The Halo Bulletin: 2.15.12

Two guys, one rainbow.

Awesome thanks again.

Great now all I can think about is the new HUD…Can’t wait to see what you guys have come up with.

I loved this bulletin. Short but sweet.
I must go and digest the info now.

Did anyone notice the thruster pack on the MC figure?Does that mean there could be Armor abilities?

*Slow clap

Congrats. There is less filler than I expected in this.

Still, hype-less.

Nice look to the Chief. He looks more mobile and agile. Kinda like how Bruce Wayne had Fox make him a more mobile Batsuit.

I dig it.

> Did anyone notice the thruster pack on the MC figure?Does that mean there will be jetpacks?

Thruster packs are NOT jetpacks.

Thruster packs are used to allow for a safe landing when in zero gravity, Noble Six used one to gain re-entry safely into Reach’s atmosphere and land safely, Chief used the built-in thrusters on his suit in the Halo 4 teaser.

Anyways, another sweet Bulletin, although, I am deeply saddened by the lack of cat pictures.

BRACE YOURSELVES.

The flood of “OMG NO HALO 4 INFORMATION AGAIN!!!” should be coming soon…

Great Bulletin, per usual. I’m really enjoying the OHIs! I wonder what those HUD changes are looking like…

My only concern is making you feel “Weighty”. I really hope that doesn’t translate to “low jump height”.

I had pretty much the exact same thoughts. :slight_smile:

“Putting on your helmet should feel like powering up an F-15E”

My favorite part.

Tomcats and Hornets are cooler. :stuck_out_tongue:

This this this this this this this.

Don’t do this. Please. Don’t limit our default movement traits. Please. The one thing I felt that Halo 4 couldn’t get wrong was movement, considering we’ll be the chief again. I hate Reach’s movement and physics - everything about them.

Please, don’t make us slow chunky-monkeys like in Reach… ):

This made me giggle for some reason.

> As we develop the visual ID, the Chief’s current head-tilt is in an interesting territory where he’s typically looking up into the danger that he needs to conquer, but the camera tilt is potentially posing a question. Is he looking up, or is the camera tilted so that he’s actually looking down?

“To give you that feeling, we have represented that weight with player physics, <mark>without interrupting crosshair and shooting accuracy</mark>.”

Does anyone else interpret that as “no reticle bloom in Halo 4”?

meh… I will leave it at meh… All I’m saying is I missed some of my Penguins game for this. -_-

The lack of audio director and possible audio director assets is what I’m not happy about. (I know it was said to be within the next couple weeks)

The HUD is different in a more Super Soldier type way. I guess that’s cool but I really don’t need to know that. I’d rather be shown what it looks like. So far we know a lot about how this game is awesome but we know nothing about this game. Teased again. I’d rather have no information than the “info” were getting.

I’m too interested in the development of this game. I need to get a new hobby. lol

Thanks again Angel.

Great minds think alike I have a feeling they might make the hud like the one in Halo Legends or from the books. if they did that would be amazing !

This was my favourite Bulletin yet! Lots of really interesting information. Awesome work as usual!

> My only concern is making you feel “Weighty”. I really hope that doesn’t translate to “low jump height”.

Something to keep in mind is that I was talking about the artistic design of the Master Chief’s physical appearance.

And also, this. :slight_smile:

> We knew he needed to be understood as a nimble yet heavy superhero.

It describes Chief perfectly though.

The F-15E Strike Eagle is an all-weather multirole fighter,
