She's premium quality in a positive way.
Well that's no coincidence. All players from Alabama are that good.
Was it weird seeing how short Trent is in real life?
Flag taken stolen and returned/reset is pretty confusing. Glad to hear that'll be improved. The HUD has always looked pretty great in Halo 4, good to know it's informative as well as pretty. I just hope it's at least as customisable as Reach's for future gametype additions.
Speaking of gametypes, from what we've heard so far, Regicide sounds... pretty bad. It's a FFA variant, right? why would I want to play it if it (from the sound of things) will punish me for doing well and getting lots of kills by making me a bigger target? Sounds like an FPS Mario Kart to me. I'd much rather lose the crazy Action Sack style gametypes and have a game more focused on pure Slayer, CTF, KOTH, etc.. After all, Bungie thought things like Stockpile and Headhunter would catch on, and we all saw how that turned out.

The outside part of Solitary is coolest fucking environment ever, my god the amount of atmosphere is just amazing. I want to explore and fight in a location like that.

No. Which further raises the question, what the fuck is the point?
It reminds me a bit of Snwbound, actually. It'd be cool if they were the same planet, they're probably not though. Solitary has way more suns.

Anyone know if our Spartan IV's be seen in the cutscenes for Spartan Ops? I'm curious how much of our customization was going to be carried through. I know they said "CG", but wasn't sure if that meant "pre-rendered".

It just looks so alien and arctic, with a strong contrast between the bright suns and the constant weather effects. Beautiful. And yes, cold.

I've spent a lot of time just walking around looking at Halo maps and their textures, the latest maps make me want to work at Certain Affinity even more.

Of all the things we've heard so far, faster regenerating shields sounds the most damning. If that's true then Halo as we've known it before is finished completely. AA's and loadouts already contribute to that but when you start to individuate players based on fundamental mechanics such as shield regen time, mechanics which should be immutable, fixed and predictable, then it really is a labrynthine formless bonanza and increasingly only Halo in name. Of course this is based on contextless half-information (of which I'm grateful for Wu).
The DMR sounds exciting though!

I'd hope so. It was one of my favorite parts of Reach, seeing my customized spartan. Got me to watch the cut-scenes every time. Would have been even better if it showed your co-op group as well.
When 343 says we'll explore the galaxy in Spartan Ops, I really hope that means getting to explore more environments like that.

It would be cool if you can see your Spartan in the Singleplayer Campaign.

You should definitely work there; they need someone to slap them upside the head and tell them to not put so many fucking power weapons on a map.

Xand has a 'weekend' plan ready, may or may not involve Frankie.
oh, guess I will wait for a giveawayNo its not 240 point down the toilet
what don't you like about it
I'd gladly tell them, but I'd probably just be building the map rather than designing it
Ah, this only means that you are sane. Because ODST FF > Reach FF goes without saying, I thought a more urgent situation was at hand when I read your post.
Yes to both.

Sounds more like certain gamemodes have unique weapon spawning styles..sounds perkish, but I think it will feel different..still.....

Im so glad Im not the only one who does that.. I really love taking in the art, which is why I pray Halo 4 will have more atmosphere and evident visual effects. Bring the epicness of Halos skyboxes into the actual sandbox please.
Thats what Im hoping, it really presents a unique opportunity to gives us a wide variety of play spaces.When 343 says we'll explore the galaxy in Spartan Ops, I really hope that means getting to explore more environments like that.
Im not a fan of it since the art doesnt really stand out very much and is basically completely covered by all of the xbox's menus and UI.
Damn whore

So I made a tiny bit of progress on my re-imagining of the Jackal drawing:
Should I bother to finish it, or should I just start a new one that looks less like a dinosaur and more like an alien. I'm not very happy with how scaly it is, nor do I like the proportions and how it basically doesn't look like a Jackal.. I definitely took the shark mixed with an iguana bit too far, haha. Once again, I really welcome some criticism, Im not a great artist, but I do want to get better.

Did you see my criticism a few pages back?
Oh boy. Now there's a classic, soon-to-be locked thread in the making.
Edit: on second thought...
