Subject: First Halo 4 Gameplay! The BR IS CONFIRMED! - 343 Industries

Load-outs were Microsoft's idea all along. They had Bungie put them in Reach.

Looks pathetic. LOL343.


OMG. Look at the score. 380 to 240. They're adding extra zeroes now...smells a lot like cod up in here.
the scroe is like that probably because they're doing long term testing with unlimited points.

or it could be a king of the hill game.

In the brief demo that we saw, the words "Headshot kill!" or "Melee kill!" will flash on the screen when you've killed someone in the corresponding way.

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

It says, "BR Slayer" in the corner.

Also why would they do long term testing if games would be to 50 or whatever. And what are the odds that at the exact moment that screenshot was taken, the scores both ended in zero? 1/10 * 1/10= 1% chance.

TL;DR- you're wrong.

Users in the Flood have already pointed out that the gametypes in question also give 5 points per medal earned in a kill.

The score is like that because of extra points earned from the medals.

So the default slayer will be an action sack game.

They're using the same type of scoring MoH '10 used.
Except MoH '10 also had a kill limit alongside it, I think.

At least they seemed to be jumping pretty high...

But they might just have the 'jump height' perk. :/

This isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It's much, much worse.

I knew the CoD population was always higher than Halo, and that they generate more sales... but what, did 343 just decide "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em"?

Don't worry man. They aren't.

In CoD You change your abilities and then part of your player model is changed to reflect that.

In Halo of Duty you change your armor and that armor changes part of your abilities.

Totally different thing. No similarities can be drawn between them in any way.

Gee, thanks for dispelling that terrible assumption. I feel so much better now. :\

Roll the dice, try again.

Updated OP including this;

Power weapons may not be on set timers

We're hearing that power weapons may not respawn in at set intervals, adding some unpredictability as to when rocket launchers, Spartan Lasers, and WMDs may reappear on the battlefield. The point of this is to make sure experienced players won't dominate matches by running timed circuits to grab all the best goodies.

That's ALWAYS been the point of Halo. The best players get the best weapons first and usually get the most kills. It's not fair randomizing every possible aspect of the game so some 10 year old thumbless squeaker won't get his feelings hurt in MM.

What derps like you don't seem to understand is that good players will still maintain map control.....

Should weapons spawn at random won't change much since the good players will still control them in the end.

Yup. Hopefully ones we're all familiar with from previous titles.

Frags and plasmas are staples, as for the third, it could be:

-Incendiary
-Spike
-some weird new Forerunner tech(?)

I can almost guarantee you'll be eating those words. If this game is what we're all reading about and seeing, it'll make Reach look amazing by comparison.

Subject: Halo 4 is going to be terrible - all you tryhards read this.

We have been raised for combat...
We carry our banner to our fights...
Alone we are a menace, together we are a threat...
Born to raise hell, live to drop back in it...
Never retreat, never surrender... we are spartans.

Here's my opinion (from what I understand):

-If there are going to be random spawns for power-weapons and/or vehicles than I support it.

I mean if you play the game and can't win without having to camp near a weapon spawn area then you are just bad and it's about time you run around guns blazing(not too literally of course) like the rest of us.

-If AA's are coming back fine, don't care, just want them to work fine with each other without having one too powerfull.

-If there are going to be individual loadouts I (again) don't care, as long as the very powerfull weapons stay OUT of the weapon choices. Otherwise things are going to go south real bad.

As for ranking I don't care how they do it. Only that there aren't any high ranked-requiered armor pieces. (that would be a pain for anyone who couldn't reach the desired rank)

Flame me, annoy me, sit in the corner and cry about it. This is my opinion, if you want to object or opose then leave a rational reply with a perfectly good reason as to why. Otherwise just move along.

Or if there's anything I got wrong here or something I didn't mention or know do point it out.

I know I saw somebody somewhere saying that they thought that bullets would come from the gun finally and I wanted to post this link to show that it is still bullets from the face.

That's actually a very unfair and unbalanced way of thinking. By your logic the "elite" players will always win because they have the best or biggest weapons and not because of skill.

And by then what we have will be more CoD then anything... just my opinion.
