In the menus hit start -> settings and files -> file browser -> films and clips -> temporary history. Then hit Y on the one you want and save from there

Considering how much they have to cram into the top layers of the menus, it could've gone worse. They should've just found some way to list temp games somewhere right in the theater section though
That is an understatement, it needs a huge overhaul.

Played some Spartan Ops. It's alright, but it sure as hell doesn't feel like a good replacement for Firefight. I want my focused battles and point thefts back!

Anyone else getting the message "The Halo 4 servers are not available. Please try again later. Matchmaking has switched to using the default playlist." I can still play, but the player count is incredibly low and I can't access Spartan Ops.
They should have had temporary history be the first thing you see when you hit "select film" in Theater, just like it has been in every game since Halo 3.
Here's my Spartan at the moment. I don't think they look amazing, and most of the armor pieces aren't as distinct or memorable as some of Halo 3's, or even Reach's, but I don't think they're offensively bad or anything.

This. As I've said, the spartan art design could be from some cheap Halo knockoff by Gameloft. So goddamn ugly.
What the fuck were they thinking? Same goes for the covenant.
At least the prometheans and the rest of the unsc stuff apart from the spartans looks good.
Repost so I can confirm this claim.

Thanks for the help with theater mode guys. My God I was convinced if I played another mp game anything before it was never to be seen again.
Indeed. Specifically more different weapons. Power weapons are out of question so we can't get stuff like railguns or shotguns...
Not that you could add many weapons to what we already have. Burst, automatics, slow single shot, fast single shot, what else we could have without it being a power weapon?

I imagine it's pretty easy to post big revenue stats when you're pushing a $60 game, a $100 variant, and a $350 console bundle. Hell, they're probably rolling the $60 controller and $25 map pack sales into that "entertainment launch" umbrella too. But I guess you do what you have to do to stay competitive when a multiplatform juggernaut launches a week after your exclusive game.

Man the halo waypoint stat tracking is horrible compared to the system bungie had. Looking and comparing both websites, waypoint doesn't even have a way to view community maps and game variants whereas on bungie, it is 10x as fast and can download maps straight from the website
what? you are crazy wrong.
Lmao. I played a game in haven where i got a shotty and got a kill for literally every bullet in it. I love that weapon.

The SAW and Light Rifle say hello. And the AR almost feels new since its more useful now.
Next up for me is to unlock promethean grenades.

The issue is it's largely a weapon of patience. You need to convince enemies to charge you, otherwise you just get DMR'd and cry.
But it never hits anything if it is more than 2 feet away.....

Yes, it's ultra close range, Halo has always had it that way. But if you do hit something up close, say bye bye.

If you're trying to use a shotty like a COD shotty....don't. lol - I've learned that mistake.
but it's very powerful, one shot kill basically. in small maps specially.
Of course. The weapon's effectiveness up close is damn good. I do pretty well with it and i play like a total idiot half the time. I try to bait and switch with it.

What is that plasma rifle thing that you can unlock early on? That thing is a piece of shit what a waste of halo bux
everyone votes that, even the same people you just played a game with on that very same map...
Storm Rifle? Storm is good, better than AR to me. I don't like it's sound though, it's like I'm firing a silenced M4 in CoD and not a plasma rifle.
The Storm Rifle is very powerful up-close, kills shieldless targets faster than any other non-headshot/non-power weapon.

The CG stuff is all absolutely stunning. Don't know how many times I've watched the Halsey intro, epilogue and Spartan Ops opening.
