Sweep the leg, stab the head; all in one beautifully fluid motion.

well for me that's sprint. Hell Reach doesn't have them as far as I concerned. This game would have been amazing with just sprint and that's it, but it had to keep the equipment from 3 in some way. They had the problem with jet pack in the beta I hoped for maybe a toggled JP but....never like it much anyway. They should just put crouch on R3 and Sprint on L3. I would miss it on x be that would open up like 2 buttons lol.

If this is truly a gun game, then B as melee wont be bad. Idk, we'll just have to figure out whatever works when the game comes out.

From all the footage I've seen, the AR looks significantly beefed up at close range.
Would be abused to toss the flag further to the capture point.

So I'm replaying "The Covenant" in Halo 3 and I'm remembering how sorely missed these bright, colorful, vibrant and clean environments were in Reach.
Man, I love this level... I think it perfectly encapsulates what makes Halo great.
Hopefully 4 has sprawling beautiful environments like this - but better.

I just wanna see what Reach would look like with no film grain and Halo 3's HDR. Probably would look glorious.

Yes. Also it boots people out after a game finishes, you have to re-invite them to your party after.
Quite frustrating.

Speculating, but I actually kind of expect it to happen. Let's face it, objective gametypes and playlists have largely been a failure in the past two Halo games. I'm sure that 343 is looking for a way to make objective gametypes more appealing to a broader audience, and carrying the flag on your pack would be a change that appeals to that in my opinion.
I love melee on the right bumper, but I'm starting to feel this way as well.

One of my favorite moments in any Halo game:
"Citadel in sight! Brutes are mobilizing everything they got."

Oh come on! We know that you guys are fresh in love!

So good...
The music in this level is appropriately epic as well...
I guess I'm more of a sucker for the Space Opera side rather than the "Grounded and Militaristic side".
It'll be interesting to see which path 4 takes.
Yup did the same thing a while back - not only the looks, but that level from a gameplay standpoint was so, SO FUN! I hope Halo 4 brings out more massive, versatile levels like this. Can't wait.
Oh so that's what happened after my game with biggie last night. I was wondering what the hell was going on.
Had to go work on some commission stuff anyway.
Genius... I'm mostly kidding, but it would be kind of neat. Range would have to be pretty short.

Yeah, my favorite level in Reach was probably Sword Base because of how large it was with beautiful rolling hills and multiple paths.
ODST: Kikowani Station.
Halo 3: The Covenant
Halo 2: Delta Halo/Regret is probably my favorite level, although infiltrating the Covenant's turf was pretty awesome as well.
Halo 1: Two Betrayals, hands down. Awesome awesome level. (Pillar of Autumn is a classic of course)

Ditto, don't get me wrong, I love it. But we also have to be realistic now that we have an AA and Sprint on the controller, while X for grenade definitely isn't the right route, it's a difficult decision to get it just right.
Wow, I fucking agree for every single one of those except Sword Base. Impeccable taste right there.
I feel the same way, mele on the b button just feels like I have to go way too out of the way now.

Stumbled upon this video:
Loud Gun Gameplay
Gives you idea how awesome the new BR and Light Rifle sound. Pretty good quality that isn't muffled through live streams or anything like that. Watch in 720p of course..
High five!
Yeah, Reach is really a toss up for me since I don't have a favorite level really.
Maybe swap out Sword Base with Long Night of Solace.

The scoped in shots from the light rifle sound epic! Nice find.

Sounds clearer to me, being played back at higher bitrate.
I listen through Audiotechnica ATH700's and I can definitely tell the difference between this and Youtube's crap.
I watched it and they are using guns not found in the b-roll as well so your right. cool.
Oh I know, I'd love it though.

BR sounds a bit beefier than it has with the compressed videos,
will probably sound amazing in my headset <3

Frank said something about putting out some uncompressed audio...
Maybe one day.
Hey guy, come here. Just a little closer. Check under this site's videos section and download Halo 4 Commissioning Experience Trailer (330 MB version). Thank the gods that I have given you this information.

Why should it be a spoiler?
Psst. That's my job. Gui is going to be sad.
Question why have you been a junior for so long?
Vire
Member
I'm dumb I understood it wrong lol
I was once a member in the olden times, was demoted to "junior" for being stupid. Some say a mod will grant me mercy, I doubt it. I'm still stupid, please I don't want to talk about this anymore. I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS ANYMORE.

Whatever you say Junior.
Also never noticed the reloading/snapback sounds of the Scattershot. Sounds awesome.
Hehe, downloading now.
I'll be testing it out on my ATH700's.
One shot from the BR /facepalm
Lightrifle sounds BEEF though.

I think it'll be fine. You don't need to hold down the trigger for extended periods of time to throw a grenade, but you need to hold down the trigger for Hardlight Shield and Jetpack. I'd much rather be able to look around while using Hardlight Shield and Jetpack than let my muscle memory dominate my playstyle.
I mean, how often are you turning/jumping/meleeing/switching weapons while throwing a grenade?
You guys aren't helping it slow down.
