How tall are Spartan IVs? It would be kind of silly if they're Chief tall because they're already fully grown adults.
Looking at the screen of Chief in front of them, I'd say around as tall as an average ODST
I miss the old Scorpions where the driver has the machine gun

[QUOTE=Frozen;37560009]I'm actually really looking forward to this game now. The music sounds incredible, and the campaign seems like it's going to be a very story-orientated one.[/QUOTE] Halo has always had incredible music and very story oriented.
This thread is better than any Halo forum I've been to these past few days of new videos. It's getting really fucking irritating that everyone bitches about ANYTHING of the smallest details. I am an MLG kind of guy but I'm not whining like a girl on her first period like these other people who call their selves MLG. They complain about the sounds, the flag, how fast a gun shoots, how fast people die, just anything there is they will find a way to complain.

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;37565598]That's because "MLG" people are a bunch of babies who need special gametypes to be better at the game.[/QUOTE] Not all of MLG players and wannabees are like that. Many MLG players are respectable, and can kick your ass without any sort of special gamemode or special treatment.

Although the worst part of MLG is probably it's community.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;37565598]That's because "MLG" people are a bunch of babies who need special gametypes to be better at the game.[/QUOTE]Not this guy. I like to play MLG for the competitive side, go to tournaments and what not but I also like to use every weapon in the game. My tradition for Halo is to play the whole campaign before I touch multiplayer. I recently started hearing that every pro in MLG uses adderall for Halo all the time. Made me laugh at how pathetic and desperate these "Pros" need to play good and how I just need to be sober and do a good job.
Never really liked the mlg gamemode myself,also anybody else want Mendez to be in a Halo game because I gotta say he was probly my favorite character from the books.
I don't like how they've made CTF easier, Carrier gets a pistol, enemy carrier shows up on your HUD, and your Flag doesn't have to be home to score, but you can't drop the flag, so that stops you from passing it.
I'd say I want Chips Dubois to be in Halo 4, but considering that: A. The only book he is mentioned in is The Flood (And he's renamed at that), with his fate left unmentioned B. If he did survive past that point he probably died on Installation 05 considering it's casualty count C. If he survived that somehow like the rest of the Marine_Generic_##'s, then he most definitely died on Installation 00 considering it's 98-99% casualties for the UNSC after the Flood showed up.
"Was the armor that was available in the PAX build the full set? If so, why is there no Mark V armor? -ArchedThunder The PAX build contains the full set of armor in Halo 4. In the final game, there are a variety of methods for unlocking armor and armor skins - ranking up, earning commendations, progressing through Specializations and completing goals on Waypoint. Some of the skins, helmets, and the FOTUS armor are exclusive to various retail offers. Some of these items MAY become available to all players at a later date. We wanted to focus on the Spartan-IV armors for Infinity, maximizing the amount of variety across the armor designs. However, we did want to include a reward for completing the Campaign on Legendary, so we decided to use the Mark VI armor as that reward. While we'd love to include every historical variant of the Chief's armor, it's just not possible to fit more armor sets into the available memory." No MK V for us then... Also PT 2 should be released next week: I do believe that freshly-coined term is the perfect note to end on. So, until next week, my friends, when you’ll be seeing a brand new vid…oops. I should probably stop talking now. Until then.

[quote][I]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[/I] Oh yes. In fact, our only remake map – still secret – is most definitely outdoors. [/quote] I wonder what it is. [quote][I]The Halo 4 multiplayer is in-universe. Therefore, Grifball is actually played by Spartans. Does that mean Grifball is now the official Sport of the Spartans? -Meta0X[/I] Sort of. That is to say, it’s not a-canonical, but it doesn’t serve any particular purpose in the universe. [B]That said, sharp-eyed fans may have already figured out a single item of context from outside the game universe…[/B][/quote] This intrigues me.
-snip- Damn it, I had such a good theory too :( The thought of spartans playing griff ball during their off time is awesome. [editline]6th September 2012[/editline] OK, I'm not the biggest fan of the Mk. 5, and I'm currently having an affair with the Mk. 6 over the ODST helmet, but seriously, those two are staples of halo, why were they not, like, the first ones to end up in halo 4?
Is Halo 2 worth playing? The copy I bought refuses to load past the second mission, and I can't find anything other than used copies for $30+ that I have no idea about quality wise (The first copy I bought was listed as good condition, and there's no real scratches on the disk, but it still refuses to work.) I'm thinking at this point just to skip it and play Halo 3 instead, then go back later if I can find a cheap working copy.

The mutiplayer was absolutely amazing too, so yeah I'd recommend getting it.

To be honest. Who needs ODSTs anymore when we can have Spartan 4s?
[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;37557231]The motion capture in Halo 4 is pretty sexy. [img]http://i.minus.com/dVHVpwk0q3mu8/fsd.gif[/img][/QUOTE] Holy shit, I seriously hope that isn't prerendered, it looks so smooth
[QUOTE=Doctor Dave;37572702]To be honest. Who needs ODSTs anymore when we can have Spartan 4s?[/QUOTE] Because ODST armor looks amazing and they land on planets from space in giant boxes of metal.
