I'm very excited for this. This is probably the only Halo 4 DLC that I'll get (Other than Forge Island which was free)

I'm getting it mainly for "The Pit" remake and the new armors. I just hope there'll be enough players in the DLC playlist for a proper game on "The Pit"

 

[AvalonX]

I think you will see Pitfall in Throwdown for sure right away. The fact that they are bright enough to make the maps cheaper and separate were a smart move because that along was not worth $10. Vertigo has a weird look to me, like some kind of Abandon sequel.

Pit remake and ODST armor? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!

The Pit was the remake I wished for back when Frankie dropped hints of a remake for Halo 4.

 

[AvalonX]

Oh no: 3 New Armor Mods For Halo 4:
Survivor: Ejects you out of a vehicle if its about to explode.
Recharge: Decreases the time it takes for your shields to recharge.
Resistor: Allows Spartans to maintain their full mobility and dexterity while taking incoming fire.

What are they thinking??? So now on BTB a guy with an unstoppable vehicle can eject? Now a guy with a sword can Sprint straight at me and I cannot slow him down?

 

[Zandril]

Is this true?

 

[Inzombiak]

Link to source? I haven't seen any of this confirmed from 343.

 

[Zandril]

Yeah. I just looked it up. It's legit.

343 is being really quiet about this but it is confirmed. It's all over the Waypoint forums. No mention of this at the panel which tells you all you need to know. Very disappointing, every time it seems like they are taking things in the right direction they take 2 steps back.

Ready for a real kicker, . One of them may be behind a paywall.

I'm getting ready for a big lol over here.
