Although, you were getting flak from HeckFu, I agree with you completely. I'll try to do adhere to it myself from now on, however, I will spam notifications of me being on H3 from time to time.
Next vidoc will apear from cell phone footage.
In a shed.
Why is it strange?
Juices should have replied "But... I thought-"
EDIT gotta check the cinematics transcript... i hope i rememberd the lines right.
EDIT Duh, didn't quite remember it right. Placement of the lines..
Prophet of Truth: "You may leave, Tartarus."
Tartarus: "But...I thought—"
Prophet of Truth: "And take your Brutes with you."
The Coag/Blood Gulch type maps are completely fine if the vehicle combat, gametypes, and basic general settings (i.e. sprints, jetpacks, etc.) are properly balanced. With the abundance of new quirks we've been dealt with since Halo 3, like the vehicle stun, the plasma pistol EMP, Spartan Laser, and so on, it's been a forgetful experience overall. Too much commotion without enough substance. But I s'pose that is "modern Halo". :|
As for future BTB maps. I can't agree with builds like Valhalla getting pulled off well. Even with the inconsistent BR in 3 it still held down players at their own base far too often. Now you would factor in a 3x zoom DMR, which is either extremely likely, and hitscan, which I personally have no problem with. It would derail the map and basically make it one sided, and pretty handily. The size needs increased, and I'm sure we'll get large based big team maps. That's where Tempest falls short - it's better for your typical 5v5 or 6v6 contest, which seems to fit in Halo 4's Objective style playlist. We'll probably see more maps like that, in terms of size. Hopefully there's enough asymmetrical maps to go around this time. You had your rarities in High Ground and Powerhouse, but there's not enough, and even those were fairly mediocre compared to something like Zanzibar. In the coming months, hopefully we see more reveals on the new maps. Make the Bulletin useful.

Did the Carbine really get nerfed? Looked like a beast.

If there are 15 primary weapons, there will be plenty more nerfing.
Don't assume anything at all until the game is in your hands.Did the Carbine really get nerfed? Looked like a beast.
That's assuming they don't release a teaser campaign or multi trailer, don't give us direct feeds, BTS or show another map closer to release.
We've still got a fair ways to go before the marketing train rolls up, but I don't doubt we'll see something besides ranks. Most people don't care that much about that.

I find this statement really confusing. Is it a personal bias thing about what you're interested in? Because there's plenty of major news items to come that will generate lots of discussion... like the items in Ghal's list from yesterday.

I just realized that in Maryland, I can vote early so I don't have to interrupt my first day with Halo 4 with driving to and standing in line at a polling place.
wut? No, I was just wondering what other big news could be released apart from the ranking system? I literally can't think of anything else to be released.

As far as I know in Halo: Reach, no matter how immaculate one's friendly fire history, 3 or more betrayals in a single match by a specific player will always give the teammate most recently betrayed by said player the option to boot him or her.
I believe the game also tracks friendly fire (across matches), so that players that inflict more damage upon teammates are able to be booted sooner than after 3 betrayals. I also think that a betrayal that occurs early enough in the match will immediately give the betrayed teammate the option to boot.
Yeah I think that's the hard limit. The problem is below that threshold the Halo games seem to try and use context to avoid false positives, but usually it just seems to benefit the first mover and any retaliation will lead to the boot option.

My point is, a new trailer would be considered big news. A chapter of The Thursday War would be considered big news etc. A new map, etc.
Stop questioning these things. Just let it happen bro.

Why hello there everyone!
We are getting something soon, right?
We are getting something soon, right?
Nah.
That can't be true, I had a recent game on Hemo where a dude had 7 betrayals on my brother and I and we never got the option to boot him :/
Edit: This dude here:
Now this I can believe, my aim is pretty bad :lol

Didn't you post that
Dish dish wash wash/wish wish dash dash thing at the Facebook group?

*Yawn* Oh, morning. A new thread I see. So OT9 by launch?
Last OT took us only 22 days.
Even without all the events, this would should be done with by PAX.
Hopefully.
Otherwise its gonna be obnoxious updating it during PAX.
from the old thread but
That amateur Halo movie is very important, sir. Literally tens of people will watch and enjoy it, it's far more important than Halo 4 direct feed footage or explanations of changes in the game.

We have got 2 events, and many new juniors. Do not expect this thread will be at the same speed.

Theatre reveal still to come.
I hope that's a feature they've made a determined effort to improve. Things like
- Upload to Youtube
- Skip to highlights (say a killtac happens at 2.50 or a flagcap at 4.10, you'd be able to skip straight to it)
- Inbuilt montage maker
- The ability to watch movies with friends in the lobby
would really show a discernable leap in the five years since we were first greeted by this excellent feature.
The FoD was summed up to me when a 10 year old child(who some how fell into my XBL party) started expressing his thoughts loudly down the microphone about the trailer.
His excitement to see a master chief on screen, I thought he had a heart attack. Plus come on we all know it was going to rubbish.
It's not like Halo Legends was any good..
Halo 4 now ships with Adobe Premiere.

Thread title vindicated.
Also, I'm sure you two are smart enough to realize totally different teams are working on those marketing pieces/movie.

Announcements for halo 4 that would be important to me:
1)Skill based rank system
2)Group or clan like tracking systems. (a system that would track whatever team you made up and on your service record it would display the team's win/loss record, best other team you have beaten, maybe an individual skill based rank assigned to the team, lastly show team roles like for instance; A player with the most oddball time, flag caps would be crowned the team's objective player, (player with most kills the slayer), player with most assists the support player, and whatever else that could be thought of
3)See number 1
4)See number 3
5)Party restrictions across all ranked playlists, hopefully all playlists anyway
6)Color palettes in forge, (different forge environments do not count
7)Custom game options, hopefully things like individual weapon modifiers, individual weapon reload time options, individual weapon rate of fire options
1)Skill based rank system
visible plz, k thx

Must...not....ignore....gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
No idea, I would be down for whatever the majority of people want to do.
Nope. Cell phone video, shot in a shipping container, on a boat. Uploaded via satellite so you get frame drops and artifacts like crazy.
Can't blame us for being chatty - we don't know any better.

I'm still.. surprised by it being a Machinima thing. I mean Machinima as a YouTube brand is pretty damn big, but I expected TV or some more mass market channel (E! or something?)
I guess Machinima targets the a fairly general gaming mass who will push hopefully virally spread it.
Of course, but that money pool to afford resources for Reach's MM team seems .. smaller than we think it should be.
As I was kind of saying last night, the few years of 343 could make for a great book.
I'll give you everything but the bolded. You're asking for an entire program there running ontop of the game that's running on ancient hardware.
