Wait til you see the Forerunner Sniper!

Yeah, I still use the default because it's better than the Hat upgrade or the gasmask upgrade :/

It can shoot through walls! Perfect for Forerunner Version, available for 500,000 Spartan Points from the Spartan Store!
We were talking about that idea days before the Crysis 3 stuff was revealed.

Yea, maybe the assault rifle should tie br at close mid range, and the pistol would tie the br at mid range. The Carbine rifle could be in between dmr and br, and the asssault carbine (I think thats what its called?) could be slightly closer range than assault.

I doubt Frankie and David can say anything, but it would be interesting to know what the estimated time requirements will be for unlocking stuff. I'd prefer weapons and abilities to come off the list first and not after too much time, while purely aesthetic stuff like new armor taking a little while longer. The stuff in Reach took ridiculously too long in my opinion.
That could also be like a secondary use for weapons kind of like Perfect Dark. That pistol with the crazy looking rocket-piece on it could be just such a thing.
Same. Not really a fan of 5 shot kills.
I've been wondering about the magnum this whole time. Is it going to be another weiner weapon like it was in Halo3? The pistol in Reach was a big improvement, but Bungie still gimped the crap out of it making a weak weapon choice. Personally, and probably against most people's opinions, I'd prefer to see the AR only really useful at super close range a la the shotgun. It's such a cop out/crutch weapon. The pistol should be a highly effective counter to the AR at mid to close range (excluding the uber close range I just mentioned). Or maybe they could just take the AR out of the game like Halo2
I'm sick of it trying to be balanced into Halo. It's the closest thing to a Call of Duty weapon in the series...Tha Robbertster

ODST helmet has to be there for sure. Easily one of my favorite helmets in the Halo universe.

No doubt.
Unarguably the best helmet.
God damn it people. Stop doing this to me. Or someone PM me if it can't be spoken of or some weird illuminati shit.

My space ghost setup disagrees
lol, I actually used that until I unlocked Grenadier, then I used Grenadier up until Commando.
The only helmets I don't want to return because they have absolutely no redeeming value is GUNGNIR and EOD.
Those are some ugly helms.
From a canonical perpective I wish they'd actually have less armor chunks and a greater variety of smaller add-ons and tweaks. It makes no sense that they developed three dozen armor perms that were only ever used by a dozen Spartans at most.

Shotguns and Swords aren't power weapons anymore?
Man, I really hate the shoes in Reach.My space ghost setup disagrees

One of the better ones, yes. Is it better than Security with mutton chops or EOD? No.

Gotta admit, that does look damn nice. Although I still think my space ghost looks more "hyper-lethal". I've made whole militia groups disappear ya know.
Edit: It'd be cool if the Spartan pics in Halo 4 showed you posing with your deadliest weapon, stats wise.

Grenadier was my favorite. Add in the gold visor and it's beastly. The Security helmet in Reach was a letdown
.
Would I use this if it were available? Yes, yes I would.
Maybe even this!

Yeah, they need to increase the size, add a monk chant when it pops up and have an animated font yet.
As long as its not like battlefield, which literally obscured combat with like 50 pop ups at a time, I will be fine with it, seems small enough. I would prefer to just have medals and killfeed in the lower left like in the past, but the ADHD crowd probably need more than that lol.

I would love to get some more sci-fi inspired armor, both retro and modern.. Also, I wonder what the odds of unlocking forerunner armor will eventually be.
I do wonder what type of guns will be available as secondary weapons, and if we will see things like the 'missile pistol' available.
Yup, sounds like you start with AR primary, pistol secondary and have to unlock other weapons that fit those roles mentioned. I also suspect there to be more variations of simliar weapons like BR/DMR/Carbine/NR.

I wouldn't mind this. That or something like the Gears 2 "flashback mappack", maybe allow Certain Affinity to get some day 1 maps out there.
I could see the AR as a hard to unlock secondary. As for swords/shotguns/etc I am wondering the same thing. I assume map based weapons will continue to spawn normally with only certain weapons using the ordinance system.. I hope 343 covers this information more thoroughly after the GI exclusivity is over.
I would love for some more out there weapons that tied into the universe in a grounded way, I like the idea of an energy bow from the Jackals.. The energy spears that the elites used would also be a cool weapon.
Halo 4 needs 3's Rogue, Scout and Recon helmets.
So cool looking. Obviously Mk. IV is top priority though.
Love that chest piece on the recon. Is that one in Reach?

While Halo 3's helmets need a few more passes to make them a little less goofy sometimes, I agree they stood out more than they do in Reach.. Also, Reach butchered the awesome EVA helmet.. Hm I wonder if we will get Ghosts of Onyx SPI armor..
I find it less annoying than armor effects to be perfectly honest, but I get the complaint.. Ill live if it isn't place holder, I think I would forget and get used to it pretty quickly.

I hate bulk, so I go for the least bulky Spartan possible. I was using the female model until recently. I hate the people that put every huge armor piece imaginable on their Spartan and make them look ridiculous.

Damn, no love for Pilot? I've rolled that since I first scraped together enough credits.

If they remove the Whistler/Glory Hole/Smoking Hole, then sure.

The armor perms are one of the things I'm most excited about. I get positively giddy (it's bad) when thinking of having a bunch of new (and returning) armor pieces (especially helmets) to look at and see the fictional setting involved (felt like I needed more parentheses).
Can't wait to see more. Wouldn't mind seeing the Halo 3-style Marine pilot helmet available as an option.

The hell is wrong with what I said?
They're usually nice enough to let us know when we're worrying about something we shouldn't.
I'm not demanding anything. But they usually comment in situations like this. If not, it's because that's what it'll be like when the game's done.

DA BEST. I dunno, I just really like default Six. Technically VGA trailer Six since they eventually changed the kneepads and removed the little hat thingy for the default, but this is the original!
No, that's Halo 3's Recon chest, I don't think Reach has anything that cool.
Which reminds me of how Halo 3's armor permutations were mainly replacements for armor pieces, like an dntire new chest piece, or a new set of shoulders, whereas Reach gives you a set piece of chest armor and only lets you attach smaller plating and bags and such on top of it. I vastly prefer Halo 3's method, if only there were more unique armor pieces (and places to put them) it would make each Spartan look much more unique.

I actually do like the Pilot, it looks unique and I could imagine in on a spartan during SP, here is how I have been using it lately:

Oh hell yeah. Pilot is badass (sans the toupee in my opinion). That's what I rock as well. Not to mention that Noble Six (B-312) was, well, a freaking pilot.
I actually really like Operator as well, if for nothing else than it has a badass fictional relevance behind it.

While playing Reach I can never differentiate between armour pieces. On a slight tangeant the Halo 4 Spartans look incredible, as soon as I can get rid of the huge chin I think they will be the best looking Spartans so far.
I agree, its really useless, im hoping its placeholder but if its not, hopefully its discreet and not going to be too distracting.

Silly as it is, I always found it tough to go with the Mk V(b), especially in a Steel like that, as it felt like that was Thom's Six. Always felt weird seeing it on B-312.

I played my first MLG match today and it was a lot of fun.
First I thought we would lose badly because we were behind 3 flags for 8-10minutes and then we captured 3 flags. So we got to a tie of 4vs4. Unfortunately they got the last flag.

Well can I get an optional comic font style mode where if I snipe someone it says "BLAINERRRRRRR!!!" then I go for the dub but get scoped out but still get the headshot "NOSCOOOPE!"
Then later I out DMR a kid and its like GET SHIT ON!

Operator is great, I used it from when I first bought it until I could afford Mk. V. Pilot is pretty nice too, I never noticed how good the gold visor makes it look. Kind of cool how armor color and visor color can totally change the look of a helmet.
