    it would be most logical that they are just being run by AIs left behind by the forerunners, but for the sake of a good story something bigger is definitely going on, almost certainly involving the didact. his symbol was shown at the end of the e3 video, but it was turned upside down and orange instead of blue, so it seems he is corrupted or changed somehow.

    "The T-55 Storm Rifle is the evolution of the standard Plasma Rifle and served various infantry during the violent Sangheili civil conflicts that followed the Covenant War. The weapon now includes a modular coil set, a high-mounted cooling shroud, and an extended barrel, all contributing to greater overall performance in the field than its predecessor."

    That'd probably be why we're fighting them again.

    That's what she said!

    lol I don't think so though. The description indicates it's for forward momentum, and the screenshot I've seen makes it look like it has a fixed orientation. And what direction on the thumbstick would make you go upwards? My guess would be fixed orientation or maybe thrust in the direction of your reticule.

    Edited by merge:


    They could have survived the Halo rings firing inside a Dyson Sphere (such as Requiem). Then it's just a matter of deciding if they were in suspended animation, have extremely long life spans, or have gone through a few thousand generations since the rings fired. And all of those options would accommodate the Forerunners collectively going crazy and becoming hostile to 'invading aliens'.

    jump button. im not entirely sure, but from the videos ive seen it seems like it thrusts you in whatever direction you are currently moving, even though it doesnt really make sense from a physics standpoint. although i dont think ive seen anyone do it while jumping.

    lol, a lot of those are "nominee". I'll bet Watch Dogs got the top honors. Not that Halo 4 doesn't deserve awards.

    I really hope they improved it instead of keeping it the same but with different canvases

    In his day 2 video, Walshy specifically states that it works in all directions.

    Looks like they ended up winning quite a few of those nominations and added a few more to the tally:

    Something I noticed from the e3 footage...chief doesn't seem to be able to carry two weapons only one...

    No Waterfall, if you were actually observant you would see otherwise. When chief fights the crawlers he switches from the Battle Rifle to the Assault Rifle. You might have thought this because only the weapon icon for what you have equipped is shown on the HUD?

    I don't think it does. I mean, I respect his opinion as someone who clearly has played a lot of Halo, and one of the few who has played Halo 4 at all. But at the same time, he's one guy, who almost certainly has only played the game for a few hours at the most. Opinions of Reach from experienced players are quite diverse, and these are people who have all played dozens or even hundreds of hours of the game.

    So much of the judgment of a game is incredibly subjective. I would never trust any one person's take on a game, and certainly not at this point when the game isn't out and no one outside of 343 has played it much at all. I do have a lot more confidence in this game than I did a month ago, and I will be buying it day of release as usual. But nothing is settled with certainty - absolutely not. We'll probably still have raging debates about the success or failure of Halo 4 months after it's released, let alone today, months before it exists.

    The guy said at the start of that video "I didn't get a chance to play Halo 4 :sniffle: :("
    Then throughout the video he was saying, "I've played it, it's fantastic... you NEED to play it to understand"

    The ****?

    Trust me, halo 4 isn't like COD
    Trust me, instant respawn doesn't ruin gameplay
    Trust me.

    Seriously, he doesn't even explain why these things are good or bad, "it just is" or "who cares.". I had forgotten about instant respawns, which I hope is only in infinity slayer with all the other crap. This is a worthless video, end of story.

    Also, aside from the pre-e3 leaks, has there been confirmation about starting with a shotgun. Or are jet packs in MP?

    Hey we should be getting a halo 4 video of an entire match from here in less than five minutes.

    At least that is what everyone is saying.

    He played it the first two days, was talking about the third.

    I must agree, one person doesnt settle the issue over this being like CoD (I never really had the issue but it will certainly still exist). Regardless, his views on having played the game are interesting to hear and may reassure some.
