Halo 4

[Choca Cola]

What if in invasion you start off in detailed drop pods, and when you whole team drops that area would be your first spawn point and you pick up your weapons like a br and a pistol from inside the pod, that would be awesome

You have no idea how long I've thought that.
But the problem with Halo 4 is that consoles only have what it has when you buy it. A few years later it's outdated, so what do we do? Make an entirely new console. Unlike a computer where you can install new software and at times hardware, so you can push it's limits beyond what it could originally do(Battlefield 3 anyone?)I realize that technology will always push forward, therefore out with the old and in with the new. But for that time being it makes things better for computer owners.

Thought you guys would like to know that it has been confirmed in the Waypoint forums by Frankie (I assume Frank O'Conner) that we will not be fighting the Flood in Halo 4.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. THEN WHATS THE POINT?! THATS THE POINT OF THE SHIELD WORLD!!!!!! DSGSFIGJFDSOJFFASKDFIJOAJ IDFIJFKADJ


I had a brain pop. What if Chief uses the new Forerunner Tech he finds to enhance Cortana so she doesn't go insane and increases her lifespan?

[ThatRussianBear]

Obviously they are not going to let cortana die if there is still going to be a halo 5 and 6

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. THEN WHATS THE POINT?! THATS THE POINT OF THE SHIELD WORLD!!!!!!

Actually, the primary purpose of a shield world is to serve as shelter from the activation of the Halo array. But they're also used to monitor and counter Flood outbreaks. Not necessarily fight them.

What if Chief uses the new Forerunner Tech he finds to enhance Cortana so she doesn't go insane and increases her lifespan?

I've heard somebody mention that that has already happened. I called bullshit.

I've been thinking about this, and I'm hoping he finds something to save her. This game is supposed to delve deeper into their relationship, so he's gonna get desperate and try to save her some way.

Obviously they are not going to let cortana die if there is still going to be a halo 5 and 6

Doesn't mean shit.

[Vestige]

I say Chief is going to have to sacrifice something big to save her. Either way, I don`t think the Chief is going to continue after Halo 6.

Hey, something from the recent Waypoint Podcast. Here is a basic sum of the info copy and pasted straight to here! Your welcome


Random Weapon Drops

Kevin "New weapon spawning system, in the context of the Infinity"

Kevin "Still initial Weapon drops at beginning of each game"

Josh? "Communicate to the player about weapon drops so they don't have to memorise"

Weapon drop called Ordanance Can change it in custom games.

Weapons drop from space into map. It can kill youBut has warnings

Players know when spawns will happen


Player Spawn System.

In certain modes, will be able to spawn into game. (David)

You have a choice when you die whether you customise your loadout or spawn right away.

Will be in Premier Slayer Experience.

Not in every mode! Not in Objective game types. Still a delay in objective game types.

Large chunk of MM not shown.


Loadouts

Will have options in customs games to change many things. Can turn off instant spawn.

Have to unlock BR.

Balancing the starting weapons. DMR good for long range. Can have short range weapons. BR and DMR not serving same role.

Warhouse name has been changed.

DMR has a set rate of fire. Fires at a slower rate.

BR is not OP, has recoil. Not as effective as DMR at longer range.

Mid range and closer BR is good.

Not every weapon is in the loadouts.

Some weapons only in ordance system.


Armor Abilities

Similar experience to Reach, but have seen how they used.

Sprint was most popular- but now default.

CAN'T USE SPRINT TO RUN AWAY. LEVELS DESIGNED FOR THIS.

Have a sprint meter.

A SLOW DOWN MECHANIC IF YOU ARE BEING SHOT!So can't double pummle or run away.

Similar base level movement/jump to halo 3


Looked out Halo 1/3 for inspiration.

Forerunner vision: range being tweaked. Treat like sonar, sweeps out. Delay from when you send it out. Other players can hear you using it. Just had new graphic for it.

Rock Paper scissors happening. Lots of trade offs with AA's.

Armour lock not in the game.

Armour abilities from Reach been changed.

Cortanaweb? Not sure- help me out here folks.

Weapons feel more dangerous

Team slayer is 4v4 Objective games are 5v5. Apologies for the confusion Here

Plasma Pistol and Sniper sound different. As do Grenades.

Assault Carbine a renamed weapon. Didn't feel powerful before? Been through an evolution? Needler? hmmmm


Spartan Ops

If you liked Firefight, you will like this.

Things you unlock go back and forth. Character same in both SO and MM.

Can unlock items before you go into competitive.

Objective and story based. rather than just survival based.

Reward for many things.

Much more focused on teamwork than FF was.

CG Series being made (SO linked).

Character you have built in MM linked to SO.




Small number of players. Exclusive given a chance to play the game.

END OF PODCAST.....

IF there is anything I missed, help me out folks

^Awesome info Surrounded.

^Awesome info Surrounded.

You can thank the kind people on the Waypoint forums bud . . . but don't actually do that because they'll have no idea what your talking about and most of them are whining about the changes in Halo 4.

[H2O Yordle]

I wanna know if Armor lock is making a reapperance. Idk if I like having Custom Loadouts in MM. It makes it kinda like CoD and BF.
