I use either GBP or IW, I like the bit of difference they add to the game. Its also not hard to ignore them on other people, especially since youre spending most of your time killing them lol

I have a feeling the new trilogy is going to mirror the original trilogy. The begining is already a mirror of CE, opening from a cryo tube, crash landing on an unknown world, and facing 2 threats. My guess is that the Didact/prometheans will play the role of the oracle/sentinels from the original trilogy. But unlike the flood, the Prometheans will start as the bad guys and end up as allies. The covie will remain bad. And I dont think humans would not support the Chief, he is the MC and they all know who he is, they could care less what he is, his actions in the war made him a hero. if 343i really is mirroring the original trilogy, than they have a golden trilogy coming

That or else he is just a very angry Didact...bad Didact bad!!

From the info we are slowly getting, it would seem more that the Prometheans are protecting some sort fo ancient weapon, whatever the weapon is. And that the only reason they are seen attacking Chief is because they think he is trying to get the weapon, which the covenant have already been confirmed to be doing.

Actually it was confirmed yesterday in the new OXM that 'Storm' is the designation of the splinter group that still follows the prophets teachings who are on Requiem looking for an ancient weapon. 'Storm' is not a class designation like Zealot or Chieftan

Reach Hazop was cool...the new Hazop looks pretty interesting though personally. Looks like it is really meant to be in hazardous environments

Bloom makes sense high rof weapons, but for the dmr, carbine, sniper, pistol and to an extent the br there should not be bloom, or as extreme as in reach.

I agree that Chief is a ba and his being a Spartan II makes a difference, but still being a spartan and wearing Mk armor will dissolve a certain amount of fall damage. I agree that Reach fall damage was extreme, if it is tuned down a bit it will make sense.

I agree....the default armor finally looks better than some of the new armor

Right but Chief did not have a re-entry unit and yes his suit locked up and he was unconscious, but he still survived the fall. So if he can survive a fall of that degree, than a Spartan can survive the fall from a building of some sort. I still think there needs to be some consequence for fall damage, not as much as in Reach, especially since there is no health.

I am just excited to see where Halo 4 takes us...hopefully 343i stays within canon lol

Exactly...so I think if both of them can survive and with Noble 6 being inferior to Chief, than there should not be AS much fall damage. But there still needs to be some consequence for jumping off a tall building lol

@Victory Element: Didnt Chief fall from space through Earth's orbit into the jungle in Halo 3 and survive?

Personally the Venator/Raptor combo is not very good looking. Even the Hazop armor is a little weird looking. But I like the CIO and Gunginir and other armors seen so far. The Inclusion of skins is also cool and some look pretty sweet. I really like the pulse and web skins

yeah....due to 343i being so hush hush about everything at the moment, the bits that Frankie and the team have talked about in regards to ranks etc. have become confusing to try and explain lol.

I really think the Covie are the main enemies again. 343i is taking Halo back to its roots with Halo 4, everything is mirroring Halo CE at his point so who knows. it would be interesting to see if the Didact uses the Infinty in some master scheme.

Well seeing as the Prometheans are protecting an ancient weapon, maybe some are designated by their duties by different colors? Or maybe there are just different ranks for each class. All of the Covenant forces with the exception of drones and hunters have different colors based on their ranks. So maybe the blue are lesser rank and orange higher rank?

Most likely either guy that plays him at the end of the series when Lasky is old will voice him in the agme, or someone else will voice him. Green is too oyung to voice a grown Lasky.

Ahh you are correct Ryu, let me explain, Frankie stated at ComicCon with the lead of the War Gsmes, that there is going to be a 1-50 'esque' system, it may not be numbers, it may be symbols or titles, etc. but there will be a system that in some sort of way can be associated with the old school 1-50 system of Halo 3. He also stated that only you the player can see your own Rank. I should have clarified about the xp/Sp differences, you are also correct Ryu that as you play you gain Xp, similar to cR from Reach. and as you level up you earn Spartan Points to put towards weapons, armor, skins, loadouts etc.

In the latest OXM article on Halo 4, it is confirmed that the Covenant on Requiem are a splinter faction that still follows the beliefs of the Propghets. It also says that the Prometheans are protecting an ancient weapon, the same weapon the Covenant are looking for. So perhaps the Prometheans start as an enemy, but join with the Chief to stop the Covenant? http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/8350/article/halo-4-oxm-feature-sheds-light-on-rogue-covenant-faction/ What are your thoughts?

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but according to the new OXM article on Halo 4, the Covenant force on Requiem have been confirmed as a splinter faction that still follows the beliefs of the Prophets. Also the Prometheans may not be the enemy throughout the entirety of the game, in the same article it states that the Prometheans are protecting an ancient weapon that the Covenant are also looking for. So they may start bad and then join with Chief to stop the Covenant.

Yep from the info we can gather, nanotech pretty much answers everything lol

The new ranking system of Halo 4 is indeed a hybrid of Reach and Halo 3. There will be a rank for ranked play lists, and an overall title of sorts that you earn from spartan points (xp/cR). So i could be a 45 but only a Field Marshal, while there could be a 40 who is an Inheritor. Both will please everyone I think. If you play ranked you will have a rank, if you play social you can use your title as a judge.

it wont be as much of an issue in Halo 4, 343i already stated that there is going to be a drop in/out system. So if people quit, their spot will be filled by someone else. So no more 1v6 games. The teams will refill and continue on. Also if people do quit, just submit a player review that they quit.

I like the new armor looks for the most part. Halo CE was groundbreakeing in pushing the scifi barrier of a FPS, and I think the new armor is really taking Halo back to pusing that barrier. I like most of the armor designs.
