I have had my fair share of both sports and have come to the conclusion that Paintball is better for me. I find it far more challenging and athletic and it helps to keep me in shape. Plus they hurt more and leave marks so it is very hard to lie and say you weren't hit. What is your favorite and why?

Yes but some people are simply disappointed that Halo 4 is moving in the direction of a Call of Duty style game by speeding up the kill times and adding extensive customization features. I can completely understand this disappointment and I can completely understand the other side of the argument. Its simply a matter of the medium and method that they use to voice their opinion.

Not nearly enough people are comparing Halo 4 to CoD as these threads are popping up. That being said I think that the majority of people that are comparing the two games are being severely misunderstood. Their comparisons to CoD aren't as far off mark as some people would like to think, and some successful game mechanics from that series are being brought over to Halo 4. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But to say that Halo 4 is a new CoD game or that there aren't any comparisons to be made is simply inncorrect. Because it isn't and there are.

Interrogating enemy players 0_o I'm not in support of anything that promotes competition between clans. It gets to be very annoying when people start to create drama everywhere. The only reason I am in the clan that I'm in right now is because of the lack of drama (A feature I love about this site as well).

Obviously 343industries is going to do anything within their power to stop cheating/boosting/Modding. The reason nobody has asked this question and nobody has talked about it is because of how obvious a video game companies resistance and reaction towards cheaters will be. There are no dumb questions and don't ever feel like there are. Now this can develop into a debate about how cheaters should be handled. While I don't think this was ever the intention of the thread it doesn't matter. EDIT: The only way somebody could ever make me cheat is if doing so gave me something new (like a cardboard box chestpiece). So I do not think this would be a likely solution. I myself am in full support of reviving the Halo 3 banhammer. It seemed to work well enough.

BTB is great. I love splattering people in the ghost or renevant. Plus you don't have to deal with all the MLG pro tryhards that are present in the other playlists.

I will make sure to watch these when you do them. I reccomend reading some of the forerunner trilogy and any other Halo books you can get your hand on as well. I thought that I had a deep grasp on the Halo universe having played all the games avidly... but there's so much more to it that can be explored in the books.

LOL this is something I would probably say to a teacher during class when they pose a stupid question XD Liked good sir.

Its not so much a realism thing as a balancing thing. If you had a railgun that you could fire with just the press of a button it would be way to powerful. Same goes for the spartan laser and plasma launcher (which I do not believe is returning). Also in real life railgun technology works that way where you have to charge it before firing. So it is realistic too.

Am I the only one who thinks that this might just be a terrible gameplay mechanic?

http://cortana.net/ Check the source code and it says "Hah, I bet you were expecting a hidden message here weren't you."

It should. Fans have been crying for its speedy return since Reach was first released. With 2 new drivable vehicles that we still have relatively no clue about (I don't think driving a mammoth is very likely) I could definatly see it returning. My only hope is that if it does return we should have the option to place it in forge maps. The possibilities for map design with an elephant are endless.

This sounds like a wonderful addition. I was always annoyed at trying to shoot at an opponent from across Hemorrage only to not know if I actually hit anything. This will give a visual confirmation so that I can know if I am doing something right.

Hopefully this doesn't mean that you can spawn with a sniper if you are a sniper specilization

Yeah it's looking to be coming along quite well I used to feel the same way about the Firepower package. Then I examined it a little more. As a BTB player with 343industries recently confirming that the Plasma Pistol does stun vehicles and EMP shields, I believe that having the Plasma Pistol is vastly superior to any gains that could be made by having both the DMR and the BR at the same time. At least in gametypes with vehicles.

Good to hear about the carbine getting nerfed. From the videos we have been seeing featuring the carbine it seemed to just annihalate people way too much. Also I would like to say that Thruster Pack isn't really a skillful version of the jetpack. Its the spartans version of evade. As for some of the comments about Hardlight Shield... Yes it is an armor ability not a perk. When you use it it casts a shield made out of hard light (lol) and blocks any incoming projectiles that hit it. We still have basically no clue as to what other things this shield can be used for. I wouldn't be suprised if it can be used to destroy vehicles also. I think it would be fine considering how much more skill it would take than the noobtacular armor lock AA from Halo Reach. Here is a picture for all who don't understand what it is in game.

This is sort of old news. But yeah it looks amazing. Can't wait to see what people build in it.

The problem with Drop Shield is that it hurt the map flow. Maps are meant to flow in a certain way continuously. When somebody used a drop shield it disrupted that flow as the person inside wasn't going anywhere and the players outside just sat there and waited for it to drop before swooping in for the kill. I believe this is why they took it as well as most of Reach's AA's out of Halo 4.
