What do you think will be your primary load-out come November? (or when you unlock appropriate weapons/mods) (this post has most of the options)
I'm thinking Light Rifle (or DMR) + BR, Hard Light Shield, Firepower and Dexterity.
Maybe DMR + Magnum, Promethean Vision, Mobility and Awareness for BTB.

Primary: Mongoose
Secondary: Extra wheels
Thruster Pack so I can get to Mongoose faster or bail out if I flip over into enemy territory.
Wheelman so I drive around the map in a more durable Mongoose while honking the horn over and over.
Sensor so I can easily find enemies to pick up in my Mongoose.

Awesome. Dat dexterity perk, i want it.
For BTB I think most people will choose Plasma Pistol + Stickies.
For slayer, probably
DMR + Light rifle + PV + firepower + dexterity.

I really wish he would have gotten a god angle at that one guy on his team who was wearing the entire Mark VI armor set.

Can you snap a pic, it at work ATM

There is no front view, but you can tell that the arms and back are Mark VI, If you want I'll snap a shot for ya.

Please
I think DLC armor has to be viable at this point. With the Reach trails and them knowing how to do it with Halo 3 but the high workload you think pipelines for this kind of dlc would of been streamlined so its doable and one a somewhat faster scale.

Wait, you can have the same weapon twice in your loadout?

The gamertag bar is covering a lot but you can tell that is the Mark VI forearm armor.

Probably just a glitch.

Armor on the back looks like MKVI as well. Awesome.

Just noticed it's got the same mod twice too, definitely a bug.
Also just realised the Warthog doesn't make any engine sounds in this build.

I didn't feel like I had to point that out, but yeah, that is Mark VI too. The player is also wearing Mark VI legs, I can't find any good shots worth taking but I think that shot is enough for people to imagine if they don't have access to the video.

I like that armor, Happy to see Mk VI return, Now just need Mk V and Security and ill be happy. A true ODST and SPI would not go a miss neither would the entire Noble team set.
And Pilot... and EOD....

Wasn't there a perk/whatever they're called thing that lets you have two primary weapons in your loadout?Wait, you can have the same weapon twice in your loadout?

So great to see.
I really want to be able to hop in a mongoose, activate the thruster pack, and see what happens. Obviously nothing happens in Halo 4, but theoretically, that would be hilarious to see.
IIRC it was a "tactical Package" called "Firepower"

It would start flipping around like a Halo Reach vehicle.
Yup.
But that is an image of a glitch, he has two DMRs and two sensor upgrades. No Firepower.

I don't know if this has been discussed, but, the ghost sounds incredible and deadly.
I don't think that we can say this just beause it isn't in the PAX build

LOCUS = +T
what happened to the "Aquatic" armor we saw along with the first preorder-boni?
EDIT: i mean "Oceanic" LINK
Oceanic no?
On the Helmets, on the whole I don't think they look particularly good.
Some of them are great, especially Recruit and EOD but there are a lot of weird designs.
Then again, if people wore Gungir in Reach, they will wear the VCR.
A lot of them are really ugly but there are a few cool ones that I do really like. Strider is my favorite so far (love that red visor on it too).
Should be on tonight, what time you planning on hopping on?
It seems to have a really menacing whine whilst boosting. Aces.

This is going to be a tough decision for me. A lot of them look awesome.
A lot of them are very similar, IMO.

7-10.30. I wanna play some BS2 before Halo customs. You better join me, punk!
Also that new TF game is terrible, in SP and MP.
Yep.

My main loadout will probably be this:
Armor Ability: Active Camo
Gotta have my sneakiness... the only armor ability that I use 90% of the time. The radar jammer is the most powerful part of it. When people start looking around for you they love to expose their back to you. lol...
Tactical: AA Efficiency when game first comes out then Stealth after I unlock it
More camo up time until I unlock Stealth. Then I get faster and easier assassinations thanks to quiet sprint, quicker animation time, and unsuspecting PV users. Also has the bonus of a very small chance I'll be seen from afar by PV users.
Support: Sensor, perhaps sometimes Drop Recon
In order to keep track of my enemies better, most people that crouch a lot will crouch while in radar range, but not crouch until they think they are in radar range. Because my radar is bigger I can see when they decide to crouch. Obviously unless they are using sensor as well.
There is a possibility of using Drop Recon depending on how early it gives you notification. It could be used to setup ambushes for players waiting for new weapons to show up before they know where to go. Probably won't be better than sensor though.
Primary: Light Rifle
As a camo user my optimal ranges are really really close (best for the unzoomed 3 shot) and really really far (best for the single zoomed shot). So the LR just works for how I want it. Mini mini camo sniping and a mini mini camo shotgun.
Secondary: Boltshot
Same reason as the light rifle... it hits both extremes better than the other options. This will have priority at extreme close for its charged shotgun shot, while the light rifle will have priority at long range, but both can handle the each situation fairly well.
Grenade: Plasma
As a true foot soldier my greatest enemy is vehicles. In Reach I always hunted for plasma grenades on map to prepare to counter vehicles... now I can spawn with them. Thanks to camo in more situations than not I can't be found and solo drivers will typically cautiously look for me leaving their-self open to easily getting stuck. And teamed vehicles will fly past me and get a sticky as they drive by.

Hazop and Infiltrator looked so dumb but the other armors are alright for the most part. I don't know what I'll go with yet, maybe Recon because I've rocked that since Halo 3 but if not I'll probably go with Mark VI.

So were there bubble/drop shields in the PAX build?

I thought Frankie confirmed that there was no bubble shield in Halo 4. Dunno about the dropshield.
