Halogaffer opinions have hyped me beyond all that 343 showed me.

Thanks for the writeup biggy, can't wait to get my hands on the game myself. The feel of the game sounds great.

Nice to see Metroid Prime's Space Pirates making a good transition to Halo as the Knights. :p

Awesome writeup, Biggie.

Can't wait to play it and/or watch better streams, lol. I knew the audio didn't sound as good as I figured it would in person over the stream.

Also holy shit 20m weapon discussion with Bravo, bestman and Walshy; can't watch right now, need sleep

That was the only thing that any of us raised our eyebrows up at, but to be honest I couldn't tell if anyone was using it.

Good pt, were you able to notice if people were slowed down while sprinting and being shot?

No one else could (even the pros) so im suspecting it's not much of a slow down in it's current tuning.

Great writeup Biggy. MP sounds solid. Spartan Ops sounds better than ever. However:
One thing I noticed was that the scope (when unscoped) covered up a pretty significant portion of the screen.
This is the only thing that sounded bad. Nerfing sniper?
 
Mastrbiggy, I am so jealous that you played Spartan Ops already. And your impression hyped me even more for it. I hope it is playable at PAX Prime. :)

Sniper was damn pretty to use in Reach. So I am happy that they nerfed it kind of.

That's a nice write-up. Thanks.

Is therea good .gif of thrusters in action.

Also love the shields are made of Hard Light, that thing got me hard while reading Cryptum.
 
Thanks heaps mastrbiggy, great to hear the details.
Unlimited spring -- Not a big deal, I think everyone is overreacting a little.

Mind if I drop this over at Waypoint? I think they'd much appreciate it. (Or feel free to post it yourself)
 
You can post it if you want. I'm on my phone now and waypoint takes forever to load up.
Forums went down again about 10 minutes ago :lol

The Thruster Pack is the last of the lot, and the one that took the longest to get. It allows players to vanish for a second, only to materialize a few feet ahead of (or behind, if you're backing off) where they used the Thruster. It's great for closing gaps unexpectedly and making an unpredictable dodge when a Spartan closes in for the CQC kill.
Is this right? I thought that was the Promethean only ability, and Thruster pack was... well a thruster pack.

Edit: also,

I'd like to know more about the jetpack vs. thruster pack. Looks like we've only seen the jetpack in spartan ops so far. Also, can you use the thruster pack vertically?

Wat? They give away Halo 4 MC avatar codes? Nice. I hope I will get them at PAX Prime.

Sounds like more code cards for me to miss like a pro

I swear to god, I walked into Halofest, big ol pile of SWAG bags. They make me go in the one entrance. Brisk walk around the whole loop. By the time I got to the other side they were all gone.
 
Played Reach after a week break. Did not want to stop. Shit is so much fun. I hope it continues to make the now less than 5 month wait quite enjoyable.
