Out of all the clips they could have shown on conan...

Why would 343 choose such a pathetic clip to air on conan? The guy shooting could barely aim and it took him seven br shots to kill one guy. To make it worse the one guy he was firing at wasn’t even returning fire…

Out of all the clips they could have shown why did they choose that one? They had a chance there to assure the community that this game is going to be good and that everything will be ok.

If i was in charge of choosing a clip to play on conan I would have chosen the same spot but had one guy take down two guys with 8 br shots who were both firing at him but lost b/c of superior skill such as strafing… aiming… jumping… dodging bullets…

On the plus side the BR sound sounds pretty good to me. What do you guys think about this?

Longer kill-time = More time for Conan’s voice-thingy, which was the focus of the whole thing.

Haha, you have no idea how contracts, TV appearances, and advertising works. You just wanted to see MLG style combat.

4

yea in all honesty, this is Conans show…

5

So this is what this community has devolved to? Oh, I’m going to moan and -Yoink- and whine about the supposed skill of the players in the clip that they gave us. Oh noooo!!! How dare someone not have apparent skill!!

Seriously OP, grow the -Yoink- up. What did you expect that they were going to give us? Especially when the game is still in the Alpha Stages a good 7 months before its release. I’m so tired of reading things like this.

Why is this a big deal? So the guy wasn’t the greatest. The point was to show a Spartan Conan dying with some funny audio.

> On the plus side the BR sound sounds pretty good to me.

The BR was silenced so Conan’s voice could be heard. I think I read that Frankie posted that.

8

true i rewatched it and noticed how fast the acceleration was and how high the jump height was so I’m pretty psyched about the game just by watching the guy he was shooting jump around

9

The fact that he was not shooting back was to replicate the fact that Conan’s campaign character is a “coward”, “unable to fire his weapon”. Didn’t you realize his voiceover was also fitting for the Spartan’s death at the end? Why else do you think they would put THAT clip THERE.

It all makes sense.

OT EDIT: The clip was exciting as heck. Awesome base movement and strafe responsiveness. Didn’t expect that at all. I guess that’s what 343 meant in the Sparkast by Halo CE and Halo 3 elements. It’s the perfect mixture. The BR looks awesome too. So does the real-time shadow mapping. Can’t wait.

They could’ve just showed us more still pictures of the hanger bay and not even shown that. We should be thankful.

11

Im really hoping for a playlist on special occasions where all the injury voices are conan and andy sniveling. Id play that thing religiously :smiley:

12

Did you see the responsiveness of the strafe and the jump height? I thought it was an excellent clip.

13

It wasn’t meant to be informative it was meant to be satirical. The whole interview was practically satirical.

However even in a satirical clip some people can find useful information, did anyone listen close enough to see if the “Killing Spree” voice was Jeff Steitzer or not, I thought it sounded like him but I couldn’t tell.

Well at least we can edit the footage so the Halo 4 gameplay stuff can be watched without sitting thru Conan.

  1. 99.9 percent of people don’t care about a dude aiming.

  2. why would they spill all the beans on the conan show when E3 is about 6 weeks away?

I would like to see that whole conversation they had in the campaign, maybe as an IWHBYD conversation or something.

Jeff Steitzer is confirmed to voice for Halo 4 multiplayer announcer guy. Forgot where the post was, but he replied to some fan on Facebook saying he did some multiplayer stuff with 343 a week ago.

Alright cool, I don’t think I’ve said this in an internet forum before, but for now I’m going to take your word for it.

Why are you complaining? Why aren’t you excited to see the hitscan, the jump height, the accelerated movement, the new hud, and many more mechanics of the game? You should be pondering all of the possibilities. I saw the clip from the new Halo and was amazed that I was able to witness such beauty!

Why, why, why, why, why, are you acting so upset? This is a joyful moment!
