Probably some bullshit about spartan ops or else just the next map and not anything to ease our concerns with forge or matchmaking.
I wanna focus on this statement right here because this is the EXACT same thing the FH haters do; they lump every member on the site into a category when they disagree with a single or select few members' opinions and label it "Forge Hub" mentality. Forge Hub is such an open community that there can't even be a mentality here. There are so many members that completely disagree, members that do and don't voice their opinions and members who do hate the site but are still actively members. I understand that people like to have labels, since they're easier to describe things with but it does begin to spread a negative image of all members associated with that label (site), especially to people who may not be familiar with said site or its members. Man, I got a lot to catch up on in this thread.
It's a "multiplayer BTS" so I'm hoping war games. Edit: http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/U...tiplayer/c6a93f08-8b65-4851-97cc-d798f497f762
im a now genuinly nervous about forge after reading all of Overkill's thread on THC. I hope that he just has a copy of halo 3.999999 and not the fully finished halo 4. But there are still reasons to remain optimistic. The Bad (not just forge) (The things I care about) 1. No Falcon or Hornet - WTF 343 2. No Revenant - dafuq? 3. no way to identify AAs in forge - thats an easy fix. DO IT. 4. no fine editing/nudging - WHY would you remove that? you have the control space for it. USE IT 5. Issues with merging into the map's natural geometry - well thats a step down from Reach 6. Not being able to drop the flag - thats just dumb, but we'll adapt i guess 7. Gametypes - why so Few? where did assault go? why no invasion? territories? 8. Not being able to remove the built in buildings on Impact and Erosion - we'll adapt i guess, would have been better if we could remove them. 9. Generating Lighting, Please Wait - I know it only does that when you place a new object, but that cuts into our time way too much 10. Firefight - Please give this back to us THE GOOD 1. the weapons - holy **** are they awesome, the sounds, the looks, the variety! 2. The maps - they all look amazing, yes they are mostly big, but fast paced game will change that. 3. the campaign - Good lord am i excited for that 4. THE MANTIS - nuff said 5. Valhalla - " " 6. 3 forge environments - they all look really sexy 7. Flood - awesome new direction for infection 8. Trait zones and Grav zones - THANK YOU 343 9. new objects to forge with - I hoped for more, but atleast we got some! 10 Spartan Ops - THis is going to be amazing
ok.. that Vidoc made me reallllly excited for Sparton Ops. Restored some faith in forge and multiplayer
Spoiler so, apparently, they show MC's face at the end of H4 way to go 343i, yet another useless/detrimental "Were not Bungie" decision.
um, how about you spoiler that, bro. damn I want to watch that bts but it looks like ass for some reason, so I guess I'll wait for the Yt mirror.
I can't be arsed to do anything atm (besides type this, nice try ) Anyway, what is the problem with parts merging into map geometry? Can we not choose fixed, phased or normal physics?
As somebody who enjoys btb objective, it looks like I'll be playing a bunch of dominion. **** looks good. The only potential problem I see with it is that(judging from gameplay videos) the games might go by too quickly for my liking. I'd rather it be a marathon where you take time to strategize and build up base defenses rather than being a shallow sprint where you don't have time to do much other than kill 10 or so people and capture a base or two before the game ends
This thread says NO spoilers, ive already read some things i didnt want to know, and other people might also find this irritating (Ill forget it eventually i guess, but still) Putting the message in a spoiler wont help, because you want to know what is in the spoiler and you dont know that the spoiler contains a spoiler unless there is an warning. Now back to what the thread told me, ive seen someone say that there is no Falcon/no hornet, you cant tell me that there is no air vehicle in halo 4. Halo 4 is doing weird things to me, one moment i am very excited with what i see and cant wait, and the other moment i am dissapointed and questioning why that is not there, or why they didnt change it etc. In the end, halo never dissapoint me, there are just some small things.
Another quest chin/topic for thought. Will flood forms be able to hold weapons? It doesn't look like it, and if they can't then infection is ruined for me.
And then ruined for anyone who would use the gametype for minigames as well. Looks like we're going to have to be doing a ton of thinking inside the box in terms of making custom games in Halo 4. Thanks 343.
No, again this thread says no spoilers, so not in anyway. Not even a "Spoiler" as this is mostly used for other things.
my bad. Anyway, I saw the new vidoc, looks nice, and got me excited for H4 until I remembered what they did to it. A lot of these decisions seem to be 343i just reaffirming their separation from bungie. *these are all based on all accusations, both confirmed and unconfirmed Pros -flood mode -Sops -more forge options/optimization (trait/gravity zones, simpler pieces) -forge shadow baking -more forge environments (most look promising) -new campaign? -new weapons (maybe) -jetpack nerf (It needed it) Cons -thruster pack (not too bad, but it looks to much like a scene from DBZ, also, floor friction=ouch) -removal of invasion (I don't really like what they replaced it with, Auto turrets=frustration) -The Mantis (not so bad, at least this is optional in custom games) -No coordinate system/fine tuning/geomerging (the new forge caters to the casual forger, and discourages the creativity that made it flourish) -Sticky flag and Auto pickup (like changing combat roles in a ctf game was really that hard) -the announcements are excessive/corny ("flagsassination", really? [sub]but if someone gets killed by the oddball, hearing "You got boned" would be hilarious[/sub]) -needing a power up to pick up grenades (last time I checked, only really old/obese people need help bending over) -emphasis on points (This is just degrading the honor system and general player's code, do I really need an incentive to help a team mate?) -no UNSC aerial vehicles (fuuuuuuuuu) -no firefight (though sops replaces it nicely, owait, you need XBL Gold to play it >.<)
