  1. Covie Carbine was my go to gun in Halo 3, even over the BR...I would win in a rifle fight with the carbine vs the BR any day fo the week. The Needler is pretty sweet too and looks awesome in Halo 4. I actually liked the Needle Rifle in Reach over the DMR too...Ill be using the carbine in Halo 4 as my primary for sure
  2. I dont think its as much of the bloom as it is the weapon spread. Bloom and weapon spread were crazy in Halo Reach, however in Halo 4 it looks like the spread and bloom have been balanced. Some weapons have more bloom with less spread like the Sniper, while others have less bloom and more spread like the AR. Overall though, as far as the bigger reticle is concerned...when playing and seeing a bigger reticle, you dont think about the spread and bloom as much. In Reach, there were small reticles but seeing the bloom and spread go beyond the reticle really annoyed people, now they cant see it. Its a mind game lol
  3. Arent there RvB easter eggs...in fact isnt there an achievement to find a RvB easter egg in Spartan Ops? Roses vs Violets Achievement: http://www.xbox360ac...t-Revealed.html As far as a tribute to Bungie..cool idea, but M$ and Bungie didnt really part on good terms, and M$ is all about the money so they probably wont put anything for Bungie....
  4. I kinda like the Breach and Last Stand look pretty cool. I only wish we could change waht weapons we held like the Turret, Rocket launcher, sniper etc.
  5. Hardlight shield looks good. Thruster pack seems sweet...combined with sprint, getting in and out of combat will be awesome. The suppressor lookspretty cool with its burst and full auto modes, but it seems rather weak.
  6. Haha we all knew the Didact was in..now whether or not he is the enemy that awakens is another story...
  7. Looks pretty sweet...although I think that Dominion could be used by boosters to just raise their KDR if they prolong the games. But still looks like a more fun version of Invasion. The rail gun looks pretty sweet...a couple of shots against a vehicle makes sense and one shot against an enemy works. The suppressor looks rather weak however...I like the fact that it has a burst mode and a full auto mode, but it seems rather weak.
  8. @tool: No kidding...thats what I stated in my first sentence, I also stated that because the Brute shot is out, it is the closest equivalent to the shotgun and scattershot. There are essentially a weapon for each faction (Rocket Launcher, Fuel Rod, Incineration Cannon...DMR/BR, Carbine, Light Rifle...Sniper, Beam Rifle, Binary Rifle...Shotgun, Concussion Rifle, Scattershot) get my point?
  9. Figured it was the diact since we saw the sphere zoom over MC's head in the trailers...Not too sure what I think about the new gametype...seems like an easy way to troll and boost kills.
  10. I agree...the Carbine looks beast! It was my go to gun in Halo 3, even over the BR...if you got god with the Carbine, you couldnt loose. The Carbine looks even better in Halo 4. Now the gun I am most excited about is the Needler...its about dang time it was as powerful as the Halo 2 needler!! The needler in Reach was a joke...the needler in Halo 4 looks amazing. Also gald the Covie Beam rifle (sniper) is back...the focus rifle was lame in Reach, thank goodness the Beam Rifle is back.
  11. No brutes so no brute shot. The Concussion rifle is the equivalent of the shotgun and scatter shot essentially in Halo 4. As far as in Reach...well the plasma launcher was more useless...the focus rifle was useless after the update...the concussion rifle was a good crowd control weapon, it was good against vehicles, and it was great against the sword or hammer. I personally love the concussion rifle on maps like countdown (small and balanced).
  12. It does ineded look pretty sweet, but I have a feeling that I wont buy another season of Spartan Ops after the first one I get with the LE. If there are achievements for every season...I will be pissed...because that would be Micro$oft fishing for more and more money. I would rather just have achievements for the first season to get everyone interested and call it good. Just have cheevos with the DLC map packs if thats how they want to do it...
  13. Haha maybe I was just seeing things...Ive spent all week working on my second thesis so I may be seeing things lol
  14. Halo 3's Banshee was great...it was powerful but not OP. It felt like an aerial advantage while also feeling vulnerable in the open sky. I do not think that the damage should be reduced by 70%, perhaps it should be reduced some indeed, but not that drastically. I do agree however that the tracking feature should be removed. If someone is truly skilled with the banshee, than they wont have a problem elading their shots anyways. From what I have seen on Halo 4 Exile gameplay, the tracking feature is still in the game, but it takes two hits against a tank to kill the tank. So it seems it is a bit less powerful.
  15. No brute shot in Halo 4, but according to Frank O'Connor, he feels that the new concussion rifle is similar to the brute shot in some ways
  16. Well just like with the Reach Limited and Legendary and the Halo 3 Legendary...the only ones left over post launch are the extras the stores received, or the ones no one picked up. Unless its a store that did not do pre-orders, there wont be any LE's being shipped post launch.
  17. If you stop the vid at 0:59, you see the UNSC symbol on the side of his helmet and on his right shoulder...I wonder if all of the symbols will appear on the side of the helmet now as well as the shoulder? I also noticed that the concussion rifle now bounces similar to the grenade launcher and has a similar reticle to the grenade launcher as well.
  18. The difference is that Nintendo intentionally only produces a small amount of consoles/units. They do that to drive up demand. The Black Ops 2 ones are for all consoles so they have a larger audience to aim for. The Halo 4 LE is onyl for the 360, so I am actually kind of surprised it did not sell out sooner.

    The SAW!

    Haha good point...oh well
  20. Here is the latest chart from VG Chartz, unfortunately it appears that Halo 4 is bieng slightly outpaced by CoD BO2 on Xbox... http://www.vgchartz.com/preorders/
  21. October is going to drive me nuts!! Thank goodness I only have 1 paper left...I am sooooo stoked for Halo 4. The title screen is really crisp and bold, looks veru user friendly, I am quite impressed.
  22. I like the option of putting your emblem on your gun. Choosing the loaction would be awesome lol

    The SAW!

    Haha couldnt be any worse than dino blasters lol I am down for SAW slayer
  24. pre-ordering from mightyape.co.nz is not the way to go...the games are region locked so you wouldnt be able to play Halo 4 unless you had a console from AUS or NZ etc. Yes you can still pre-order from best buy and walmart etc. but my point was that the biggest game retailer ceased pre-orders which means that it is indeed going to cease around the world soon. As I have previously stated and as The Director stated, the game is going to be platinum and it is going to go gold soon.
  25. I agree with Choot'em, a delay for the pelican and culture etc to be in the game would nt be the way to go. We already know that there are 2 more vehicles not shown yet. Frankie and BS Angel said that there are two more vehicles that will surprise everyone when Halo 4 launches. So perhaps it is the pelican in BTB, but I have a feeling it will be 2 Promethean vehicles.
