Halo 4 Gameinformer podcast.
I haven't heard it yet myself, so it's a mystery box. Be the first to comment.

Stuff I think is new and notable.
1. Yada yada, balanced unlockables.
2. Male and female Spartans.
3. Lots of "cosmetic' armour sets.
4. No bots. (I guess this was meant to be for replacing players in MM?)
5. No dedicated servers. "No plans for us to support dedicated servers."
6. Doesn't seem like we will see or learn more about the "new threat" until Halo 4 release. I am excited about this.
"silky smooth net code"
for me, this is one of the most important things. they won't be using servers, so limiting the connetion issues is a huge part of good MM.
i thought i had read somewhere earlier that the net code wouldn't really be changing from REACH, but i guess i was mistaken.
I think Reach's net code is really good. I went back and played some H3 BTB and its almost unplayable compared to Reach.
yes, REACH and H3 are night and day. i never had a very good connection, so i just couldn't play BTB in H3.
i play BTB in REACH occasionally, and it's not really that bad. some lag here and there is tolerable, but not constantly.
