Well like I said in a previous post, I think this TU/Vanilla split needs to go away. It's sloppy and confusing. Of course I know what playlists to go for TU settings but not everyone does. Having a consistent experience across all gametypes (besides ones that are clearly labeled as something else, MLG, Griffball, etc.) would be ideal. So if me voting for TU in TS helps expedite the spread then I'll gladly participate.

And I don't hate Vanilla Reach. Last night I had lots of fun playing TS with Booties and Squall. And a week or so before, with Juices and Plywood. I think the Armor Lock complaints are blown out of proportion. Yes, Armor Lock is shit that never should have existed but the amount of people that use it successfully isn't very prevalent at all. Evade in Objective is a bigger headache to me. But I just like TU settings more (though that health pack glitch has gotta go) so it has my support.

I agree. For the average Halo player it is confusing. They unknowingly change from a game where bloom ruining everything, to a game where bloom is a lot more manageable and fun.

Once TU is in Team Slayer, I really hope DMR starts weighting is increased. To be honest, I think they should rename Squad Slayer to Team Slayer. There are far too many playlists for the population.

Also, add Arena ranks to every playlist.

Frankie said that only the universally accepted changes would roll out and now all the changes are rolling out.

I'd be willing to bet more people like the TU settings than are against them.

What are you going to say if Vanilla wins out?

Where does 343 Industries go from there?

Microsoft's new first person shooter sequel was first unveiled at E3 2011 last June, although the teaser trailer didn't really reveal very much. Since then all we've had is a few vague looking bits of concept art and the revelation that the game will be part of a new 'Reclaimer Trilogy'.
According to Finnish magazine Pelaaja though the new game will be shown at the Xbox Spring Showcase event, due to take place in San Francisco from February 29 (but with a news embargo dated to March 5).

The implication from the magazine is that gameplay footage will be shown and that it may even be playable (although possibly only by the developers). Microsoft however, has issued only a stock 'no comment' response to the rumours.

Since it's E3 unveiling Halo 4 has had quite a torrid time of it, with its creative director quitting the project because of a 'lack of excitement'. Microsoft was then forced to deny rumours that Halo 4 was secretly an Xbox 720 launch title (a denial which most observers now agree is probably accurate).
And then just recently Microsoft had to warn that emails and websites purporting to be for a public beta of the game were in fact phishing scams, and nothing to do with the game at all.

Halo 4 is an important one to get right for Microsoft as it's the first not to be developed by series creators Bungie, who are now an independent studio again and making a multiformat game with Activision. Instead Halo 4 will be the first all-new game from developer 343 Industries, who have previously only worked on last year's Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.

Recently played through The Ark again in Halo 3. Noticed something new on this play through. If you're sitting still in a small vehicle as the Forward Unto Dawn is coming down into the atmosphere, the shock wave will send you flying like all the other debris.

I'm sure others have noticed this, but still a cool moment.

Definitely of one my favorite small touches in Halo 3.. it really helped with a sense of scale.

Im thinking we may have a reveal of sorts before then. I cant imagine them showing the game off by pure footage before we get a trailer or some screens. But hey, its not too far away.

While playing guitar you should comment that the standard xbox controller is not guitar-like enough, whereas this MLG controller is the (insert name of sweet guitar here) of controllers. If you, a struggling musician/pro-gamer were given the (insert name of sweet guitar here) of controllers you would be able to realize your dream of winning an MLG event and then use the proceeds to buy studio time for your debut album "DongBlainin' Blues".

@FyreWulff--instead of italicizing and bolding "Team Slayer" you should italicize "Team" and bold "Slayer" to reflect that week one has vanilla in the top (Frankie?) position followed by week two having TU in the bottom (Frankie?) position.

343 looking at Halo 3's encounters for Halo 4 confirmed. Whew!

Anyway, now for some appropriate music – Behold a Pale Horse.

Ugh that's like asking the guy that pumps out your septic to spray it into your eyes.

Frankie/Ellis: what are the odds of getting Team Hotshot into Multi Team? I'm guessing you're using the Sack as a proving ground first, but feel free to set me straight.

In a world where Justin Bieber, CoD and Jersey Shore are popular I'm not so certain the TU gametype will win. Democracy has its flaws, this becomes apparent every time people vote for Team Snipers on Hemorrhage.

I have to side with Tawpgun on this one.

Because if I wanted to play Halo 3, I'd put in my Halo 3 disc, instead of playing a half assed Halo 3 in the TU gametypes. I'm glad we weren't stuck with fall damage being removed and Plasma Pistol stun at this point, since none of the settings can be separated. Then it would have been a half finished Halo 3 with Halo 1 tributes duct taped on.

If anything we'll get hands on at Halo 4... hopefully. I can see it going a few ways. Ideally...

29th = Halo 4 Media Blowout. Campaign focused.

PAX East = Multiplayer Blowout. Playable build.

I liked that things were actually tested by a competent team.

The TU is shit, and 343i is a shit developer for making it and people that like the TU have shitty opinions.
Click to expand...

Well noobs has quite the strong opinion.

TU Reach plays nothing like Halo 3 get outta heeya

TU Reach plays like Reach should have played.

I'll ask this... besides headshot bleedthrough and this healthpack glitch thing, what don't you like about TU settings?

HBO has blown up over the announcements.

Whole lot of rage against the TU and 343. Even the loss of the Reach API and stuff was expected. Sad, but expected.

The theatrics are quite amusing though.

Quick, we need someone to compile the best quotes from that, and recite it back in a theatrical way via voice recording/youtube.

What do you guys think we are going to get from the Xbox showcase? I personally think they will demo H4 to the media or release a BTS. I hope its multiplayer but it will probably be single player.
