I can't tell if you're serious.
Halo 5, brand new "Spartan Supreme" online service with the revolutionary "Choose 10 Spartan things" loadout system.

Smart glass bro!
It's definitely what I plan on using once I get it. I could also see Light Rifle carving out its own little niche, at least on large maps and if the user has that support upgrade that doesn't get them scoped out when shot.

If i knew what i was doing i would attempt to make an app that you can make and Save potential loadouts. then when we get more info update the database with the Pre-reqs of how to get the weapons
Perhaps my hatred for group clip viewing is because Trasher made me wait for this:

Same here. As soon as I unlock it, I'll be using the DMR.
Can we get scoped out when shot in Halo 4? I thought the upgrade thing was to reduce the flinching when shot?
Was it? I don't remember.

Yes, that armor mod you're referring to reduces your kick/flinch. You never get knocked out of scope.
Who else is master racing not getting any of that dbl XP if you buy cancer in a can/bag?
Sent PM about this so called stream. Where's mah reply?

For theatre it would be better for a YouTube type rendering service. Sure theatre is awesome for machinima and seeing the game in it's 3D glory but to just show your mates in the lobby a rendering service would perform far more reliably and increase sharing/load times.
It could even be a queue based system with notification and watchable during lobby or matchmaking searching. That system would be far more popular than theatre on its own.

I'll have a number of loadouts based on gametype, map, and just mixing things up, but based on my experience with the game, DMR will hands down be my go to.
Also, I'd be one of those people Bigshow stated thinking the BR is the easiest rifle to use.

Has anyone tried to redeem the Doritos/Dew codes yet? I'm attempting to do them now and I'm having some problems understanding how it works. I put in the codes on the DewXP website, created an account there, and linked my Xbox profile. It says I have 15 matches available (I bought 5 bags), however do I "apply" them now, or wait until the game comes out to "apply" them?
Yea, after watching gameplay, the DMR seems like it'll be my go-to weapon. It's nice that the BR's back, and it looks awesome, however I feel like the DMR will be more useful overall. The LightRifle is an interesting mix, curious to see where it fits in. As of right now, I really haven't thought much into what weapons/perks I'll be using outside of my main (most likely the DMR in most cases). I'll probably nab the faster-ranking-up specialization until I've unlocked everything, then I'll settle in discovering an all-around package that works.
When the game hits, it's going to be a race to complete all of the specializations and hit SR-130. I have a feeling I won't truly enjoy the game fully relaxed until everything's unlocked and max level is hit.

You must. There are definitely some AA's that work better than others for certain maps. The are some that work very similarly for most maps as well though.
If you have your XBL GT linked, you can apply them now.
Seems like Light Rifle would be the best for competitive play. Highest skill gap and learning curve out of all the rifles.

I will not be doing double exp points. Unless I find a bag or can lieing around from someone else. I don't really care how fast I unlock my crap.
Awesome, thank you!
I assume this as well, considering it has the ability to 4sk while scoped and is burst when unscoped.

Yeah, I'm not touching that junk. I'm looking forward to seeing it in stores, though. Makes the looming launch feel more tangible. Oh, and I have a housemate who drinks Mt Dew regularly, so I'll see if I can nab some codes from him.

To no one's surprise, wolves don't need dbl xp.
You need to be constantly aware of your actions when using it. When using the BR or DMR you can scope in and out with no issue. With the Light Rifle, when I scoped in/out mid firefight I got all lost.
Free Elite in MW3 already let you do that. IIRC the only things you got for paying for Elite were the DLC (which was the main thing), the two (?) stupid TV show things they put out, and being able to participate in Clan Challenges. Free Elite members could be in clans, but if I remember correctly they couldn't participate in or get the rewards from Clan Challenges. Everything else was free like the class setup stuff.
But I have no idea how on earth that relates to wanting to go "head to head" with Halo either way.

Reposting from the latest Vidoc thread:
If there isn't a Forge maps playlist after a little while, for the most popular forge maps, it doesn't seem like 343 are doing their job properly. A playlist showcasing the best that's out there, even after 2 months of release, makes so much sense to me.

Worked wonderfully in Reach.
The logical person in my wants to agree with this, then the memories come back...

If anything, Halo wants to go "head to head" with CoD considering they've taken most of CoD and used it in their Halo and the fact CoD is much more popular...

Based on the launch lists, 343 has a very different idea of what's good for matchmaking than a significant portion of this thread (thankfully).

I think the problem in Reach was that they forced those maps into every damn playlist. I'd be fine for a specific playlist in H4 for them. Also they at least look a slight bit different in Halo 4.
You could definitely make that argument. I just don't get how you try to make that argument using the fact that CoD Elite lets you create custom classes outside the game.

Sweet! One step closer to classic settings. About those settings though...
One could argue that 343 is being quite arrogant in their treatment of Halo 4's custom potential. I understand and even agree with the argument that a Halo developer should have a focused and enforced vision of their iteration within their matchmaking settings. What I don't understand is the omission of choice to create a setting akin to that of Halo's 1-3; will I have to wait for another developer to sweep in a year from now and patch on the ability to juggle a flag or turn off sprint?
343 had the confidence to take hold of Bungie's last Halo game and offer alternatives to Bungie's vision. They took out bloom and added bleedthrough (amongst other changes). One of the express intentions of this 'interesting functionality' was to appeal to and appease the fans of a more familiar style of Halo from years past. Consider this quote from Frankie on the subject:

To me, part of Forge's primary function is to allow the user to create, customise and personalise their and their friends' own Halo experience. Check out ForgeHub and the like in the first few weeks following the release of a new Halo game/Forge map and the first thing you'll see is practically every map in Halo history remade with every-original-jump-intact precision. These remakes, regardless of how pretty the new lighting system renders them, will be practically worthless now, museum relics to be seen and toured around but never to be played on.
What if some people want to see old, classic features and gameplay options (like, say, flag juggling and no sprinting) in Halo 4?
343 changed the code of a Halo game they didn't develop to allow users to achieve a more 'classic' approximation of Halo in Reach whilst denying that same option to do so in the Halo game they did make from the ground up. It's an inconsistent philosophy.
Honestly, it doesn't even bother me that much. I accepted the Halo 4 changes months ago now and am fully on board with my giftwrapped treats for donging (ordnance) and DMR starts all the time. Can't wait, tis gonna be awesome. It's just slightly regretful that I won't get that game invite in a few months from a friend who's got a sick remake of Lockout - BR starts, no sprint - or a cosy little lobby of eight playing a decent remake of Midship where only BR's are allowed and I can throw a flag out of the base and juggle it across bottom middle for a quick, slick cap. Regretful that we won't have what Halo has traditionally given us: the option to do so.
The multiplayer vidoc was incredible btw. I still think the graphics are staggering considering the hardware it's running on. It also made Forge look far more appealing than those Gamespot videos. I saw hilly terrain as Forge pieces so Ghaleon should be partly happy. Spop's also looks a lot more intriguing than it had hitherto to this point. The vidoc did what it should: hype me.

from a MS H4 email I just got:
I'd assume "early" =/= launch like I presume LE still is. Still, 3 weeks isn't a hell of a long time.

this is distracting me from hw I need to be doing, but seriously
who fucking gives a shit
Wow. I'd assume that November 20th doesn't necessarily mean that the remaining six specializations will be unlocked, I believe it's still up to 343i's discretion, with November 20th being the earliest.

If early access to all the customizations isn't exclusive to the Limited Edition, then I have absolutely zero regrets about cancelling my LE pre-order. That was the last thing persuading me to keep it before I decided to cancel anyways.
I'm actually disappointed Waypoint isn't more integrated with the game. I thought it should move from being an xbox app to an in-game thing.

Doesn't LE gives access to 5 specializations?
