I just thought of an awesome armor ability. It would be called gravity bind and basically when you activate it all people in will radius will be pulled to the ground if they are jumping or jet-packing. See someone jumping over a gap in the map? Boom he just fell in the gap and died. See someone jumping with the flag up to its cap point? Not anymore.This also will be the counter to jet pack.

Please tell me that there will be some sort of option to hear their voices in multiplayer. You know how there's grunt party and it makes a noise? There should be something like that with their voices where you can hear their crying while someones getting shot.

I don't have cable TV, so I watched the bit using the Team Coco app for Android.

Conan O' Brien doing Jay Leno doing a Marine, lol.

Great skit! Was that your first time meeting Conan, Frank? What was it like doing the interview? They chopped it up quite a bit.

Maybe double shotting, but otherwise, lol @ button combos taking skill.

I could BXB sorta consistently. BXR's I could only pull off if I consciously went for them. Could never do it on the fly. Most people couldn't.

Double Shots were just absurd.

Also, hopefully the final build will have better shield effects. Keep the sparks, I love that. But the shields popping, and showing some crackle around an unshielded opponent and showing a bigger/brighter shield when its low should be put in.

It's worth mentioning that Kiki and Fronk just appeared on a late night talk show to promote a game that is over 6 months away from release. I'm willing to bet that the Microsoft hype machine is going to outdo itself on this one.

Are my eyes deceiving me or did the score just go from 50 before the kill to 60 after the kill?

Yeah, that's been known since the first footage of the game was shown. Kills in slayer games appear to be worth 10 points for the team. You play to 500 for 4v4, etc.

I think "Midnight Team Slayer" is just a custom name for the demonstration. Like the midnight show Conan hosts. I wouldn't dwell on it too much.

@Ghouse, the way score is counted now is...different. We still haven't go clarification on that, yet.

It's not a midnight show though.

Just saying :p

All the plot stuff from the video is not actually from the game. Come one guys!

-Strafe looks quite good.
-Looks like there isn't a ton of aim assist (which would be amazing, but I won't hold my hopes up on that one being final).
-Never liked the floaty jump, but it's nice to have it pretty high at least.

We had no idea we were going to be in a bit. We thought we were just going to record the VO session and do a demo. Then Conan walks in, tells us a bit about what he's planning on saying, pops mics on us (and no makeup) and starts making wisecracks. We were just going along with it. It wasn't a setup per se, that's us just answering his questions.

I'm sure Frankie just shakes his head seeing the reactions go from "You have to trust you? FUCK THAT COD/REACH SHIT" to "oh hey that gameplay looks like Halo"

Nah, it probably feels like he has a secret and loves when he can do a little gushing here and there. Or maybe a mix of both. I know it makes me shake my head.

Told you guys... We just need to see the game before freaking out. :)

Ehh, there's still plenty of reasons to be skeptical. And there's plenty of announced features that people have well articulated, fundamental critiques of. I feel like you and others sometimes confuse reasonable worries with freaking out.

But you're still pretty much right. The video has suppressed a lot of my concerns.

You're lucky I like you;)

seriously we have to play soon.

Heh, sounds good. I'd like to pick your brain about some LAN and event stuff, anyways.

Oh I get that, but I was almost banging my head against my desk at work today reading this thread. I'm sure more questions will be answered in the coming weeks as well.

Haha that must have been awkward not knowing in advanced, it worked out well at least. Out of curiosity, was that short clip of gameplay all they had to show or is there a possibility of getting more some time soon?

I am liking what I see. The jump height is very smooth. if you watch when he zooms in, the outbox shifts, but not in direct correlation with the inner one. Also, you get cut off to portrait, rather than landscape or widescreen view when zoomed in.

So that guy in the gif isn't even shooting back :p

I think I know whos benefit that short clip was for.

Regardless of that, action looks great, BR great, jump height great, strafe/speed great.
