Halo Bulletin: The Halo Bulletin: 8.15.12 How is there not a thread on this yet? They have announced the new Armor Specializations! They are gonna put one hell of a twist in multiplayer and I think it will give COD a run for it's money. Personally, I think that Engineer will be put to good use. Being able to predict the Ordinances will be great for team strategies.
Why not discuss it in it's own thread though? If this were the case what is the point of all the other Halo 4 topics?
Some larger discussions warrant a thread, such as the thread for forge. Usually smaller topics are fine in the Halo 4 discussion thread.
I think it's a large enough topic to hold it's own thread. Instead of throwing it into "Halo 4 Discussion" where it can easily swing topics away from the Specializations, as in here it's focused on them where you can continually discuss strategies or how it would change multiplayer for better or worse.
Seeing as armor specializations are completely new and a pretty big change for Halo I think it warrants it's own thread. Now let's stop discussing the discussion. It's pretty obvious which one of those I will be using if given the option since I spend more time in vehicles than on foot. Decreased hijacking window...wraith splatter sprees shall ensue.
Regardless of whether or not it takes from COD at all, it still sounds very interesting. As long as every gun isn't a long range assault rifle and there are vehicles I'm happy. And yes pyro, I think we know what you will be using. I'll probably experiment with a few of them, though as driving and gunning are my favorite halo pastimes I will likely use one of those last two. A few are looking a little problematic so far though: The Stalker Mod that highlights the enemy that just killed you seems like a bad idea for 1 v 1's. I suppose we'll see in November anyhow. And on a final note, any details on that Promethian Pistol in the Tracker Specialization?
lol, probably true. I dunno bro. As a wise man once said (about specialization systems): "dat **** cray".
If I didn't have such an awesome sig, I would sig this. The only one i'm using is the one to make you level up faster.
I think I'll be using engineer the most if I play with a party, but I'd I go out solo I would chose stalker.
So are you by sarcastically claiming we are original and clever for sarcastically remarking upon similarities H4 shares with other titles.
Has nothing to do with originality. It is a sarcastic method of bringing attention to the increasing similarities of Halo/CoD. dyb
YEAH SPECIALIZATIONS!!! I dont think most of the specializations will be much use to me except wetwork (move faster and quieter) because im great at assassinations and engineer (to get to the good weapons fast). Pioneer (level up faster) seems OK too.
Well... I think this will turn out like the AAs in Reach. We all use the same one (Sprint / Leveling up faster thingy) and occasionally change in in different gametypes (switch to Armor Lock in BTB Heavies). Plus they'll be banned from MLG
