I'm always thinking of ball mechanics.
This is ReasonablyPacedGAF, imo
the BR kill time and ease of use at close to mid range is better than the DMR at those ranges.

Raider and Ranger both look like puppydog faces with their tongues out. Defender looks like an overly happy anime face. Almost all the other ones I like actually. Those are mainly the ones I see me NEVER using, lol

The PA Report - Halo evolved: How 343 Industries took the flag and ran with it to create Halo 4
And GameInformer's new issue has a feature about Halo 4's Prometheans:

You could throw the ball up the elevator, and someone could catch it in the lift room upstairs because no-one will be there.
Also the creator of "Temple" sent me an XBL message last night because he heard I hated it. I had to explain that was more to do with SWAT than the map.
That map is poop. The only reason it got put into matchmaking is because it looks nice.

It heals you quickly, but standing in it and fighting doesn't prevent you from taking damage. You also can't poop it out in the middle of a firefight because there is a significantly lengthy animation to deploy it.
I was very worried about that AA, but the worries were for naught. The AA's are really balanced well, they augment your combat set instead of dominating like Reach. Camo is still camo as an AA though, which I feel is just a poor design decision regardless of how much they've nerfed it.
HOLY SHIT
that's all i see with your spoiler tags.
You crazy, DMR and Storm Rifle on Adrift ends worlds!
Also, thanks to Heckscrub, I played some Reach last night. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but eventually we played Doubles. Holy shit the jetpack in Reach is awful, that's all doubles is. Who honestly approved the amount of aim acceleration on the vertical axis in that game? Jetpacker flys above you and it's over because the game doesn't let you aim up in a reasonable about of time.
Why didn't Fyrewulff just contact you here?

Speaking of maps, I liked the one you submitted to FH for their Flag contest. You do good work. #SLRP
You might be right, but I did really poorly on that map overall. I feel confident in blaming the drink coupons that Frankie and bsangel kept giving me.

I have to ask, is there an "Interception" medal?
Oh nice.. I wonder if it will have anything new in it. GIs usually start hitting people the day the cover is revealed, so we may have a chance to find out later today, or maybe this week.

Andrew Reiner said "XCOM and Halo 4 are also blown out in this issue." via twitter. Not sure what to expect. But on the other hand I don't care. I don't want any information about Campaign or SpOps...

The Raider helmet is giving me Darth Vader vibes. And lol, I just noticed the headphones mounted on the Orbital helmet. Provided Recruit's bonus is just a skin and not the armor itself I might end up using Orbital.

It's been more than a year since forge maps were consistently added to all the playlists, and I still don't now which ones are which.
I hear it all the time in my lobby, which one is Rasu, Delta facility etc.
At least Cragmire is instantly recognisable.

Some incorrect information posted on the impressions on the Little English Halo Blog. The only thing that affects team score in Infinity Slayer is 10 points per kill, just like every past Halo game. There is a separation of individual and team score in every gametype that I've seen so far in Halo 4 (yes just like COD if that makes it easier to understand).
The difference in Infinity Slayer is that your individual score adds up to fill your personal ordnance meter.

Hmm, will we get more new weapons? Vehicles?

So she pretty much confirms MC will take off his helmet in Halo 6, "thinking" about the ending/Halo 5/6, "thinking" about underneath the helmet, taking off helmet in Halo 6 confirmed.

I have a feeling the new vehicle will be UNSC. It might be the Mammoth, if that counts.

Sounds like it should be the SP level the press got to play a little while ago.
Im starting to wonder if the armor with the skin gets unlocked early when you buy the LE game or console, but later on you can unlock non prime recruit armor or regular FOTUS. Was there a regular FOTUS without a skin in the build?
I don't think we will get any Promethean vehicles sadly. =(
I like most of the layout but aesthetically is doesn't look the way I want it to. About halfway through I ran out of objects in certain categories which forced me to use ones from different categories which then resulted in a very inconsistent look overall. It's probably bigger issues I have with Forge, it really hinders Forgers in creating a map that doesn't look like an inconsistent mess. And the worst part is that I don't know why the limit is even in place because the individual objects in each category already have their own budget linked to them. I really hope they get rid of the limit in Halo 4 Forge.
Either way I'm going to rebuild it in Halo 4 and aside from making it look better I'll most likely make some changes to the layout too.
The way he described it actually sounds a lot more interesting.

Promethean Banshee.
It's all over.
It's all over.
... if only it were true
Seriously, it's a great chance to bring it back. It's a fun vehicle that everyone enjoyed and now there are tons of ways to counter it, which I assume was the problem with it for reach.

i hope so, we haven't really seen any new vehicles yet. i don't really consider the upgraded elephant to be "new," and if I had to guess the mech will be campaign only.

Promethean Banshee that can also transform into a devastating ground vehicle.
I just want a transforming vehicle.
Little white lie there, eh?
So this Kill Screen reporter says Microsoft told him he was too tall to take a photo with Master Chief.

Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn "Flag" preview
Im looking forward to this series, but man oh man does that color correction look bad. Im not even saying the absence of colors look bad, its just the way its handled looks cheap. I hope its a temporary filter while they work on the final color levels.
I wonder if the flag get glued to their hands and sucked in by magnets.

Wow... microsoft are dicks...
Must be some strong glue if a Super Soldier can't get it off.
Lol. Those would have been show staff/security, not MS PR people, btw.
No that's literally true. I have nothing against the level, I just hate it for SWAT because there are like, two lines of sight in the whole map - the Tunnel and the pit.Haven't played it in anything else but the SWAT thing is specific.

I think Neil brings a very character-centric approach. He sort of talks about it as method composing, where he gets inside the mind of whichever character is in a particular moment or scene, and tries to think from the inside out of what is that character feeling and how can he express that through the music.
Excellent. I haven't been too fond of what little I've heard so far, and was hoping that more context was needed to convey the feeling. Seems to be an overall sentiment to the game as a whole, which is a good thing.
I've got a few maps that I've been farting around with in Reach that will definitely be re-worked in Halo 4. I don't really understand why there's an individual object limit AND an overall limit as well, and I hope it's one of the many changes that H4 will bring to the forge table. After the RTX video I'm keeping my expectations extremely low.
I'll tweet this info back to them. They seem a decent lot and have responded to twitter criticism before, so maybe they'll fix it.
Yep. What're you going to do. Been lamenting this for years, it's just continuing the trend that Bungie started of putting aesthetics over gameplay with their map design. It's map design to impress the reviewers, not to reward players who are still playing Halo 4 every day 2 years from now.

Good stuff on the Sticky Detonator. Did you notice any changes from watching the E3 build? Does it still blink and make noises that make it so obvious to see? Can you shoot a planted Sticky and cause it to blow up?

I disagree here. I understand the points of aesthetics getting in the way of gameplay, but I think you can have both, not one or the other. I'll reserve judgement on Adrift for when I can play it, but most of the issues I've had with past Halo maps (including Reach) are more from a layout perspective. I have had very little issues with them looking too pretty.
From what I played of Halo 4 the new CTF map looked great, and the looks never got in the way of gameplay. Maybe indoor maps are worse, but I never had that issue in Reach either. More issue with map layout and weapon placement.
Nah, the other. I have the same problems in SWAT especially when the other team is down a few players. The map looks great but it's way too cluttered.
We're not mad. I think the story is fine. That's what happened to him. It has never happened to me though, they seem pretty keen to have ME standing next to the Chief...
