What have they done to the shotgun?
Only interesting weapon is that Gauss Rifle.

Video removed. :/
I came.
DUBSTEP WUB WUB WUB WUB!
Seriously WTF 343.
On an related note, the rail gun is pretty cool.
"SAW".
it has finally happened :aaaaa:
These are all the same sounds we have been hearing for a while if not months, with the exception of the rocket, shotty, SAW, and gauss.Quote:

It generally sounds like they are going for something more mechanical with the UNSC weapons, very much evident in the shotgun, AR, Sniper, DMR and even in the Rockets to some degree.
Couldn't hear a single sound over the fucking music...
The HWU has a link to the video without the dub step music and with the actual weapon sounds
Whatd they mix up the new fuel rod sounds with the rocket launchers?
Oh, sweet! I like what I hear :realsmug:
didn't you see the glowyness? the rocket IS the fuel rod now.Quote:

have you even heard a real gun being shot before?Quote:

Rocket doesn't sound THAT much like the Fuel Rod. Sounds more like the Rockets from Metroid Prime Hunters.
I like the clicky noises. It's 500+ years into the future, so if no Gunpowder and more "pew pew" than they can claim artistic freedom.
Actually, it makes a hissing crackly noise when it burns and only goes boom when you put it in a plugged up tube, i.e. a gun barrel. Mechanicals inside of a gun also make noise when they operate. There's plenty of the latter in the video, not much of the former.Quote:

I direct you to how the developer hired people on this one.Quote:

Yeah SAW that looks like fun lets spray endless laser bullets at people until they fall over dead.
Railgun is cool, but they should have had it be 'the sniper'. As it is now it's just a shitty spartan laser.
I like how Frankie himself said he doesn't know yet how to use the pistol. Symptom of content overload? I think yes.
You guys are too :mech:.

Not much is really shown aside from how player traits are going to be really cool and the Banshee still looks like Reach.
I'm not sure how I like almost every Forge object being a re-skin of the ones from Reach. It'll make life a lot easier to remake a few of my old maps though.
BTW, every little UV error in the original Forge World is burned into my retinas. I will bitch like there is no tomorrow if I find just one in the new version.

Yes it is, but there will still be grenades on the map. I can't say I'm particularly pleased about this addition (which most likely won't be in the Classic Playlists), but if it forces people to use their grenades in a smart way instead of spamming them like they did in Reach, I'm not complaining.Quote:

It doesn't bother me much. Grenades have been a very bitter sweet part of Multiplayer. Though at the right times they are great, half of the time you die or end up dying from grenade spam.
You do have a point DH, grenade spamming has always been a bit of an issue in Halo, especially when it is so simple to use them. Cutting down on the number of grenades you pick up at any given time could help to eliminate that particular problem, and as long as there are enough on the map to pick up, it should balance out quite nicely.
Someone is eventually going to turn it into the XBOMB 3000.

Let's see how you all react to this : http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/08/1...player-forever
That doesn't actually sound that bad. None of them are game-breaking, and I like the ability to slowly regenerate health for vehicles. I am a little scared of the concept of an Operator driving a tank, no way to EMP them.
I was about to say that this sounded like Fishstick perks. I decided to read through the whole article.
It sounds like Fishstick perks.
I'm not saying that's a bad thing, if implemented properly. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.
It'll still affect them, but not as much. But hey, we dealt with it in Halo 1 and 2, we can do it again now.Quote:

I'm betting the specializations are DLC'able. Hopefully, they exist outside of the map files.
I'm...not liking this. Aside from making the game all the more ridiculously complex, now I'm going to be screaming at my TV more because of the bullshit.
Sigh, more crap thrown into the ring for stupid "player customization" that even further offsets the balance of the game. Welcome to modern gaming :[
Yeah, one of the great things about past Halo games was the ability to just 'jump in and play'. This is a new breed of Halo, trying to compete with the other 'major' FPSes.
Don't be so :mech: ODX. There is also a lot of positive opportunity for this. Maybe if all you play is classic Halo, then you'd be kind of pissed with this, but after playing a lot of other games I'm kind of glad to see more personalization outside the cosmetic models. I love FPS games with complexity because they become both a puzzle and a shooter in one.Quote:

That's exactly what he did when I asked them to release Halo 3 tags to the CE community. It was laughable.
Bad animations = terrible experience for me. Can't stare at ugly all the time, the only decently animated thing is the DMR...and that's from Reach.Quote:

I guess it really does come at a matter of opinion here. Honestly, the animations don't bother me much, nothing like what we saw in HA10 with that Assault Rifle shit rig. I'm not a pro animator, so I probably couldn't find the obnoxious minor details. However, we both know I'm mainly in the gameplay and story side of things, so like I said it's merely a matter of opinion. But I totally get what you mean. If there's a detail in the game that constantly stares me in the face, especially when it's a detail about an asset I like, then the game simply becomes unplayable. It's sad to be honest.Quote:

The diarrhea-yellow yellow stripe pales in comparison to what I see in the middle. :ohdear:
I'll be honest, those are pretty damn fugly. I'm glad we can choose the regular skins over these...things...
Incidentally, the already-revealed scout and recon helmets are the best-looking so far.Quote:

Fake Edit: CIO helm looks like Sam Fisher. D:
Fake Edit 2: Also, Oceanic helm might be a Big Daddy?

I'm so horribly confused now.
Did 343i make Halo microtransaction based or something?
What? No, why do you say that?
Those weapon skins are fugly. Very fugly. Do not want.
Those permutations on the other hand look pretty damn cool.
Agreed. The only skin which is not bad is the Carbine's. I love how a lot of helmets are quite different from the usual whole-face visor thing we've had in the past.

Thankfully this isn't CoD, otherwise I'd agree with you. I'll school any bastard with just an AR and a Carbine. Unless the perk grants them infinite ammo, bottomless clip, and a rocket launcher from the start, I don't think I'll have a problem fighting anyone in this game.Quote:

Oh god. Why is this happening?
Am I the only one here that's going to whore the railgun+promethean weapons like a mofo?
I want to play with the Railgun. I think it's going to be cool. I'm actually looking forward to the game. I don't care much for the art style on some stuff. But over all, the game itself looks kinda fun to play.
I think those will be my first pickups on the field if I need to. The AR/Carbine combo is so damn solid though, it'll definitely be the ammo that makes me switch weapons. AH I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT.Quote:

No, that's not how it works. Those of us buying the Limited Edition get to select any Specialization once we reached level 50, while those with the Standard Edition only get the choice between Wetworks and Pioneer at first. The ability to play through new specializations will unlock in the weeks following the game's release. But everybody will have access to everything within a short period of time. It's like they're giving free power weapon loadouts to people who pay more money.Quote:

Those skins look like vomit.
Also, I can't put my finger on it, but something about the Spartans Boots....REALLY turns me off.
Is it just me or are we seeing more stuff from the campaign here than ever before? And I love the look of those large environments, hope it delivers what it promises.
:woop:
Well, now we know why the weapons sounds like shit. They actually went and recorded live weapons and modified them. Live weapons should only be used as a basis for understanding why they sound as they do >_<. Why do they think hollywood hollywoods up guns in movies?
Other than that, feeling a bit better about the music oddly enough. Still think this will be a game I rent/borrow for a weekend to see how fucked the established universe is and wait for it to go down to 20 bucks before I buy.
I still think the weapons sound good, just saying.
But yeah, the music sounds pretty damn amazing if you ask me, Neil is definitely living up the Marty's music from the first trilogy.
If there's anything I was excited for with this game, it was the story.
And holy shit, I am excited for the story. The emotion in the music is heart-wrenching as always, and I don't even know what scenes it'll pertain to yet. And it sounds Halo, it has a unique flair to it.
The dude yelling at the Master Chief. HOLY SHIT. I really do think this is going to be cool. Multiplayer might be interesting, but I'm really looking forward to what 343 does with the story.
Fake Edit: I realize now, that I love Halo 4 so much more when there isn't some half-wit from 343i talking over the top of it.
Not really true. The weapons in the Battlefield series are recorded from real ones and then modified, and Battlefield is pretty much the golden standard for in-game audio, especially guns.Quote:

The music is pretty nifty. I can hear a twinge of the Reach theme, but used in a more refined way. Personally, I think this will be the next best Halo soundtrack after Halo 1 and ODST.
As for the story, it will be interesting within the game, but for me it's ultimately ruined because it runs with that crap Whatshisface has been writing.
Well I've never personally like any Halo story (HERESY!!), so this should still be great for me.
Pre-ordered today.
That might be the only reason why I'll cringe at the story, given it deviates too far from the Terminals we saw in Halo 3. If it stays connected to those Terminals, I'll be okay with whatever wacky shit they put in there since the Terminals are one of the last pieces of legitimate canon before the bad novels started being written. If there's some Glasslands references, I'd be alright with those too.Quote:

I'm gonna try to keep an open mind for the story. I'm not really excited for multiplayer. It just seems like it'll be worse than Reaches since they're throwing MORE perks. The music though I like so far, and the gun sounds. Except fir the scatter shot. That's just blegh
I think you should hold a more open mind towards Multiplayer then. It takes a lot from modern FPS games, but I have faith that 343i will make it into something nice. On aesthetic assets they lack a bit of direction (skin designs = wtf), but gameplay is looking very intriguing, complex, and solid. I just have a feeling that this game will end up being a lot better than many of the :mech: Halo fans think it will be.Quote:
