Sigh... Yes.

Guys I just woke up only to find out Frankie is in bed with me, wearing nothing but a kilt and a disc of Halo 4 hidden in it

I have a feeling this is going to be the best day ever

It's the new live-action ARG

The DMR in Reach is glorious. bad BTB babies who occasionally get wrecked on big maps cry about it, but it's so nice having a weapon that can nail people at longer distances. The H3 BR tapped out at like, 15 feet. Not surprised to hear H4 DMR > BR.

Now bring that setup to Boston so I can try it out plz.

[TheOddOne]

I was looking at Halopedia en noticed this:

That muthaphucka hung like a horse.

Psh. First people steal my Frankie avatar idea and now my bad jokes.

I should call the cyber police.

[The Henery]

Great update it seems for those who still play Reach regularly, especially the Firefight players.

It's really not. What have they actually added/changed? More grey maps. Updates to grey maps in BTB. Mutating 'Super Slayer' from its original intention (a TU Team Slayer carbon copy) to a mixed bag of bollocks in which ZB mingles with 85% bloom and more inevitably poor grey maps weigh it down further into poor population. They made the MM changes look substantial by giving a sub heading to each minor change but hardly anything was altered for the better. The Objective voting slot change was the one sliver of sensible, logical playlist management.

But... most importantly...

SQUAD DLC REMAINS VANILLA!!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Poker Face]

Now bring that setup to Boston so I can try it out plz.

Yes plz.

But I am glad 343 is reaching out to some community members for their opinions. Hopefully some good will come from it.

[Blueblur1]

Can we get a video of a match already?

[Woorloog]

Whoah whoa, Halo 2 play day? What's CST in UTC/GMT? I have a bad feeling i would have to be awake at night... awake part is not that hard, not making sound and playing a game is...

[Homeboyd]

$40 billion on the table

[HiredN00bs]

Double the normal win bonus is still a minuscule fraction of the game complete and random bonus credits in the game.

With this change, it's 40% of the game complete payout.

With quick matching, it's still more lucrative to finish games quickly, but in no less than 90 seconds (the time required to get a slot payout).

People that farm kills in TO are still going to continue that behavior with this change, and they'll walk away with more cR as an additional reward. Even if you devised a system that could detect a significantly superior team purposely delaying the game for the purpose of farming kills and awarded them 0 cR as a result, they'd still do it because their primary incentive is raising their kill/death ratio.

Track objective stats apart from overall stats, and omit kill/death statistics in lieu of objective-centered statistics and you remove this carrot that is encouraging poor sportsmanship. Hey, that applies to Grifball as well...

[Zeouterlimits]

CST is -6 I think, so 11pm is the planned time.

Might want to consider organising a Mumble server for it. Still cannot believe GFWL does not have party chat. MS are..

[Woorloog]

Gah, 1am here (edit depending on DST...). Well, that's not a big deal, i'll be awake most likely. Gotta leave chatting out though. If i join up.

[neoism]

Halo4 beta he said it

WAT

[neoism]

omg lol

I just remembered a dream I had last night. I dreamt I was playing Reach.. :( But that I found Halo 4s DMR.. I was unstoppable.... because I was the only one with it on the map.


I love the side view pic, but I'm still not used to the scopes look.

[neoism]

Did they say anything about DMR bloom yet? please be gone please be gone please be gone please be gone please be gone

I wouldn't understand them putting bloom on anything, they can use recoil or something, its just gonina fuck some people up if one gun uses it and the BR, and others don't. I thought it was said already the bloom was gone

[Hydranockz]

Looking forward for more details on what's been played.

[Deputy Moonman]

Looking forward for more details on what's been played.

No doubt. Where is Wu!!!!!!???

[Hypertrooper]

Team Slayer and FFA on Wraparound and Warhouse with pre-set loadouts. Or are you looking forward to impressions?

Here's a quick look at the new Forge maps. (list shamelessly stolen from Waypoint)

[kylej]

Also, as I've said in the past, if the BR and DMR have recoil, the AR better have 10x the amount of recoil.

[squidhands]

Do mine eyes deceive me, or did I just read about a motherfucking Firefight update?!

Yes. YES.

also looking forward to seeing KillaKC's post regarding his Halo4 experience.

[GhaleonEB]

*Wakes up, sees pictures with people playing Halo 4 multi and feels depressed.*

My reaction was one of excitement - they're letting folks outside the studio play now. Impressions and media are going to follow. More than media, more than trailers, I want to know what fans like Wu think of the game. Really looking forward to their thoughts.

[HigherLevel]

343i needs to make these two things happen

Halo 2 XBLA and Halo 3 PC Custom Edition

[Hypertrooper]

My reaction was one of excitement - they're letting folks outside the studio play now. Impressions and media are going to follow. More than media, more than trailers, I want to know what fans like Wu think of the game. Really looking forward to their thoughts.

I'm eagerly waiting for Mig's impression. :p

[Gui_PT]

HHHHNNGGGG gimmy videos!

I don't care if they're blurry, just gimmy!

[ElzarTheBam]

HHHHNNGGGG gimmy videos! I don't care if they're blurry, just gimmy!

I have some blurry videos for you...

[Gui_PT]

I know, we filmed them together

I hope Wu can say what he thought today.

[Shadders]

I bet the overriding opinion will be:

"Feels like Halo"

That should be the strapline actually - Halo 4: Feels Like Halo

[ElzarTheBam]

I know, we filmed them together

Wonderful, unforgettable night.

Don't get me wrong though, I am exited to hear what people think of it. Still, I wanna be playing it :(

/I am being a little child

[WJD]

Feels like Halo Reach

no

[TS x Massacre]

*Wakes up, sees pictures with people playing Halo 4 multi and feels depressed.*

Lol this, I have this strange feeling.

I'm extremely excited for Halo 4, especially after the impressions from the community members( especially Kasey how he said movement is crisp and aiming is solid.) but sad I can't be playing it. I love Halo so much, I just wanna plehhhhh!!!

[GhaleonEB]

This is one of the reasons I was so excited to snag my PAX tickets yesterday. :D

[Overdoziz]

no

Feels like Halo Future Warfare?

[OverHeat]

Living in Canada sucks I wanna go to PAX :(

[Tawpgun]

Just wanted to drop in and say fuck Boston. <--- Signed a Sabres fan.

Salt in the wound :'(

As for Halo 4. It was in NYC? Dawg I could have driven down there next week when I'm back in Connecticut.

More beta shenanigans in NYC imo. Invite average awesome community members like me imo.

[heckfu]

I think I could handle some H4 in Atlanta. Folks, let me know and I'll be there.

Next time 343 crosses the country like that, I hope they stop in Oklahoma on the way.

[Tha Robbertster]

All the awesome Halo GAf stuff happens when I'm asleep :(

Good news about 343 bringing people in to playtest Halo 4. Hope we'll see some footage from that soon.

Fingers crossed for Halo 4 being playable at Gamescom.

[Demoncarnotaur]

So after that small bit of pictures no more were posted? Also, has anyone posted a writeup of impressions or not yet?

Team DMR 4life

Blah, I like the new DMR's model, but its way too flat and solid in color. I wish they broke it up a little, either by making certain parts different colors, or by making the gun look a little worn out.

I just like this a bit more:

[squidhands]

Feels like Halo Future Warfare?

Gears of Halo. New cover-based warfare and you can rip off the arms of your enemies and beat them to death with it. Shotguns for everybody!

[Deadly Cyclone]

How do I get to my screenshots and videos now that BNet is not updating them? Are they hidden somewhere on Waypoint?
