Id say 20% then
Fair enough, I'm just greatly disappointed by the new stuff they've shown. Really, what the fuck.
Id say 99%.

Its not not. Over is buying the game we all know it.
I like most of the design choices, but a few of them, the Warthog especially, feel like change just for the sake of change. Overall, I find the game aesthetically pleasing (except for the gray forge demo today) though.
In other news, still haven't preordered it. Not that I don't want the game, I'm just waiting to preorder it at a store near the college I move to in a month. Not sure where to go though. Thinking Best Buy, for the shorter lines and the lithograph.
edit: Seriously, why the hell is there a Halo in the menus? :O

So I guess fall damage is in? I thought it had been removed, but that Forge demo had one section dedicated to placing an invulnerable trait zone to counter it...
Is that, that bottom thing in the menu...or class system...?
That must make you feel great! Good job!
Over, chill out man. The way you are posting automatically makes people either ignore your concerns and get annoyed.
I agree that forge sounds underwhelming (still haven't/can't watch it), but there are some great additions in there. I can't imagine why 343 would show off a grey/silver pallette if they have other pallettes on offer. It is shooting themselves in the foot if so, hype wise. That makes me wonder if it will be a FW/tempest deal with a different environment, but the same pieces.
Thats the joke

Guess I'm confused at the hatred of the UI, it looks great. Reach's UI looks old and dated, from what we've seen of H4's (non-final) UI it looks clean and nice.

I think 343 made a poor choice by demoing the same color palette seen in previous Halo games, if they showed off something new first, I don't think there would be the same backlash.
This is all assuming Frankie isn't blowing up smoke up my ass and that these other palettes are genuinely different. I also hope that the ground textures, water and modeling in the environment wasn't final. Some of it looked pretty rough...
Hopefully a ViDoc or something can clear the waters.
Anywho, on a more positive note, Longbow looked like a lot of fun! And I don't mind the UI.

You would. hahaha
But really, I don't see what 343 is doing with this lobby.
Halo 2:
Halo 3:
ODST:
Halo: Reach
And now this?
Halo 2 pioneered a great console party/lobby system and now you are going to completely change one of the most iconic UIs ever?
This style UI has been copied many times simply because it works.
Modern Warfare:
Gears of War:
This new UI looks like waypoint, which is not a good thing.
Also, sorry for all of different sizes and variations in quality of the images. They were the best I could find quickly.

Highest Halo 3 level and which playlist.
50, MLG, Team Slayer, Team Doubles, Team Swat, (not sure if I got Lone Wolves) on PuR3 Critical
AR or BR?
BR
Absolute favorite multiplayer map from Combat Evolved, Halo 2 and 3 (just one from each).
CE: Never played the multiplayer, played the campaign though.
Halo 2: Probably Lockout
Halo 3: The Pit
Least hated Reach mp map.(excluding Anniversary pack)
...I honestly have no idea of any of the maps names except the Pit remake on MLG and Zealot
Do you prefer BTB or MLG? (pre-Reach era)
MLG
Competitive multiplayer or Firefight?
Competitive Multiplayer, never really got the point of Firefight.
Games completed on solo Legendary.
Halo 3
Are you EazyB? Mike DongBlain?
Honestly da what?
What are some of your favorite Campaign missions.
Never really enjoyed Halo's campaign that much, the story line is good, but the missions were extremely boring.
Favorite Reach playlists.
Hardly play Reach, but MLG.
Size of frankie erotica folder (in megabytes).
.......
Opinion on reticule bloom.
Don't like, do not like at all...
Opinion on Armor Abilities and the one you usually end up picking.
Well seeing as H3 doesn't have AA's...
Why are you a Halo fan?
Because of its unique gameplay.
Favorite Halogaffer, and least favorite (besides Dax). (optional)
KyleJ, he's one of the only ones who actually says what he thinks about H4, although Cyren is cool as he's pretty much the biggest guy on THC.
Don't not like any.
Now feel free to introduce yourself and/or share anything you want so we get to know you better, some of us would enjoy reading it. (optional)

This Halo Ring + Planet thing is odd. That's not a requiem....
Shuffling is great.
What's the point of bold font if you bold everything.

Lots of game UIs are an absolute mess most of the time. The hierarchy and useless sizes of things. If something is broke why fix it? Why is there a row of players? I'd want to see who's in the room more than those huge icons. Wasted space, lack of consistent grid. It's just disappointing.
Who knew? Opinions CAN be wrong!
I kid, I kid.
Seriously though, what do you like about the UI?
So with next week Comic Con this thread is going to explode right?
Means only if there will be some new stuff on Comic Con.
Don't like the menu, but it is not one of the parts that is really important for me.
Gameplay looked good, forge has improvements and was only one of three FWs and the "grey" had also a new smoother tone.

He's Dutch, there's only 3 things he can do. Smoke weed, Play BF3 and Play Halo.
You're gonna see him on there.
I'm with you, I don't see a problem with it.
Wut. Read Barlows post above.
they are talking about assumed functionality as it relates to appearance - and it is a reasonable worry without trying it. In reality its buttery smoove and easy to use. That's a battle I am willing to concede til launch since you absolutely have to use it to get it.
Halo 4 MP better not be filled with a 100 shitty Forge maps like in Reach if the Forge is really as disappointing as I think it is. I'd rather not look at so many grey Forge maps again.
Seriously, the biggest complain about Reach Forge is how grey it looks and you show more grey objects? I don't get it.

Deadly Cyclone you like everything so you don't count.
With Forge being revealed at RTX I think its safe to say Comic-con will have the lore side of Halo and maybe a reveal of a new MP map during the Multiplayer panel.

I'm not hard to please at all. Previous Halos had the right direction, just needed clean up or to utilize wasted space. This current version though? Why is something like start game huge? What's the design decision there?

I guess I can see that in the custom game UI, but everything else looks clean and nice to me. From what I can tell you can see the names of everyone on the edges of those cards, but yeah, a list may be better.
Almost no one will be, because we have to get back home from the store.
Why do I have to turn my head sideways to read the player names?
I didn't know he was a Hollander. Massive upgrade - but they have too many words for their country and its citizens. Dutch, Netherlands, Holland, Dyke-stoppers, Ruud, etc.

My neck is going to hurt if I have to turn my head sideways every time I want to see who's in my lobby.
Wellllll too much bold for me to read.

Gotta agree with this, from a visual aesthetic standpoint the UI looks cluttered and messy. Im a big fan of the UI in Halo 2 and 3 and while i dont mind the Reach UI i preferred the blue from previous games.
I really seen no need to update the UI. It might be alot better when we use it and its probably not finalized yet and i don't really like to shit on other peoples work but I hope it gets a less bulky more streamlined overhaul before launch.
Its not game breaking but still
But the 'active roster' requires a button press ala Halo 2 right? Does that not impede the 'butteriness' when sending invites and checking friends? Adding another step to it would seem to make it less smooth. Serious question.
I was mostly confused about the "Reach looks old and outdated" part. I don't care about the UI unless it is difficult to navigate. It still looks easy to understand and easy to follow. Active Roster still exists in the form of a button(that I totes called on HaloGAF Radio). It's not like the clusterfuck of MW2/MW3 where certain things are in Barracks and other shit that doesn't make sense(although War Games and Spec Ops are starting to ring a bell here).
