IIRC, Peter Jackson's preferred cuts are the theatrical versions anyways. I mean, scenes get cut for a reason. EE's are fan service.
Half an hour after when new challenges normally go up, no new weeklies have been added. Wonder if it's just a glitch in the system.
Also, your new Halo 4 Infinity Challenge Playlist powered by VirginGaming.com and the all-new 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor UNSC Edition is....Regicide.
Not Team Regicide, the other one.
:lol

Allow me to bring some normalcy for you. Greetings from Vegas and soon to be happy New Year!
Ok, back to the boozin' and whorin' and whatnot. Gosh, I can't even leave the thread for a few days...

Well, according to Sundance, that's what it seems like. I don't think there's been any kind of official statement from Microsoft or 343 on that that I know of, though.
wtf, 343 no pls.
Regicide ffa is shit, Team Regicide is probably the only good playlist.
Which is really sad.
JIP is still awful. Getting dropped into CTF games and there's enemies spawn killing Complex with Snipers. Why is there 2 flag on asymmetric maps still? Forget small maps - where is the symmetrical maps?
Dominion would be much better if they decreased the amount of power weapons like Incineration Cannons. You always see in the stats page where players with the most kills have 6+ kills with that thing, sometimes two or three players will.
Playlists/gametypes need a serious overhaul but you really have to doubt anything happens.

Personally I enjoy it when a game starts up and it's 2vs4, and then the game never has anybody join in so it's 2v4 the entire match. It's really fun!

The soundtrack was really good in Halo 4 and it gets completely fucked by compression half the time. I've never played a more inconsistent sounding Halo campaign. Truly a step backwards. Design for your fucking medium.

Isn't the last like 40 minutes just credits though? Or is that in addition to the 4 hours 20 minutes runtime?

What that gif shows (or doesn't show you):
- No ordance bar
- No AA bar
- Recognisable medals
- No white text
- The BR
By the way, I like Ordance and AA, and don't mind the white text. It's just that I can imagine how deceptice that gif could be to most of the people who quit Halo 4 here.
My guess it was just a testbed session. Ordnance and AA might have already been there, but were not finished or fine tuned enough at that point.

They just had Frankie record the "ORDNANCE READY" line, and it would pop up when appropriate. The bar wasn't ready yet.
Frankie doing it in Sean Connery's voice too.
YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING, KEN.

Is it really the compression? I thought the stuff sounds great but it isn't well implanted and mixed with other sounds. There are some moments in the game where it is perfectly implanted. (Seeing the sky pillars in Requiem, or the Elevator sequence in Shutdown)
Blue Ninja

It's definitely compressed to hell and back for cutscenes, at least. Also very badly implemented sometimes. I think 343 just sent Davidge a list of stuff they wanted, he sent them a few songs, and they never talked again after that.
They pretty much purposely misled us at the beginning.

Since Sprint was so popular 343 added it as a base loadout for Halo 4. I wonder if the boltshot will be a base loadout in Halo 5?

And promethean vision!
Now Robbert, you know that we will be playing as the Prometheans by then.
The Boltshot will be built into Spartan armor.

I really like the implementation of Arrival in the final level, but then again Nemesis and 117 - while being fantastic tracks - are simply too fucking quiet!
If only there was a slider to adjust these things...
Also, about that Reqiuem track: It's wonderfully implemented... until you step into the Warthog and get your eardrums blasted away.

Invasion 2.0? Golly, that sure sounds sweet!
Navidson REC

Yeah, I had something weird happen twice, too: Both times that I played the level the track would end at some point and be replaced by another track (I guess the strings you're talking about). However, if I died after that point, Arrival would continue from somewhere in the middle and keep going for most of the battle.
... not that I minded that. I absolutely love that track.
Dominion suffers the same general things Invasion did: poor implementation for the armory and loadouts. It would have been nice to get set loadouts, like not getting the Boltshot as a secondary, not being able to use Camo or PV, no plasma grenade or plasma pistol off spawn, etc. As I said before, the concept in Dominion is really nice, but it is obviously plagued by poor decision making in relation to those things. Right now it's who can get ordnance drops from the Rocket Launcher or Incineration Cannon and be able to stay alive the longest in the bases.

This shows us that they pretty much did the ol' bait and switch on us. My jimmies are severely rustled.
Let me make myself feel better, I'll just hop on H4 and play some ranked LW...

I just barfed a little.
You know what is great about that gif too? THAT FEEDBACK.
I think they intended for the music to ramp up with the action, but someone forgot to crossfade from one part of the arrangement to the next at that spot to mask the transition, so instead it just stops and picks up. It was fairly jarring on my first playthrough, but the second time I was actually listening for it.
I agree with others that the music could have been used much better. I really like the music, but it was clearly just another piece of the game that they outsourced and plugged in without enough consideration as to how it would fit the bigger picture. An in-house musician could have actually sat down with the animators and scored the game as they were programming it to make it all fit better.
If you don't mind I'll get on and play in your gamz.
edit: damn NAT issues. Why does open nat never work in this game

Seems like I missed some drama, shame.
Pretty sure it's my NAT. Too lazy to fix it right now lol
*farting noises*
ok
edit: still not working
edit2: why the hell has this game dumped me in the backup servers 2 days in a row?
