I have a really good hint that it's actual multiplayer. In this interview Frankie mentions they are showing traditional multiplayer this week. I don't know of any other times they have scheduled for E3.

Any ideas on when to expect new Spartan Ops details, or really ANYTHING Spartan Ops related? Last night's tiny little snippet on Spike wasn't helpful.
You could probably avoid getting spotted all together, assuming your movement isn't restricted. The guy demoing the game just stood there in the open.

We always come out on top.
Oh wow I'm so confused. I got work later so I'll be missing it, hopefully it's archived.
wish the plants weren't so static

For whatever reason, DICE has you download the expansion packs as a part of the patch on the 360, and then if you buy the expansion, you just download a 108KB unlock of that content that you downloaded as a part of the patch.
With MP disc installed, HD texture pack, Back to Karkand, Close Quarters, the patches including the server update, I have 14.4 GB of Battlefield 3 on my hard drive, and there is 3 more expansions to come lol.
Some guy on the IGN stream has this on a shirt.
So good
That's awesome.
I imagine if they are focused on figuring certain things out, that is probably enough time to get pretty solid impressions.
I expect to know how many shots to kill BR/DMR are; shield recharge wait and speed, grenade damage, etc etc
Two guys sitting together killing each other with different weapons and a notepad could figure out alot of this stuff
Although we'll probably just get how it feels and maybe how many shots to kill those guns take.

Wait, so Microsoft is implementing paid tournaments into live? Thats it, I'm dropping my career and going pro, *cue playing-video-game-really-hard montage*
Of course... thinking about it... I did the same with the Xbox and 360. The Xbox was purchased solely for Halo CE / Halo 2. The 360 solely for H3.
Countless hours burned in those games. I've only branched from Halo when Reach was dropped.
Team MLG slaps both of you. MLGGaf dominates.

My current gen console purchases were pretty flippant. Gears of War hype got me into 360, and I wanted to try out Perfect Dark for myself to see the horror first hand, Halo 3 was what cemented my purchase. With a PS3 I needed MGS4. The Wii was an impulse thing, I had the money to burn and I never had a GC so even if the Wii stuff ended up being sparse or bad (oh boy), at least I'd have some GC backlog to burn through.

This is so great. Absolutely LOVED when the Elite vaulted over the tree trunk to come after the Chief/you.
edit: the BR reticule is far more nuanced than I initially thought. Awesome.
VV yeah, it's definitely disappointing to hear, especially since we no nothing about H4's forge and the major burn we got with Reach's offerings.
You troll every "good" looking game, but this is where you make your stand?
? I already said Watch Dogs and Last of Us blew me away. I'm more hyped for those two games than most games this generation.
yep :/

Yep...

Yep, people play Team Slayer because it is called Team Slayer and it's the top playlist on the list.

Almost thought they'd omit the dot for headshots.
If we're going by Reach statistics, for every 10 maps there should be -2 good ones.

Yeah, I agree with that.
We were posting about it a few pages ago.
Its a nerfed evade; no more ball rolling.
what is nuanced about the reticule that I am missing?
Oh wow I'm so confused. I got work later so I'll be missing it, hopefully it's archived.
wish the plants weren't so static
The character animation really looks fantastic there. Really nuanced.
When Reach was announced, I was hoping we'd see some of the relationships and relative social status of the Covenant play out on the battle field, i.e. animosity between Elites and Brutes. But we didn't really see that. So it's great to see details like the Elite smacking the Grunt in the head to keep the squad in focus. We see the pecking order playing out.
Good stuff.

In case this got lost for 50pp people.
Uh, guys? Did anyone mention this yet? It appears the thruster IS directional.

Watch here, he's using it to boost forward. It even leaves a trail behind him and he puts his feet forward to stop.
Doh, I miss too much when I'm gone.

I can see it being my go-to AA. Going from a full on sprint to sparking off a ramp. Might be coo'.
Also, mad sparks.
That's what really matters. Cool metal grinding sound effect would be sweet too.

No, not another Reach situation with the mp maps. There were at least 10 slayer maps alone with halo 2's launch, right? Fuckin ay man. I like the addition of spartan ops and all that jazz, but multiplayer is where a majority of players' time sink is and will always be. When will devs see this!

Halo Waypoint.
But seriously, we get our DLC with our limited edition, and extra missions for free with spartan ops.

Still better than Reach which had like 5 or 6 genuine maps. Hopefully we have a goddammed map editor this time, no more lego sets please.
Edit: Traditional MP footage? niiiice!
at THC?
Boo, sooner!
Uh, what? I've repeatedly acknowledged the brand power of the name "Team Slayer" and want Reach to go 100% TU minus Invasion.

Word, same here.
PS: I'm hopping on Reach.
Even that is generous. Best maps on disc were Countdown and Zealot, and both of those are B grade when compared to the franchise classics.

Where was the 10 maps confirmed?
Why Invasion, pray tell?
