[Hey You]

Wait, how is Fiesta different than how it's always been?

In Halo 3, you start with two random weapons.
In 4, you pick from one of your regular loadouts and start with those weapons. As soon as you respawn, you can call in ordnance drop . If you get a kill, you can call in ordnance drop.

edit: beaten.

 

[BigShow36]

That's the issue they should be addressing IMO. Such a large population of players who tried Halo 4, but now an even larger population who stopped playing it.

Kind of throws the whole "Halo isn't popular anymore because kids only like CoD" idea. People still want to like Halo. They still want to play Halo. Otherwise 11 million people wouldn't buy it in the first few months. The reason they leave is because the gameplay isn't the Halo gameplay they were expecting.

 

[Tashi]

Apparently the height variation means banshee is easy skyjackable @ncsuDuncan said he got one when he played

kewl

One base is round, the other square. Both have a sniper, hog, and Mongoose.

Tom potter says CTF is the best on Daybreak.

To be determined Mr Potter!

RIP Kansas St, RIP my bracket, RIP Franklinator

Gonna' be a rough press conference for K-State's coach after that. They had possessions start at :20 down 1 point and at :9 down 2 points, he had a timeout in his pocket, and he just sat there and watched his team self-destruct.

Whoops.

 

[Sr Kitsune]

Daybreak has the highest feedback score from internal testing of any Halo 4 map.

Good news?

I guess if you like BTB stuff then yea

I haven't enjoyed BTB since Halo 3. Except if I'm playing with friends and if the game itself doesn't matter much.

He was calling a timeout at the 1 second mark, referees didn't acknowledge it though.

Tom is talking about Outcast now. It's the largest of the 3 maps

Mantis on one side, Wraith on the other

Outcast has laser, wraith, mantis, rocket. It's a dominion map

MEGATON!

 

[Arnie]

Good news?

No because it didn't ship with the game.

And it's like saying one fart smells better than the other.

 

[Latvian Hitman]

At the 1 second mark? What good would that have done anybody!

 

[Stinkles]

At the 1 second mark? What good would that have done anybody!

A three point miracle.

 

[vhfive]

So far it's been boring stats and an overview of the maps. Zzzzzzzzz. Hope we get some juicy info soon.

 

[enzo_gt]

Sweet, a map to try and grind laser commendations on. I can already see Two For One II achievement now.

EDIT: Thinking of wrong name.

 

[Tashi]

Perdition has no rock walls. Tram overhead as scenery.

This is the Terminal remake that was scrapped right?

Perdition supports all game modes. I have terrible eyesight and can't see weapons and stuff.

RIP Tawpgun. Just imagine if he wasn't in the 2nd row

 

[Ryaaan14]

Why are they not talking about the train?

Which map is that on anyway?

Edit: Oh

 

[Steelyuhas]

You get an ordance selection each time you spawn, AND each time you get a kill. You still use your custom loadouts.

Regular, or old Fiesta, you just spawned with two random weapons each time you spawned, and got new ones when you died and spawned again.

That doesn't sound like Fiesta, back to the old one plz!

Spoiler

Don't play the game, so I honestly don't care.

6 teams of 2 multi-team? Poop multi-team confirmed.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Free midship and pit remakes!

 

[Sr Kitsune]

Multiteam coming back according to Kevin. 6 teams of 2.

Multi Team comes out with castle. Pay wall?

 

[Tashi]

Multiteam coming back according to Kevin. 6 teams of 2

Nooooooiiiiiiiiiicccccceeeeeeee

Multiteam out April 8th with the map pack.

 

[kittens]

Multi Team with six teams of two? :-(

I much prefer four teams of three.

 

[Stinkles]

stahp

 

[Steelyuhas]

I much prefer four teams of three.

Yeah 4 teams of 3 is much better.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Multi Team with six teams of two? :-(

I much prefer four teams of three.

Same. Oh fuckin well.

 

[enzo_gt]

MULTI TEAM FUCK YEAH

This + retro Fiesta coming back means that there might actually be some playlists I'm down to stay in.

 

[orznge]

Multiplayer feels like you're on coke?

Return to arena shooter-level movement speeds and strafing confirmed?!

never happening

 

[IHaveIce]

Yeah 4 teams of 3 is much better.

no.

SO where is the forge announcement and TU stuff.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

*sees Duncan's tweets*
6 teams of 2?

This panel is clearly not for me.

Same here.

CSR mentioned.

ahahaha that is so lame

 

[enzo_gt]

EDIT: TRIANGULATE POSITIONS NOW

 

[Arnie]

When they reiterate that it's only viewable by Waypoint can someone politely heckle them, please.

I'm not a cruel person but at this point it's deserved.

 

[Silly.Mikey]

I'm still waiting for the Assault coming back annoucement.

 

[Tashi]

1-50 for each playlist on Waypoint. Even grifball. Game stats show your level at the time of that game.

Waypoint match history displays CSR AT TIME OF THE MATCH. CSR per Playlist

.

CSR shows on your player card in the Waypoint app on 360.

 

[IHaveIce]

good picture quality.

1-50 for each playlist on Waypoint. Even grifball. Game stats show your level at the time of that game.

I thought there will be special lists for this ... So will guests be forbidden in all playlists? I don't want guests in ranked lists

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

Isn't the new TU allowing them to modify their own game in the future? Now that they can change weapons maybe they can modify the UI.

 

[Ramirez]

On Waypoint only, bwahahaha.

I'm sorry 343 bros, but that is useless.

 

[Arnie]

On Waypoint.
On Waypoint.
On Waypoint.
On Waypoint.

Fuck this I'm huffing to Tesco to grab an Easter Egg.

Isn't the new TU allowing them to modify their own game in the future? Now that they can change weapons maybe they can modify the UI.

They won't do, but they really need to.

Relative to the previous games in the franchise Halo 4 has the worst UI in the history of visual shit.

 

[heckfu]

basketball can s my d

 

[Tashi]

If you haven't played a particular playlist, you aren't 1. You just don't have a rank.

.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Didn't we know like a year ago it would be Waypoint only?

 

[Steelyuhas]

no.

SO where is the forge announcement and TU stuff.

Uh.. the patch doesn't suddenly open up the entire game's shell for retrofitting, just allows them to hotfix mechanical balance.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Multi team is back? YES.

I look forward to the hilarity.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Didn't we know like a year ago it would be Waypoint only?

Didn't we hope they'd change their.. ah whatever.

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

It was a... nvm.

 

[Ramirez]

Didn't we know like a year ago it would be Waypoint only?

Yes, but they saw the reaction then, and they deserve to continue to be harassed over it, it's so absurd.

 

[Tashi]

Title update time! Launching within 1-2 weeks.

TU talk now. Expected 1-2 weeks. Deep dive into TU with demo

.

 

[BigShow36]

Uh.. the patch doesn't suddenly open up the entire game's shell for retrofitting, just allows them to hotfix mechanical balance.

If they can add an X on dead teammates you'd think they would be able to add a little widget that pulls your rank.

Most of my people left Halo 4, it would be a miracle to get a team of 3 going, my only reason.


So any talk about guests? How should that CSR work with guests :/
