Frankie please change the Halo 4 currency name to Wape Rubles thank you in advance.

As you rank up in Halo 4 you can change the name of the currency to whatever you like. Each type of currency has its own economy and exchange rates. There's going to be a stock market trading mini game.
 
Who the hell (besides Tashi) actually cares? Also, I could have sworn I read that shields will be recharging faster in 4.

The fuck? Is this a troll post or something? I do. I fucking care. Pulling off an extermination is one of the sickest feelings you can get in Halo. I assume it's cut for Slayer now that you can spawn instantly? What a fucking joke.

They need to suck it up then.

This from the guy who wants exploding flags to prevent teams better than his from capping consecutively.

Makes it easier for bad people to get kills. I was going to say it destroys the concept of map control, but H4 will probably have the same randomized spawns as Reach so unskilled people will have it easier there too.

It also makes it easier for bad people to die over and over again. Games like this (all from today)

Or this

Or paired up with them again!

These sorts of games will reach the 50 mark even faster. I can imagine a scenario where a BK dies by teamshot, instantly respawns, attempts a sprint beatdown on his recent assailant only to be teamshot to ribbons again. Rinse and repeat for neg 30 in a game to 50. Will the fabled trueskill even be viable in a drop in/drop out environment?

No comment at ranking debate, slightest mention of Stietzer and he's straight in there.

:eek:

We will not be talking about ranking or progression in detail for a while. We are not using TruSkill in the same way Reach did. That's about all we can say for now.

Suffice it to say the game will match people appropriately - Tashi to Kyle, for example, and me to WalshOgreSkrillexTwinBlains.

And me to Derp McMouthBreather?

So you mean there's actually going to be Truskill?

Improvement over Reach right there.

Thanks. Appreciate the response, really. I understand the timing of such detail divulgence is outside of your control. Hope the new system works and hope it provides enough stimulus for players who aren't interested in Spartan Points (XP, Credits) to keep playing from game to game and feel rewarded for their abilities.

GAF has been fed well this weekend.

Didn't Reach have TrueSkill too but hidden and pretty loose?

I believe Bungie said that Trueskill was everywhere, but because some playlists had low populations you couldn't expect it to work that well.

Only places that were challenging were Arena once you got into Onyx and MLG because all the tryhards live there.

He's the new sound composer, dude

Nope. Although I had been using Skirllex (and the headbanging gif)as a shortcut for wub wub for months without ever actually listening to him. Then I did and I actually like his stuff. But our princess is in another castle. That narrows it down. Again, composer isn't going to be a surprise per se, but you'll hear more about that (fairly) soon, with a very cool video to accompany it.

I realise this is what I would expect to hear, but all the same, brought a smile to my face.

Iiiiinteresting. Not a suprise per se makes it odd.
More indications it's the Massive Attack guy? Or what? Because wouldn't anyone but him or Tajeen be surprising?
(not asking you Frankie, just wondering aloud)

Watching Formal play Halo 3 from earlier today. Struggling a bit with the sniper. Funny how different sniping and BRing is in Reach. Leading BR shots is still absolutely terrible.

Makes Snipedown's unrelenting wape with the sniper in H3 even more impressive. Ima watch Snipedown: The Movie and throw a few chairs tonight in honor of that legend.

Glad to hear it, Frankie!

Frankie is the composer. He makes the beautiful music that you love to listen to. Sometimes with a South American skin flute.

He was just waiting for Marty to leave so he can strike.

As long as it isn't Hans Zimmer. I don't think it is Rippy as he works at Bonfire Studios. Jack Wall would be nice, that concept art trailer very much sounded like something Jack Wall might do.

Was the concept art trailer music made for it specifically or was it a piece for Halo 4?

I'm not in my prime. I'm like a fetus right now playing Reach. Three people from HaloGAF still play this game I just want to dong every night and everybody is watching My Little Pony or whatever.

I wish we could know approximately when we will find out who the composer is. It's one of the major aspects that I'm excited (and at the same time anxious) for.

People want to hear the musical version of Mister Chief. The beats must be liberated.

You have to grow a pair and play past 10PM. What kind of little kid are you working day shift anyways don't you greet at Wal-Mart?


Oh my someone is testing MLG Onslaught and it looks so good. That was my favorite MLG map in H3. Hope they can get it into Reach MM.

I don't really like MLG in Reach though, I gave it a try but MLG hasn't been good since it was Team Hardcore in H2.
