Just curious, when I checked earlier there were only two challenges related to Spartan Ops this week instead of the usual six. Now that the episode is actually live have they added more or are there really only two this week?

Slowly getting the hand of dominion but quick and silly question: When an enemy team CAPTURES AND FORTIFIES a BASE can you get it back? In some games the game annoucer made it seem like you couldn't.
yes you can retake a fortified base. tip: melee the shields, takes them down faster.

Yes. You can also break down the hologram barriers by shooting/ meleing them. Run in and Recap!
Aye capture process is no different whether the base is fortified or not.

Holy shit I didn't know that. This changes up everything now for me! Thanks guys.
I just played a really laggy game of Spartan Ops where about halfway through all of the covenant models dissapeared. Only their guns where left, but they where still moving around and firing.
I got killed twice by a floating storm rifle, and the last enemy left was a very angry carbine that took forever to kill.
Funniest thing I've seen in a while!

That'd be like fighting against the mops in the Fantasia movie haha.
Save a clip and upload it to Waypoint for render...nevermind.

By far!!! Best...episode...yet! I just finished the 4th chapter and oh man!
Killing wraiths and elites while hunters are firing at you! I was like, how many freaking enemies are on the screen right now! The only way to top that is a pelican. That was great!

I want to, but matchmaking is failing at it. Screw it, I'll solo them as I did with the others.

When do wacky Double XP weekends start? Used to love that in 3.
A lot of Halo GAF never left their basement in community.

matchmaking can't get dat Legendary
I realized typing that out that we have three discrete gaps in functionality: Theater, Waypoint, and video rendering. And only one of them are known to be incoming at some point (file sharing). Halo 4 really stripped out a lot of what made being in its community so fun.
indeed. I'm on my lunch break, I can only do so much!

Just finished Episode 3 solo Legendary and yeah, that is the Spartan Ops I was waiting for. Lots of fun! I can tell that it would be even more fun with 3 other people. Especially chapter 4 as mentioned before.

I've just been rendered speechless that I can't access my fucking file share on my PC.

Is that it? So I have to change the difficulty before heading into matchmaking?

Just go back to Dashboard and re-boot Halo 4.

Man you guys are creaming jeans about this new episode, I'm pretty pumped to play it tonight now. Why are you guys stressing playing with 4 people though, does it have to do with a game play segment? There aren't four player vehicles so not sure what would enhance the experience that much more. A buddy and I just knocked out the first two episodes and were planing on just doing this as a duo but if there's a reason 4 is that much better, we could look into matchmaking.
SP Ops episode 3 is a lot of fun. More exciting encounters. These CG scenes are nuts.
Thanks, I'll give it a shot later.

Nah, two of you should be good. There are just certain parts where they hand you a ton of stuff so why not take full advantage of it with 4 people.

Ahh, well we'll just have to hog everything then
Trying to imagine what makes this one so much better, must just be an epic vehicle portion.

Any interesting playlist changes this week? I'm half expecting to see Mantis spawns in Vortex or something.
Most are doable but intense, a few are crazy difficult and obviously designed only with co-op in mind. Expect to die unless you are very patient and quick to react - and once you die once the spawn system may turn that one death into half a dozen easily.

It's pretty sad that I still haven't played Meltdown a single time because of the stupid voting system... I actually got it to come up once where Ragnarok wasn't an option so I thought I'd have a chance, it was the leftmost option and tied until the last second with Exile and then BAM, two more votes for Exile Looks like I'll have to have a large party if I ever want to try it.

Really? Everyone should enjoy the same aspects of the game as you? SWAT was a godsend in Reach when broken AA's and grenades were a huge issue. It's a game of speed and reflexes, a game of skill with no other variables muddying the water. Not for everybody but it sure as heck has it's place.
Why would it be? They are balanced on the two maps I've seen them on, not hard to take out. The one vehicle I don't feel belongs in MP as fun as it is to use, is the Gauss Hog. That thing kills too much, too fast. A team gets the Gauss and Scorpion on the same map? Good bye rival team.
I haven't even started the campaign yet. Only WAr Games and Spartan Ops so far.
