Better have Bumper Jumper!

Ok guys . . . more news about Halo 4.

So . . . at NYC Microsoft had some event for . . . whatever. BUT many comments flooded in on twitter about Halo gameplay . . . here is what I have heard:

- BR still has spread but it isn't that bad, and the BR does have a little bit of recoil (supposedly not too much)
- DMR returns, firing slower than in reach but bloom IS back. However the player commented saying that the bloom seemed to reset faster than in Halo Reach and there was no need to pace his shots.
- Good DMR user will beat a BR user at almost all ranges.
- Along with the random map ordinance player can now receive . . . personal ordinance . . . we currently don't know how we get personal ordinance as the players who got them didn't notice why and 343i hasn't clarified.
- DEFAULT control layout has Sprint as the left thumb-stick and B as the crouch button . . . BUT controls are HEAVILY customizable (meaning there are a bunch of different control settings). So many in fact that Frankie hasn't even chosen his own default layout yet (Frankie is stinkles or something like that).

Here is a link to this information (because I know you'll ask for proof): http://www.littleenglishhaloblog.com...ng-halo-4.html

NO ONE freak out though, the people who have played have stated that the game still very much feels like Halo and it played, looked, and sounded great. I still have faith in 343.
