I like how Exile is an outdoor kind of map. Are there other outdoor-like maps on the Halo 4 disc/future DLC? -F22 Raptor X1

Oh yes. In fact, our only remake map – still secret – is most definitely outdoors.

So not reading into that at all he means Blood Gulch/Coag/Hemo or some awful hydra of all three. What other outdoor remakes could they put out and not have people flip poo poo. I would enjoy a modern Valhalla. Avalanche or Sidewinder would be cool for a change of pace. Seeing as snow is a rare thing in Halo multiplayer.

So in the new vid-doc they show off a lot about the Knights. I never noticed they had little arms dangling from their chest before. And now I want to know more about these forerunners in these suits. Are they really dead or just kinda kept alive to control the suit. November needs to get here.

Remember its a sequel to Halo 3, as they keep so kindly saying in every PR thing. And they needed a replacement for the Brute Shot anyway, so I am reading no Brutes in 4. (RIP Spiker)

Grav Hams won't be in campaign I assume, unless elites go crazy or something. So it will be the first multiplayer only weapon?

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.

A gun is determined by how many tactical rails you can slap on dat sum' bitch. In that regard halos human guns are lacking.

I don't know the Box Trucks in Reach were pretty great also.

They haven't said poo poo about vehicles to this point, Is that mech the only new one? Because they didn't put out any renders of a unsc flying thing to replace the falcon/hornet. I wanted Falconry 2.0 in Halo 4 :(

If anything I hope it is a glass cannon. Have they said if snipers will hurt vehicles like in Reach, I mean people don't ever do that but it was nice to grab one and shoot a banshee out da sky.

Man, I haven't been paying attention to Halo 4 hype so I missed the whole breakdown on the Promethean weapons. I guess they were really trying to hammer home the whole "Covenant co-opted the tech as best they could," because the rifle and pistol dude was using in that Abandon walkthrough look like early versions of the carbine and the plasma pistol. The rifle looks like it performs the same, carries the same 72 reserve ammo, etc.

Someone who's watched other videos/etc, what's the light rifle do differently than say, a carbine or DMR?

Light rifle is three round burst unscoped, when scoped in its single shot like DMR/Carbine.

Flood Mode looks kind of cool.

I was listening to the latest sparkcast ay work and they brought up weapon ballence. In Reach a AR vs a DMR, the dmr guy would win most of the time. In 4 they balanced it so the AR will probably kill the guy if you get a jump on him. Frankie and those guys explained it much better than I can.

I think you will see a BR DMR Light Rifle split in high level play, but everything has a place and can be competitive against the rifles in the right situation.

I'm on my phone in a work van and swift key didn't catch the typo :(

I am just going on what the devs said, give it a listen its cool to hear their reasoning for the changes. The scorpion drives better now at least. Still nothing on another flying craft, rip falconry.

I think they said multiplayer would be a mandatory install, meaning a second disc. And with all the Spartan Ops stuff, map packs, screenshots, film clips, and whatever else the disc space requirement is going to get huge.

Going dark until november 6th would be a good idea I think. Since the game is in the wild and poo poo is starting to leak onto youtube according to that GAF thread.

The new vid doc is great. The new Spartans look so graceful. I like the way they want to encourage more team play. Dynamic shadows in forge look cool as well. Ragnarock looks amazing.

No mention of the Falcon in the new VidDoc, going to assume it's not in Multiplayer. RIP Falconry.

If its like Reach it was one code for the Legendary edition stuff. From the flaming head in game, Elite Officer, Avatar Prop Falcon, and a making of that you could only get to through waypoint. I'll have to look at the card since I hang on to all that poo poo because I am dumb. The only separate code was the Tier 3 Recon hat I think.

I hope the vehicles are a little more durable. It's annoying how much of a paper tiger the tanks are. Of course this opinion flips when on the other end of one.

At this point I don't care that the LE has been rendered a bad buy. I want the FUD extended thing. I am in deep for Halo at this point, (metal box 2, cat helmet 3, statue from reach) and can sort of justify it in my head at this point. I picked up the halo 4 controller and it is pretty pimp, glossy, transforming d-pad, blue led, and you can see the rumble motors spinning. I play the games for a long time, and spartan dress up is cool.

BabyMauler

I think they said because of the time that has passed certain armor has been phased out in UNSC service. It makes sense to not give your top spec solders at what at this point is three generation old hardware. (Mk V, Mk IV Grenadier) What I do want to know is if the Orbital hat is the new ODST gear or has Air Assault replaced it like the description in Reach states. (Recruit hat looks the best)

You can't imagine a few badass veterans using the old school helmet, maybe as a homage to the Spartan-IIs?

I don't even think Spartan IVs have any connection to the Spartan IIs outside of legends at this point. It is five years after the Covenant war. All Spartan IIs besides the Chief, and one or two others with Halsey are MIA (dead). I fully expect them to flip their collective poo poo when they meet Chief during the campaign, dude is like two feet taller than them and has not had a shower since Halo 2.

Just started watching FuD, some nice little touches with some Reach Spartan concept art on the walls around the academy. Are the kids UNSC Army or Marines?

I think they're Marines. It's never explicitly stated, but they do cryo training, which the Army wouldn't have any need to do, and according to Halo Nation, General Black and the Colonel are both Marines.

At the end of the third one Dima calls the guy Marine, guess that it explains it. Show gets loving amazing, I got a little chief chubbie right now.
