Pretty sure you get a code for them in the LE as well. All of them.

Great, priority alpha code is somehow associated with a windows live account i made when i got Dawn of War on PC, not my actual xbox live account....
Are you outside of US? Then you won't get it.
Weird. I like Complex in SWAT, I'm okay with it in Oddball now that the exploit has been fixed, it's even fine for plain old slayer. I'd be sad if they pulled it.
Haven't tried it in SWAT, but it ruins KotH with hills G and E. People pick it just to get kills in and turn it into a slayer match anyways. As long as flinch is an issue, Complex will have issues.
I couldn't imagine it being fun in SWAT either if it entails more pinging from across the map.
the fuck? I'm not in the US, code was sent to me over 30 hours ago.

If anyone has a spare specialization code I'd appreciate it. Microsoft has the wrong account attached to my email.

I think SWAT is the only game mode I actively dislike on Complex. I think the map is just meh.

Complex would have been better without such a big outside area, people just DMR from corners and no one really goes inside the building in any game mode, it felt like a nice map at first but now I dislike it.
Not a big fan of Complex and i am starting to actively hate Solace.( though it's still far better than the worst Halo map i have ever played, Countdown) every other map is fine with me. Haven is the best. Need more maps like that it's easily up there with my favorite small maps in 3. I really like Adrift as well, funny because when i first saw it i thought for sure it would end up hating it.
I don't think i have ever played Swat on Countdown ( not that i remember anyway) but i did play Slayer Pro a couple of times on it in found it to be almost tolerable. 99.9% of the time though i loathed having to play on that map.

I hate Solace and Complex as well. Complex just has no 'flow' (that's the only way I can describe it) and Solace just annoys me with the ceiling things that block everything.

Jeesh I'm playing less only because there's not enough big maps.

The maps are big, they just don't seem to have a good enough flow for BTB unfortunately.
That's okay. Show me 100 people that hate something in Halo 4 and I'll show you 100 that love Halo 4 for that very same reason. JIP, Story, Map Size, Ordinance drops. Worst/Best Halo ever. I submit the problem with Halo .. is the people playing Halo. :O
Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm almost sure that there was no one-shot deaths on my Heroic playthrough. Binary rifles would only strip shields.
Yeah it really does suck.
That's good, eventhough I do like big team. I just wish there is atleast one more map like Haven. I think it's popular because there's no real random shifts in elevation so it's easy to find your "footing" in a sense compared to maps like Abandon. Being prettysymmetrical also helps.

Yup, that's true. I never even realized those circles of light were Binary Rifles until I tackled the game on Legendary.

i'm thinking so. usually in halo i would be between 3 an 5. but for some reason i started out with halo 4 at an 8 for sensitivity and didn't even realize it till a couple days ago. i figured maybe going back down would only help me out more, but i actually felt less accurate. went back to 8.

so just preordering was the only way to get the other army classes? I will forever be able to choose from 3?
Yeah. Complex is great on Slayer and on SWAT. I'm glad to see it get voted for whenever it shows up now. I think people are finally starting to understand the map.
No. All specializations will eventually be unlocked for everyone.

Played this the day it came out and still no specialization code. Thank you 343! Really batting a 1000 with this game. Doesn't surprise me at all

So all the specializations I just unlocked with the email are now gone. Anyone else?
30? 0_o lol got to make a profit somehow.
It's a little too effective at the moment. I've had a few encounters where it beats someone using the Scattershot.
Well, considering you can cancel the charge using a weapon switch, and how you can sprint-cancel the reload, AND how it dominates most of the effective range of automatic primary rifles, yeah it could use some tweaking.

You can fire it any time once it's charged, you don't have to wait for it to release. It has better range than the scatter shot, it out does every AR/Rifle at its effective range and it also headshots.
I think the issue is the Scattershot. The bouncing projectiles don't really seem to be an effective tradeoff for its inferiority compared to the Shotgun. It just feels less effective.

yeah, i definitely use the boltshot because when my shield is down and i'm being chased around a corner it can be a solid last resort. but definitely needs the range of the charge shortened if anything. and if it's gonna be like a timed mini shotgun up close i hope the pistol part is a pea shooter compared to the regular pistol. it's not as bad as the sawed off in gears, but it's a similar situation on how and what to nerf.
...still gonna keep using it though, can't beat em join em.
i don't know, i've had a lot more success with scattershot, feels like it has a pretty large range for a shotgun. i'd gotten some good mid range kills with it in 2-3 shots.

It happens all the time. Usually a restart or two fixes it.

Ahh okay thanks!
Hmm. I dunno. The shotguns don't feel that effective to me, I guess because of the difference between shot times compared to Reach. There's also the fact that the Boltshot's more all-or-nothing approach just seems more fun, especially with promethean vision--trying to out-flank guys on Haven is a lot of fun.
