Well worded. Keeps us on our toes. :lol
Just watching the Guardian videos. It could be my imagination, but the game looks noticably more polished here than it did in the beta.

For the new page. I was hoping there would be footage of this. The fire effects are pretty.PaulRTC said:Have you guys seen the videos of Guardian from PAX?

I'd recommend going full screen with these videos (diagonal arrow button at the bottom right of the player) so you can see what's going on better - their video player is actually smaller than the source videos' resolution.
It shows the firebomb in action - both being stuck to someone and thrown on the ground to create a temporary blockade of fire. You also see the flamethrower in action, the flare equipment being thrown (it's thrown like a grenade, so it seems we should be able to get some good distance on a throw, which is good), the sword (plenty of lunges occurred) and a plasma turret being detached and used as a support weapon. There's quite a lot of stuff here that we haven't before seen in videos in terms of weapons/equipment, in addition to the fact that we've never seen Guardian itself in motion. Oh, and there are birds flying around in the background - nice touch!
The players are using the names betaFrankie and Lukemz, but the commentator calls one of them "MNC Dover" at one point, and they don't seem to be very proficient (just like every other non-Bungie player we've seen in videos! - though not nearly as bad as the Sandtrap guy), so I think it's just random crowd members playing against each other. The crowd seem to react to what's happening on both screens while the video only shows one screen (the one playing as Lukemz) - I thought it was weird when they cheered as the Lukemz guy was just walking around with an AR until I realised the other guy had just picked up a sword or something.

I'm surprised no one recognized it immediately, myself included.

If Jones is very very annoying and dorky, then yeah it might be him.urk said:Is that Jones doing the play-by-play?
No, there are similarities but it's not him.urk said:Is that Jones doing the play-by-play?
Chinner said:Really like the video. Flame bombs and flame thrower kicks ass. Whoever playing isn't very good though. Ive got a bad feeling they've made the AR weaker though. It's a pretty useless assumption as he doesnt fire or kill someone with it, but it appears to be shooting faster but sounding kinda weaker unless its been so long since the beta that I've forgotten
Karg said:Based on the video I doubt that, whenever I saw them use the AR in either video they couldn't aim with it. Always ended up shooting walls and what not.

Chinner said:Yeah I know, thats why I said it was a useless assumption as they didnt really use it. Basically I'm a AR whore and I hope they haven't messed with it.

Wow yeah, it does look a lot like the ODST, sweet! Here's another comparison:

Kuroyume said:The Guardian videos were hilarious. :lol People were cheering every time one of the players came across a new weapon, or and old favorite. That map looks like it will be an awesome slayer map.
Yea I figured he might be talking about the spiker.NJ x Falkor said:It was probably the Spiker.
The article also says "Among them was a sweet flamethrower that would roast anything nearby. Interestingly, the camera switches to a 3rd person view when using this weapon,"
:lol
