So does anyone actually like using pulse grenades or are they just useless

pretty much useless, but I would assume that they would be useful for objective gametypes. it also doesn't help that we only get one per loadout.

they are the new flame nade.

They're useful in King Of The Hill. So, they're useless.

Never. I like frags.

 

[Psychoward]

Team Slayer Pro should be 500 points to win.

 

[scar tissue]

Yeah, I'm in favor of H4 spartans. I prefer the web/brail underarmor compared to reaches leathery/foam look.

quick example:

Reach

Halo 4

Yeah, too bad the actual armor pieces are designed like shit in Halo 4.
FOTUS :lol

 

[Tawpgun]

Keep personal ordnance fine, but they need to make Global Ordnance static. Not random. In EVERY playlist.

Baffling decision to go full random.

no the flame nade was quite powerful.

Also let map makers determine ordnance. Right now all 3 Forge canvasses are set up as big maps for ordnance. Enjoy Incinerator Cannons on 2v2 Forge maps

They're actually really good in close range battles when you can throw them right at the person's feet. Also do a good job of zoning. Much more useful than I had originally anticipated them to be.

Wait so you're saying that if you do global (random) ordnance, its weighted for big maps?

That's kind of fucked up but who cares, all forgers should put static drops on their maps.

It's like they didn't even bother telling anyone.

I'm kind of excited to play Harvest, not sure about the other two.

That one rocky brown one looks ok also, you know the one with some UNSC stuff?

I get that they have their vision, but patch in the toggles!

 

[enzo_gt]

If you play any objective gametype, they're mad useful. For blocking entries. If not, then no.

They're actually really good in close range battles when you can throw them right at the person's feet. Also do a good job of zoning. Much more useful than I had originally anticipated them to be.

Also this.

as long as i have stalker armor set with contour arm/leg >:3

no the flame nade was quite powerful.

direct hit yeah, but maybe we had different encounters with them because i had zero fear/use of incendiaries.

I don't think many people had encounters with them because they weren't in matchmaking.

customs for me.

 

[User 73706]

They should just make Spartans drop grenades again even if we can't pick them up, and make it so that Pulse grenades would detonate those as well if they managed to kill someone. I'm sure that'd help their effectiveness.

 

[JB1981]

Been enjoying Dominion a lot lately, just wish the games lasted longer and I could get more competent teammates

New maps r tomorrow ? I guess I'll have to get on that season pass

 

[Mindwipe]

Why the hell was the VGA version of the Spartan Ops trailer edited down so much to remove everything interesting (and whoever edited it did a really hack job too)?

I find it hard to believe the VGAs would have said their world premiere trailer was too long.

 

[timetokill]

Boltshot still not nerfed yet, huh? Oh well.

Dominion (and most objective gametypes) are completely worthless if you're not with like at least 3 other people. If I'm holding down A with a friend, it would be great if the rest of our team could manage to take down just one other point.

 

[SPACECADET]

they need to at least shorten the range. near point blank. i don't think that's too much to ask for seeing as it's secondary shot is mostly used around corners. but i've got some full health guys one hit with a couple feet distance now and then.

 

[GotchaForce]

Crimson map pack is up. How do I get it if I bought the season pass?

 

[Blue Ninja]

Crimson map pack is up. How do I get it if I bought the season pass?

Should be an in-game menu for it.

 

[blamite]

Should be but isn't.

 

[Red_Man]

Not playing again until this is addressed.

 

[raindoc]

not at all, atm.

 

[Mesharey]

So, the new maps are good or not ?
I'm interested in the new map for infinity slayer.

 

[Pipeyboy]

Any update for those of us who went for the War Games Pass?

When i checked this morning Crimson pack was available - though only 411 in the specific playlist (small number may well be a sign that the majority of people who've already paid extra cant get at it).

 

[Mik2121]

So... I just saw the Crimson pack... but for some reason when I go to the Marketplace it's listed there for 800 points and I only have 600, and I can't buy it..

Now, that would be normal if I didn't have the Pass where I can download everything, but I do... and I still can't download this. What the fuck?
Edit; Oh, it seems I'm not alone here...

 

[The Real Napsta]

Jesus Christ Marie, they're fucking Mineral Launchers.

lmao, show is so good

 

[JB1981]

Just bought season pass. How do I download crimson map pack without getting charged twice? This always seems to be a problem with season passes !

 

[Everdred]

I noticed they have a Waypoint Challenge this week, extra points!

If your team only has one point you can't be two guys simply "holding down" that one unless you're under heavy attack, in which case I agree the rest of the team should be able to steal another point. Usually the team with two points is all about defense so you need the entire team to attack them.

 

[LosDaddie]

What's a good chapter in Spartan Ops MM to do the new Challenges. I know the first chapter is all Prometheans, so that's not good.

The ones currently in matchmaking is usually good ones but I don't know about this week with the "best of".

 

[Elginer]

So, I bought the LE and redeemed the key for that at releases, so I would imagine I have the season pass activated. How do I download the map pack?

According to Waypoint, it should be up for season pass users in an hour or so.

SIGH, well at least they're working on it. That's good. Guess I'll go get a coffee lol.

Wow so the LE owners get punished for their loyalty. In an hour ill be leaving for work.

343 is really starting to piss me off.

It's like how the Halo 4 Xbox has the regular version of the game instead of the LE.

Dude it's a few fuckin hours, chill. You're not being punished for your loyalty, they're fixing issues on their side with the discounted DLC you bought.

Read the next line. Ill be at work - not a few hours... I won't be able to download these maps til tomorrow.

Besides its a matter of principle.
