[QUOTE=Tuskin;37129310]We should do some co-op games[/QUOTE]
I'm up for that!
I cam across and interesting tidbit while reading a series on the ODST levels
[quote]There’s a lone Hunter on the other side of the closest gate. You can see the dead remains of his companion in the center of the roundabout.
Hunters or Mgalekgolo are always deployed in sets of two, and each “being” has a close relationship with the other—in fact, they were once a single colony of Lekgolo worms that grew so large it split in two.
This Hunter isn’t battle ready. It’s standing upright, perhaps mourning its comrade.[/quote]
I always found the Hunters to be tragic characters. Reading about how they'd stop in combat to recite war poetry, and how their society works, is all very saddening, really. They're like the Martells from Game of Thrones. They were never conquered by the Covenant, but still, they joined because they didn't want to risk death.
Even better, their society is implied to be way ahead of the other races of the Covenant. They don't even believe in the religion. They're literally just conscripted heavy soldiers (and, based on their appearances as Scarabs and in First Strike) and slave labor. I really hope we get to see more of them in the series, I've a feeling that out of all the Covenant species, they'd be able to thrive post-schism. Likely because their species has no interest in going out and embarking on conquest.

I always love hidden details like this. Another Halo example is on "Cortana" in Halo 3. There's a tunnel somewhere in the level that has a dead ODST at the end with a Flamethrower near his body, implying he had a last stand against a load of Flood. Another ODST body can be found near the crashed Pelican, so I guess they just flew to High Charity by themselves to kick some zombie ass.
ODSTs are headstrong, but they aren't stupid.

Although I agree now, In-game and playing on Legendary, I feel no remorse when I kill a hunter. Motherfuckers are impossible to kill, not to mention the fact that the only other Lekgolo lifeforms in the game are the many scarabs, and the one super scarab, the two HARDEST things to kill, ever.

As Irespawnoften said, ODST aren't stupid.
It's more likey to be either a classified sabotage run gone wrong or a un-sanctioned payback.
[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;37137478]..... a classified sabotage run gone wrong or a [B]un-sanctioned payback.[/B][/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure that counts as going there for the purpose of kicking ass.

Yes, but you get my point, don't you?
I think you people took my comment too seriously. :v:

I got told that this thread had the densest concentration of little princesses in entire facepunch.
Getting their panties in a twist about ratings is common here I think

Holy shit, there is nothing in there I don't love. The SAW is...well, different. And beautiful.

[QUOTE=Bokito;37144928]Yeah it's removed. What's the SAW?[/QUOTE]
I'd describe it as an LMG.
Whoa where'd that SAW come from? Is it like an LMG or something? From the looks of it it's an automatic weapon that's stronger than the AR at the moment.
Delta, I know you can't say much, but from the weapons trailer, it looks like the shotgun was being fired while scoped in. Is the binocular function now active as a sight of sorts for all weapons?
I love the railgun sound.
That SAW gun reminds me of a Tommy Gun. This instantly makes it the best weapon in the series.

It looked like a Visor zoom, maybe you can shoot when visor zoomed now?
From that trailer, shotgun looks to powerful to spawn with.
If they did a LMG I'd hope for it to look like the one in this:

I'd like it since it looks like it's made by the same company that made the Assault rifle.
Also I can't wait to be a power ranger in Halo 4.
the one in that video looks like an updated version of that reach concept art
someone in the videos and flash movies section was arguing with me about how John was the last surviving Spartan, and when I list off the known survivors of the Spartan-II and III project he's like "they were all mia until reach"
why do people have to argue about shit they don't know about
[QUOTE=KingNick220;37145757]From that trailer, shotgun looks to powerful to spawn with.[/QUOTE]
As said, you can only spawn with the Shotgun in select gametypes.
Man, pinkpanther really doesn't know what he's talking about. He's trying to say Halo wars,as well as ODST, (becuase they turned the ODST's into a "super bad ass A-Team type soilder") and Reach all break canon of the Halo universe. None of which is true in the slightest.
So I don't come in here often but it seems like you're the Go-To-Guy for Halo here, Delta? Apparently you're in the 4 Testing team so that's pretty cool.
I've really gotta get back into the extended universe, Halo has to be one of my favorite universes, there's just so much shit to it that you learn every day.

I'm of several go to guys here for all thing Halo. But yes, I do have the most knowledge of Halo 4, when I can talk about it that is.
