So are you saying the Ragnarok mancannons are forge objects? Cool. In the vid they look like static objects like they were in Halo 3.
-------
So you can board the Mantis and plant a grenade, but you can't hijack/steal one unless the occupant voluntarily gets out (or is killed).
Kind of sucks if you're racing to your team's freshly spawned Mantis and an enemy gets there first. Your only option is to destroy it...
I still think something similar to C&C Renegade would be a nice experiment for Halo.
- Warthog spawns in Red base, it is locked to Red team for 15 seconds.
- Red players can immediately hop in and drive it.
- Blue players can't get in until the 15 seconds have passed. They can damage/destroy the hog immediately though.
- If a Red player hops in and then gets out (or gets boarded), the Hog is immediately unlocked for Blue regardless of timer.
- You can use Forge to change which team a vehicle belongs to and how long the timer lasts. Neutral is the default setting, which means anyone can hop in immediately.
jokes are supposed to be funny.

Wouldnt you just melee the Mantis until it kills the driver
Dismount
then "pilot" it?
Just like with the wraith and scorpion, I dont understand the confusion here
Youve never had to blow up a vehicle you board, people just either plant a nade or get carried away with the melee button

Tell me about it. Been since early July for me.
Also much pain. The side ones were fine, but that middle one went too high. The point of them was to get you into the action faster, not get you killed each time you used them.
We do have sprint now too, so you don't need them to push as far.
I think some of the point was to add danger to the route (the MP vidoc went into this). Otherwise they would have used teleporters.
It was like hearing "pull!" shouted every time I heard one go off.

Looks like there is still a sliver that isn't blocked so you can walk up beside the central mancannon. That front panel seems to be a little steeper than it was in Halo 3, but is possibly still climbable.
Hopefully the base is a little more Forge-able than it was in 3. I'd like to have the option of putting a mancannon on the right side, or delete the wall on the front beneath the central mancannon to add another door and open up the basement a bit more.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
You tease me so.
Where's my new fangled forge itch scratcher you promised?
I put out no timetable. Merely said info was coming. I wouldn't keep refreshing web pages if that's what you're wondering.

It looks like that central panel on the base is forgeable if people want to add a front entrance. Same to the optional slot for adding a mancannon on the right.
I need to see this in native resolution, Halo 4 can look so weird on video sometimes. This looks like a still using RvB's crappy CGI from season 9 but in-game I'm sure it looks amazing.

uh...what?
Oooooh well played.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Players have more opportunities to spawn with mid-long range weapons in Halo 4. The change in launch angles for the mancannons in Ragnarok is a reflection of this.
Someone definitely got out their jump to conclusion mat this morning. You can still run up the front of the Ragnarok bases in Halo 4. Though you'll probably want to use sprint as it makes it a little easier.

Don't buy it - I hope everyone forgets it ever existed!
No but really have you checked amazon? I would be shocked if they are sold out. It's 13 quid in the uk

Understandable. Thanks for giving some background, David. I appreciate it.
Currently have it on pre-order from Amazon, but thinking about switching to a Gamestop for midnight launch, as the idea of seeing all of the comments, tweets, pictures etc. until my copy arrives is unendurable. Either of those skins packs of interest to you?

Come on bobs, I was just starting to like you again.
I will never stop ripping on reach. It's too easy a target.
I did help point him towards where to buy it though - so thats something I guess.
I have a full game download if you want to trade for Microsoft points or something

I would have loved an autumn/fall aesthetic look to Valhalla.
Even though I still think it looks sexy in its current state.

Wow, $8 for a Reach GOnD code? Not bad. Then again, it still costs $35 to add all 11 downloadable adversarial multiplayer maps, most of which you can't even be guaranteed of playing in matchmaking anymore (aside from playing Anniversary settings Slayer/Objective on Damnation, Beaver Creek, Prisoner, or Hang 'Em High, or Anniversary Snipers on Headlong, sorry Timberland).

Ragnarok looks like dried shit. It's like they left it out in the sun for too long, or wanted to make it look as arid and dull as possible.
Mission accomplished, boys and girls of 343.

Now that I think about it there's never been a deciduous forest in Halo, has there?

Actually, I think he said "soonish" - which is even more subjective!
I would guess either next week or the week after. Or maybe around NYCC.

I can't believe someone greenlit Halo 4, because it's been making all the wrong turns.

Graphical glitch on Ragnarok at 9:27 on the right side of the rock. Goes all black and glitchy for a second. Fix your shit 343.

(probably just a video encoding problem, lol, because it only shows up in the HD version)
*edit* LOVE Ragnarok, sooo glad that it was the remake.

You can board the Mantis, you just destroy it. The tank has been the same way forever too. You just can't pull someone out of it and get in it yourself.

In a 1v1? Sure
In a match where the enemy team has 5 players? Seems unlikely you'll survive that. Unless the team is made of idiots.
