You ever wanted to t-bag an enemy with a mech?.......halo 4 -_-

[daveman247]

I don't know why but the Mantis didn't feel Halo like (no I think it ok they added a mech suit in the universe). I mean I don't think the Mantis overall design had match with the rest of the UNSC stuff other than the colour.

Gonna have to agree there, the marine stuff was always chunky. This isnt. Still cool though.

OT: Halo 4 is awesome, teabagging mechs are awesome. Looks good to me. Theres nothing better than a good old victory teabag.

A hover-tank could not hold its ground, due to a lack of friction. Gunfire would send it reeling.

Counter-jets Or an anchor of some sort.[/quote]

Or anti-gravity tech. Works just fine with the Covenant Ghost/Wraith/Spectre/Revenant. Or we could always design it like the Knightmare (No I didn't spell that wrong) from Code Geass.

Note the wheels attached to the back of its ankles.

Ooh! Valhalla is back!

On a slight side-note, how can Forerunner worlds have metamorphic or sedimentary rock types? Ringworlds surely don't have any kind of plate tectonics, let alone a functioning rock cycle.

I dunno, if the Forerunners can give them a complete biosphere I wouldn't put it past them.

Counter-jets would make its fuel economy even more abysmal.
It already takes constant power to hover.
An anchor would be a ***** to use in the heat of battle.

Teabagging started as a douchebag move, but now it's a classic staple of the Halo-playing experience. I feel like it's more playful than anything anymore.

I think by that point we would have solved the fuel problem

I'm with Smash here. This doesn't really make the multiplayer look any better to me, and since that's all they're turning Halo into, I'm keeping my hopes low for this game

-Puts heavy focus on the campaign in Halo 4 more so then Bungie did before.
-Says it's turning into Multiplayer focused.

Logic..?

What people say they're going to do and what they actually do are often very different

And because of that, they must be focusing more on Multiplayer right?

Because of how much effort has been shown and based on all the previews, that they're doing a great job and putting a lot more story into it. More story then Bungie is, they got Spartan Ops which continues the Single-players story over the weeks, and then Multiplayer itself is part of the Spartan-IV training for Spartan-Ops.

So yeah, they're putting more into the story, and more into the Single-player by not only making it more open, and putting a lot more into it from the expanded universe then ever before. Lots of companies Tell and show, 343i so far has been all Show and Tell, granted in one of the most recent previews they couldn't give story specifics (the previewers saw what happened but couldn't say), because of spoilers but across the board they have all said it's just amazing what they're doing.

But I guess they just talk, and all of the previewers are probably paid. Fun to be cynical!

You seem to be taking my original point personally. Is there a reason it got you all riled up?

Because it just seems like Halo just gets so much fucking hate, you spout it like a fact that they're making it more multiplayer oriented but it's just not true. There is no evidence to say they're making it more so, only evidence against that.

Plus I am watching Breaking Bad and it's sort of making me feel mixed emotions on things.

 

[Vigormortis]

Why wasn't this a thing before?!

Halo has been known to introduce wonderful things to the FPS genre...

Tea-bagging is part of FPS culture. Now being able to do it in a vehicle makes you wonder why this didn't exist before.

Halo didn't introduce "tea-bagging" to gaming culture. That extraordinarily childish maneuver has been around long before Halo came around. Halo simply introduced it to a larger audience.

Tea-bagging in a vehicle has also been around for quite some time. I used to see it quite often in MechAssault 2.

I'd often see someone, after just destroying another mech, walk over to the spot with theirs and hop out of the mech. In so doing, the mech would go through the kneeling animation. I.E. looking like it was tea-bagging.

==============================

On topic:

I'm finding myself feeling more and more apathetic towards Halo 4. After seeing the fucking awful way 343 "upgraded" CE for the HD remake, I've little confidence in their ability to craft an entire game from scratch.

And this blatantly pandering trailer doesn't help.

[edit]
Don't get me wrong. There are a few games within the Halo series that I really really love. However, even as a fan of the series, I have to say that Halo didn't really introduce much of anything to the FPS genre.

It was mostly iterative. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, it's just that Halo's never really been that "revolutionary".

Fair enough, I guess we'll find out in a month or so. And despite my cynicism I'll probably play the shit out of it opening weekend until my skin is bleached white

Well that is good, and yeah now that I finished the season off of Breaking Bad I suddenly feel a bit happier then I did before.

 

[Leoofmoon]

Are you kidding me? were T-baging people with a multai-million dollar military mech. Im gonna be doing this ALOT in Halo 4. XD

Why the hell did they just reskin vallhalla? I am all for visual re-imaginings and spiritual successors, but seriously? This type of lazy half assed attitude towards mapmaking is one of the things the pissed me off about Halo: Reach, I guess 343 is keeping the tradition going.

Also, the mech does look awesome.

Um... Because they wanted to have 1 remake map in Halo 4 and decided on Valhalla, since all Halo games have at least one remake map. Also Halo: Reach was lazy because all of it's maps were in the game's SP, where as all of Halo 4 maps are made for Multiplayer specific.

I don't see how this is lazy, every Halo game up to this point has had one remake/reskin.

Hell so we got 9 maps, 1 reskin, and then 3 new forge maps (not a reskin of Forge World), I don't see how that is lazy.

Four of the nine original maps were taken straight from Halo 2, three of them were made in forge world. Almost half of the starting maps were remakes. Seems pretty damn lazy to me.

I am talking about Halo 4, which has no Halo 2 maps in it at all.

Goddamn it 343, if you're going to pay homage to the Marauder suits at least do it right! I'm not seeing any steel-apes here .

Teabagging started as a douchebag move, but now it's a classic staple of the Halo-playing experience. I feel like it's more playful than anything anymore.

Hell, whenever I play people just crouch once or twice -not even on me- and just walk off. Pick it up guys, I'm not feeling the love here.
