I had a dream that these locked-in loadouts led to a more TF2-like Halo. One that helped you realize what an asset your teammates were and required teamwork to get things done.
...it might mean that as the game goes on, you’ll have access to more and more choices based on a number of factors we can fiddle with.
This really sounds like they are talking about an assault like gametype. They might even be talking about a unique balancing system. Down 0-2 in a CTF game, you now have access to X loadout.

Ooh, I can see many hilarious instances of using the jetpack and grenade launcher to leave a little explosive present in a corner as you hide up on some ledge that only other jetpack guys can reach and cackle manically as some poor sap walks past the grenade.
I'm guessing the Scorpion and Wraith aren't much different if they didn't talk about them aside from saying that they're still around.

I really really hope we get access to the same loadout control levers and switches as Bungie does. I think we might have some simplistic scripting/logic ability for gametypes for this go round.
watch as the MLG crowd refuse to migrate from halo 3
or if they do they will alter the settings to make it like Halo 2, again.
I have rectified your assumption.
It's true. Everytime my roommate gets out BRed he bitches about how if it were Halo 2 he would have won.
There was some sort of downtime on XBL some time ago or whatever. Anyways I have a video of him playing Uno with his MLG edition Astros and the regulation Viewsonic. He plays it the same way he plays Halo. "Like a pro" screaming his head off
Also confirmed in the Weekly Update that Reach is 16 max.
Sketch sez:
Earlier in the project there were discussions and some playtests done around supporting slightly larger player counts for some specific gametypes that were being prototyped. At the time it was believed that would carry over into something that shipped in the final game but ultimately it didn't work out as planned (for far too many reasons to get into). Reach will continue to support a maximum total of 16 players.
Reading about the "Pro Pipe" is making me dream up scenarios where the passenger in the Hog has a grenade launcher, and bloops a grenade out behind the vehicle, holding the trigger down until the pursuing enemy is over it.

That brings to mind, I wonder how big the levels are going to be.
Also, which H3 map has the most open terrain to drive around in?

One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.

There's also a scene in the Multiplayer Vidoc that shows someone use the Pro Pipe to blast a guy just entering a doorway. I think that the Grenade Launcher might act as a replacement for the Trip Mine if that's not an Armor Ability. Seems like it could serve the same purpose of knocking a vehicle off-course.
I wonder if there willl be any other Elite or Spartan-exclusive Abilities. We already know that only Elites get Evade and Spartans get Sprint, plus they have their natural passive abilities wherein Elites run faster and have better shields but are much larger targets than Spartans, but I think that the Jetpack might be Spartan-only. It would look a bit weird to see an Elite flying around.
Is there some reason we're giving a brand new weapon, that none of us have used, such a derogatory nickname?
The Pro Pipe? I believe that's what a bungie referred to it as in one of their videos. To contrast it to a noob tube, or maybe I'm just imagining that.

Armor Lock/Focus Rifle sound like they might screw the game up a bit.
Also, no customizable Load-Outs =
Still, that was the Infinity Ward theory on development, and we've all seen how well that turned out.
i'm already worried about airborne pro-pipes but we'll see

It's a nice dream.
I really hope these loadouts kill the Halo MLG community. I can dream though.
or if they do they will alter the settings to make it no loadouts/abilities

They'll migrate.
They're just going to bitch and moan the whole way though. You know, like always.

...I wish Guass hogs were on a map by default. I have fun memories of the H2 Gauss hog.
Wonder how many aprox we're going to get to choose from. I thought originally it would be 1 ability + 1 weapon but this dispells that.
Those are an example set based on a playlist/match type.

Just thought I'd say it.

I dunno, an Elite with a jetpack just strikes me as odd. Then again, it could be hilariously awesome to see a full team of TBK flying space dinosaurs.

This guy

gave it that nickname, and Bungie seems to have adopted it. I don't think it's derogatory.
