We aren't actually excited to play the game, we're just saying nice things to protect 343's feelings. Duh Tashi
Ah, sorry i agree with you, I meant to address my question to the person you were quoting. My bad :/

Ok, Dyke-stopper.
all other opinions are just BKs slurping.
Crazy cat lady has a point, also BTB lobby is going to look awkward.

It is all change for the sake of change. I'm all "if it ain't broke...". That said, all of the previous lobby UIs were great and I felt like each iteration improved upon the other by making it more intuitive to use.
That said, like you I preferred the blue to the grey.

Sure it might not be as good as reach UI in your opinion. But would you enjoy the game less if its still functional? All Im saying is try it before saying you dont like it, cause you never know you might enjoy it

Forgot about ODST UI. They did a similar player card type read-out but vertical, maybe the H4 players could be a card, but a vertical list on the right that expands when highlighted.

I wish there was a Halo event in flyover country (STL or at least Chicago).
Sucks being in the center of the nation. I wish I could move back to Seattle.

Here's what I'd like from a UI without the hysterics:
Clear menu of who is in my lobby (which previous games had and was fine)
Drop down for game type
Drop down for map
A list like Halo 2 that exhibits certain game choices (type of assault, ctf, weapon starts)
I don't know why start game is taking up that much real estate or why there is a row of friends when a column to the right was simple and easy for every single previous game. Or why there are huge icons that don't supply us with any information. And I certainly don't want to press a damn button just to see who's in my room.

It worse not being in the US trust me. UK gets no love.
good I hope I can play it before launch, hope the Email from the Gamescom guys is correct
Till now nothing else in Europe has been confirmed for Halo4 hands on right?
I don't know if EuroExpo has been confirmed to habe Halo 4, so yeah, nothing I think.
I don't like many of these juniors. Just gonna say it's gonna take quite a bit to make me appreciate them.
Yeah. I'll post my next week's schedule in the tourney thread.When do they have to be played by again?
np. Addressing your butteriness comment on the previous page, there's hardly a difference between moving the stick right and pressing X.

I know that feel man. Doubt any Halo events are happening in Kentucky, haha.
End of Wednesday.
He's the only one who say's bad stuff about the game directly to the makers, E.G. Frank/Ellis.

How can a UI with 4 items be more cluttered?
Gametype, map, start and friends. That's all you need to see. All the more in-depth options people will sometimes use are hidden away somewhat. That's some good Nielson shit right there

There were also way fewer players in a given ODST lobby. 16 players in that overlapping card lobby seems like it would be a giant pain in the ass to navigate. A vertical expanding list is just the Reach lobby, which is fine.
I just think it looks like a UI designed for Kinect.

ODST could get away with it because the maximum lobby size was four.
I'm not sure how the Halo 4 lobby will look with sixteen players...

Based on Iphone experience only Retina display is not a huge leap. Its nice sure but id say with good certainty that a macbook will have a decent display either way.
Are you really in the market for a macbook or just against shopping around for a viable laptop?
Sure it might not be as good as reach UI in your opinion. But would you enjoy the game less if its still functional? All Im saying is try it before saying you dont like it, cause you never know you might enjoy it
Yes. I spend a lot I time in the lobby considering, If it isn't as easy to use, it will frustrate me.
It's not preorder cancelled type deal, but when there was an excellent example they could have kept with, I don't know why they would use their precious resources on making the UI worse :/
If there's ever a Halo event in Chicago, I will personally pick up any Iowa HaloGaffer and go.
Thanks.
He thinks he's sooooo cool using Ken's avatar like that and stuff.

Finished the Forge video. I'm not a Forger at least, I've tried to be, but it's not something I like to spend a whole lot of time doing. 343 seems to have made the mode even easier to use and make the learning curve even smaller from Reach's iteration. That's all good.
On to the Longbow games.

Edit, because I remembered wrong:
He asked an organizer at gamescom if Microsoft will be at gamescom. They said no, but there will be still Xbox 360 games to play.
Long time Mac user looking to upgrade. About to walk in the Apple store and pull the trigger, only issue is 512gb retina vs 1tb storage with the non retina.

True enough, but you have free healthcare for the most part and shorter work hours, and hotter women.
Yep being in flyover country sucks, at least they are in Texas this year.

You forgot about the juniors who come in and try to ride kyles dee and act the way he does.
The thing about kyle is he isn't a hater, he is a concerned and skilled player. Others emulating him don't get that.
Id go with the 1TB unit, surely if you say you're going to buy one they will let you have a quick comparison of the screens.
They said microsoft will not attending the press meeting, but there still will be xbox 360 games and also the big exclusive titles playable.
Yeah, who does he think he is? Smh these juniors.
If only there were a Beta
>Skilled
>At Reach
I lol'd.
I'm a concerned player aswell, I haven't totally put it down, yet, but if I don't start seeing interesting things soon, I guess Halo 3 will be one of the only games I play for the next 3/4 years.
