So is campaign co-op in or is Spartan Ops our only co-op option? I asked yesterday but it was just people guessing yes.

Both campaign and Spartan Ops can be played solo and co-op up to 4 people (you including).

 

[Vire]

Great catch, man. That ship is more massive than it looks. I wonder what it is – Forerunner?

Holy poo poo, that thing is huge!

Halo 4 is going to have full co-op support. You can betray your friends in the epic journey of Master Chief or in Spartan Ops.

It's the Infinity. You can see the Wargames Room.

So the Infinity simulates the different maps for training? How does it work exactly?

 

[The Librarian]

Where? Either that's not the Infinity, or the scale is way off. No way a CCS Covenant ship is that small in comparison.

So this is an interesting thread at HBO:

http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1143538

Hoovaloov noticed that if you play the Halo 4 video in the main banner ad on ESPN.com (make sure your adblocker is off ), it takes over the screen, and displays some interesting stuff.

When that happened yesterday I thought something was seriously wrong with my monitor for a few seconds.

I hate the word Random. There is no such thing as random. The only instance of something that is random in the history of the universe is the big bang, and only because we don't know enough about it to prove otherwise.
When you say "random" in this context, it is still obviously deterministic, however in the case of weapon spawn times, I think the spawn time would be determined NOT by pseudo-random number generation, but either one of the following:

• The spawn times are scripted on a map basis
• The spawn times are determined based on team scores

Both of which can be memorized.

Okay, so the timers aren't random, but the location and which weapon drops is specifically randomized. So it's random.

It's perfect.

Side note: Anyone that plays Bioshock with the navigation arrow on is seriously doing it wrong.

The one on Adrift or Haven? I said stuff that I think is "lacking," stuff that I want to see more of. I didn't say the Needler was never used, but in the two Gamespot videos he linked, nobody sticks with the Needler long enough to get a good sense at how it plays.

Someone picked it and tried to use it, but got destroyed by the time they had squeezed a few rounds off.

I just bought Too Human...

lol


Hopefully we get the Sparkcast today, and it would be nice to get some confirmation on some technical aspects/details. FOV, shots to kill for different weapons, etc.

 

[Retro]

I've wanted for years but couldn't justify the price. Walked into Gamestop today and it was 5$. Impulse buy lol

You just wasted $5, sir.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Where? Either that's not the Infinity, or the scale is way off. No way a CCS Covenant ship is that small in comparison.

At the end Infinity is based on Forerunner Tech. Can be a Forerunner cruiser but then I'd be pretty disappointed with the design.

yeah it has to be wrong, theres no way the infinity is bigger than an assault carrier.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Diablo 3. Why the hell would you buy Too Human! AgHhhhhh!

 

[Tashi]

One of the best games of this generation for me and I buy a shit ton of games.

I'm not alone?! Hahahah yessssssss

Diablo 3. Why the hell would you buy Too Human! AgHhhhhh!

Diablo 3 is 5$?! Where?!

 

[daedalius]

Based on some of the fiction, I think it is bigger than an assault carrier actually.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Dat scale.

Reminds me of this scene in halo 3, the first time my jaw dropped at something on the 360.

 

[Woorloog]

Shame, i very much like the pale yellow HUD

Me too. And blue isn't even that good choice, it blends far too much against blue sky and walls. And quite many maps feature either of those.
Can't recall having any issues with yellow HUD in ODST, even on day levels, like Dutch's first mission.

 

[Der Flatulator]

CCS Class is 1,782 meters long
UNSC Infinity is 5,632 meters long.

Either the scale is off or it's a new Covenant ship (Perhaps a new corvette class?)

 

[Woorloog]

The Infinity's size is referred as being 3.5 kilometers and 3.5 miles. The latter would be actually longer than an Assault Carrier but we do not know which size is actually correct.

 

[Der Flatulator]

Dat scale.

Reminds me of this scene in halo 3, the first time my jaw dropped at something on the 360.

And the FuD is only a Charon-class frigate. Less than half a kilometer long iirc.

It's miles. = 5.632km...

 

[TheOddOne]

Bg pic for size comparison.

Unrelated to your question, but boy does that give off "The Ark" vibes.

 

[Vire]

Except bigger! I really hope there are massive environments like The Ark.

Is the Sparkcast dropping tonight btw?

The Cruiser design is too off to be Covenant. And how could the remaining Covenant produce such a big ship? Still we do not know what happened to the San'Shyuum and the Engineers.

 

[Gui_PT]

OT, but I recommend you folks wat Indie Game The Movie if you haven't

It's the one in the center I think. Just............shaking.

Haha exactly my thoughts.

Buy it for 69.99. Have much more fun. Sell some items you found in your leisure time. Diablo just cost you - money.

 

[dangerbyrnes]

tried to go by the picture to judge the scale of the infinity, versus what might be a cruiser. came up with this.

i really doubt that's really a cruiser in the pic. thus making the infinity way smaller than this.

 

[Der Flatulator]

OT. Seriously, this image is freaking me out...
I planned on sleeping tonight.

 

[789shadow]

^I can't look away even though she scares the everloving shit out of me.

Exactly my problem. Going insane... I need sleep too. (almost 4am here).

 

[The Librarian]

^^According to Halo nation, a CAS Covenant cruiser is about 5,300 meters in length; the Infinity is 5,600 meters. They're about the same size.

They mentioned how long the ship is. Somewhere.

 

[daedalius]

 

[neoism]

Made this.

Reach is by far the best one.... 4's looks fucking retarded.

this appears to be more accurate, yes?

 

[789shadow]

I'm sorry, but the Halo 4 sniper looks like it was made out of random junk in a garage.

Hopefully the Infinity is smaller. That would be approaching Star Wars EU levels of ridiculous scaling.

 

[BigShow36]

So, wait a second...

The LEAD MULTIPLAYER DESIGNER not only didn't know what affect crouching would have with the Hardlight Shield, but he had never even thought of it as a possibility?

This is why we can't have nice things.

I doubt you *can* crouch with HLS. It already touches the ground whilst standing.

That's not my concern. My concern is that the guy in charge of Multiplayer didn't know and thought it was some amazing revelation when Walshy mentioned it.

 

[lybertyboy]

Or the Covenant ship could be far in the distance...

 

[daedalius]

I guess they decided to put a scope on the sniper since you are looking through a scope when you zoom in; not at a digital screen.

I still think Reach's looks the sleekest, but I understand the design decisions in 4's sniper.

That's not my concern. My concern is that the guy in charge of Multiplayer didn't know and thought it was some amazing revelation when Walshy mentioned it.

What an unqualified scrub; you should take his job. You'd be much better at it.

 

[neoism]

the only thing that will save halo 4 is if it has the covenant sniper.

They fucked up the human design something fierce...... hopefully this is in the game.

 

[789shadow]

Which one of those is the normal Super Star Destroyer from the movies?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Question, why has there not been a line of Spartan/ODST weapons developed? All current human weaponry has sights/scopes on the guns, as the Spartans (and ODST's I believe) use their helmet HUD to aim, why have there not been high end HUD aiming only weapons developed for use by those with helmets?

 

[Retro]

OT. Seriously, this image is freaking me out...

The animated ones are freakier;

I guarantee I would be.

executor class is the one in the movies. making the eclipse ludicrous scale.
