Frag grenades seemed to do the trick.
They threw the plasma back but didn't have enough time to do the same with the frag before it exploded.

No, I think he shot the flying guy and then the frag exploded into that group of enemies.
No no, it fills up you ordinance meter, as in being able to call in power weapons, as in killstreak rewards.

I know what you're talking about, but it suspended the plasma way too long for it to be the traditional timer. I think what happened was:
Chief throws grenade.
Watcher catches grenade, disabling its shielding functionary.
Chief shoots and kills the Watcher, dropping the frag between the three Crawlers that got "summoned" by the Watcher.
Chief's hard light shot + the frag kill the three Crawlers.
haha It was funny seeing the elite push the grunt.
Looking forward to more Spartan Ops stuff and that several hundred player Planetside 2 demo tomorrow.
Yup. Went back and watched it. Was just going based on my spotty memory.

Could someone gif that boss turn for me please? A deal with it version would be nice as well.

Now that I'm sitting here fully digesting the games we saw today, the wait for this game is going to be fucking brutal.
remember the politician"repurposing" this mysterious starship is doing what ONI tells him to. The dates should clue you in to a minor subterfuge.

Sounds like you want the spike grenade from HALO 3 back. I know I do.

Yes please! What software do you guys use to gif? Mine is horrible!
Doesn't he post under "Frankie", not "frankie"?

Still worried about MP. The idea of getting kills leading to weapon spawns is just too killstreaky.

This one reminds me of the Laptop Gun assembling itself in PD.
Influences from the Metroid arm cannon animations and the Perfect Dark Callisto NTG. sogood.gif

The pistol looks weak again. Boo. After the MS conference I had to go to sleep since I work overnight and wanted to watch the Thunder/Spurs game beforehand. Just watched some of the other footage of Halo4 and it looks pretty good, much better than Reach (fingers crossed).

It's been said that the game has a very strong Metroid influence, but it also definitely has a very strong Tron influence too. I'd say it's basically a Halo/Tron/Metroid crossover.

Well, after all of today's festivities, it's time to call it a night.
Today was a great day to be a Halo fan <3.
I'm beyond excited and can't wait to see what is in store for the rest of the week.
Thank you 343i for all the hard work you're putting into this game, it looks fantastic.
153 days :'D

Yo.
Don't know if it's been talked about already but :
Don't know if it's been talked about already but :
1/ Didact is antagonist confirmed?
2/ Ship in Primordium borded by GS² is not Infinity
3/ Didact? brings Infinity to Requiem on purpose
4/ Large number of Covies is somewhat contradictory to a religious uprising and what does the Arbiter do in all this?
5/ Didact's focus doesn't seem to kill to Chief (Giant globe flees to crash site without even throwing an attack) yet animal AIs are very hostile
I suppose the antagonism betwwen The Chief and The Didact? is due to the passing of the Mantle, and the voice over at the end of the trailer specifically calls the Chief the Reclaimer.
Voice is definitely old and dangerous. Is the Didact? disembodied? how come he gets to sound old when Forerunner tech could have kept him in relative Prime?
Peace exploration is bullshit, yet it seems the Infinity is brought to Requiem and not the way around. What purpose serves bringing a top of the line Starship to Requiem?
Spartan Ops have fighteable Forerunner AIs, does this confirm the UNSC Fleet at the end of Primordium is indeed engaged in combat vs Forerunners (and vs Covies)
How long will the story drag around Forerunners when it's been already pointed at Precursors are an even bigger threat?
Why do the bipedal AIs host skeletons (clinging limbs and skeletal faces? are those Forerunners or humans? forerunners are supposed to be pretty tall)
How the fuck do Sphinxes look like?
Why on earth do I have to see the Didact?'s logo associated with an evil and old voice when he's a superb warrior, a champion of Life and the smoothest lover in the galaxy?

Allelujah!!!!
God damn me I hope it's the Master Builder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate his fucking voice, and a smooth lover doesn't choose orange as his color ;-)
Is there a capture of the logo yet?
yet the Didact is referenced to in Anniversary Terminals and the logo is a close match...fufufufufufufufufuck I hope 343i is not gonna ruin the man crush I have for the DIdact.
And by the way, the Forerunners weapons suspended animations are akin to the self building logo from trailers, they're smoother than a baby's ass, so good.

Sorry, but was there a video that broke-down what happens in the campaign reveal moment-to-moment?
I thought I glanced over a link but now I can't find it.
Thanks.

This is probably not what you're looking for, but Frankie talks a little bit about the new enemies. Nothing on the actually story or what is taking place.

Sadly, the Magnum's main purpose in Halo at this point is just to slap the fans in the face a bit as they yearn for the days when Halo had an awesome pistol. :/
Can't wait for hopefully a good chunk of footage tomorrow.

I think it's safe to say that is the Didact's symbol.

Yeah, dont know why the line is touching the edges though, now I have to change my avatar
Yeah, I saw that. Pretty neat.
I totally agree with them, though I was little surprised. I mean shit, even Watch_Dogs got swept to the side by Jeff and that looks pretty damn cool going by the demo.
That and even people on n4g are impressed by it, and that is rare for anything on the xbox on that site.
Some of my caps of the Spike Spartan Ops vid with useless commentary:
Also if anybody wants something framegrabbed or giffed, PM me
Is this Raparound? Lighting seems to have changed and looks darker now.
Ordanance Drop!
I can only make out the helmet armor customization, seems there are 7 ways to customize your Spartan IV's.
Unicorns?
Each episode has chapters?
A couple chapters are named:
1. Land Grab
2. Sniper Alley
3. The Challenge
4. Sacred
5. Core

I wonder what's making the naysayers so impressed, we have barely seen anything so far, I hope it's gameplay and not graphics which are getting people on board!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure, too.
I think its finally enemy combat verity and art style.
