I am still dreaming? It's 1:48am here. I cannot believe that. No seriously. I cannot believe it. It is too surreal. They played with my heart for so long. Too much. At the Sparkast, here.

WTF? I hope classic flag is still available with flag running...
Congrats Hyper. You just proved that you have to fight for your dreams to acomplish them.
Edit: You will have to shoot a picture.

Watched the fiction panel. Some pretty good questions, except the one which asked about dual wielding.
And I don't undertand why you would ask about Terminals in Halo 4, such a bad question.
The 1st Panel got me really hyped.

I'm joking and you know it.

My guess is you must have a pistol out to do it, and if you have something like a DMR you run it like normal. Now if the pistol is out do you go slower? That's what I'm curious about along with, what if you have a needler does it run the flag out like the pistol etc.

Sounds nasty. I like it.
Yep. Makes me think if it's already developed but there's no remakes for shipping then they're literally holding back content that could launch on the disc. I mean it's probably industry standard by now but still, it's kinda unseemly.
Is it any surprise when the playlist plays host to broiled effluence such as Oddball on Swordbase and Stockpile? Flag and Bomb are the only really solid obj types in Halo for a mainstream mm population.
Frankie's responses to the questions were pure gold.
I hope it can be turned off forever

No way.
It would save me money to get it at PAX prime if it is possible.
It is.
do you know when we will get a video of the multiplayer panel?
Absolutely not.

The new details from the panel sound cool. Mode specific assassinations are a nice touch but they're not a big deal, IMO. If oddball passing is indeed in that would be a nice and elegant alternative to just dropping it for another player to pick up (and possibly lose track of it). The flag/pistol wielding sounds harmless to me. I really miss playing objective games in Halo that aren't just some other form of Slayer so I welcome any changes 343 wants to make. Hopefully more people will player objective playlists in Halo 4 because of the changes.
Seems like I picked a bad weekend to be browsing solely from a phone.
Flag runners having a weapon is a little weird, but I think my opinion on the matter is gonna be very dependent on objective item melee strength and carrier speed. If it means that flag carriers don't have mini-swords anymore, I can probably live with it.

Yeah, those guys don't do anything right. Bleh.Where's my footage? Why do you do this to me 314?

I'd bet it is. I'm interested in it though, it will bring a new dynamic to CTF and shake things up a bit, but not too much. It'll give the carrier a way to defend himself which is nice.
Yeah, me too.
I just hope the playlist management works this time...
No inappropiate map/mode combos. No stupid modes. No waiting half a year for a small fix.
Imagine the team hasn't finished said map yet. Sounds like business as usual. Bungie always had unfinished stuff that ended as DLC. No reason to get upset about said map's launch exclusion.
I feel like the advantage here is more when you are running the flag alone, rather than with your team, you won't be looking backwards when your team is defending you.

Grats!
That's super cool of them to do. 343 seems to be carrying over the caring about the community mantle quite well.
So was the potential remake mentioned earlier in the year axed? Or did it just join Not Boneyard in the great cut room in the sky?
I wonder if we'll ever hear about Not Boneyard.
The inch by inch flag crawl is infinitely more fun than flag carriers that run as fast as everyone and can shoot stuff
CTF in Halo 2 is the benchmark... Basically CTF perfection
Halo 3 and reach were good, not great CTF games
But is it in the "classic" Halo 4 playlists?
3 minute rounds on 1 flag CTF containment.jpg
Classic Halo 4 is dead before launch.
That sounds... well, impossible really. IIRC, Contaiment was damn large map. Plus that wall.
Don't remember the where the flag was on the map though.
Doubt there'll even be a "classic" playlist. I'm willing to bet if there are any classic game types at all they'll be lumped into standard playlists at launch.

I would totally disown that map if I didn't like the alarm that goes off when the ramp goes down
Midship, coagulation, lockout, Zanzibar, colossus (even for it's bouncing fails), terminal and that map with the treadmills all had CTF that played beautifully
this will be nice to feel as a flag runner.
This is just something I'm curious about... Have you changed the design of the flags at all? I miss the halo 3 flags!
vs the reach flag
The Halo 3 flags were classy.

Honestly, I'm hopeful for the Flag Pistol mechanic. It might speed up CTF, letting you pull when there's 2 down instead of waiting for teams to be 3 down or 4 down 98% of the time. It might change things to be more of a battle out of the base instead of "welp they're dead time to get it over to our half before they even spawn."
It pretty much was. You basically spent most of the time getting to the flag, and unless you basically capped it straight off it wasn't happening.
Bungie's fix was to just delete the gametype instead of increasing the round time limit. They also at one point, removed 1 flag and 1 bomb from Relic in matchmaking.
Which was perplexing since the map was entirely designed around those two gametypes
Hmm. Frankly, from what i remember of Contaiment, Bungie's solution was probaly better... but my Halo 2 experience in Live is rather limited, so can't be sure.
EDIT you edited, i edited my quote... Hmm. Sounds like the MM management has always been... hmm, can't think of a suitable word.
Indeed. Reach flags are horrible.
