It looks to me like the cruiser's behind the Infinity, but directly below it in the picture to give off the illusion that it's "under" it. More likely, it's just further away.

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?

Holy shit, that makes the Eclipse basically the size of the fucking Death Star.

Well, that would make perfect sense. I thought of that earlier, but it does look like the cruiser is in front of the Infinity.
I don't buy that it's behind the Infinity. Those things coming down, even if they aren't part of the Infinity itself, are clearly in front of the Infinity proper, and the Covenant ship is clearly in front of them.Well, that would make perfect sense.

there is, all the halo pistols have no visible scopes, they only zoom in via hudlink. and i don't even know where some of the scopes from covenant weapons come from. the beam rifle for instance.
I also found it funny how he didn't know if walking forward and throwing a grenade would make it go farther than if you just stood there and throw the grenade.

If it's farther away that would make sense, but the picture makes it look like it's in front of the Infinity (if it is that), making it not seem farther away.

The animated ones are freakier;
I think the caption is what makes it so ... ... petrifying...
Of course, most of GAF is more concerned about what Covenant cruiser is shown in a random screen grab.

Yea, lets discuss if grenades go further if you're standing still or not. Lots to discuss right?!
Maybe you should hop onto all of the other games and find out for yourself first thing jr. gameplay sandbox designer.
how close is H4 to halo 3 (multiplayer) based on what has been shown? ive been trying to avoid media
talking to a friend he saw the commercial last night and was all hyped. his exact quote was "Haha it was serious man, they need to bring that same gameplay back, I was addicted". referring to h3..he didn't play Reach all that much...

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.
So beatiful. Always loved Beam Rifle's desing.

It's very close. Lots of new stuff, but the core gameplay seems to be very Halo 3-esque (a very good thing imo)

Yeah I know that they all specialize in certain areas and he might not know every little nook and cranny about the engine that the crack programmers have coded, but I was shocked that he didn't know some of the answers to what I thought seemed like pretty typical behavior with a item of the sandbox.
Just from memory, when Sage did those lengthy podcasts for Bungie, there didn't appear to be anything about the sandbox that he didn't know, down to some really little details.
Should we start a "Hire Bigshow" initiative?

I would play a multiplayer game designed by BigShow36.
Of course you do. I think that was Trey's point.
I haven't seen the interview BigShow36 brought up, but if it's been represented accurately, it doesn't sound good.

Sage was a sandbox designer. Kevin is a Multiplayer designer. Very different jobs.

Hmm...I don't know about that. When the Super Star Destroyer crashes into the second Death Star in Return of the Jedi, the camera pulls in close as we see the Executor (a massive, massive ship) pierce the Death Star, yet we still don't see the curvature of the Death Star.
Keep in mind, we just saw the second-largest ship in the SW movies crash into the largest, but it still looked tiny. The Eclipse-class Star Destoyer wouldn't be nearly the size of a Death Star.
By the way, I was always under the impression that the Eclipse-class starship seen in that graph was nothing more than a fan-creation. Is this not true?
It's removed Reach's inertia and gave more freedom to players, but it's still going to have armor abilities, and new things like specializations (resupply, shields, think a Halo Battlefield of sorts), and loadouts where you can customize how you want.
BR, DMR, Carbine, all in, plus new Forerunner weapons. It's more closer to Reach than any of the previous 1-3 Halo's, but the changes might be really good if implemented properly in the playlists at launch.
There was no sarcasm in my post, breh.
I also wonder why, if the Empire had the Eclipse during the second Death Star fight, why they didn't use it. Instant win.

Kevin is the LEAD War Games designer. He should know almost everything about War Games. I didn't feel the questions he was being asked were difficult, definitely felt like stuff he should have known.

Cool, I'd love to meet you guys (and gals). I was planning on being out of town that weekend, but I'll see if I can't do some re-arranging of my schedule.
That's exactly what I was thinking, but with more sounds. :-D

I would have been better than shishka in h3 playlist management. Just think about it dude was literally switched out for Reach. He was terrible.
It's not an if and or but. I would have flown in with massive adaption n taken reigns like an alpha wolf.

Death Star II was 900 kilometers in Diameter.
Executor class destroyer was 17.6 kilometers long.
Executor class destroyer was 17.6 kilometers long.
That's accurate. Death stars are big...
Yeah, the dude didn't know if moving forward while throwing a grenade had an impact on the grenades velocity / trajectory. What the hell.
All I know is that while some of the decisions around Halo 4 seem a bit strange, the base gameplay looks to be returning to the type of Halo I want to play. And that is really all that matters. I put up with shitty playlist management and questionable decisions with Halo 3 up until Reach launched because the game was fun. I moved on from Reach within a few months.

Well, I'd personally consider most of the EU to be fan fiction you pay for (zing!), but it's indeed something described. I actually can remember a Star Destroyer being described that was supposed to be something like 170km in length. :lol
I'm not going to argue something like this, seeing as how its impossible for me to prove it to anyone.
That's cause you know me outside of GAF, and know how awesome I am.

At 5:20 in that video. Crouching with the Hardlight shield was a "new sandbox combination they had never thought of."

Heh, the Sticky D looks good to me. Shoot it to a surface, wait for enemy to come around the corner, and boom. The MLG kids were mistakenly trying to use it like the Reach grenade launcher. If they knew how to use it I think we'd be a lot more impressed.

Why did you even bother claiming you could do someone's job better when it's impossible for you to prove it to anyone?
Oh right, you're being a jerk.
Is it "jerkful" to state the truth?
Was that the Lead Multiplayer designer? For real?
So according to this page:
does anyone else see a covenant cruiser? i don't think it could be, cause there's no way the infinity is that large. mini-cruiser?
http://halo.bungie.org/misc/sloftus_scalecomparison/1280.html?display=capitalshipscale
The Covenant Battle Cruiser is 1,782m - or about 1.1 miles long.
The Infinity is 3 miles long.
So yeah... either it's a perspective thing... or we're dealing with miniships.
Edit: DOH! Should have reloaded the page before I started speculating. Old news now.
