    It would be a classy way of settling disputes, like whenever Fyre tries to yell at people that flag throwing doesn't work yet they remain adamant that it does.

    So, I snapped at someone the other day, when we were playing infection. I got pissed off, for no real reason, at least, nothing related to the game and yelled at someone.

    I don't want to be the next badman, so whoever it was I snapped at (I think it was a newer guy named Darmack?) I'm sorry that I was such an asshole. I don't hold anything against you, and I hope you don't hold anything against me.

    Anyone notice in the Halo: Chess video, that the sword appears to be infinite again? But then has a charge bar under it, interesting.

    Isn't that how it works if you just turn on infinite ammo?

    Zombie swords for example.

    You guys reckon that the camo loadout is going to start with shotgun or DMR? Seems like it could go either way. I imagine all of them will have pistol as standard backup.

    Camo and a shotgun would be nice to have. Maybe the Plasma pistol as backup for some setups as well?

    I doubt that the load-outs will include OS/Camo, that would just end up breaking the balance of the game. Everybody spawning in with x2 shields/invisibility? Bad idea.

    And I'm hoping load-outs let you pick your own starting weapons. So sick of playing AR start Team Slayer. :x

    Is there a loadout that gives me a stack of land mines?

    Because that's what I want.

    Mines, brute shot, and an AR. That's all anyone should need.

    Except we already know that camo doesn't work the same way. It's strictly time based, and if you stand next to anyone with camo, your radar is jammed, telling you someone is camo'd nearby.

    Camo has been confirmed as an armor perk. Bungie said that they will have preset loadouts for their playlists, so camo is going to be in there. It's a bit early to call it overpowered when we don't know how well it works, how long it lasts, or how the cooldown compares to other armor perks.

    Also the time that you can be camo'd is based on how fast you are moving. Move quickly and it won't last as long. They also mentioned that it is easier to see an active camoed person if they are moving quickly.

    Edit: We don't know the status of mines. There won't be equipment, so mines would have to be an armor perk or some kind of gun we haven't seen yet.

    Armor Lock's EMP seems to be the closest thing to an offensive ability I've seen so far.

    Have I mentioned I have no idea what I'm talking about, and am a shameful excuse for a poster? :(

    I trust this new ViDoc will make up for it though.

    I wouldn't be surprised if trip mines were removed entirely. While awesome, they are probably one of the leading contributors to betrayals, right behind assholes.

    How many players were in that Battle Chess video? I'm wondering if that just gave us a hint as to how big the party sizes are. I'm too lazy to count though.

    It's a standard chess board, so 16v16. I wouldn't take this as proof that 32 will be the new max players though.

    Anyone else notice that they didn't fire the needle rifle? We have seen it a few times now, but never what it looks like while shooting.

    If you notice, when they're in monitor mode, none of the "pawns" have names over their heads, yet all the other units do, both friendly and enemy.

    Bungie has put up the weekly update. Lots of info on loadouts, armor abilities, weapons, and Elites.

    Elites are big.

    Long past due, really.

    Though I probably would have gone for running out of ammo rather than overheating. They should function just like power weapons, the 10 minute spawn camping on Standoff illustrates why. Get the vehicle spawn, use it for a push, and move on with life.

    This suggests that if anything it's more powerful now though right? Me and Josh going to be straight beasting warriors.
