I thought the Reach setup wasn't that bad. H3 had RB to reload which was annoying as **** if your most played Halo was Reach, followed by 2.
The only AA that would've benefitted from being on one of the top buttons (LT,LB, etc) in reach was the jet pack, and I don't think it's in halo 4 MP. It doesn't matter if you take your thumb off the analog stick for a second to activate any of the others from reach and I don't see any of the new AAs being any different.
I think the Hard Light Shield will require holding rather than being a toggle, not sure though. I'd be interested to see if Promethean Vision is toggle or hold as well.
For anyone in Texas or anyone that will be going to Texas for Rooster Teeth's RTX event, Rooster Teeth · Play Halo 4 at RTX! Public Hands-on Halo 4
How ironic is it that my mother-in-law is making a one day trip to Austin this weekend. Why couldn't RTX have even then??? Hopefully we get some footage of Longbow from this expo. Edit: Oh, nevermind. It doesn't start until July 7th
Alright, I've been thinking, and there's really only two things that I REALLY want from 343i (in addition to my other posts) *More dynamic objects in MP maps: Think the stalactites on Waterworks, the doors on Orbital and Standoff, the train on Terminal, the bouncy platform on Midship, the wheel on Zanzibar/Last Resort, the hatch on High Ground, etc. *FLOOD FIREFIGHT (or at least a S.O. that is customizable like Reach's FF).
Hate to break it to you but I'm pretty sure H4 has no firefight mode. Replaced by Sartan Ops. Agreed with the desire for the dynamic objects, though I hope we get more than just that.
They are just letting the public play Halo 4. There is always that low chance that they might reveal something. Wouldn't count on it though.
My guess is this will provide 343 with some feedback for the game, and let them see how more people react to the changes. If something new in released great, but I dont expect a thing.
It would be nice if 343 made some Achievement Horse maps for Roosterteeth at the event. Then we could get a decent look at the forge pallet.
I just had an epiphany. I'm sure it's been said before somewhere, but I'm not sure if it's been said here. Promethean Vision will end HLG as we know it.
You'll just have to find some category where that AA isn't present. I'm sure they'll be one or two with loadouts you have to pick, instead of your custom ones, or you go to MLG or the "Classic" one they've mentioned.
