Greetings Reclaimers! It is with great pleasure that we (and by we, I mean Snickerdoodle and I) come to you today bearing excellent news. As you may or may not (but totally should) know, PAX, otherwise known as the Penny Arcade Expo, is beginning next friday. While there will certainly be some of the hottest games of the holiday season there, none is more prevalent in our minds as Halo 4, and we’re all itching to have some of our questions answered.
While we will certainly be reporting our escapades with you through the forums and on twitter, Snickerdoodle and I have been afforded a very unique opportunity: we get to interview Frankie. Yes. That Frankie. Now, bs angel asked us to compile a list of questions we’d like to ask him in advance, so away we went with our… inspired suggestions. Some of our most interesting responses included:
“how on earth did you become so handsome?”
“I can haz recon?”
“How would you say that your undisputed seminal work compares to those of Picasso, Cezanne, Duchamp, or any of the most important artists of our age?”
“Could you please explain Dongblaining”
She quickly offered another suggestion based on the quality (or lack thereof) of our proposed queries. So what does this have to do with you?
EVERYTHING.
We have lots of questions, sure, but we’ll be there in person to ask them on our own time, and since many of you will be unable to attend PAX to ask them, we’re going to do it for you. If you want a question asked, just post it in this thread, then, Snickerdoodle and I will sift through them all this week and choose some of the best and most interesting to lob in Frankie’s general direction. Hopefully as soon as possible after said interview, we’ll have (once again, hopefully) the video posted for you all to enjoy, and to laugh at us since we don’t look like how you think we look (My hair isn’t even that color, silly!). I we run into technical difficulties, or if the video is unusable, we will at least have an audio version and/or transcript of the interview posted here.
So anyway, now that you know what we need from you, have at it! What do you want to ask Frankie?!

I’m sorry, was that inappropriate to ask on a live feed? I regret nothing!
Can you please tell us more about the War Games trueskill system, like whether or not there will be a skill rank of any kind visible to other players besides the XP level “ranks”?

I know what snickerdoodle looks like. >:D
As for my question, I’m wondering whether we will have the option to place invisible barriers in Forge! I’m also curious as to the extent of customization options in Custom Games and Forge.
NO WAIT! My real question is: Will there be ODST armor in Halo 4, and if so, will it be easily attainable? Hopefully it’s not an exclusive…
I would appreciate both questions answered, but that’s rather unlikely.
OMG! I just thought of a third question regarding Forge! It’s not as important as the ODST question, but it’s still interesting. Will there be some sort of folder system to organize Forge maps and gametypes? Once you get over 100 Forge World maps in Reach, for example, the menu loads very slowly and is prone to glitches that randomly copy and delete maps. It’s also just difficult to find what you want in the menu.
What can old school and competitive players expect from the “classic/barebones” playlist that will be in matchmaking as far as no sprint, maps, and sandbox goes? Will weapons be on the map or will they be loadouts?
If the OP and this thread are any indication, and all the questions you guys take have nothing to do with actual War Games gameplay, “Rustled” will likely be the status of my Jimmies.
