So are there weapons on the map that don't drop in? Or are they all ordinance drops?
And are the weapons that you can choose to spawn with on the map?

I've always really really loved Foe Hammer's voice acting. For a character you never even see, they did a good job actually giving her character. I wish she would've been in Reach. If possible, 343 should hire her for a last minute role as a different character in Halo 4.

Looks like you can only get weapons by spawning with them, killing someone and taking a weapon they drop, at an initial weapon spawn at the start of a game, or via ordinance drops. Which, now that I type it out, is a lot of different ways to get weapons.

In Reach she's piloting the cargo ship that's carrying all of the UNSC's grenade launchers off the planet. At the end of the game it gets hit by Covenant guns and she has to ditch it. She lives, but all of the grenade launchers are destroyed. I just saved Halo canon again!
 
Grenades are attached to a Spartan's armor, if you have "resupply" you have the ability to quickly disengage whatever locking mechanism they have on them so you can take them. There, I just saved all of Halo canon.
Ha, I wasn't talking about perk lore, but the mechanic of perks which I dislike so much.

Yeah just heard that. Interesting.

Walshy is animated and fun to watch.

I don't quite understand the difference between tactical and support packages. Do you get to use both, or one or the other?
both. Tactical is combat focused support is high level upgrades to your overall abilities and physicality. Subtle but important distinction

So once a weapon is picked up off its spawn on the map, you can only get it by spawning with it/ordinance drops/killing the guy who has it? Do they spawn again?

"You are on team Demon"
Interesting. I wonder if the Wolf/Unicorn icons we've seen in multiplayer games so far are actually universal red/blue team icons, I had always figured they were taken from players on the team. Giving them names seems weird too. I mean, what's the point?

Menus and armor look great too. I'm loving the new Spartans more each time I see them. Which seems to be the way a lot of things go with this game. They annoy me at first, but just seem to get stuck in my head.
"Co-stanza!"

What's with the team name in this pic? You can create custom team names...? The only possibility I can think of is clan support, but somehow I think it's something else.

Seeing that Halo ring in the menus is very interesting.

Cortana as a villain in Halo 5 with the power to fire a Halo ring is chilling.

The team names are Fury and Demon, not Blue and Red.

But what will become of Red vs Blue?

And I agree, the team names are stupid. I'm down with calling the Spartan Ops, canon, infinity team, Team Majestic/Team Crimson or whatever.

But why Red and Blue? If I was running a military simulation, I'd call them red and blue teams. That's what players will call them anyway.

Glad to know I'm not the only one that missed the chance to have Foe Hammer make a cameo in Reach
 
Yup, unless you have the perk, you deal with the grenades you spawn with or the one or two placements on the map and thank the heavens. Nade spamming is mostly dead.
Sounds good to me. I love grenades, but Reach made them simultaneously overpowered and everywhere. Give me the skippier, more skillful, less prevalent frags of Halo 2.

Oh snap its Shake. I don't know if you've posted recently, but what are you thoughts on what you've heard on Halo 4?
