That image is gold. Where'd it come from? Never seen Arby freak out like that...
My critique was not based on how you made it. I was looking at the final outcome, and that is what matters. My comments still stand if you wish to experiment and try alternatives. At least make the chamfers bigger.
I'm liking that people are iterating on the logo. What I think happened was that whoever designed it at 343 saw the hard edges of the top and bottom of the 4 that did not mesh with the curve of the ring and solved the problem by simply not making it not have to by enlarging the 4. Not sure exactly how else to solve it though.
No idea, saw it when searching halo 4 logo: https://www.google.com/search?q=hal...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

My reply was not based on how I made it. I was simply stating some aspects of your critique were like saying "That rain looks too dry". Which goes against the very nature of the truth. From there I deconstructed the ways in which I made it to not only prove your critique but give it the right amount of information to tell you why it was that way.
I never said I wouldn't make changes, I will, I just aim to inform you to better critique next time. The more you know the more you can correct in my work, therefore allowing me to improve more.

I don't know more about Halo 4 than anyone else here but I'm not a fan of any of the logo changes anyone here has made.
Don't get me wrong they are nice, but I don't feel they fit the game atmosphere.
From what we have seen, Halo 4 will be more about;
-Forerunner
-Alone
-Cortana/Chief relationship.
-Grand scale
I like the 4 being big as well.
I'm just putting in my two cents here.

Do you think the real halo 4 logo captures this though? To me it seems to lack the grand and mysterious look that the game seems to have. Reposting my thought from the last page-
Keep experimenting, trying new things, making them stand out as unique. Different textures, add some depth, etc. Personally I would go for something that matches the Forerunner and mysterious, aged yet alive style of the Halo 4 concept art. That said, I also like the clean and streamlined look.
The logo needs a certain sleekness as well as a certain complexity that IMO the current logo lacks. I really like some of the Logos people have made here, and I would love to see more revisions, both in color/texture and maybe the logo itself.

Nothing like pulling off wins against douchebags who want to try to fuck around/spawn camp as if they're good enough to pull it off.
I think this is what you really mean, starwolf.
I don't think they're gonna change the actual logoform itself. They've standardized it across the franchise. I prefer the original design used until Reach, but at least Microsoft did a much better job stripping it down than the monstrosity Bungie used for that game (odd caplines, and some bad perversions of the iconic negative space.)
Don't worry, you only have to get through one game of decent competition to get to the legions of guests and warrant officers waiting in the wings.

Im not calling for a huge revamp of the logo, rather just a revision like the smaller 4, different texture. Also, small changes like slightly changing the silhouette of the overall logo.

Shortly after that, OP-Logo for Logo-Gaf-Gaf.

If Halo 4 has bloom I'm sitting it out. Why was bloom even implemented? I'm seriously asking, what was the reason given, I can't remember.

I was listening to some of the old Bungie podcasts they recorded right after the Reach Game Informer reveal, when they first introduced Sage and had him talk about some game mechanics, and hearing him talk about what would eventually be known as bloom was really weird.
From what it sounded like, he wanted to better communicate the "bloom" that's always been in Halo (for lack of a better term) through the reticle, and he wanted to unlock the firing rate of the DMR, to increase the skill gap between players. They describe a scenario where one person hasn't figured out the optimal cadence for the gun, and is firing randomly and missing constantly, and the other player is firing perfectly, and 5-shots the opposing player amidst a hail of bullets.
It's really disappointing that he sounded like he had nothing but the best intentions for implementing it, but then we got Reach.
This is what happens in Shadowrun, the bloom was more severe in that game, so not adhering to a cadence or jumping and running while shooting could get you killed quick. In Reach its somewhere in-between and no where near what he thought it would be like. Poor decision to implement it so half-ass in a franchise that didn't need it in the first place.

I'm just really tired of two things with it:
1) Latency ensuring your headshot that should kill doesn't
2) Taking on a second or multiple opponents

I can't help but feel that that would be solved with a hitscan precision burst weapon. As long as one of the rounds hit, it counts.

Unfortunately it seems that will Halo 3 and Reach (especially Reach), Bungie really seemed to create and balance the mechanics and weapons around just one person fighting another.

Dem jaggies. I like it. It represents the IQ of the final product. (prove me wrong 343! Show us your wizardry.)
On one hand I miss ability to pull off crazy plays but I do like the increased necessity for teamwork.

All this posting of the Halo 4 icon made me realize something.
If you look abstractly, the logo looks like it says "4D".
Halo 4 will be the first 4D experience, confirmed.

Increased necessity for teamwork just adds to the barrier for entry for MLG events though.
Back in the day they used teamwork, but if you had the 4 best dongers you were gonna win.

It cause photoshop is lazy as shit when it selects all from an image and i used devo's cause im too lazy to make my own small 4 halo logo.
I havnt decided on a new avatar yet, dont think i wanna go back to my first one. Dealwithit.jpg
This is such bs, Halo 2 nor Halo CE took less teamwork because the individual had more firepower. Teamwork isn't just team shooting, that's the easiest form of teamwork. Timing, positioning, controlling spawns, power ups, power weapons were all far more advanced in Halo CE than any other Halo, and Halo 2 is right behind it. Just because 2 people don't have to be shooting at one person all the time doesn't mean they require less teamwork, just that the teamwork is emphasized in different and more complex ways.

I'm just giving you a hard time. All these logos look sweet. My skill is represented by that goofy looking one up there by Thermite.
More advanced? Maybe just simpler. Everything is much tighter in that game because there's a lot less to account for. Problem is, simple doesn't cut it anymore in the mainstream.
Ok then teamshooting rather than general teamwork. Fine with that?

Baby's First Halo Edition.
Yes, I know its semantics, I have no problem with people liking the increased teamshooting required in Halo 3 and Reach, but just don't say they require more teamwork because of that.
Sir yes sir

Update: I just turned 'inter-weaving' or something off on my broadband connection. Ping times are down to 8-12ms on Pingtest on local servers. My experience the last 4-5 games since the change have been largely the same. Except now I seem to be pulling host more often, and if there is teleporting like in the videos, it seems to be other people, not me.
Search times, half-assed attempts at 'skill' matchmaking, DMR/bloom frustration and opponents capable of eating 6-8 DMR shots before the shield pops - are still all there in copious amounts. Halo 4 cannot come quick enough.

No matter how good the netcode, Halo 4 will not be the answer to Australian connection issues. The only way it could halfway solve the problem would be to include a search by continent feature (which they never will) and then pray that Halo 4 sells a lot in Aus.
