Support NeoGAF

[Gazzawa]

I would prefer they didn't. Glad he's half joking.

but I r only wantz the funz

 

[Blueblur1]

Interesting picture. In this one, the grenade indicator is on the left rather than the right, what are the little shapes above the grenades? Crescent, diamond, etc.

Also take a look at dat armor ability cube icon. I wonder what AA that is?

Hope they change the armor gauge. Reach's AA icon and gauge designs were better because they took up less space on the screen. I hope they clean up the HUD in general because I find it to be cluttered. The useless little readouts and digits that are unintelligible and the extra lines need to go.

 

[Ryaaan14]

So the solution is to give people more?

Yes, in fact 12 sounds like the magic number.

 

[Overdoziz]

More grenades, exactly what Halo needed.

 

[Woorloog]

Can we get grenade cooking for Halo 4?

 

[neoism]

There is no way 343 and M$ are stupid enough to release Halo 4 on the same day as a COD game........smh

Interesting part in the latest Edge:

Red vs Blue
Multiplayer will be crucial to Halo 4’s success. “Our design goal is to dramatically reinvent the multiplayer experience – both the core element and surrounding modes,” says [Josh] Holmes. What we’ve seen of it, played across two maps with Battle Rifles, is faster than Halos past, with UI flash such as ‘headshot kill’ and ‘melee kill’ prominently displayed. A hint of new modes comes with the pointers to where specific weapons are. “there’s a specific reason why the sniper rifle was where it was and why you were being told that,” O’Conner reveals. And it will also, apparently, attempt to explain the animosity between red and blue Spartans.

Interesting part in the latest Edge:

What the fuck. Animosity? Is this more than a training module?

 

[WJD]

Interesting part in the latest Edge:

How can "headshot kill" and "melee kill" be more prominently displayed in the UI than they already are?

 

[Zeouterlimits]

What the fuck. Animosity? Is this more than a training module?

No, I think that's just it, training being the reason for the conflict.

 

[Ryaaan14]

No, I think that's just it, training being the reason for the conflict.

If it was strictly competition, why would they tease motive?

once I start i can't stop

 

[Tha Robbertster]

Please for the love of god, don't do this like CoD does it. I don't need my entire screen to show me that I got a melee or headshot kill.

 

[Falagard]

I think it has something to do with the age of the build. I think I prefer grenades on the left like in previous Halo games. I guess the diamond and the crescent are the other 2 grenade types.

I wonder what the diamond shaped grenade is then? New Forerunner grenade type confirmed?

 

[Homeboyd]

Did I read somewhere that the Conan news was actually going to drop before 12 pm EST today? Could be crazy.

 

[Blueblur1]

It just hit me that HaloGAF has been so upset over the teased changes that speculation on what we do have, like various images of the HUD, has been non-existent. And yeah, it has to be a new grenade type. Maybe its Forerunner or maybe related to the new faction of enemies on Requiem.

 

[WJD]

I read that too. I think that's around 5pm GMT so in about 2 and a half hours?

Apparently, but I don't see a source for the time.

 

[kylej]

Please for the love of god, don't do this like CoD

Too late.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

That's what I got from a Dutch gaming side. For western Europe (not England), the show will be on at 6 pm. I don't know if there's a life stream available anywhere though. That would be perfect.

 

[TheOddOne]

Too late.

Now we only need the guitar rift and I can't see the difference.

 

[Homeboyd]

Apparently, but I don't see a source for the time.

Thanks! That's what I was looking for.

 

[Trey]

Can we get grenade cooking for Halo 4?

Sure can. Pick up a grenade launcher.

Conan: "So, exciting news. The popular videogame series Halo, is going to be releasing Halo 4 this holiday season. Yeah, let's just say the Jewish nerds are going to be thrilled." /quiet audience "Haha...really? No one who walked out of their apartment today cares about Halo? Fair enough."

 

[Gui_PT]

Please for the love of god, don't do this like CoD does it. I don't need my entire screen to show me that I got a melee or headshot kill.

Yeah do it like Battlefield!

What a beauty!

[Tha Robbertster]

Yes, that's all I wanted out of a game. Getting killed each time I level up! That's the best reward ever.

 

[m23]

So we have an announcement on Conan, the weekly bulletin is out today, and that guy is hinting good news from the podcast. I really think the release date will be announced today and November 6th is pretty reasonable, is BlOps confirmed for that date?

I hope to listen to the podcast today, maybe even gameplay. That would make my week.

You should totes write for them!

 

[JonCha]

Er, I hope "Melee kill" and the like are displayed in the corner. Nobody else is doing medals, so they should be prominent.

 

[Overdoziz]

Too late.

 

[Shadders]

I wonder what the diamond shaped grenade is then? New Forerunner grenade type confirmed?

That would make sense. I'm hoping for an EMP grenade, larger splash than a frag, completely strips shields, but cannot kill on its own. Basically the return of the Power Drainer.

I'm sure you can use your Spartan Points to unlock the guitar riff. I want a weed themed banner that pops up for my blains and assists, hopefully it doesn't take too many Prestiges to unlock it.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

The dmr scope is still the worst part.

You can customize it in the loadouts with your Spartan Points

Totes McGoats!

 

[Homeboyd]

+ 100 SPARTAN CREDIT POINT MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I laughed at the image.. trying to conceal it under my breath at work... it didn't work out that way.

People are looking at me...

 

[Falagard]

The dmr scope is still the worst part.

True, that thing takes up too much of the screen, a problem that Halo has with most of its weapons.

 

[Gui_PT]

It needs some advertisement. Like a plane with a banner advertising future dlc

 

[kylej]

Alternatively, a smaller DMR scope will be part of the Halo: Elite package for only $49.99 a year.

Don't worry, the BR will balance out the obstruction with recoil.

Spartan piper picked a spartan loadout with his spartan points in Spartan Ops. If they get rid of the solid green lens I think it'll look fine.

 

[Falagard]

I have no problem with recoil actually, as long as it's consistent. It's better than bloom, and the BR is a beast if it's still a 4 shot weapon.

 

[Overdoziz]

Added Forerunner vision.

 

[The Librarian]

You even have different fonts for the text.

Masterpiece.

 

[kylej]

Added Forerunner vision.

SHIP IT!

You're god damn right. I won't touch the DMR unless I have to. Spitting out ball-bearings is more satisfying than poking someone with a needle.
