My K/D is going to be so high the first week of Halo 4
Interesting.
I've always believed it was
-Power Weapon (Shotgun? Sword, Sniper, Rockets, Laser, etc.)
-Sub-Power Weapon (Needler, GL, Sticky Det, etc.)
-Starter weapons (AR, BR, Pistols)
So in Halo 4 it seems like
-Power Weapon
-Ordnance Weapon (theres some overlap here)
-Loadout weapon
In my mind, i've always classified a power weapon as anything capable of a 1sk.
e.g. Mauler in MLG setting of Halo3 is capable of a 1sk, so i consider it a power weapon. I don't think there is any "official" definition though.
Rocket/In Can are not available through personal ordnance are they?
Edit: Beaten by someone who actually knows what he's talking about.

Monday - Latest press embargo lifts, possibly giving us Mantis and Ragnarok details.
Tuesday - Thursday War is released.
Wednesday - Bulletin
Should be a good week for Halo geeks. NYCC is only 11 days away!
-------
For some reason I feel like Thursday War has been promoted less than previous books. I guess it's due to the onslaught of Halo 4 news, the FUD series, and the fact that HaloFest last year gave 343 more convention panel time than usual. That, or I'm just jumping the gun and we'll see more book promotion this week.

I'd say a power weapon is anything that can kill within a certain time frame. This would allow the Saw to fit in with the other power weapons.
I know this guy in real life. The funny thing is that he isn't that good at Halo. he literally stayed at eurogamer for 4days straight doing nothing but Halo 4.
By that time you get used to the TV's and probably play as good as you would at home.
Interesting point was brought up about the Boltshot. I wanna try it out on the 13th. It looks like a halo 2 pistol with the capability of being turned into a mauler.
But you can spawn with it

I would agree with everything you said. Normally we'd get something like an excerpt in the Bulletin/Weekly Update, and a prominent role for the author in panels and such at other public events. Silentium's not getting too much attention either.
Got an email from Amazon telling me my hardcover copy shipped.

I need this game inside me. Not sure i can last another 37 days guys....
That gameplay makes the MLG pro gameplay look like babby's first Halo!

You bite your tongue!
I remember watching all that MLG footage and wondering to myself "why aren't these guys running up those ramps from the bottom or just moving around that map better?" Same goes for all the other Haven footage I've seen. The guy in that vid moves around the map (and his actions in general) similar to my playstyle and he's clearly using Dexterity.. couple that in with the faster overall feel to the game and you got yourself one happy Halo fan
This game..! CAN'T WAIT!

Halo 4 is looking like it is bringing back Halo 1 levels of fun factor for campaign and Halo 2 levels of fun factor for multiplayer based off Halo 3 and Reach ideas. You definitely know this is a 343i game.

not I. lol It will only make the wait hurt that much more.
I'll play lol to pass the time.
If anything, it's keeping me away from Reach.

Awesome write-up, bobs.
For now, I'll occasionally be on a Halo game.
For the next couple weeks I'll be busy with Borderlands 2. I might go against my better judgement and get RE6, but I doubt it. Then a month from now, I'll be playing ACIII.
And then on November 6th, I go into a Halo coma for the next year.

Based on what bobs had said, it seemed to be purely a preference thing. He said he couldn't get a feel for the LR. The variety seemed to have served a good purpose in that regard. Players could just totally play more comfortably with the BR's gameplay moreso than they could with an LR, despite how much better the LR can be on paper.

Damn that gameplay looked great. The SAW looks like an incredibly fun piece of Ordnance to use. We are sooooo close!!!
And 3. Played some multi-team on Last Resort yesterday on my own host and brought back how frustrating the BR can be to use. Despite the fact i want 28-2, lol.
My friend had one of those and would try to catch people (and me) off guard and record their voice when they did something stupid.Lol, I ran into someone on Halo 3 BTB with one of these:
Filled with Arnold and Duke 'Nukem qoutes,
that was fun... For about 2 minutes...
"PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN!"
scope delay? aim mechanics (including aim-assist levels)? Plenty of things to consider over raw damage output per second...
UNSC pride.

This camera angle is making feel sick.
Only anniversary playlist, need Reach for the rest of MM.
You can use the Anni. disc.
You don't think it would be like some sort of damage control do you?
Do you need the codes? Or are they just for playing with a Reach disc? (Basically if you have Annie and a friend has Reach, you could play together).

Uh... what? Damage control how?
