Halo 4 |OT| Spartans Never Die

yet at the same time you guys admit to objective holding.



and you can keep playing objective and consider yourself amazing because you can get a high k/d in TO. haha.

Only on Zealot do we "hold" anything. No one said we're amazing (those are your words). I couldn't care less about my k/d in TO, because it's literally meaningless.

The only people that complain this much about how other people play the game and not about the mechanisms in place that make it possible are morons.

We want a better matchmaking experience. What better way than to showcase the problems in the current one?

Hey dudes, I cleared off a few spots on my friends list if any GAFfers want to add me for Halo 4. If you missed it earlier, my tag's the same as my username.

No its not nostalgia, to me its a fact. Gameplay wise i think 2 was very unbalanced with the noob combo, lockon weapons and all, but the maps are top notch. Man, as soon as i heard Headlong was in Reach i was so pumped and when i played it, even with the AA, the map is amazing! Assault, one flag, all that shit, amazin!!

Then they took out BTB from the anniversary playlist and that was that for me and Reach.

Valhalla is the greatest Halo map of all time. /kanyevoice

Are we gonna have a SPOPS thread? Or organize teams in here/HaloGAF?

Could've called a SPOPS thread:

Halo 4: Spartan-Ops - Season 1 (OT) Hosted by Jennifer Hale!

okay, maybe haloGAF is an exception, but seriously, as i play matchmaking mostly with just my gf and not a full party, the likelihood of players who take advantage of objective games constantly shit talking and being absolutely full of it are pretty damn high. so the gaf games might not be like that, who knows, maybe i'll join in some time.

Nice OT. Really hoping this game does what Halo 2 did for me last generation.

My goodness Im hyped.

Are there any trustworthy sites I can nab a Limited Edition copy from? Was going to buy the Halo 4 360 but it just comes with the standard version...wtf.

Quick question. Earlier previews of the game stated that there was no wait time to respawn when you died, but I'm seeing the same 3-4 second countdown to respawn just like previous Halos. Does the instant respawn only apply to certain multiplayer modes or was this changed in the final build?

Certain modes

More importantly I don't hear BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEP on respawn, so this is already the best Halo

CTF has a respawn timer for sure, infinity slayer doesn't.

Thank god, or no one would ever score.

Also, this is easily the most polished and refined Halo to date. The audio alone is insane.

The fucking AR sounds like a beast now, along with every other classic sound effect being totally redone and beefed up 10x.
