This whole time I thought Tridyrium was part of 343 lol and I wasn't part of that whole leaked discussion so..
Thanks for the sarcastic post though. Funny stuff. I'll edit anyway.
Too many people are quick to have a nasty attitude in this place.. Also pretty funny ;]

So, a level for every map I've submitted or oversaw being successfully deployed to matchmaking. Level 30 sounds pretty good.

so i was watching some gameplay and it seemed like every weapon killed in one hit. he had some cannon that charged and shot a bunch a big fireball at a dude and killed them instantly. then he had some weapon that grew wings charged up real fast and killed the dude in one hit. then he had some yellow laser gun that he charged up and it killed the guy in one hit.
what happened to halo?

You can select "none" for your AA in the loadout screen, not sure why they'd do that. I played pretty much every map and gametype and always had a loadout.
If that's the case i would be a 500 by now. I stopped counting at 30 maps in MM, including 2 or 3 maps with significant revisions. Not that anyone here has played on them, although.In that system I think only myself, Joeski, and HWM Blacknight would reach 50... lol. Getting 50 needs to be harder than that though.Nobody should be a 50 so we all have reason to improve. There might be someone I'm missing with the mix of Invasion/Infection/BTB maps. But would Joeski lose his 50 since Rebirth and Atom are no longer in matchmaking?
lol... Fyre you gonna let him talk about you like that?
So, lightmap baking as a placable Forge item... any other unofficial Forge news lately? (i went dark at the Campaign embargo lift but decided to drop in for a minute)
Holy shit, the sword elite actually took cover when his shields went down.
He didn't roar and continue to run at the player, madness!
No Forge peeps since they last demonstrated a map. I'm hoping for a Forge blowout soon so people can start preparing.

He forgot about the big sniper rifle that can hit you in the toe and kill you with one hit

With shields?
thats unusual?
Seems like everything dies real quick...I like it I just hope its not too CoD where any kind of gameplay is removed and its just point and click one shots +10 text adventure reach Inheritor RPGMMO with subtle hints of FPS gameplay.

I thought that was the Railgun
or maybe the Spartan Laser?
So many power weapons in Halo 4 that just drop from the sky.

Finding out MP encounter length when the game is in our hands is something I'm really looking forward to.

Good, I'm tired of piss ant plasma rifles, weak needlers, spiker rifles, and all this other garbage that no one bothers to use. Now we have options and those options are finally worth a damn.
Halo 4 will probably be the first Halo campaign I play in a while where I actually decide to use the weapons I randomly pick up off the ground from enemies instead of sticking to the weapons the game gives me in the beginning of each mission.
Have they said if you can unlock those Promethean rifles and then choose them as starting weapons? I haven't been following these kind of details too closely.

Hitscan plasma projectiles will be amazing for this game.
But the plasma repeater is so good!
Thanks for giving Elites in Invasion a solid analogue to the Assault Rifle, Bungie!

I agree.
Light rifle has both single and burst fire ability.
Boltshot can be used as a pistol, or a charged up shotgun
Incinerator canon has HUGE splash damage.
Surpressor seems useless
Binary Rifle is 1SK anywhere (but has large reticle scoped)
Scattershot was apparently nerfed
Boltshot, Lightrifle, and Suppressor can be used in loadouts.
No, I meant compared to their counterparts. I'm all for faster kill times.
Lightrifle/Suppressor/Boltshot/Promethean Grenade are all loadout options, I believe.

Seriously, so sick of all non-human weapons being a fucking joke in Halo. So nice that Covenant and Promethean are equals, and in some cases better than Human counterparts. It's a damn scifi game.
Light Rifle and Suppressor are Primary weapons and the Boltshot is a secondary.

The Light Rifle (3 shot burst un-scoped, single shot scoped), the Bolshot (Mauler/Pistol) and the Suppressor (SMG) are the only Promethean weapons you can use as starting weapons.
The Scattershot, The Incinerator Cannon, and the Binary Rifle are power weapons.
edit: beaten but we both posted at the same time at 117 so suck it!

At first I was skeptical about not having nonpower weapons on the map, but after seeing what they've done with the Ordnance Drop weapons I can comfortably say that I'm ok with it.
Finally if you see a weapon on the map, you should use it. Every single Ordnance weapon is something you should use which translates to people fighting for these weapons more in different areas of the map. I mean, just look at that SAW!
This is 343's first full Halo game and they're coming out strong by making everything more POWERFUL! <--Something that should've happened to Halo after 2.. The fans have finally been listened to (in this regard at least).

Yeah that's something I'm glad they did. You've all heard me complain about the global ordnance system, but I really like that they pushed all the weapons into just two categories, loadout or power (ordnance).
It's almost like they knew that Elites were going to have more shields, faster shield regen, full health regen, and faster movement speed and toned down their primary weapon to balance that, knowing that Campaign and Invasion were its two primary, and nearly sole, usage cases.
Weird.
(the pistol situation in Invasion is far worse than the AR/PR)
Understandable, it still seems far too crap though.
But yes, pistols are a pretty big issue. I guess it won't be an issue for much longer though, heh.
Thanks. Game will have a huge variety of starting weapons, everyone should be able to find something they like. I hope the 4 main Rifles (BR/DMR/Carb/LR) are well balanced against each other so we don't see everyone going to the same one after a couple of days. Won't miss the days of people vetoing/voting in favor of an awful map because of the starting weapon.
Yeah, if the Elites had ARs in Invasion phase 1.. it would not be a good time for the Spartans. Being able to hitscan ping with bursting then come up with faster movement, more shields and regen health... yeaaah.
Would have been nice if they could have decided if they were going to use the Repeater or the PR for the rest of matchmaking, though.

See ya at the Halo 5 party, beard bro.
