Forerunner: The Most Overpowered Weapon Class in Halo 4?

Posted on by

forerunner-arsenal

I bring to you a Halo 4 video by a friend of mine, H3AsiiM. He is discussing whether or not the weapons that fall into the Forerunner arsenal are “Overpowered” (“OP“). He addresses the weapons that appear via ordnance drops and those available for loadout customization. In the gameplay he is using a full Forerunner loadout.

What are your thoughts? Should other weapons be buffed up, or have the forerunner weapons altered?

The boltshot alone is a hot topic right now. What are your thoughts on the Boltshot? I’m personally fine with where it stands currently, but I’m not opposed to having the Boltshot patched in some fashion.

Leave your thoughts on H3AsiiM‘s video!

Halo 4 Let’s Play – The End, Welcome Home John

Posted on by

Here it is, the final mission in Halo 4’s Campaign, Midnight, and the Epilogue for Halo 4. This can only mean one thing, that my let’s play/play-through/walkthrough of Halo 4’s Campaign is unfortunately over with.

For those who don’t know, I was recording myself playing the campaign with no prior knowledge, on Normal difficulty, with a webcam to record my reactions. It’s was meant to be a fun, entertaining, and casual series on my channel.

As a result, you can see my reactions to the final scene in Halo 4 between Master Chief and Cortana, over the incredible sad but amazing soundtrack entitled “Green and Blue” (evidently, for a reason).

What were your reactions to the final scene with Master Chief and Cortana? What about the Didact, do you believe he is gone?

Halo 4 Playlist Rotation Discussion – My One Dislike About Halo 4

Posted on by

halo-4-problem-playlists-thumbnail

So as we have all noticed, that Halo 4 has featured rotating playlists every week. With the announcement of a playlist in the Halo Waypoint bulletin on a Thursday or Friday and then implementing the playlist on the following Monday along with other tweaks and minor changes to the multiplayer.

I like the idea of rotating playlists, but I find the time period of 1 week to be to short to prove the playlists popularity (at least fairly). Some would prefer to have all playlists available now and have them stay, but that would require more resources on 343’s part.

What are your thoughts?

PS. Yes there are other issues with the game that the community is very vocal about, but I for one am not going to fault 343 Industries for features they have promises to work on. I am happily awaiting the arrival of the file share system and CSR ranks, both are items that should hopefully show major improvements after studying the game post-release.

As the title says, this is a tutorial on how to fly a pelican on the mission Reclaimer (the one with the mammoth). The glitch has been updated and is no longer as difficult and now only requires 2 players to do so.

Thanks to ForgeWorldMaps and SomeFilthyCasuals for providing this video tutorial.

So try it out and I hope you enjoyed,

Halo-4-Top-5-Plays

Here it is my first ever Top 5 series. I hope you guys enjoy! Feedback would be greatly appreciated and as always I’m looking for more clips so submit them to the link here.

I’m trying to make my Top 5 series exciting and entertaining by making my own style. I will occasionally let clips speak for themselves, but sometimes that can be boring to watch without some sort of commentary over top as many times people don’t notice everything at first glance.

Miniature Banshee Glitch in Halo 4!

Posted on by

So my friend ForgeWorldMaps is here showing us how to get the Mini Banshee Easter egg on the mission Composer in Halo 4’s Campaign. It’s similar to the miniature Covenant Easter egg in Spartan Ops. It’s a fully working banshee just super small, and it makes Master Chief look like he is flying like superman.

He also shows us how to get out of the map and enjoy flying it within the amazing Halo 4 sky box.

Halo 4 News – 2 New Armor Abilities?! Teleport + Hacker

Posted on by

According to many reports within the Halo community, 2 armor abilities have been found deep within the code of the game.

These two are being called “Teleport” and “Hacker”. With teleport acting similar to the Promethean Knights ability to teleport, “bending time and space“, to different areas. And Hacker having the ability to disable the usage of an enemies armor ability (i.e. stop a jet pack, stop the usage of active camo, etc…)

It is unknown at this time whether these abilities are new or old bits of code. They may appear in future updates or in Halo 5 or Halo 6. What is known is that 343 did say in an interview a while ago talking about a potential teleportation armor ability similar to the Promethean Knights ability to teleport. But that has since been scrapped. So perhaps these are rejected ideas that still partially exist in the games code.

What are your thoughts?
