a woman dressed up like Pink with pink hair and had "P¡NK" as her nametag. Nobody else was dressed up or anything so it wasn't a theme day or anything... I just checked out and left as quickly as I could :lol Her real name was on the receipt, so I had no idea wtf was going on.xxjuicesxx

Did any of you think that they probably got to play like maybe a couple games at most and probably dont even recall what was going on correctly? More importantly they are glazed over by the "I got to play the game early" effect, so whatever their opinion is, is pretty much completely irrelevant.

That's kinda how I've been lately. Each piece of news is making me care about the multiplayer less and less.

I kid you not sir.
A sensible approach, but I kind of find it funny that the most positive views about H4 are fom the people who have actually played it. But that could be down to playing an anticipated game early.
While I do see your point with Promethean Vision being a bit lengthy to say, an AA just called Vision would be pretty hilarious haha.
¨You may have a jetpack, but I have VISION¨
Abbreviated it doesn't sound too bad, you have jetpack, I have PV.
Okay, good point, thanks.
I'm gonna think about this a little more (school literally starts the day after PAX ends), but I am definitely leaning more towards "yes go to PAX".
Note: I am also super willing to room share. I am a small guy, and a light packer, so i'm good with just a sleeping bag and my backpack of clothes.

Yeah righ. When that multiplayer vidoc comes out, ya'll gonna be the FIRST to post impressions and talk about what you saw.
Wow, that sounds really bad.

Evidently I missed out on a lot of fun in the past few hours but I really think kylej is getting unfair complaints thrown at him.
He raises a fair point, one that I'd thought about previously and agreed with.
The impressions were positive last time around too. We even (mostly) enjoyed the beta and the final game at first. The problems weren't immediately evident to most.
Also being somewhat cynical and not giving 343I blanket benefit of the doubt (after Anniversary & Reach's playlists) is fair.
ANYWAY, Tojima is a total badass and his contributions to the game are going to be fucking awesome.

Also a sensible perspective. Less of the die upon the sword to condemn or defend 343I.

Oh, for sure. I'm still going to look at all the information and hope that my worries about the game will turn out to not be a big deal.
