Halo 4 Discussion

I don't know if we'd be able to tweak the thruster pack in the game settings exactly, but I think they may go the route that Reach took with higher movement speed and evade. The higher the movement speed, the further you evaded. It seems like it would be a much more viable alternative then letting us tweak the AA itself, but hey, if they do let us do that, great, if not, I won't be surprised. Like you said with the way they've been limiting our settings and all.

 

That makes a lot of sense actually, those Flood players look pretty fast.

The fact that he could confindently answer the more in-depth questions is breath of fresh air.

 

Abandon looks like that map Nutduster build.

 

I thought the exact same thing. Still never got to play that one.

 

Question: "Is 10 players the max for Flood?"
Answer: "Yes."

I wish the guy would clarify whether that's just for the matchmaking playlist or for any variant of the mode, because not being able to have 12-16 players in customs would be incredibly disappointing.

 

someone on Halo council said that we might get forge news tomorrow... hoping its true. "plus we're getting some Forge news this wednesday I think."

 

I'm sure customs would allow you to go 16 players. Why would they limit it?

 

Wasn't it ten max in the Reach playlist?

 

I'm willing to bet it's only 10 for the matchmaking playlist.

 

You mean Terrorium? I can see that. Thats probably where they got their inspiration from lol
Also means it could be good for 1 flag.

 

are these all being released over the course of the next month?
or is it all as part of one halo 4 mega-feature that we will get to see over this course of this week?
i couldn't find any info pertaining to that, only saw the 2 new vids.

 

We will be getting 2 map walkthroughs a week, for 5 weeks leading up to the release of Halo 4 with the info dropping through IGN on Tuesday and Thursday.

 

The more I look at Abandon, the more I really like it. Glad to see maps of this size aren't gone. I just hope it is for 1-Flag and not Multi.

Lookin forward to the upcoming videos. I guess that's only one more map left we haven't seen, right?

 

No, two left. Ravine is a forge environment so it doesn't count. 343 said there are 10 maps that ship with the game, not including forge environments.

 

I really love those purple orbs inside the trees. It would be pretty cool if those were forgeable...

 

Apparently there's some news floating around that we'll get some forge info tomorrow. Apparently on the neogaf forums. I really hope this is true.

 

Abandon looks very...isolated. Like each part of the map is almost independent and almost unrelated to the others both aesthetically and physically. The low ground looks rather out of the way.

Can't really be sure from the vid though. I do like how 'purple' looks, and circular behavior on maps can be really cool if done correctly IMO.

I'm looking forward to Solace the most right now, I think it has both aesthetic and gameplay potential. Next being Ragnarok and Haven.

 

please have a vertical map! what do you guys think are the odds of having this sort of map?

 

You know, after Sword Base and especially with jet pack still in, I want vertical maps to go and stay gone.

I would venture a guess that the last is another 8v8 or 6v6, considering 343 believes Abandon, Haven and Adrift to be 'small' maps. Personally, I would love a 2v2 or so, and I don't think that either my hope or yours will be close to the last map. I could be wrong.

A consolation prize would be Mammoths on the last map. Those look fun just to **** around with.
