No plans for Dedicated servers but silky smooth net-code.
Matchmaking revolving around skill but doesn’t harm non-experience, or new players
Forge is in the game
No Duel Wielding (How they came to the conclusion)
There could be more but these were the things that were said in the Podcast.
JUST downloaded this. Gonna listen to see what’s up and if there are any further clarifications. On a side note I read HaloGAF a lot and it’s absolutely hilarious watching them meltdown in a frenzy to this! It’s like the hyperbole brigade. :-p
I haven’t the patience, got a summary of the important stuff?
> I haven’t the patience, got a summary of the important stuff?
Forge, Armor, Spartan Ops, etc. I might make a summary when I’m done listening.
Nothing that concerned me was answered.
I thought it was funny that Matt Miller and Bryan Vore told Josh Holmes that they have gotten letters comparing Halo 4 to CoD or Battlefield and asked him if he’s seen that sort of thing on Waypoint like they didn’t know.

Powers that be, if I hear (or read) another Halo 4 is trying to be like CoD reference I may get violent. It may read like it on paper but I swear it won’t play anything like it.
Daily and Weekly Challenges? Hopefully it doesn’t mean the return of the cR system. (I do realize that it is confirmed that they aren’t using the Reach system, but it could be something similar). This is by far my only concern about Halo 4, other then that, great work 343i.

Well, judging by Spartan Points (Placeholder), I’m assuming so. I thought the challenges were a nice touch to add challenge and get rewarded.
