I know, but because of that people like to go off and kill instead of actually capping hills.

Somthing similar happened last night when i played slayer on that map and Solace. On abandon there was me and two friends in my party and a random on our team. While playing we did not see this guy for almost the entire match( i had assumed he quit and it was just the three of us), toward the end i am in a firefight with a guy from the other team when he is assassinated by the random who then uncloaks.He had like 16 kills. The match on Solace had the whole enemy team croutch cloaking the whole game. To be honest i don't understand how people using that tactic don't find it boring as hell staying in one place the entire match waiting for someone to happen by.

Stop picking ragnarokkkkkk.
im only playing team slayer now since everyone fucking LOOOVES RAGNAROK!
Well, then E3 demo contained all the primary new enemy types, there are only 3.
There are different variants, but they are all visually similar - which can be a gameplay issue.

I literally finished a ragnarok game and the next vote comes, immediately 4 votes for raganarok.
It's annoying because the Big Team in this game is so much better than Reach's.

The loadout system is great because for every annoying exploit...
(grenade spamming and cloak camping)
There is an answer to it...
(hardlight shield and promethian vision)
for example.

Killcam is broken as buck, don't trust it's lies. Devs said they are working on it.
Spartan Ops is an amazing breakthrough for co-op and an extended campaign. The CG cutscenes are also incredible. I only have one complaint...
Please, for the love of god, take the time to create new stages and stop reusing all the campaign levels. It makes everything feel cheap and tacked on like filler.

Yup, I did. I still don't like how the music sounds or is implemented, but I've grown fond of the cutscenes themselves.
Still think the ending was
fucking underwhelming
But I can rationalize it a bit better, with Cortana using Hard Light and the Chief only setting the bomb to detonate instead of actually blowing it up in his hands. I'm still not sure the latter is true, but fuck, 343 can't be that fucking stupid, can they?
I've grown more adept at killing Prometheans and, in turn, enjoy fighting them a lot more. I still think the Binary Rifle is cheap, but oh well. At least Jackal Snipers can't kill you in one hit on Legendary anymore.
There's also a lot more weapons found around the game than I at first suspected. Most of them are either hidden or just badly visible, like a rack of BR's against a grey wall. I never noticed the damn things. :lol
Yeah. It's still not my favorite Halo campign (Halo 1 and 3 will be forever tied in an epic stalemate about that one), but I enjoy it a lot more.
Good to know, because wow watching some of my deaths on killcam made me raise my eyebrow a few times. Lol
First ep from chapter 2 is straight from Campaign.

And then re-used again in this week's episode. Its not the end of the world, but I thought all the talk before release was how almost all of Spartan Ops would be in distinct locations, separate from the campaign.
Have yet to be instakilled by jackals with their beam rifles. I have had my shields stripped though. Its those damn binary rifle crawlers and knights you have to watch out for. Maybe you were hit by multiple snipers?
Its too bad too, because I thought Bungie solved the AI sniping problem in Reach by having the enemy use the focus rifle for sniping. You could at least quickly react to getting hit by that weapon instead of getting instantly disintegrated.

Does anyone have that list of Halo 4 complaints so far, e.g. no announcer in theater, black levels in CGI, sound mixing in campaign, etc.?
I'm sure there's one somewhere in the Halo OT community thread.
could it be that 343 ran out of time?
the way the soundtrack is (not) used/poorly mixed, how they handle the antagonist and the terminal videos had to be pushed to waypoint since they didnt make it in time to be on the disc.
after all the big talk about the antagonist, i cannot believe 343 fucked this up on purpose. it feels like there is at least on big cutscene missing in campaign. and they had to change the terminal videos to make up for all the missing story content in the game.
i really hope frankie or david will talk about this.

Sure you weren't weakened beforehand? They take down your shields entirely when they hit you, so if your shields were already down, maybe the damage bled through.
I don't even know if there's bleedthrough in the game, though. So far, when I got tagged by a Sniper jackal with a Beam Rifle on legendary, my shields just popped.
I got noscoped by a heroic jackal from like five feet away. I was mid jump, too. He was on his game that day.
Nice. I agree with the music. I have to try and listen to it while playing, and that's not a good thing.

Yeah, I thought it was better the second time through too!

Has anyone done any research on this?
I have heard some anecdotal opinions but nothing concrete. I would love to know the percentage of increase for both damage and radius blast.

Yeah, a straight up classic weapon set/no sprint playlist with forge recreations would be nice.

i'm not sure about grenades in MP and i don't really care, but in SP they're fucking useless.
they don't do that much damage and the effective radius is laughable. which make no sense in my opinion.
Grenades got nerfed a bit in both damage and splash damage radius it seems. Even with the explosives support upgrade they aren't as good as they were in the past.

The ending was so... disappointing. Not in terms of story as such, but in terms of gameplay.

I had just spawned, so yeah, fairly sure.
Of course I've no way of checking. Yet.
I want it with maulers. And QTEs.

I especially love when one of those little fuckers likes to go kamikaze on my ass while waving with two lit stickies. I used to laugh at that, now im terrified and i just run like they do. Sorry Chief

We call them "oh shitters" in my group. Because that's always what one of us says just before the end, so whenever we hear those words everybody checks their six.I especially love when one of those little fuckers likes to go kamikaze on my ass while waving with two lit stickies.

Funny thing is, just about every game has their own equivalent of "oh shitters", so its become a staple of our co-op lexicon.
That and "going Army of Two", which just means one player getting aggro while the other flanks or encircles.

Is there any penalty for quitting? If not, why the fuck not, and if so, it's not severe enough. Joining in-progress games is better than nothing but it's not enough.

So that thing where the Prometheans tackle you and the skull shows, does that ever actually happen? Played through ones on legendary and that never happened..
Figured it wold be somewhat common given it was in the E3 vid and the live action commercial.

That happens early on in a scripted event, doesn't it? During the introduction of the Knights.
Only good. Great, actually.
