Oh hey, I found it. They really changed up the Jackals. Tiny dinosaur looking dudes now. War Games looks tits. Spartan Ops looks great as well. Here is a link to that thread. Hope it works. http://goo.gl/BCXCW Dominion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aoJMAMR038

Honestly the only thing that really bugged me was having the weapon pick ups be on the screen, just kinds seems lame, and e text pop ups when you do anything. They are just unneeded. I would much rather they just use the extensive library of Halo icons for on screen pop ups like they always have. Especially if its just going to be some white text sans serif lazy typography.

Dominion mode looks like a lot of fun. I don't know that it'll replace regular old Team Slayer for me, but I can see myself playing that a lot. The Armory walkthrough's pretty neat, too. That's a lot of helmets to choose from, considering how much room was left on the scrollbar when they stopped showing them. I think either Recruit or Warrior was my favorite of what they showed. Also, it sounds like killcams are only going to be on Dominion mode: "Dominion gameplay -New Objective mode with dynamic territories and kill cams." Not that I think it would be a big deal if it was across all game modes, but this line makes it sound like it's just Dominion.

I always thought Kill Cams were awesome and I hate that in Battlefield 3 (the multiplayer game I've played the most over the past year or so) doesn't have them. I think they'll be a welcome addition to Halo and I can't wait to play Halo 4's multiplayer to see them in action in this context vv

It's not that there is anything particularly wrong with Killcams, but it's a feature that has never been included in Halo before, and it seems like 343 is trying very hard to appeal to Activision's massive fps madden fanbase to come over and buy their game. Unsurprisingly, people don't like change, although to be fair, the camera will rotate to the location of your kill anyway in previous Halo titles, so it's not like it fundamentally changes anything; I really don't see the issue here.

Those weapon skins look really awful, and the sniper scope is still dumb. Yes I am a big Halo baby.

Does anyone with the Noble DLC for Reach want to try and help me get the You Blew It Up! achievement? You need to play a matchmade invasion game on Breakpoint, which is almost impossible now that there's no DLC playlist. You have to play the invasion playlist, which doesn't require DLC, and anyway the only thing anyone wants to play there is Spire. Ugh.

TF2 killcam stills make the best screenshots in the world and nicely justify their existence. But I still don't want them or anything like it in my Halo.

xzzy posted:TF2 killcam stills make the best screenshots in the world and nicely justify their existence. There's a difference between TF2 kill cams and the COD style kill cam that Halo is using. The TF2 kill cam simply whos you who killed you, so you can see what gun they have and look at all their hats, and also see where they were when they killed you. The COD kill cam is a 5 second replay from your killers perspective. I think they should have the kill cam be in non-ranked games, so you can still get the learning ability of seeing your mistakes and the strategies of others from thier perspectives, but then when the matches count, those kill cams wouldn't show people where you were hiding. Maybe they feel this type of kill cam will prevent camping, since the player you killed knows exactly where you were, and is most likely running back towards you for revenge.

The COD kill cam is a 5 second replay from your killers perspective. Kill Cams solve a gameplay problem ("How did I die?!") in the most ham-fisted way possible. If you have to resort to kill cams, your combat loop is completely broken. Halo's combat loop hasn't been broken in the past, and unless they turned every gun into one shot kills, it still isn't broken now, so there's literally no reason to have a kill cam at all, short of copying Call of Duty.

Why do we need killcams when all of your matches are automatically saved as replays that you can watch later?

V for Vegans posted:Maybe they feel this type of kill cam will prevent camping, since the player you killed knows exactly where you were, and is most likely running back towards you for revenge. This right here is the reason why kill cams exist, and why they have no place in halo. Halo isn't a "campy" game like CoD is, sure you might hang out in one decent sniper area for a few shots/a minute or two, but you can't stay there forever. If nothing else you'll run out of ammo and have to go get more. However in CoD, if it weren't for the kill cams you could basically spend a whole match in the same spot if your opponents were dumb enough. I remember in halo ...3 I think? the "kill cam" in that game is that the camera would look in the direction of the person who killed you. You got a general idea of where your killer was shooting from, which was plenty, and it's something your spartan would actually know, instead of a random POV change. Kill cams in Halo 4 reek of a "CoD does it so we'll do it!" mentality from 343, which worries me because CoD play's totally differently. Also because kill cams serve to answer that classic scrub complaint of how camping is "cheap" or "unfair", and instead of trying to teach, or developing a tutorial on how to punish camping, developers just roll over and give the vocal minority whatever they want.

Yeah, that's what I'm getting out of this. Halo doesn't have things like suppressed weapons or tomahawks or somebody hucking a perfectly cooked grenade at your feet and instakilling you. Anything strong enough to kill you instantly is also flashy enough to make it clear what happened and if it doesn't kill you instantly, you'll take long enough to die that you should be able to figure it out. It's addressing a problem that Halo never really had. And then they go and only implement it in one mode? I can't make sense of the thought process.

That mode is very interesting with all the weird changes it has, like how a team that's about to lose gets over shields, and when they go into a point, they can't leave it until they cap it. I feel like the main strategy will be to let the other team capture all three bases, and then use the over shields to have people cap two of the points, and then just lock down the other team on the last point till the match ends.

Won't people trying to get a good KDR *cough*iscariote*cough* just let the other team capture the 3 points so that they will have overshield and then kill the other team without trying to play for the objective?

# ? Sep 23, 2012 19:53 |

I think overshield mode is also sudden death for the shield-havers. I'm looking forward to game-winning kill cams at least. Those were always a joy to claim in CoD.

Hdip posted:Won't people trying to get a good KDR *cough*iscariote*cough* just let the other team capture the 3 points so that they will have overshield and then kill the other team without trying to play for the objective? Because once a team goes into last stand mode they're marked on the enemy teams HUD, they can't respawn until they take a base, if they initiate capture of a base they get locked in until it's captured and if a certain amount of time passes they lose the game. It's like reverse sudden death mode.
