ONLY in public games, they would also probably have to increase the kill limit if drop-in drop out was allowed.
Soap and bullets.
A framerate above 20 fps.

Oh, I agree. But drop in drop out should have been in social a long time ago.
Ranked should always be what you see is what you get until the match is over.
The hell kind of risk and reward system does COD have?
Halo 1 and 2 had the best one with power ups and power weapons but was ruined by too much equipment in Halo 3 and AA's in Halo: Reach.

I know this is typical marketing schmaltz but it makes me salivate none-the-less.

Does halo have a "mercenary" playlist yet?
If not, that's another thing it needs.
This should be standard in all games now.
Some people want to get on and fuck around by themselves without getting put up against a stacked team.

Game modes with the 'betting' like system. 'Risking' your earnings for greater rewards.
Kill fast/be killed fast. It's the easiest risk/reward to recognize. Throw in some of the other game modes like Kill Confirmed and Domination and asking "is it worth picking up the objective in this scenario or should I wait it out?"

See, I used to be unshakeably opposed to this in Halo. Quitting being as prevalent as it is in Reach, I now agree with you.
No, it doesn't, and yes it should.
Oh you mean the Wager modes? Yeah sure drop those in too.
(Really want Gun Game in Halo, love it in CS and CoD)
Wager matches was the best innovation in a FPS i've seen in quite some time. Fun, unique game-types, and the risk-reward system kept every match feeling like it actually meant something.

Which is something Reach so desperately lacks.
You know what we really want to see? A clan war mode. After I got done playing Armored Core V Demo I really want to see a mode like this.
Basically you make a group (clan), make a logo and choose from 1 of 8 sides. You get your own plot of land on the map and if you loose it you either help another group or defect and join the enemy until the war has ended. Makes clans actually have a meaning rather than seeing a bunch of xx420SKIk1ll3rxx clans.

Ever play Crysis? The Nanosuit abilities really reminded me of a Spartan.

All we need is Xand and HaloGAF will be complete.

I'm curious, what are these capabilities you're talking about?

Seriously, are these games teaching kids to gamble? That sounds like a horrible idea.
I bought the game for $20. I lost interest very fast, but I may pick it back up at some point. The double-jump seems like it could work in Halo, and the sprint function is very similar to Reach's AA, except it's not a pickup ability.

Maybe for PC? The 360 version is GoD so no Trial/Demo.
I think there was a Crysis 2 multiplayer demo on 360 but I don't know how that compares to Crysis 1.
Or people should just go play ACV for that mode instead of playing it in a Halo game
because ACV will probably sell terribly compared to a Halo game :[
Crysis 2 MP demo is dead. Sucks that the MP in that game turned out bad, loved the direction the pre-alpha was going but the final version was bleh.
The general idea of the War mode NEEDS to be in something outside of Battletech, ChromeHounds and Armored Core. Its a brilliant game mode that a lot of games could easily put in.
EDIT: Come to think of it, why is it only Mech games that have the game mode?

PC version has a demo for the singleplayer, yeah.

Point taken, but killing virtual humans isn't something that a normal person would think to take into regular life. Igniting a spark of a possible gambling problem is something else entirely. It's probably not that big a deal, it just stood out to me (plus I know good people who have lost everything to a gambling addiction, so I might be a little overly-sensitive to it).

Can you explain the system?
Edit.: I have to share the same opinion like squidhands. Still I never heard about a "betting" like system.
Everyone puts money in and whoever wins get a large share of the total amount of money. 1st 2nd and 3rd place all get some money. Everyone else looses money.
I played the demo, I don't think it was a good representative of the games though.
I like this new guy.

The point I was making though is the Nanosuit abilities are probably a better representation of a Spartan's abilities than what we see in Halo games. Specifically all the actions you can do in Strength and Speed mode.
The first 2/3s of Crysis on Delta difficulty is pretty amazing though, I'd give it a playthrough.

Inject new life? Just give us H2 back. The last attempt at changing multiplayer up so much gave us Reach.

Eff that. That shit's hard. Hard is a good challenge without being frustratingly difficult.

Some aspects from Reach will make it to 4, that's something we have to deal with.
Bloom obviously won't
What you basically want is Halo 2 with a new graphic layer? They could call it Halo 2 Anniversary...
Welcome lurker of the lurkers!
Rule one: never play Reach.
Rule two: never play Reach.
Rule three: complain about the lack of Halo 4 info.

More info on resident evil 6 has been released in one small leak in one day than in 7 months of halo 4 being announced.
I doubt they could make something worse than armor lock if they tried
Would be impossible.

Armor lock is not a problem, armor lock in Team Slayer is a BIG PROBLEM.
They should have kept it to BTB and Invasion. An intersting idea which is badly implemented, history of Halo: Reach.
