Lars Bakken Interview: Multiplayer Details

Alright, if you folks haven't seen it yet, there is a great new interview with Lars on the GameInformer website. Check it out now. Things confirmed: - Multiplayer will be sort of blended in with the campaign. Your character will carry over between the two. Bungie's sophisticated networking methods will still find ways to make sure that you are matched as fairly as possible. - Voice chat will only be between you and your fireteam members to prevent negative trolling experiences. Not sure how I feel about this one. It seems like muting works just fine for me. I'll have to see how they work this out in the beta before I pass judgment, I guess. - Killing in MP will be faster than it was Halo. I don't mind this as long as it isn't Call of Duty fast because that takes all the strategy out of it. I imagine that with a combination of armor and health, it will be evenly paced. I'm guessing the speed is more similar to the increased pace of Halo 4. - Players who are MP only might have to branch out to get the most out of this game. Lars says there should be ample incentives for that though. I will add more to this once I'm not using my phone, but until then, how does this info make you feel?

    [quote]Voice chat will only be between you and your fireteam members to prevent negative trolling experiences.[/quote] I'm all for this 100% Someone made a good point yesterday. You meet ppl in public events right? why would I want to hear what they are saying to each other. It would be confusing to say the least. All of a sudden your chat goes from 3 to 6 or 9 or 12? I have enough trouble with all the voices in my head to begin with :-) Keeping it at just your Fireteam is perfect for me. It will be interesting to hear and see how this works in the Beta :-) I also like that there is incentive for all players to play in the campaign.
