New Halo 4 MP info from PAX (MORE NEW VIDS)

Weapons and Vehicles

-boltshot confirmed as secondary, has an overcharge (kind of like shotgun blast), shoots, bolts, and shotgun blast ability charges similar to Railgun
-Concussion rifle is in! (hasnt been seen in action though :frowning: )
-BEAM RIFLE IS BACK
-Binary rifle is in (new promethean sniper, 2 rounds a clip, seemed like it was a one shot to kill in the video i posted at the bottom).
-Light rifle seems very accurate when scoped, not so much from the hip
-banshee evades are slower
-Gauss hog is back
-Suppressor seen in Naked ELi’s vid! seems like a rifle version of the SMG!
-Needle rifle pretty much confirmed out (not available as a starter, and all starters are here)

NEW ARMOUR MODS

-Dexterity: Faster reloads and weapon swaps
-Expolosives: Your explosives are weaker, but have a larger balst radius
-Ordinance Priority: get ordanance drops more frequently

Armour Abilities

-Autosentry is a stationary bot that shoots at enemies, fairly powerful. Vulnerable while deploying. Lasts about 30 sec, easily destroyed.
-Jetpack less thrust and duration, slower, and cant go as high.
-PV has the same effect, but recharges much slower, and can be used for a shorter period
-Camo seems similar, but it MAY not have a radar jammer anymore, and also, has shorter duration?
-Thruster pack makes you go Third person now

CTF

-Cannot drop the flag, as well as auto pick up.
-When you have the flag, i seems like you move at a normal speed (not slower like in the older games)

Videos

-Bravo MLG full match on exile
-Binary Rifle Gameplay
-Naked Eli Gameplay (beam rifle, suppressor, and MORE)

Damn. Thanks for the updates though.

I pretty much knew all of this already…

I like how all of the AA’s resemble mods.

Wall hack
Invisible hack
Teleport hack
Fly hack

> :frowning:

agrees to sad facing… jetpack and camo… sigh.

Is the jetpack like reach’s or the one in 3’s that the brutes used?

Jetpack is in! Pre-order canceled!

/sarcasm

but overall i’m not bothered by it or active camo.

Thanks for that info.

Hearing that PV now has a slower recharge and can be used for a shorter period of time is great.

I hope Jet Pack is just a short thrust to help you get to a little bit higher distance.
And hopefully they tweaked camo a lot. Radar jamming was pointless.

What.

> Is the jetpack like reach’s or 3’s?

There was no jetpack in Halo 3…

Unless you’re counting that jump pack thing the Brutes had.

Pretty bummed about jet pack…

What Indeed.

OT: I am quite happy the jetpack is back. I seriously dont see why there be so much hatred towards it.

Yes i was.

> -jetpack is in :frowning:

It better be nerfed…

> -pistol reloads fast

I’m pretty sure this was already stated

> -boltshot confirmed as secondary

I thought that would be the case

> -Camo is an AA, similar to reaches :frowning:

:confused:

> -Orb grenade is called a pulse grenade

That sounds logical

> -indivual armour pieces have skins

That’s pretty damn cool

> -PV has the same effect, but recharges much slower, and can be used for a shorter period

Ah, so this is the nerf

What’s the big deal about jetpacks?

You can kill those noobs easily and they’re fun for in creative made custom games. Plus there probably are orbs that we can pick up that makes us over-shield or invivisible. Maybe not in MM, but in forge and customs.

We’ll see.

What’s the teleport Hack? Never knew they added a Tele AA.

Which the Elites had in Reach. They’re call jump packs for a reason.

I’m still curious as to whether or not there will be a counter to Promethean Vision besides that one specialization where only your outline shows up.
