the majestic maps are awesome. really like landfall. skyline would be so much better without sprint. monolith is a little too big but sprint makes up for it, i guess
loving the beam rifle.

I'm guessing Tashi does if he is doing the videos. Guessing you put it in your share and he downloads, then captures if deemed worthy.

Awesome. Should we send the clips through File-Share?
If we already have a capture card, can we just send you the video file? I have an HD PVR 2 so it's a little more convenient to just send it too you.
LOL yea that would be a good clip to send in.
Yes! I'll make an official post tomorrow regarding rules and how to submit. You don't need a capture card. All you'll need is the whole film in which the clip takes place (I don't want to run into that glitch where the announcer's voice goes out)
Correct. I'll be doing all the capturing so it keeps the video quality between clips consistent.
Yes, full films through file share. I'll do all the capturing.

I want to play BoGT before GTA5 comes out.
LatD was fantastic, better than the Niko storyline. It was basically Sons of Anarchy the game
I think it does, I tried it with some friends earlier and we didn't get the challenge after completing it.

Thanks. Now I'm wondering if I should have submitted the map that I made specifically for the contest instead of going back to an old one.

Made "GAF" my clan tag/service tag in Black Ops 2 and Halo 4. Hope I meet some GAF users through these games.

Played over 35 hours of the game and enjoyed the hell out of it.
Sorry for having fun with a quality game I guess...?
I've 100% it and since then I just want more to do in the game. ;_; The DLC can't come out fast enough, I've had a lot of fun in this game and I need more!
Huh?

I'd really like a Halo Movie. Maybe late 2013? Early 2014? Now Maybe!?
Another Legends Animated Film BUT Canon worthy, better animations similar to "the Package" OR Terminals animations quality. Use same Voice Actors & Actresses that did, 343GS, The Didact, Librarian, and Master Builder. Neil Davidge focusing some Marty Quality Magic with original Monk chants (Gregorian Chant).
Focus on Ancient Humanity, Forerunners/Prometheans, Flood & Precursors Prologue.
Just Ship It, 343i!

A Halo movie based on the Human/Forerunner war millions of years ago would be perfect.
It won't happen because they'll be no Master Chief to give crappy lines too

I'd be interested in this. Sounds really cool.
So does anyone reckon we will get a map editor in Halo 5?
We've been due one a while, and with Forge still being such a popular tool for the player, we should definitely see some more of 343s time invested into making it better. The only thing I would see causing an issue is trying to keep it familiar, so it isn't completely alien to previous Halo games, and keeping it as simple as current forge mode. These could be huge obstacles for 343 to conquer.

How will they sell Map-packs if users can make complete maps themselves, hell I could see the community remaking the Map-Pack maps perfectly.

The good thing about forge at the moment is that it does not require people to download the forge map to play it. Forge is far more accessible this way. Now if 343i brought in a full on map editor, along the lines of Farcry 2 map editor, it would require every person to download the map before playing. Can you imagine the hassle of getting people to download maps for a "forge" playlist. I know many people who wouldn't even bother with it. This being said I would absolutely love a proper map editor for the next halo game, however I do not see how it will be feasible and as accessible as the current forge system we have now.
YEAH BOI!!!Decided to just bump and you this thread instead of making new ones.

Sorry for the delay and I hope you guys enjoy it!
my girlfriend says you guys are very annoying.
I'd be inclined to agree if majestic turned out to be like crimson, but it was well done and they look great. Nothing comes close to developer maps. Textures, skyboxes, lighting etc. Think about all the remakes people have done, while they play faithfully, there's something off about them.
I think for Halo 5, they will make forge much better. It'd be nice to consolidate the biggest complaints so that Frankie can look over them and let the team know.
Equip wheelman perk. Let's you recharge mantis shield quicker and also recover from plasma pistol.
I think I got 9 stomps in one match. Just have to get the timing down. Once they are closer than mid distance to you, best bet is to let them come close. If you see the green glow, you'll get EMP'ed, but by the time they are closer, the wheelman perk would wear off the blast and you could stomp, or if they are super close, just stomp.
Hard to explain. I shouldve made a video and put in file share when I got the 9 stomps. I had the timing down perfect.
Turret, if you have the perk, is ridiculous. Any extraction match you could clean up easily.
Hardest is warthog, don't even bother with harvest. Best bet is wreckage. I got it when I stopped trying. There is a warthog that spanned at the back near the blinding light. I got in and just went in the man cannon, there were 2-3 people on top hill, one couldn't get out of the way and bam, got splattered and it unlocked.
Every achievement I try and get legit out of the way first, that way you can move on and enjoy the maps again. I hope they move away from these types of achievement though. They're a chore and ruin a lot of maps/playlists.

What is it? I never saw it or read about it?
Shows up when you're in a dashboard party, and shows games your dashboard party members are in.
It's probably the most useless feature added to Live ever.
Its just an option that brings up a dash telling you if anyone in your xbox LIVE party is playing Halo 4.
Oh, and if some of you are interested by a Spartan Ops Behind the scene, one of our editors found a cool collection of concepts from Axis Animation and Shae, a freelance artist who works for 343 Industries : http://www.halodestiny.net/news-2440-spartan-ops-cinematiques-et-missions-en-concept-art.html#skip
Their galleries are available on CGHUD too : Shae Gallery - Axis Gallery
Oh they're pretty damn awesome!
...
Just finished Tomb Raider (been home all weekend with no money... don't judge me)... and after so many hours of playing, you get 75G. Just 75G. There aren't even achievements for levels or whatever... just additional things like "25 unaware enemies killed".
Feels bad. I like mah achievements
One question: Why?

I checked Shae's personal blog and he has a small tidbit about the creation of Apex. One part is pretty interesting:
http://shaeshatz.blogspot.de/2013/02/apex.html
A shame we did not get a Pelican mission. At least there are still plans for great content in the next season.
About Apex. I wish we would have seen such an area in the campaign. When I had seen Apex for the first time, my initial thought was "This is Halo". That's what I wanted from the campaign. It would have been beautiful. I hope Halo 5 can deliver.
Edit.: Anyway, what's the best SpOps mission to get the challenges?
Translation: you were either host or had good connection to host. I feel like this is 50% of all "timing" related issues in Halo games (or really all P2P connection games). Dedicated servers for 5?
I definitely agree. Apex was one of the prettiest Halo environments, and one of the best designed Spartan Ops maps--there were so many routes and alternate areas that I really didn't mind returning to it because they did such a good job reconfiguring it every time.
Got no ass and her face is a little bit too round for cortana but this probably a little bit too much criticism lol.
Yes can somebody hire her (343 pls) and do such a thing? Why is there no Halo porn parody at this point with her in the lead role?

For what it's worth, this post alone is miles better than that OP.
But the cortanas in the OP look better
I knew she looked really familiar.

Wow, so I just found out that File Browsing works on Waypoint now. When did this happen? Lol
When Nicholas Cage signed 343's final paycheck.

And I thought I was going crazy see Cortanis Cage.
The ideas behind instant gratification and progress are so open to interpretation, that it is surprising that Halo 4 takes concepts for those ideas that were already out there instead of trying something new. Even then, it botched the execution of the copied concepts to a certain extent. It took ideas that were flawed already in other games and didnt try to improve them, instead they slapped exact same broken system onto this game. Usually you are suppose to be given stuff, like skins, attachments and unlocks with an investment system. There is nothing wrong getting something out of investment. Its a pretty neat idea, it really focuses on longevity and replayablity. The problem however is what you put behind such an investment system. Skins and armor unlocks are harmless, but weapon and perk unlocks do more harm than good. It gimps players by forcing them to use sup par weapons and perks. In the long run it creates more player frustration and irritation. Reach walked a fine line by doing pre-set loadouts, a fine comprise in hindsight.
Execs can force such a system, but its on the designer to implement it. There are so many other ways to get the same result, without falling into the same traps. For example, the commendation system could have been expanded and put on the for front of it all. Make it the first thing you see after you finish a match. Players get that instant information that they have hit milestones and have unlocked certain cosmetic items. Make the loadout system class based or even playlist specific. It is something familiar to casual players and more long time players are not alienated. There are more ways to keep player interested in your game, the above is just an example, without comprising the actual gameplay.
This might sounds controversial, but the loadout system has kind of become next the armor lock. They both stunt the gameplay unnecessarily and punish users for nothing. At the core the loadout system is to add value to the game and add more power to the player. The biggest problem however with that train of thought is that it goes against the established sandbox. The cost of it is that now its being broken down, instead of the sandbox as a whole being embraced and respected. Things work because they are limited and used at the right times, it being so open and unlimited just shows that too much of a good thing can be bad and totally destroy a very competent game. I hope they totally rethink their gameplay and player investment system in the next Halo. There are other ways to entice and keep players coming back. There are tons of examples in how to do it correctly, look at Starcraft II, League of Legends, Team Fortress II.
My favorite SpOps map. From the pictures I get the impression that it was larger originally, seems tons got cut
