[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;38038167]I doubt it. In the dozens of Multiplayer matches seen, no Falcons or Hornets were in, not even on the leaker's stream.[/QUOTE]
My mistake then. I saw them in the campaign screens posted waaaaaay back so I thought they'd be in multiplayer.

Would have been funny if he was joking.
Don't know if this is legit, but apparently you can't disable Sprint in Custom Games.
how the fuck is the matchmaking system in halo reach SO BAD? i've had literally 5 games in a row of team slayer where i've gone 20+ kills and less than 8 deaths, meanwhile my team is all -10 spread and half the time they leave within a minute of the game starting.

There is no true skill system.

it's frustrating as hell when i get like 70% of my teams kills in a majority of the matches i play, i really hope there's a better matchmaking system in halo 4 instead of just randomly throwing people together without a worry about balance or anything
So while looking for VODs from a Halo 4 competitive match, I happened across some lengthy videos from the campaign. I know for damn sure I don't want to spoil the story but I opened the videos and watched for about 10 seconds on each of the videos I found. Thankfully it was all out of context and had extremely minimal dialogue (i heard chief say like 3 words)..
Needless to say, the game is fucking gorgeous right from the hud to the surroundings. Of course I should know this but I always expect campaign to be much prettier because they have so much more freedom to work with, where as when you're planning for up to 16 (is it more now??) players in a multiplayer environment, you want to simplify your art as much as you can, and cut corners when you can.
I'm so stoked for Halo 4. I've never not been excited for a Halo game.. but this one.. it's fucking HALO [b]4[/b]. I never thought it would actually happen and I told my self if it did I'd probably be bummed that they would probably run it into the ground. Naw. Fuckin' Halo 4! :D

I don't really have anything to back this up other than some others saying it, and I don't know for myself since I don't want to spoil myself any more than I have, but I've heard from some that we should brace for the Mass Effect 3 controversy all over again.
I pray those guys were wrong and/or just trying to troll us.

Well, many people hated Halo 2's ending as well, and I didn't mind it. The general complaint was that it was a cliffhanger, and I sense that Halo 4 will end on a cliffhanger as well. It's the first game in the trilogy, what do people expect? Unless it's disappointing for another reason, that is.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;38038047]It's a PR video.
[/QUOTE]
Uhh, no shit? Primarily it's a video documentary showing off the Multiplayer component of Halo 4, which is the final and accurate representation of the the product we are investing in.
i hope forge lets you put in vehicles you normally couldn't drive in singleplayer in multiplayer as drivable
always wanted to pilot a pelican and those covenant convey things from halo 2 even though they have like no use, i just wanted the option
halo custom edition let me do whatever i wanted though
played as elites before they let me play as elites, piloted longswords and pelicans
The GEN2 armour still looks like sportswear to me.

The Forge vehicle menu has already been shown, only vehicles you can spawn are MP vehicles. If you want SP Vehicles you'd needed a modded x-box to mod the game.

lame
people wanted to pilot pelicans since halo 1 :(
[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;38042260]so lame[/QUOTE]
Forge is meant for MP, they would never do what you suggest.
You can kinda fly a Pelican in Reach.
You would have to redesign the entire MP around those larger vehicles. As it is now you get in it, fly for ten seconds and then you are on the other side of the map.
I don't want this turning into Battlefield.
Close maps and a focus on ground action, that is what Halo is about.
I never understood the Reach hate.
I've been playing since Halo 1, I loved Reach.

I thought the story was rushed, the Campaign was bland(no massive encounters like in Halo 3), and Armor Abilites were implemented horribly. Also, I find the graphics in general very ugly, it just looks washed out and grainy.
I have had more fun in 3 then Reach regrading MP, but I didn't like how they matched you by skill/rank, I like playing with everyone regardless.

If someone's actually saying that, they don't get what made the ME3 ending so bad in the first place. Halo is nothing like ME in the terms of story telling, nothing to do with player choices and such. Tell them they are an idiot.
I have yet to see the ending in proper context, but I can already say it's not going to nearly as bad. ME3's ending was a fucking mess, nothing will compare to it.

Some guy punched a hole in the wall since he hated how he couldn't spray and pray with Reach's DMR.. I don't really know what to say other than it's pretty sad, but that also seems like a huge source of hate from the "competitive" players.
e: I feel physical pain when reading some of the posts in neogaf. When they stop whining about how important visible skill rank is, they take the entitled to everything attitude and start whining how halo 4 has no dedicated servers, no terrain editing in forge and more unreasonable shit.
sorry double post, didnt merge
So it turns out someone in my school class plays halo. Let's call him A
I 1v1 his friend. Let's call him B
He's apparently MLG
we play MLG Sanctuary and MLG Sanct Gametype.
I tell him that how does he expect me to play properly if I've never played an MLG game ever
He tells me, okay we'll change to a default map
MLG COUNTDOWN AND MLG COUNTDOWN GAMETYPE
How does he seriously expect me to stand a chance if he's using gametypes and maps I've never played?
Also, the gametypes are trying to emulate Halo 3, like what is the point?
I'm not even sure if it had bleedthrough.
I also told him I'm not going to believe he's an MLG player unless he links me/gives me names of what competitions and teams he's in
He didn't say a word after that
also friend A said that he was in a competition with friend B yesterday
jesus
I really doubt these guys are actually in competitions.
also they're 13-15
(I'm 14)

You have to be atleast 18 to compete in any MLG function.

Kids tend to be like that. Just punch him in the face and that's that.
[editline]15th October 2012[/editline]
MLG kids are some of the worst though
I don't know friend B IRL
Friend A I do (and I beat him in regular Reach slayer (even on his own map he made))
Apparently I'm a noob for using a needler
I'm sorry for not restricting my arsenal to precision weapons and giving myself a disadvantage by not grabbing more powerful weapons...
They'll multiply when Halo 4 is out.
All Halo4-Cod jokes aside, that has been stated to be 343's target demographic for halo 4's multiplayer.

We'll probably lose some of the "mature" 17-year old mlg kiddies because of the obligatory sprint and other gameplay changes, and gain more 13-year old mlg babies thanks to them.
And so the cycle continues.
