I don't remember all the specific details, if any, but I'm fairly certain they'll be handled differently than in Reach.
I think.
Armour abilities in Reach were just Halo 3 pickups with new features. Bubble Shield was a combination of the Bubble Shield and Re-generator...
Erm.. That is the only example I can remember.
So teh reason for Reds and Blues fighting is it's a simulation? Aww, I was hoping Red vs Blue was finally canon.

Rooster Teeth PAX Panel if you're interested.
There is a HD version on youtube but the audio is WAY out of sync.
Drop-in drop-out joining? Thank god. I fucking hate it when most of my team leaves mid-game.
woah woah... the credits for the RvB Season 10 trailer said Elijah Wood as Sigma?
Elijah Wood as in Frodo from the LOTR movies? and other things I can't name off the top of my head.
Why was caboose purple in that trailer?
[QUOTE=Arachnidus;35483445]On an unrelated note, does anybody else think it annoying that one of the "theories" behind the Legendary Planet was that it was the Domain? I swear, it's like people don't even read the books. The Domain is essentially the Forerunner extra(inter)net, not a physical location.[/QUOTE]
People are stupid.
I remember when people where going "Hurr its obviously reach"

Invisibility was Radar Jammer and Invisibility.
Just finished reading the shortstory MIDNIGHT IN THE HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN, by Frank O' Connor. And holy shit it's fucking hilarious, shame that it didn't continue further :v:
I could sum up the whole mood of the story with one line; "I‘m kidding. There‘s no need for any countdown whatsoever."

Also while I was temporarily blind and didn't see this on frontpage, I googled and found [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=14133245&postRepeater1-p=1#14133733]this old classic[/url]
You guys wanna organize a playdate? Either Halo 3 or Halo: CEPC is fine with me. I'd be up for Reach too, though.
Back to the armor since I was places.
They seem to be using a mixture of nano-fibre suits and heavy armor, so the same kind of defense with shields etc, but as arch said, punching etc wouldn't be the same, but due to their training, they would've built up huge amounts of strength during that time.

II and IVs are evenly matched, IVs however are more efficient and more ethical.
IV master race.
II master race, fuck your newfangled IVs designed to sell more action figures

Project ORION master race, being black with cigars is obviously the only way to go.

We dont know enough about them for you to prove that.
I had doubts at first, but, then I remembered 343 Industries was with Bungie in mostly all the Halo games so they definitely know what they are doing. The changes to the game mechanics look promising and will be a nice fresh breather from Reach and 1-3 stuff.
Also I like the new look and feel to Halo 4. Spartan IV's give me a MGS vibe, not sure if it's like that for anyone else (which I don't mind).
On my grind to Pestilence in Reach, I'm 300,000 credits away. I'm probably going to stop playing after I get it anyway...
So those magazine scans were real.

Uncensored scans.

So, what were the censored things? Most of us don't have the time to cross compare the two
I'm pretty excited for the new changes. Games need change so they don't stagnate. By the looks of it, they are keeping most of what makes Halo Halo but adding new things that shake things up.
Also, is it just me, or does the Chief look REALLY thin. Not QQing or anything, just commenting.

Oh, and the way they describe Spartan Ops actually sounds pretty cool. Spec Ops in CoD always bothered me because it was just "Do this section of the campaign...BUT WITH FRIENDS!" Spartan Ops sounds like multiplayer episodic gaming.

Story spoilers were censored in the first leaks, plus they didn't even have half the pages scanned. What I linked to has all 14 pages scanned.
Question, if there's any branch of the UNSCDF you could be in, what would it be?
For me, it'd either be ONI as a prowler crew-member or the ODSTs because subterfuge and stealth/dropping from low orbit in a drop-pod.

Captain of a Destroyer.
I think the new features are to compete with CoD, not to emulate it.
Weapons in the overal sandbox include Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle, DMR, Assault Carbine, Covenant Carbine, Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, Sniper Rifle, Magnum and Plasma Pistol.
Assault carbine? There's already three different human weapons with different firemodes what the hell is so different bout that? And I wanna see it

I want to see the SMG return, and co-exist with the AR/AC, SMG was far better for CQB whereas the AR was better for more ranged shots, reach's AR and 2/3's SMG would be delightful

Me too but.......an assault carbine? I wanna know how its different from the rest unless it replaces the smg

Oh, please let it be an MA5k. Always wanted to see one since they mentioned it in the books.

That would be pretty cool
Also I wanna see a set of SPI armor from ghosts of onyx on halo 4 even though multiplayer has Spartan 4's and not the 3's

At first I thought Spartans, but then you realize just how utterly nightmarish the Spartan program as a whole is. I can say SIVs, but we don't know exactly what their program entails. The washout rate could be...severe.
I don't have the stomach for the ODSTs, because of the sheer fact that according to the books, ODSTs more often than not wind up dying in their pods before they even hit the ground, and there is no way I'm jumping from orbit only to wind up dead.
Marine mortality rate is equally disturbing. The UNSC really isn't very fun, when you think about it.
If I really had to choose, I'd go with being an SIV simply because they're Spartans and they're volunteer.
If I didn't crap my guts out, and didn't die before or after impact I would be odst
