Halo 2 was soo good post patch, still the king, though the speed of Halo 4 MP has me very excited.

They are not perks, everyone needs to stop calling them perks.
All that has been said so far is that your armor now affects gameplay.
So maybe if you have lighter armor, you can sprint.
Of you have heavier armor you can take more damage to the chest, but move slower.
Or if you have a more advanced visor, you have 3D motion censor. Etc.
A new layer has to be added to keep the game fresh, hopefully they implement it right.

That's the only remake that I would get excited about.. well maybe Waterworks too.
Valhalla must happen though.
It does look a little omnitonal and bright, but that might just be the cinematic stuff in the engine and the flybys.
Forerunner architecture has always been interesting, the problem with Forge World is that creating everything out of the same pieces is disorienting visually. It wasn't the grey that was the problem, it was the fact that *everything* was grey.
Haha that made my day. It is a freezing Hell when someone mentions Waterworks--probably the most forgotten Halo map save for Chiron. I never really played it since I was networking 'boxes and never had a big enough team.

Valhalla would be awesome with some tweaks or additions. But no other remakes please. Give us more inspired by maps.
Midship remake should be required.
Under your scenario, your opponent isn't more or less likely to have a power weapon. And are you implying predictable respawn times do oppose one's ability to counter anything?

Wraparound look very, very nice. Reminds me of the forerunner scenery from halo wars.
Not a big fan of the name though.

You know, I'd be very happy if every on disc map is original and they kept the remakes for DLC.
I think we really need some good original maps in Halo to keep things fresh.

I like it juxtaposed against a more organic environment but on its own it can look quite bland IMO.

It's clear that 343i has a clear vision for where they want to take the game, and they are confident in it.
I'm cool with letting them do their own thing.

Pro: Beta is fun.
Con: Xand hates fun.
Pro: Beta's improve quality.
Con: Xand wants Armour Lock in Halo 4.
Pro: Beta's are enjoyable for the entire community, whether you are a child or a adult
Con: Xand would rather those children werent on the halo beta so he could continue perving on them.
Pro: Beta's are worldwide
Con: Cali is too cool to be part of the rest of the world.
Conversation wasnt that good. :/
No but really, I would like a beta, but I guess if its not happening, its not happening. I hope 343 have a good test strategy in place, I assume they can do a nice internal beta with the might of MS?

Like Elzar, I'm definitely not a fan of the name.

Yup, I would be happy with this.
It's a conversation with Xand, you have to set your expectations accordingly.

I'm very curious as to how this multiplayer fiction is going to affect the maps. Before it was just fine and dandy to have a map on any planet without having to really explain why (or explaining, but in a fun outrageous fashion). But now since it's supposedly part of the story I'm wondering if it's all going to have to be localized to where the story takes place.

Fixed.
Yup, had the same thought. Human design, makes sense the FUD would be beaten up.
I'll go one further: the rule for Halo 4 should be, all new maps. Spiritual successors, sure (Blood Gulch --> Valhalla), but no remakes. Start the series anew.
Scale 1-10 how happy are you?
I'm holding on to the BELI343 bro, I'm holding!

Yes, this completely, I mean it didn't hurt halo 3, for example guardian and avalanche became some of favourites from that game.
10, since bleedthrough belongs in the Halo 1 simulation? Otherwise they moot all the money and time they spent implementing the Halo 1 pistol.
Right but based on what Frank said, that's not likely going to happen. In terms of getting an early taste, a demo is the next best thing.
Better than nothing. That's all I meant by my post.

I'd be happy with that too, but it just makes too much sense. It's too good. So it won't happen. We know it won't. =/

I like the sound of that!
Do you have some anti-idiot tech from the future to loan 343?

Money and time? Didn't shishka do it by himself whilst taking a shit one day at the office?
I had less problem in Halo 2 and 3, FWIW (talking about the Ranked playlists of course, Social was still garbage skill-wise)
No. I'm saying that they both have a place in competitive Halo. To outright say one isn't competitive based on the status quo seems a little close minded to me.
What are you talking about heckfu? (Honest question, didn't see anything)
I'm impressed so far though, I love the fact that we got rid of the grit and got some vibrant Red and Blue that stick out from the rest of the map. Bloom is out it seems (thank God!), is hitscan still in?

There;s no real solid confirmation of how multiplayer works, or even modes discussed. I think the problem is coming from the sheer weight of journalists asking 343 about COD to the point where the actual confirmed information, or lack thereof, is getting obscured.
Last page or two of the H4 thread in Gaming.

Technical hosting issues. Currently waiting for the hosting's technical support to stop having technical issues so that I can ask them about my technical issues. =/
Try again, might be up now.
