Mini Q&A by David Ellis, NeoGAF forum, 9 Jun 2012

I was a little disappointed there wasn't more experimentation with weapons, but some folks do love sticking with one weapon.

Also, I'm shocked more of them wern't using thruster pack, but I suppose they just love shiny lights. :)

It's definitely a YMMV sort of ability. It's super useful against players that don't use radar. If you're going against quality competition the delta of effectiveness (in my experience) shrinks.

There are plenty of sub-items (weapons, AA, mods) in the sandbox left to reveal, but what we showed at E3 are the main load out customizations options.

Not sure if we're going any more specific on Majestic and Crimson right now, but rest assured there's a good reason they both exist.

I'm stuck on a flight for the next hour or so of you want to keep asking questions. Can't answer everything, but I'll do my best to offer clarification and clear up any lingering confusion.

My favorite Halo 4 mutiplay moment So far involved me tracking someone down sun ramp on Haven, jumping down to bottom level, pivoting 180 degrees during the fall then thruster packing toward him and assassination all in one fluid motion. In that moment, I was mostdefintielya Spartan.


Not sure how much each mission will take up they'll be delivered via Xbox Live each week.

Wouldn't want to put a number on it,but as we've said before, the campaign is playable from beginning to end. Over the next several months we'll pass content comp,steamed polish the entire package to a sparkling sheen.

Last time I checked, it was in.

That was actually something I was excited to get feedback from players on during E3.

We had people in the office gathering the mountains of feedback. While not every thing mentioned will be changed, we take these things very seriously.

There's definitely a reason the teams have names, but if I spilled all the beans about that right now, Frank might deliver a vicious Scottish roundhouse to me when I get back to the office.

Ragarding center text pop-ups I honestly don't even notice them 90% of the time when playing matches. I think it's something that's much more magnified when watch someone else play the game. Remember we've saida big component of your player experience in Hal 4 is customization so take that however you want.

We'll have more info on CTFin Halo 4 in the near future.

The banshee has received a lot of love from our vehicle designers and has definitely been altered from Halo: Reach.

Covie carbine and Storm Rifle (formerly assault carbine)are currently god-tier.

Our amazing sandbox designers are definitely tweaking the balance based on how people are actuall yusing weapons, not just how they say they use them. :)

Would love to do a piece on Cortana Web sometime. Its truly an amazing system.

:)

There have been changes made to vehicle health from Reach, but can't really go into specifics at the moment.

There are lots of new weapons we haven't shown yet. One of the weapons designers was showing me one in particular before I came down for E3 and I can say you've never seen anything quite like this one in Halo before. Awesome stuff.

Yes.

There's definitely a reason for this, but if I told you why...roundhouses would be delivered.

It's playable with any combination of 1-4 players.

We're going to have a certain ammount finished before we ship.

Ok, I gott shut down as we're about to land.

Thanks all.
