This guy knows what he is talking about
I wish 343 would just tell us what they are planning for a competitive ranking system. I have been waiting to hear about a competitive ranking system since 343 took over from Bungie. Sadly they used the "we are putting all our efforts into Halo 4" and did not fix the ranking issue in Reach. Now that some Halo 4 news is out, I still don't see or hear any form of news regarding the ranking system except that there will be no 1-50 or an Arena styled system.
I'm just hoping that 343 doesn't make the same mistake as Bungie did with Halo Reach.

Awesome! I didn't know you were streaming, haha. I usually watch.
Depending on the map size, I'll always be using a combination of BR/DMR/AR/Storm Rifle with the "overkill" perk.
In BTB, I will almost always be using DMR and Plasma Pistol. All of that may change though, depending on weapons we haven't seen yet.

Watching Dave Ellis and Brad Shoemaker from Giantbomb discuss the Mars landing on twitter right now.
Ol' Dave is hating on NASA's landing plan.

I never really liked SWAT. Always have mixed feelings. I was conversing with a fellow teammate in the past and his only reason for getting Halo is just for SWAT... Odd and uncommon imo. But I do enjoy some SWATGUN. Good and Underrated.
I've actually thought about using a setup similar to that. DMR, stickies, and PP. BTB dominance achieved. The light rifle looks like a good weapon for me... Fell in love with it the moment Chief picked it up in that livestream. As long as it's headshot capable....

THREE MONTHS
That is neat to think about. In exactly 3 months, Halo 4 will be in my hand.
I wonder if it's a loadout weapon?

too busy watching Mars dude
This was kinda my point. I think we'll all play H4 anyway because it's fun to pleh 2gethr.
Has the Needle Rifle glitch been brought to 343's attention.
Because it really, really sucks.

I honestly still don't know how bloom functions in all the weapons.And there are still many questions

The light rifle sounds pretty powerful because it basically combines the strengths of the BR and DMR into one. 3 shot burst when unscoped (good for midrange) and single shot when scoped (for long range).
Not sure how this is going to be balanced in multiplayer but we know very little about the gun damage wise so who knows.
If its kill time is on par with the BR/DMR I can see this weapon becoming the new precision weapon of choice.

It could easily get fucked over by rate of fire or clip size though. Not to mention there's some ambiguity when taking people on with the DMR/BR; if you use something as flashy as the light rifle, it's going to be more obvious than the Sniper Rifle as to who and where you're getting shot from.
It'd require a TU to fix, they're not going to TU Reach again. Halo 4 train, choo choo.
Can someone vidcap that film I posted so I can make a proper post about it on HBO?
Yeah, there's a lot we don't know about the weapon. If it is a load out weapon, I'm assuming they will balance it somehow by giving it a drawback. You make a good point as well that, because it is a flashy weapon that shoots glowing projectiles, it may be easier to track where the shots are coming from which certainly would make it less desirable.
Gypsy's are a race?
Funny because I really haven't, heh.
Also, 3 months is still a long time.
I was thinking the other day in the shower, the NFL season will be about halfway over with when Halo 4 hits, that's a long time from now. Devolution

Could Tunavi or Domino Theory confirm that Light Rifle is an only Ordinance Weapon?
WTF?

That's crazy, I literally thought it was like a lifestyle adopted by people of any culture.

I'm thinking maybe as in all the secondaries + primary-only weapons will be included in the total primary count.

For awhile I thought smh meant So Much Hate. It fit like every post that someone used it so I just assumed. Still kind of fits.
I love these real truths posts though.

Same here. I don't know how I ever figured out that it didnt' mean So Much Hate, because the meaning of the posts aren't changed either way.

Fuckin thing is huge lol. I can't wait to hear it
Science happened.
I wasn't sure which of the several reasons in the image you could be sighing for until the edit.
That is the most correct sigh.
Edit: at least from that build, we now know it has a multiple of 2 as its max ammo. Would ideally like 2 shots total, but keeping Reach's 4 over returning to the original 5 is something.

There's a broken piece within the map that can be exploited with two players using jet-pack. It's located on which if I remember correctly the red side of the map and in between a corner of the ramp that leads to the bottom lift and sniper spawn. Once they pass through this opening, they're able to get out of Select and there's no kill barriers or soft- kill barries to discourage players.
