You won't believe this guys.
I was just talking to Microsoft Support through chat about all my bonuses from the Digital Deluxe Edition MIA/KIA - Warzone Req Pack, preorder bonuses, Fall of Reach.
I don't know if the guy was "on" something, but he actually told me they have to process the bonuses manually for each gamertag!!!! I asked him if serious and said yes.
I think this takes some sort of prize in stupidity and "fuck you consumer" IF TRUE. Although I was 100% sure I was talking to a Microsoft employee, I still can't believe this. Could this be the problem we are all having with these bonuses?

I felt pretty darn good about this grenade last night.

that's part for the course man, if you play enough
i use to throw overal the walls from br 1 to snipe tower on the pit in h3, Also use to throw nades straight up literally to land on a high over pass bridge on sand trap just 2 feet in front of me but 15 feet high, run back for 5 seconds and let the nade land beside them and shoot them n the head as I just got far enough back to see them.
do you remember the bonuses for halo reach? there was a remote banshee for your avatar IIRC...to this day I never got it and I used two(!!!) codes for it and both worked lol. so I have a bad feeling about this

Halo 4 is the best with a default controller. Bumper jumper is bad because jump is the 5th most important action. (Shoot grenade melee thrust)

The Sanghelios arc is the best part of the game.
a shame that we don't have a mp map from that area.
Yes! A Guardian inspired floating asymmetrical map with that theme would be amazing.

Is BTB getting new maps with it or will they be Forge maps?

I actually do work for a few hours and when I come back I see people disparaging Strongholds on Empire. Smh. Best game mode.

Forge from that youtube event they had. They said BTB will be forge maps.
Fuck that. God dammit. Map selection is really bad.

Hey i'm completely ok with this if designed well and not too fugly. It's a bummer they're focusing on Warzone for large, non-forge maps... but that gives me free Arena maps... so it's a give/take.

That Arena forge map that the name escapes me is really bad. If they're all like that, id rather pay for DLC and get real maps.
Ive been saying that for months just by watching videos of the game. These guys played them and no one noticed. Just wonderful.
The free DLC announcement makes me doubt that is only Forge.

Oh this inspires hope! Thank goodness. I like the current maps but there simply aren't very many right now.

Yeah man... feels like a Beta still map wise.
Looks like I will stop playing H5 sooner than I thought. I can't deal with this horrible delay I'm getting. Every match is me being shot through walls and that's not even the worst offender.
My AR and Pistol are also still shooting nerf gun bullets. I counted the Pistol shots that hit my enemy and it took 9 hits to kill him. Now, people would probably say "git gud", but all my shots have hit him and the 5th and 6th shot actually hit the other player right in the forehead. As an european, I'm pretty frustrated about this. I always had to deal with this in previous Halo games, but not on this level. The amount of delay I'm getting is beyond ridiculous.
Given my experience, I don't believe this "low ping" stuff 343i was throwing arround. If that's the case, then it surely isn't a problem to show ping times in the actual matches, right? I bet my ping to the server is well above 100ms, when I play against US people.

you are not alone in this. I really wonder were to european servers are. I just shot literally 8-9 times at an enemy so he died.

Yep. I mean honestly I gave gripes. I adore how the game plays but there are some things that need changed.
- If I back out of post-game, take me to the playlist selection. Not a loading screen and then the title screen.
- Pre-game player list is bad. Just rectangular emblems? Why not at least gamertags and the option to mute?
- Need more maps and more varied playlists.
- Fix the failure to load post-game stats.
- Fix or modify the map randomization.
- Where the fuck is KOTH and Assault?
- Friends list not displaying their current activity is lame.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Knew this was a SWAT video before I clicked. Feedback noted and...is that a bird?

Well i saw a video during the youtube event and the guy from 343 whos working on BTB himself says that its being built with Forge maps. Its in that event video somewhere. I remember cause i was extremely disappointed when i heard it. He mentions how they built Blood Gultch in Forge internally to test BTB.

I can get behind all this. Beta-level map and game mode quantity is big let down while the mechanics and gameplay are awesome fun.
Pre-game lobby is a complete joke and the "x-button" friends fireteam system and interface is horrid. As much as i pick on CoD... 343i could really take a look back at AW for a well done and visually "neat" pre-game lobby system.
Here's the fixes I want in the coming weeks/month(s)
- Patch in an actual friends roster. I want to see who my friends are in a fireteam with, what playlist they are playing, score of the game. Etc. why was all this functionality removed? The dashboard friend list has more information
- display fireteam ranks
-let you inspect other friends and enemies without diving 5 menus deep to find their rank.
-if possible add a spartan company roster or some kind of functionality for it.
-rework req system. Stop with so many duplicates, up drop rates on the cosmetics and single use cards.
- add in challenge based unlocks. Ie beating game on legendary, getting all intel/skulls, getting a high arena rank. I'd also like them to give you the req cars for the secret weapons of you find them in campaign. It's a single use card anyway and its absurdly rare.
-fix map rotation, diversify map-gametype rotation
- add in doubles, remove breakout from arena, add ONE social playlist in arena. I just want a place I can go to play with friends that aren't as good so 1. Don't risk my rank and 2. We don't get matched up with people with my higher rank.
Don't know what their plans are for the forge release but we need more custom settings, infection and other game types...

I agree with all of this. Especially the bit about the roster and challenge based unlocks.

It's why I ditched Arena, really. Very disappointing. Luckily I'm still having fun with Warzone, though my idiot teammates have been getting on my nerves today.
I still can't believe we've had four Halo games since Reach and none of them even come close to topping the magnificence or the Reach UI. It was a thing of beauty.
Yeah, that took me a while to figure out as well. It's not really advertised very clearly.
You know it doesn't cost you right....
You just need that specific req level to equip it.
People keep bringing this up and I think this is one of the first things 343 should add. It works so well retaining players on Destiny, daily/weekly things that you feel the need to hop on for so you don't miss out. If a player is deciding between a few games and he could go ooh I havent done my dailies for my easy silver pack they might be more tempted to hop on.
The only thing the video showed was that 343 brought in community cartographers to build BTB maps in Forge. Nobody said those were the only BTB maps, nor that they would count as any of the free maps that 343 has promised.
you gaf name is something. it is distracting. lol
I think I found a bug, after a warzone game my screen is flashing like crazy. I'll try to take a video but after the bug the whole game crashed.

Man I thought it was just me. You've described exactly what I'm going through. It takes me an insane amount of BR or Pistol to the head to kill anyone. I've never experienced this before in Halo or any other game. Something definitely feels off. I went from 1.40 k/d ratio in previous Halos to 0.80. Absolutely insane
I've stopped playing SWAT for the time being because I've been feeling this more too. Someone will come around a corner and as I'm halfway to reacting I'm already popped within a few ms that just isn't always humanly possible.
Well, to be fair they've had plenty of opportunities to say otherwise, and they haven't, lol.

Force BTB maps???
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Forge is already ugly as sin in every halo game. Why can't we just get simple guardian, the pit textures and let us color change those pieces and add color lines if want. Black wall, yellow stripes on the wall with simple nice looking textures.
WHY does every forge map look ugly as sin in textures and design?
Also, Why can't we just get classic halo designed levels????
These city maps are not good, most of the art style being overly bright and bloomy, foggy isn't good
and breakout is alo a bit of a pain to see in and feel any detail in the maps no matter how they are designed. It's just too extreme.
Really getting tired of these maps in the past 2 or 3 halo games. sigh
If I ever hit the lottery, I am hiring the best map designers to make a real halo game with real halo maps just so have a game I really really like to play.
Starting to feel 343 just can't understand what most old halo fans really want at all and they will refuse to do it.
