I'd hi5 her for both of us having last names people can't stop making endlessly unoriginal jokes about. And then I'd be killed.
Probably placeholder. Remember when Sprint (at least I think it was Sprint) was a lightning bolt icon in Reach.

Wow, I have to say Haven looks so damn clean. It reminds me of a Halo 2 map with it's simplicity. I love it from what I've seen so far. The new Forerunner aesthetic is really nice.
That's like half of HaloGAF.
I think we've only seen parts of the first mission. If it follows the rest of the series at all, it will open up as it goes on.
Also:
Yep, so much better than whatever the fuck they did with the Forerunner look in Anniversary.

I should be happy there's no Ponykill working at 343.

Yeah I do remember the Reach ones, the lightning bolt was indeed sprint.
These ones need to be placeholders though, they are awful. I'm sure they are, so no worries.

Well, what we have seen so far is actually a mission that's like 1/3 into the game, but yeah I'm sure there will be expansive levels. It's not a Halo game without them!

It does look nice doesn't it, some of it almost looks textureless in how clean it looks, but that's fine by me. Makes engagements stand out more when you can see all the blood and bullet shots in the leftovers.
Where have you read that? I read a few articles that they were showing a very early level, and one specifying it was the first. (Though, it looks more like the second.)
I'm pretty sure he's talking about the EGM cover story. That had some screens of the first mission.
...er, guess he wasn't.
In that IGN interview the 343 dude said it was a ways into the game.

Minus the obvious ordinance/HEADSHOT stuff, one part of the HUD's been bugging me. Right now, it looks like this:
(pardon my shitty drawings)
Where there's no meter for Sprint (which is supposedly limited unless you have the proper specialization), Ordinance is in the middle-left, and AA meter's above the radar. The ordinance position kind of clutters the screen even more when medals and kill info pops up.
Preferrably it'd be something like this instead:
Where it's three meters above radar: Ordinance in the middle, and then Sprint/AA on the left or right. Maybe even have it change depending on your button layout.

Does anyone have that gif of the Spartan using the supposed jetpack in that small Spartan ops preview? Where it also shows the Hard shield to. Going up the ramp?

1/3 into the game and you are first meeting the Prometheans?....
That doesn't sound right.
You start off fighting the Covenant. You probably do a mission or two with them as the antagonists, tango with some new Sentinels, link up with Infinity or learn of its existence (Chief and Cortana aren't surprised by its existence in the demo), meet the Cryptum (the duo were familiar with "him"), escape, Infinity crashes on Requiem, demo begins here.
Here's some crappy avatars I made up for grabs if anyone wants 'em.
Thanks.

COD does it and it sold millions, clean and informative UI elements are a thing from the past... Flashy texts, points awarded, huge icons and non-sense medals are the new thing.Minus the obvious ordinance/HEADSHOT stuff, one part of the HUD's been bugging me. Right now, it looks like this:

I loved H3/ODST/Reach HUD elements simplistic look, now we have this beautiful visor outline cluttered with shit on every corner.

From what I have seen of Halo 4's UI it is beautiful. Very far from the clutter of CoD and Battlefield.
Let's not forget that everything has to be in the middle of your screen otherwise people won't notice it. Sigh...

Hey y'all, I've been away from the Internet overnight. Any MP vids?
by looking at your drawing, its probably so that the reticle cant be blocked by textMinus the obvious ordinance/HEADSHOT stuff, one part of the HUD's been bugging me. Right now, it looks like this:

"xx420SmokerBausxx killed by A27 Starwolf with a headshot" will block out the reticle on a smaller TV

From IGN, about 10 minutes total in 5 parts. They're all linked on the forwarduntodawn site, too.
Also noticed this as well:
>Has rockets
>Shoots Teammate (friendly fire?)
>Gets killed with 0 rocket kills

The best was lobbing grenades at seemingly random locations when he's got a guy he needs to be shooting that is 10 feet in front of him.

My favorite moment might happen right ahead in video #1, where he sees the guy on the right, then immediately ignores him and starts shooting the dude on the left, and both he and his teammate are now easily killed sandwiched between the two red Spartans.
Good grief

Thanks. Bummer they showed the reveal of new enemies that far into the game, but hopefully there are some surprises left down the road.

Not sure how I feel about this.
You should feel bad because its stupid.
Why.

Holy shit, Friday is shaping up to be epic. Pro Halo 4 gameplay, Prometheus, Guild Wars 2 and no work the next day (usually an inherent Friday trait but my list needed to be rounded out). I fucks with that.
Because its uneccessary and only serves as a crutch for people with poor awareness. Was the loud "tink" sound and the glowing trail of a thrown grenade not enough?
It sucks to have the initial surprise over with, but if they just showed grunts and elites, we would all be so disappointed right now
