Oh, that's Chapter 2. That one was actually really fun and neat to play on. I didn't entirely notice it was the end of Requiem until a bit later in since it looked so much different at night.

Oh yeah and the Forge Test playlist is awesome. At least, most of the maps I've played so far are. I played this beautifully simple and arena style CTF match. Felt like the old Halo 3 days since there were WEAPON SPAWNS and they weren't marked on the UI like ordnance. The only thing marked was the overshield in the middle, which was nice because that thing is pretty inconsipicious compared to the giant glowing ball in previous games.
Halo 4 is finally starting to pickup, in my opinon.
I played one game yesterday and I'm assuming you're talking about the same map I'm thinking of. Very symmetrical map, OS kinda raised up on that middle platform? Flag return super quick? I loved that gametype and map. It was so fun to have almost like a speed flag gametype.
Inconspicuous because everything else is holy fuck bright. Welcome back, Overshield cube, you have been missed!
yo dawgs, so liek we hurd u liek infinity so we're taking u to infinity and beyond: http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/un...sode-7-trailer
Btw, if anyone wants to actually understand the story before playing Halo 4, then do this:
Read Fall of Reach and The Flood, play Halo 1,Read First Strike, play Halo 2 and Halo 3, read Ghosts of Onyx, Glasslands, The Thursday War, and then finally you can start Halo 4. Now you'll actually be able to understand what all their cryptic story bullshit is about (Infinity, Didact, Requiem, and most importantly, Jul 'Mdama).
Yeah, I didn't read asslands and herpday war until after Halo4 and so expierencing H4 was all like "okay..."
Then afterwards it was all like "fuck this Halsey knocking Traviss bitch, and fuck Jul"
Halsey is kicking ass and taking names and I'm loving it.
Oh, also: Chapter 3 (Ep6) was fucking awesome. Why the hell wasn't Spartan Ops this fun for the first 5 episodes?
Hint:. FLYING FUCKING BANSHEES IN A BIG CAVE KNOCKIN' DOWN SOME BITCH ASS PROMETHEANS.
Dude, I'm going to have to disagree with you on this. I thought Glasslands and The Thursday War were both very good, entertaining, and my only remote gripe is that there was little from the Arbiter's perspective. I don't see Karen Traviss knocking on Dr. Halsey at all: considering how Parangosky as a character is and what ONI has always been, this is the exact sort of thing you'd see them do to gain faith from both the civilians and high brass by letting out what they all THINK is the worse skeleton in the closet. Obviously, we as the audience know differently, but the fact is simply that Parangosky had to release the origins of what Halsey did back then to boost promotions for the Spartan IV program. At the same time, we know Halsey as a character is still very much intact and is true to what we know her as.
I simply think you're being a bit too cynical about this brah.
And Jul is cool. His hostility is also kind of warranted given the UNSC bound/gagged him, incarcerated him, starved him, fed him genetically engineered food that would be distributed to his people to starve them into near/complete extinction, found out the UNSC was trying to do this, had a bomb strapped to him if, and finally escaped only to find out his wife had been murdered by UNSC interference which has forced the Sangheili to cooperate with UNSC actions. Yeah, I'd kind of be pissed too.
I just wish we would see more from Halfjaw or the Arbiter.
