I think they will make it in eventually, how awesome would it be if they had some kind of data mining to see what forge creations are played most in custom games and what game variants and then put them in matchmaking.

You watch the player that got there first from what I've heard.

Hey guys,
Any EU players looking to participate in a longer term Halo 4 league, head on over to community and join us. The more teams we have, the more fun the league'll be

The Halo 4 European League |OT| Dewls to the death
It'll be at least a week or two before we get underway, but wanted to gage interest.

I was (am) one of those people. The forge palette is so boring and the worst part was that there were multiple maps at launch that were based on the same palette and it continued to grow. So not only was it a very boring color, it was multiple maps of the same boring color. If it was limited to 2/3 maps it would have been much more bearable.

those first few months of reach were wonderful... remember guys, when gaf didn't shit on it on a daily basis ..........good times...
Well, I mean, would you play Halo if in CE every single game looked like Rat Race? Or if every map in Halo 2 looked like Ascension?
Jesus christ, what the fuck?
Unrelated, but is there any reason provided as to no Campaign theater? I understand scoring going away...still liked it, but campaign theater?

How is the netcode, y'all? Is the game competent at pairing you up with peeps in close proximity? I've no worries, really; there'll be that many people playing this game that 'Australia-itis' won't really matter.
i believe they cited technical/engine reasons. But there was some quote about them potentially adding it post release. Sounds like due to time they had to cut it.

I want to know if the netcode for campaign and spartan-ops is actually good compared to Reach. It was almost impossible at times to have fun in co-op with the input lag my friends and I would get even on good connections.
Now that people are playing it, a question. Most probably the most important question of all time;
Is it possible to move the "+5 Dickstroke" text from the center of the screen to the side, or turn it off altogether? It should be an option for people who aren't completely enamored with dry begging for e-cred and stuff.

You're a horrible person.
No, he's right.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Someone said 8-9 hours in here earlier. Seems pretty standard for a Halo campaign.
Agreed, forge killed Reach for me. Too many ugly ass forge maps. Such a travesty when the art is so good on the normal maps, and they play just as well too.
These people don't appreciate good humor. Pour one for the Grunts.

That's decent. I'll knock campaign off before I go online.

I probably spent close to 8 hours on normal. Expect longer on Heroic.
Anything is more fun than fighting flood.
Well, that's a given I suppose.
But I guess my question was more like "how do the Prometheans fill that gap that the Flood left open, in terms of gameplay?"
You two are the EGMnow of the Halo fandom.
Humor is one of the things that made Halo stand out from the crowd of increasingly dull shooters, and turning the Covenant into generic lizard monsters won't make them "menacing" all of the sudden. They have too much silly baggage - an entire decade of goofy space muppet politics.
Halo is a profoundly silly franchise and any attempt to cover that up will just make it look dumb (and not in the good way).
BATTLEWAGON.
true and you can actually hear the elites shout "wort wort wort"
I'll miss the humor of those little bastards.
Although I do like me some wort, wort. I can't remember if they said this in Reach or not.

I still can't see the rationale for no campaign scoring but does campaign at least have medals or its own commendations (any kind of tracking, really), or is it just a barebones campaign mode like in CE and Halo 2 ?

You have my BR.
They use the English "Forerunner" and Latin "Requiem" in that terminal motion comic. It's the worst thing.
There are definitely campaign challenges (2 weekly challenges), and I'm 96% sure there are campaign commendations as well.
wort?
Initially the humor was fine. Like anything else, it gets old. Sorry man.
What gap? Are you talking about some sort of "horror" element or specifically their combat capabilities? Only thing the flood added was using human and covie weapons or adding a 3rd faction to open area encounters. That's it.

Grunt comedy never gets old.
wort the fuck? :lol
I am so sorry for your loss of soul. If you ever decide to go for a funny bone transplant, I'll be sure to donate to the cause.
yes, they are much, much more fun to fight than the flood. and the crawlers fill the gap of the small, annoying enemy that can get on your nerves

Yeah, but my Legendary playthrough had me curious as to how the knights actually work. They have shields, I think, but it's not entirely clear. If they do it seems like they take three headshots or so to take down afterwards.
Anyways, other than CE I never had fun against the Flood so it's a no brainer.

Zomg, my amazon order just changed to shipping soon.
Mine has been at that for a few hours now.
Can't wait to get the LE at 7PM on the 6th. :lol

I'd prefer Kingdom day in day out than Sword Base or Powerhouse.

I'd prefer maps that looked and played good since they're not mutually exclusive. Like I'm used to in Halo games not named Reach.
