Mr. Snazz

So, are the Precursors the Flood or the Promethean? I have seen lots of talk about this. The Precursors are the most advanced version of the Flood right? And the Promethean are another different being correct?

If you were not at ComiCon, like myself, then you missed a lot of Halo 4 news. Luckily, people post videos and here is the full 1 hour 343i press conference. You should watch this whole thing just to see the new assassinations that are specific to certain game types. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35_pXjNsDUY

Technically no one knows yet, no one has asked this question nor has 343i discussed this. Maybe there will be special armor for people who are found cheating called the ConArtist or something.

This has been brought up a lot and no, you spawn with a "custom class." The class being Main Weapon-BR, DMR, Carbine, Assault Rifle, or Promethean AR Sidearm-Magnum Grenade-Frag, Plasma, or Promethean Grenade Perk That is the formula that has been released but is subject to change, they have said that it will not change much more than that though. Considering how snipers are extremely powerful in Halo, it would just be silly to let us spawn with them.

...do you understand the point of MLG? Really? And he very well could go pro in Halo 4, a lot of the pros are retired now because they said Reach took so much out of them, it felt like a chore to have to play and it was fun. They are done for the next one or two seasons. On the other hand, Fear is back...good luck going pro with him because he is INSANELY good again. I watched his stream, he is legitimately back from his "retirement" and amazing at the game again. Oh and if you don't know who Fear is he played for Classic, if you don't know who Classic is then please leave MLG. Anyway, Fear talks about how he went pro from playing Halo 1 at the end of it's life cycle and being alright at the game by the time Halo 2 came out. He said when Halo 2 came out there was already a huge following on the Pro Circuit so he played a lot to get his game up. Virtually anyone that wanted to go pro could at this point in time for Halo 4. If you dedicated yourself and played from now up until Halo 4 comes out, then play Halo 4 from now until March when MLG starts up again, you could easily be an incredible player.

Yes, I have been trying to find an MLG Custom lobby for a while, I have all the V7 gametypes and maps but just so few people to do it with on my new account.

The Hard Light shield canNOT destroy vehicles. If you throw it up you WILL get splattered by the vehicle. Yet...a rocket can't get through it and rocket's do more damage than vehicles.

Hello, I am not looking to start a 30+ person clan where we all get together, yada, yada, yada. I am looking for 3 other great players that may be interested in doing GameBattles. At first we will play some MLG game types on Halo Reach and if we stick together we will become an official team. If you have a decent shot with the DMR and are excited for Halo 4, add me. We will discuss the different roles, Slayer, Support Slayer, Support OBJ, Objective when I have a definite 3 others I want to do this with. GT: ForbiddenWoods Prerequisites: Must have a gaming headset. ie: Turtle Beach, Tritton, Astro, any good headset to actually hear the world of Halo around you.

I have never really noticed a grenade problem in Halo.

You make it sound so saddening

RoosterTeethFan nailed it on the head. Armor Lock is long gone, the shield is an ability, like Promethean Vision, so you pull it up if you are getting shot at.

Hello!!!!

That was my idea originally, too. I just wanted the Halo Reach issues to be corrected, Reach had SO MUCH potential but kind of crashed and burned, I still have fun on Reach but once I get Halo 3 back I will probably play that more.

Yep, 343i has honestly took a lot of ideas from Reach and actually developed them. Reach is so awkward for people who have been part of Halo since the original because we are used to a very basic shooter that took lots of skill whereas Reach tried to develop that basic shooter. In the end Reach armor abilities felt like a last second idea rather than actually a well thought out plan, 343i has just made corrections to lots of those things. Examples: Thruster-Packer=skillful jet pack Hardlight Shield=armor lock but you are not invincible (vehicles still splat you, grenades still work on you, assassinations, shot from behind)

Drive it home like a nail

The thruster is just as it sounds, a thruster pack on your back. It is not a jet-pack where you can fly into the air 60ft, it is simply something that will give you a like 2 second boost, or something along those lines. It will propel you forward, backward, left or right but not up. So far it seems like it will be a strafing tool rather than a nooby glitch tool.

Alright, I am literally jacking this thread from another very reputable website. We are getting more insight about changes since E3 multiplayer built. DominoTheory & Mastrbiggy stated via twitter: Overshield invincibility is gone in newest build, Carbine a tad nerfed, and Pistol has unknown changes. Thruster also goes to 3rd person view as their way of balancing it in the newest build. Promethean vision nerfed. Promethean grenade = Emp field stays for a few seconds. The radius is similar to that of a plasma grenade explosion. PV has longer recharge time and shorter usage time PP DOES stun/disable vehicles I'll update this article if anything else is added. Do note these changes aren't at SDCC, but at the 343i offices. Thanks againDominoTheory & Mastrbiggy -All Credit to the Halo Council

I think we can trust 343i to have their internal beta because the way it has sounded so far is that they are bringing in tons of top tier players/glitchers/etc. to check out everything in the game.

The likelihood of Halo 4 not being on Pro Circuit in the future is low as 343 talked about the customs being made so that you can literally make the game your own if you want. They actually specifically stated, "MLG Players" when speaking of it.

The more I surf this forum the more I want Halo 4 in my hands right now.

Never been a fan of flaming helmets, it makes it too easy for people to headshot me in MLG.

Whachutalkinbout Willis?

Yes, I would love to have MLG customs as I am hosting one tonight actually. :3

Wow, I never even noticed that until you brought it up. Haha, good post man.
