I wasn't able to tell by the end of the flight, how does the shock rifle actually work against vehicles? It seems like it's a random chance or some sort of build up maybe? One time one shot stunned one, the other time it took three.

Did they have any new music for this flight? How's the BTB? I tried playing some Reach BTB last night and it was pure pain even with AR starts. The maps are too drat big for 8v8 matches and the vehicles are overtuned.

12 v 12 sounds like it could fix the larger maps and make small map BTB into crazy chaos. I hope they fix the performance stuff. My PC is getting a little long in the tooth so I hope my 1070 doesn't chug too much. How does the enemy outline work compared to team colors? It looks a little too overwhelming visually that it defeats the purpose of showing off your custom colors. Something I would have gone with instead of outlines would be to change the color of the shield emitters on the armor. Instead of all the little blue glowies, make them blue team glowies and red team glowies. Killzone 2 and 3 did that and it was a really good way to pick out enemy targets in multiplayer.

I really hope you can turn teammate outlines off - its pretty jarring. Maybe squad only.

Playing more Competitive Halo 4 and I think 6v6 would be a good replacement for 4v4 games going forward. Having two extra players gives things more chaos.

Agreed on the chaos sentiment and yeah, they should just hide esports in a little category that's really tiny and hidden away so fun seeking people don't select it by accident. That sand map is good but feels way too big for 4v4.

New blog post about ranked and competitive play. In short, Ranked/Comp is different to Casual in the following ways: Starting weapon is BR (no secondary weapon like casual's magnum) No Motion Tracker No Grenade Hitmarkers Friendly Fire enabled Static spawn locations/intervals Modes are Slayer, CTF, Strongholds and Oddball https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0vHo4Nf3Fg&t=89s

So this means that friendly fire is never going to be a thing on social multiplayer? Is this the first confirmation of that or did I miss it the first time.

Does that imply there will not be ranked MM without BR start and no radar? That'd be a shame, I enjoy ranked modes but definitely am not interested in what they describe in that article.

One thing I hope they do is ramp up the physics on things before launch, you don't go flying nearly as much it feels like except for a grav hammer bonk

I forget where I saw it but there's a great clip of someone doing a flag run on the BTB map by throwing a fusion coil off the man cannon and grappling onto it to go flying across the entire map. Also I never knew you could use the sword to propel yourself into the air like they do in that competitive video posted above

PC features trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fax-YPAvuq0 One neat feature they mention that I haven't heard them mention before is that the PC version will let you set up dedicated LAN servers that can be connected to by consoles for old-school LAN parties. Also, according to an accompanying blog post, raytracing will be coming post-launch via AMD's solution so it won't be GeForce-exclusive.

Looks good. Still hoping that we get at least a little more information on how the Infinity got its rear end kicked by the Banished rather than starting in medias res and relying on more books to fill in the gaps. Again.

Cool, the new Cortana is…a dumbass? Game looks jank, but fun jank. Hoping we get a fair bit more environment variation than they’ve shown off though. I love the timberland look and it’s iconic and all, but the best thing about the setting of a Halo is that you can go from there to the desert to the tropics to the glaciers like nothing.

The structure of the campaign looks pretty interesting. Text from the Tacmap: quote:FOB Golf I wonder if Valor is a spendable currency or just an experience bar that accumulates. Wording implies the latter. Text from upgrades: quote:Grappleshot Will open-world Halo work? Hopefully. It doesn't look too big (which is good, sandbox games can wear out their welcome if they're samey and copypastey). I note the Tacmap says "Area Collectables" at the bottom, which suggests there's more than one playable region. So far we've just seen the pine forest.
