Dumb question but if the core PvE mode is a loot game ala Borderlands or Diablo wouldn't bringing your character and associated weapons and skills totally destroy any semblance of balancing in PvP?
didn't defiance do this to as well

Voice chat only for your Fireteam so "jerks" don't ruin your experience.
Not sure about the catching players off guard shit.
What the fuck is this shit? They're just abandoning BTB?
I'm trying to take this as a positive.
Come on Bungie, you know split-screen matters, don't you?
Wait, both of you are seriously implying Halo is part of the "old style" of shooters ? Cmon. It s the game that started the plague and death of the genre.It's not Bungie. It's us. We don't like the old style of shooters any more. We want customisation, perks, kill streaks, abilities, and all this other superfluous shit. It's quite sad, really. People can't play shooters anymore unless every kill gives you a +10, or a new weapon, or a new item, and I think that's sad. Look at how many people play shooters competitively...
They haven't said yet.

I dunno. He might have just meant that different platforms offer up different communication options. Hard to tell.He said that you can have it set so you only talk to people that are playing on a certain platform. So it sounds like you will be playing with people cross-platform. Am I reading into that correctly? Has that been announced?
hmm, I'm not really interested in this game because i don't like FPS, but i watched that video anyway, and there were a few small segments where you actually are in third person.
So is this something that just happens if you do specific things or will it actually be possible to play in third person?
I mean it would definitely make sense to have a third person view, especially with things like armor customization etc, which i think would otherwise be pretty pointless in an FPS, but i never heard anything about that till now.
- Don't want to talk about splitscreen yet
powers put you into third person.
but it is a first person game

Halo 1 and 2 were both classic shooters, with the classic "Arena" style multiplayer...I'd argue that CoD 4 probably started the plague.
im still unsure about how this game will work
will I be able to see like all hundreds of players roaming around in my game world like it was an mmo? or will I only be able to see them if they are part of my fireteam?

Caught me by surprise too but bigger isn't necessarily better.6v6 limit? What? I assumed there would be much bigger games than Halo... not less...
Halo fans coming into this expecting anything Halo-like from the multiplayer are going to be massively disappointed I think. Best to keep expectations in check and realize this is gonna be a whole new ballgame for better or worse.
Split screen = day one
I think the voice chat thing is dumb. Why not give the option to mute all players outside of your fireteam instead of imposing that restriction on everyone?
Dem feels. I just ached a bit for vanilla.Can't wait to get into a little slayer near asteroid TARREN MILL.
Movement speed was much slower, and kill times much longer than "classic" multiplayer fps games. While I don't agree it started the death of the genre, it wasn't exactly a classic multiplayer fps.
Feature or limitation?

The footage looks just like Halo.
Except for the ADS.
Honestly, this looks like an unbalanced mess that rewards players who play all the time instead of any even playing field.
I like the sound of double jump. Really curious as to how they'll balance Quest items in competitive MP.

- "Definitely feels faster than Halo"
- You can take out an unaware player really quickly (even with normal weapons)
- As of now, health and armor, armor bleeds down, then to health (depends on class, Titans slightly harder to kill)
And that's without the super moves and heavy weapons.Shorter kill times SMFH. Hype deflating..
I wonder if that goes both ways in that they'll want to shepherd single player and co-op players towards competitive.And the line that "we will have incentives so you won't just be playing competitive multiplayer all of the time." No, no no no. This is not what we want to hear, Lars!
The problems with a lot of games is *other people*.I love how so many people are judging this game for being an online experience. What? I actually have to play in the same world as my fellow gamers? B-but they all suck! I don't want to talk to them!
