I'm almost certain it's asymmetric. For some reason this has become the most intriguing map for me.
I'm warming up to it, it will probably play better than it's size implies.

That's what I was starting to think, but on the video he sticks to one side of the map; looking across made it appear asymmetric but I wasn't sure. Thanks.

It's not like they just gave Saber the engine and said now do this. 343i control the budget, marketing, art, iterations, mechanics, maps to be remade etc etc.
Saber is a contractor to get the heavy lifting done, all the decisions come from 343i/MS.
LOL LOL LOL
U kno u want 'em
And I want a toilet made of solid gold but it's just not in the cards now is it baby?

Visible skill ranks have been confirmed to NOT be in the game. But apparently 343 might possibly think about considering changing their minds in the future.

Never say never.
No worries.Playing mlg in 4s now
I was once down to my last couple dollars on my full tilt account, and entered a $5 120 man tournament and took it down. You know where that left me?
Sure, it was not worth as much as a solid gold shit catcher, but in my books it was pretty damn close.
That's kind of the way I look at ranks, we could for a miraculous reason draw that royal flush when we're heads up, all in.
Post a link for me?

The LR has a BR style 3 burst fire when unscoped and a DMR style single shot when scoped.
To me it's going to end up being the go to weapon as in close/mid you can fight BR players and at long range you can fight DMR users.
Although from the hands on players of Halo 4 it seems the Carbine is very powerful and the DMR is the weapon of choice at any range.
I reserve judgement for my playstyle and the actual retail release settings from 343i.

Blah. But wouldn't it make sense to grab AW while its 600 points..? I could always buy Bioshock 2 for this price anyways. On the flipside, I have the points and don't want to spend money..
Yeah, its a bizarre choice.. blah. This and theater hurts, but at the very least Im sure there is a reason for theater being cut. =(

It happened in the last OT, and it was such a shit storm that I'm not going to even bother searching. Frankie confirmed it.
I couldn't stop listening. My heart was telling me to.

Pre-order canceled. Mike Dongblain will not be pleased.
Ellis, you better make a Dongblain shrine somewhere in a Spartan Ops mission.
I lurked the last OT pretty hard but never saw that. I do remember him saying that there is nothing AS of now, but we have something in the works.
Is this what you are referring to? Because my thoughts are a skill rank could be patched in or maybe even updated like playlists within the first month of play.

I'd miss campaign scoring if Reach ever had a leaderboard.

Right, that's what I meant in my first reply to you. Frankie gave us a very vague, noncommittal crumb of hope, but I wouldn't count on that necessarily coming to fruition. We can cross our fingers, but speculating with any degree of assuredness seems misguided.

Yea I see it, that's weird. When I searched it with what I had already saved in Zune(when I manually added the RSS feed) the episodes showed up. Then I deleted everything and tried to subscribe but it wouldn't let me and all the episodes disappeared. Ugh, I wish this Zune shit actually worked man.

Okay, so I'm hearing two different things here, what's the consensus of this (Cryptum/Primordium spoilers)
Minerva's Den is incredible!
Bioshock 2 is definitely the game you should choose out of those two, it's a very good game, it just gets a bad rap because it's not the game of the generation like its predecessor.
MS has killed Zune.
Can't see the episodes on my phone either.
Do these books undo the awesomeness of the Halo 3 terminals or not?

Damn that's such a fucking bummer.
edit: And I just totally fucked up all my Zune podcast settings trying to fix it
I youtube'd this last year (I know, I am a bad person) and was hooked even just looking at it. Great story.

Lul "Halo is based off of a book series" I really wish people would become more informed before spouting off nonsense... Oh well, what can you do.
Did that gameplay trailer come out yet?

I think Im gonna do Alan Wake and pick up a physical copy of Bioshock 2 since it runs for around $10 that way normally. Best of both worlds.

Can't stop listening to the last two minutes of the 'Revival' track.
I'm expecting Master Chief and the Ancient Evil to duke it out boxing style when that plays in the campaign.

Its placement in the soundtrack makes me wonder
who or what may be being "revived"

I've had Alan Wake sitting on my hard drive ever since I bought my 360. I'll finally give it a crack, too. It's a good game for Halloween time.

Yeah, it sucks. After three games, campaign theatre is something that I considered a major part of the overall experience in a Halo game. It gave it something that most (if not all) other FPS games on the console didn't have. The same with campaign scoring.
But I guess since CoD doesn't have either of those things, 343i decided that it wasn't needed in Halo. But hey, at least we got perks which make us reload faster and whatnot, right?
Wait a second...
If the game was so huge that it needed to be stretched across two discs, why did they need to cut entire modes? Firefight, Campaign Theater/Scoring, Assault, Invasion, Race... Hell, even with multiplayer getting it's own disc they settled for breaking Forge World down into three smaller maps instead of adding any significant functionality to the mode itself.
So they've somehow made the game bigger by making it smaller? Am I missing something?

Has Frankie or anyone from 343i confirmed this?

Ever since the topic was brought up, Frank and David have been MIA.
No official confirmation/denial for now ...
Maybe Campaign Theater is just disabled until the launch of the game for some reason.
Or maybe the guy who announced this is just trolling us ... It would not be the first time. Remember when they said that the first 4 missions of the Campaign can be done in 1 hour ?
