How the hell do you view the H4 Terminals on Waypoint? Where?
I’m the only person the uses the goddamn Carbine =/
- So what is the difference between the various rifles? I mostly use the dmr because it feels “right” to me.
- What is up with the thrust pack? Is it really only like…a tiny burst? Even when I hold the button down its like a 4 foot dash. Does it least have some invincibility or something:?
- How many maps are in this game? I swear I keep getting the same 3 or 4 maps every time.
- Does anyone ever take the grenades ordinance?
Watched the terminal vids, consider my mind blown, those were cool.
Completed campaign, last level is not fun on Legendary and no ammo >_<, thank goodness I had hologram so I could use assassinations.
I need the soundtrack, love the end credits theme. Starts off as a variation of an Halo 2 track then goes into this epic orchestral piece with sweeping strings and trumpets. There’s a cutscene at the end, so be careful not to skip it.
When you enter way point, press left so it highlights your spartan profile, select using A, then scroll to the right to highlight the box labelled Campaign, press left to view terminals.
Thrust pack loses it’s charm after you unlock more shit.
I’m about to max out the splatter commendation for that green visor. So hype.
Thruster Pack is the thinking man’s AA. It allows you to burst in any direction about as fast as a sprint without having to face that direction. It’s great for lengthening your life span against a person with shotgun, getting away from a ghost/rocket/grenade, quickly getting into a doorway, etc. I go commando a lot in Halo (meaning I don’t stick with my teammates, I stay mobile and capitalize on good opportunities) and it’s the best thing ever for me. I used Promethean Vision and Hardlight Shield for a bit, but neither really worked for my playstyle as well as Thruster Pack does. I’ve gotten away from countless skirmishes either for a better position or to get away from death and it’s all because of Thruster Pack. It’s the tits.
And then there’s the fact that you can use it to propel yourself in any direction while in the air. Works like a charm on conservative snipers.
My favourite AA so far is hologram. It’s so much better than how it was in Reach. You can use it to distract an enemy while you make a quick getaway, draw some fire away from you in a 1v1 or to put people in the perfect position for an assassination. I’ve been thinking about switching to PV though because everyone’s saying that it’s broken and I am a tier whore.
Watched the extended Forward Unto Dawn on the Limited Edition, where they have it as a 90 minute movie. Pretty solid, better than I thought it would be. LOL at High Expectations Asian Father though. “Your academic scores are good. Why combat scores SUCK???”
Lol, if only he practiced more Kung-fu (/racist)
DOUBLE POOOOOOOOSSSSSSST!!!
So, lots of more stuff to unlock.
Got the splatter Master emblem locked but visible. Its basically the symbol.
Gonna run 3 nades plus dmg and restock nades plus dmg
Also, yall pussy for not running AR and pistol,
halo1 ftw, hahaha
Pistol is tricky, YOU CAN 3 shot ppl… but its weird.
I’ve decided to quit Halo online until 343i patches in a good connection only option. I can put up with some lag in 1v1 fighting games but not in an FPS.
What lag? It’s your AOL connection. Yummmmy tears.
My connection’s fine. I’m just getting matched up with people on different continents, that’s the problem.
Haven’t had a single issue with lag, usually Halo has some of the best match making.
Does the audio seem lagged to anyone?? I noticed this during the pre launch streams but I thought it was just the stream, which it is not.
Damn, that Forward Unto Dawn had some cool stuff, I was kind of worried about live action Halo feeling a bit goofy, but even with only a $10 million budget, they pulled most of it off nicely. My favorite bit was the ending where…
[spoiler=] Master Chief’s closest teammates in the novels, Fred and Kelly, Spartans 104 and 87 make an appearance and take off their helmets. Shit was cool, get to see their augmented eyes. Sullivan asks them how old they are, and they don’t answer, but the story is set in 2525, which puts MC, Fred and Kelly at roughly the age of 14-15 at the time of the story. So they’re recently augmented, just got their MJOLNIR armor recently. Very cool[/spoiler]
They’re bringing out a DVD/BR complete version of it in December.
Surprised at the amount of content Waypoint has now, haven’t looked at it really since I finished Anniversary. Motion comic adaptations of the comic/Evolutions stuff was pretty slick.
Haven’t visited waypoint since Reach first came out, it’s changed a lot. Yeh Forwar Unto Dawn was damn good, CGI in Halo4 is superb as well. If they don’t make a live action movie they should at least make a feature length CGI.
Halo 4 Ending Spoilers
Spoiler
Master Chief takes off his helmet but we only see his eyes, his eyebrows are grey, how old is roughly now??
@Furious One
Chief’s 46 at the time of Halo 4, 2557, though they’ve mentioned he’s spent roughly 4 years in cryo sleep, and the augmentation stuff slows his aging process. Born in 2511, conscripted in 2517, augmented and fitted with the armor in 2525.
Other surviving Spartan II info if interested
Spoiler
058-Linda, active as of 2553
087-Kelly, active as of 2553
104-Fred, active as of 2553
These three are with Chief as his main teammates throughout the books, it would be SWEET to see them get actual game appearances in Halo 5 if the events shift to Earth
These three are the Spartans featured in Halo Wars on the Spirit of Fire, whereabouts unknown
042-Douglas
092-Jerome
130-Alice
These three are Spartan Gray Team, missing in action since 2551, but their job is running covert black ops missions into Covy territory, so it wasn’t unusual for them to disappear for years at a time.
006-Jai
111-Adriana
???-Mike
There’s also the Spartan Black Team, whose names and service numbers are never given.
It’d be interesting to see if 343 reconciles what’s up with the other Spartans down the line. Halo universe is getting BIG
Was Tyrone part of the black team?
I just beat campaign, I can’t believe what I just played.
[details=Spoiler]When Cortana Clones started grabbing the alien dickhead me and my co-op buddies couldn’t stop laughing. After thinking about it for a bit I now know where 343 wants to take this franchise.
