I understand what you're saying, but for FFA i think they should have both. When the game comes down to who ever can get the most +35 pts off the king, the luck factor reminds me a bit of Headhunter. I think regicide is cool, I'd just like another FFA game type.

well now that grenades don't do much damage and the AR does more, they would. thats why I'm sort of disappointed. previously I could. you were awarded for accuracy and situational awareness. doesn't matter if they were sticking together, if you took them by surprise and don't miss then well done. now with Promethean vision that's gone too...

He's talking about the red Xs, there's no way that isn't just change for the sake of change. Not having classic flag settings is another change for the sake of it.
The second disk is the only one that requires an install, and the requirements I've read said that a 4gb free was needed. There are some older articles which state 8gb is needed, but the MP disk install was only about 3.5gb in size.

So can anyone tell me what the hell happened in the Halo 4 campaign? I just beat it last night. I'm pretty sure it doesn't make any sense at all. I'm also pretty sure that the relationship between Chief and Cortana got really weird and forced in this game.
I enjoyed the campaign gameplay for the most part. Although fighting endless waves of prometheans at the end got really boring. They're like the flood, but harder to kill.

experimenting with loadouts, at first used mobility and dexterity. pretty effective I liked being able to sprint whenever I want and blazingly fast reload and weapon switch.
then tried out combo of resupply and explosives or whatever it's called. can now pick up grenades off bodies AND they do more damage. can say it seems to be working well. might stick with this for a while.
what's everyone else using for the support perks?

yeah I miss the old ctf style. oh and all caps for the killfeed and gamertags , I hate that too. looks bad, takes longer to read. medals all look too similar now as well. the list goes on for all the useless and backwards changes.

I use mobility and dex pretty exclusively. I like what you're using, it just pisses me off that you have to trade other cool perks to make grenades feel like a normal halo game.

No, he was quoting someone who mentioned that bodies and weapons disappear faster from the ground.
yeah that's right I was referring to that then mentioned the death markers afterward.
I personally really dislike that Regicide is the FFA gametype now. It's fun every-so-often, but one of my friend only likes playing FFA, so I end up playing the majority of my games in this gametype. As others have said, it definitely feels a lot more luck than skill. And being the king absolutely sucks. It's like being a giant beacon and a bullet magnet at the same time.
Being the king is awesome! I dare people to come after me with my overshield
i tried it but didnt get what was going on. i thought i was only supposed to kill the king. left everyone else alone. end up with most king kills and 7th overall. am i just supposed to kill everyone?

Are screenshots from theatre uploaded to the web version of Waypoint? I can't find my screenshot gallery anywhere.
I'm certain FFA will return, as a new game that want people to experience their new gametypes and not immediately ignore them for ones they are more familiar with. Bungie in the past shuffled their playlists often, and I'm hoping 343 will as well.
Personally I'm disappointed that they spent so much time on Forge but not on giving an easy method of sharing created content. They should've looked to how Trials: Evolution set up how created content is shared in their game.

I miss dual-wielding and being able to pick up random weapons strewn throughout the map. I'm sort of thinking that they need to be more liberal with the weapons that spawn on the map. Everything has just been BR/DMR all day long so far.
I certainly agree that the radar is overpowered. The constant refreshing (rather than every few seconds) means you can keep track of people so easily. By far the worst thing though is the arrows around the edge that pick up people outside radar range. You just can't flank or sneak around anymore unless you're crouched, which makes you so slow you take an age to get anywhere. It really needs some tweaking.
Might be just me, but I'm not liking the campaign that much. I liked 3 better...
Haven't touched multiplayer yet. I'm pretty sure I will love that
I liked all of them better. MP is good though.

Did a solo run of each chapter on heroic, which took me about 25 minutes each. Got enough experience to build out two loadouts. Then did them again with a co-op buddy, then a group of three of us on legendary. We finally discovered our team groove and burned through each chapter in about 12-13 minutes of seriously intense firefights - Promethean Knights were made for legendary - their mobility seems to be intensified, and their melee lethality is through the roof. They are properly dangerous and keep you on your toes and working as a team. Crawler and watcher packs also teach you to move in formations to avoid getting surrounded.
And to think we're getting a total of 50 of these missions for season one. I am loving this.
BTW - A lifesaver for me when soloing these missions has been Hologram. Its got too many uses both on offense and defense. So if you're hitting a wall, its something to consider. Also, while thrust pack doesn't seem to offer all that much mobility, it has saved my ass at least a dozen times already. I'm having a hard time using any other AA at the moment.

I felt that every time i found a new weapon or vehicle. Just so much better than even Reach. They absolutely nailed the sounds down packed. Great stuff. Even that sniper crack after you shoot it. Or the Ghost. Just lovin it.

I've found that in general, grenades are much less useful in this game. Weaker and with a very narrow blast radius.
Combined with not being able to pick up stray grenades by default, the game certainly has a lot less grenade spam in my experience. But it does make using them much more frustrating, like using them on vehicles as you say.

Hmm...played the first two level....and it's really good so far. Graphics, controls...it just feels right.
Does it get even better?
I only played Team-Deathmatch three times but I really liked it. The movement is way faster than in SP so I have to get used to it.

For me personally, i felt like the game got better as it progressed, even story wise. Lots of diversity in the levels. I have to replay it but as of now, there aren't any levels i didn't enjoy. Its up there with CE for me. Or at the very least, the closest to CE its ever been. And this is with no library problems a la CE.
Because people are familiar with it and don't realize it wasn't designed for this game.
Because it's a great map. It always was.
Yup! Some really great levels too, the only one i didn't really care for was the very last one.

Is this the first Halo game with no backtracking? Seems so.

And yet works so beautifully.
They need to remove voting in MP and put an automatic map rotation.
Voting doesn't work since people will always choose the same maps. And if there's easy exploits on a map, then they choose it even more often in hopes to take advantage. Voting just doesn't work because it relies on people, and people in general don't wanna try new shit unless their forced into it.

I mostly agree, but I think the DMR had more punch to it in Reach. Maybe that's just me.
I really love the sound/feel of the Suppressor, too. I guess it's just a Promethean AR, but it's much more satisfying to use.

Because it's the perfect chance to go with your Plasma Pistol and disable the vehicle-happy fools, then Plasma Grenade 'em or hijack 'em.

Honestly, i didn't mind the back tracking. The gameplay was so good that it didnt really bother me.

I've been able to jet out of the way of death on more than a couple of occasions (when I can remember that I actually have an AA to use other than Sprint, lol) in Spartan Ops. If only I could take screenshots... ;_;

sorry if mentioned, but I just wanted to give props to 343 for their amazing terminal videos. I thought the ones in anniversary were good, but the ones in this are just amazing and I've yet to unlock the last 2.
