You can unlock it as a starting weapon or something.So what happened to no unlocking weapons? Why do I have to unlock a BR? Thought they said no to this. Disappointed if true.

Every map/gametype combo will have a suitable default load out (DMR/magnum and a suitable armor ability on BTB maps, for example). However, you can customize your own load out with other weapons and armor abilities you have unlocked (so swap that DMR for a BR, or carbine, or whatever). No power weapons in custom load outs.
I know power weapons will not be in custom loadout. but I thought we didn't have to unlock weapons at all for vs. multiplayer. I assume if there was an unlocking of weapons it was for spartan ops which makes sense to me.
Why do I have to unlock a BR. It should just be a standard loadout. I don't know how they are handling things, but i would hate because I don't play as much I will get owned by people with a BR because I haven't earned enough crediits to buy a BR.
I think the real bright side to the unlock system, however wary I still am of it, is that poor playlist management is much less of a factor now. We don't have to wait months to get a precision loadout on maps where it makes sense (or ones that they think it wouldn't fit). If this lets them focus on getting gametype and map weightings and object/weapon drop placement right more quickly, then I'll accept whatever needs to happen.I don't disagree.
You unlock them because people like unlocking things and now Halo will feature unlocking weapons. So long as the default load outs are suitable, it shouldn't be a big issue and the unlocks will be more about people shaping their load outs to their play style. But I'd still rather just have everything available.
The good news in all that is the credits you earn to unlock weapons is universal across modes; I'll be playing Campaign and Spartan Ops until I've got what I want in MP.
I'd pay good human points for some new news.I hope we get another vidoc soon before e3. Halo 3 had mucho.

That wouldn't be good. Especially if plasma pistols have the vehicle stun effect in Halo 4. Vehicle combat would be ruined pretty much.That's a good point. The load out management will be limited to the default, which most people won't be using after a short time anyways, and matchmaking support resources will be more focused, hopefully.
Plus, I hopefully won't have to go postal on guys that steal my plasma pistol in BTB games. I can has my own.
I think it goes Allards > Spartan Points > Forza Tokens > Human Points > Snickers BarsDo human points cost less, point for point, than Spartan points?

AA, in my Halo 4?

Where have you been?
Yeah, I can't really see them putting a Plasma Pistol as a secondary option, especially in BTB. But we've been stricken with awful decisions in the past. I would have assumed the secondary in things like BTB being Pistol or Assault Carbine. Would have said AR, but as they keep stating how powerful it is up close, I'm not sure that will be readily available. Who knows.That wouldn't be good. Especially if plasma pistols have the vehicle stun effect in Halo 4. Vehicle combat would be ruined pretty much.
If they're appropriately adjusted, I'm up to seeing how they're programmed. Camo was easily one of my most hated AA's in Reach, so I'm not upbeat about that return.Apparently not paying attention. Might not actually buy this, AAs are just stupid.

Armour lock is gone.True, I suppose it's too early to really judge, my main beef is really just armor lock and camo, completely changedthat classic halo pace.ruined

Armour lock is gone.
Hawt.Everytime I read Armour it's pronounced in a french accent in my head, which makes it a highly sexual thing.
Getting camo sniped is always a good time.Camo didnt change shit, people just didnt like it cause they got owned when facing it.

The PP is a monster in Reach.
I can't wait for the new sound effect, which apparently makes it sound insanely powerful in Halo 4.
What are you guys using it for mainly, just to drop the shield then switch to DMR?
Stop vehicles

How about getting rid of the idiotic motion tracker? Maybe then people would play Halo instead of throwing grenades at red dots for the whole round.

camo allowed you invisibility to camo snipe. camo allowed you invisibility to escape battles. camo allowed you invisibility to chose when to engage an enemy that didnt know you were present.
inexplicably, camo also screwed up enemy motion trackers completely axing a key component to halo's gameplay. camo also screwed up teammate motion trackers completely axing a key component to halo's gameplay.
camo had two MAJOR effects on encounters; invis and disabling motion trackers. it was over-powered, cheap, and frustrating when the enemy or a teammate used it.
IF camo returns in halo 4 i hope its greatly changed. maybe have only the users motion tracker be scrambled while everyone else sees some sort of effect of the camo on the tracker to inform that a user is nearby without destroying the usefulness of the motion tracker entirely. personally, i'd also like to see a slight reduction in transparency, or some sort of predator-like light shift that makes someone holding still in camo slightly more visable to counter the counter snipers.
Ump, we got a camo user here.
The invisibility power-up in Halo 1 did all those things as well, expect the radar jammer which was actually a disadvantage cause people know youre there when it happens.
Yes, in objective games, camo and shotty absolutely. Not my fault others cant use it.
the radar jammer was supposed to be a disadvantage, and i admit for the user it is, but its also an advantage over others and also a disadvantage to your teammates. not sure how anyone can defend how camo/jammer works in reach...
No Halo Honor

Please tell me youre joking when you say you want to be able to see the invisible guy...
