They are fully aware of the issues too: https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst236154_Halo-4-Achievement-Issues.aspx
According to people at xboxachievements.com, this has been a problem for over 6 months since they released that patch for the Champions DLC and its achievements. Something like unlocking the champions cheevos before others can screw up Castle/Majestic/Crimson cheevos from unlocking. Which is basically what happened to me.
At this point, either it's such a fucked up issue that it would take tons of work to unentangle the code (which is highly likely based on other things I'm aware of) or they just straight up don't care to fix it at this point because they have better things to do.
The worst part is that they released a time-limited DLC playlist before fixing their fucking game. It's like a slap to the face.

Cheaper on ebay, w/free shipping.
Slightly off-topic but did anyone see this?

I find it odd since MS said they weren't bringing any more Halo games to steam for the time being..

Those groups have been there for a long time.
Been there for awhile. Its clear that MS wanted to and still might be looking into bringing 1-3 to Steam
Oh, never knew. Yeah, really can't wait for them to actually put it up.
I should take a better look at the sources next time :/
Get them on the reload but it's an excellent weapon in multiple environments against both vehicular and infantry. The fuel rod cannon is probably far worse than it.

As someone who thinks Halo 4 and Titanfall multi are both turrible, I think the only way you could realistically come to that conclusion is if you went into Titanfall expecting Halo.
I actually hadn't thought of that.
So I guess it's pretty much pointless to get it digitally?

It'd be really nice in future matchmaking if you could actually avoid players that do nothing more than betray or dick around.
And a boot system for afk players.
Dick around has quite vague terminology what's the type of actions you're implying with it?

Not betraying me but basically trying to get in my scope or push me.

Nah there's a lot more annoying bullshit in titanfall, like the burn cards that give you infinite grenades or let you START a match with a Titan. Camo on spawn is also still a bad idea, and the people who said otherwise are wrong. Pile issues like those on top of an atrocious matchmaking system with no private games and barebones cookie cutter gametypes and TitanFall ends up being an average FPS...with wall running and mechs.
Halo 4 has issues, but if I had to choose out of the two I would definitely pick H4.
Killer Instinct remains Xbox One's best title.

In an ideal situation 343 wouldn't have put invis in loadouts. Nor jetpack. Nor promothean vision.
What's the point of map control if you put in AAs that completely break the plane or give people invis and power weapons.

Camo is fine in Titanfall. You can spot them so easliy.

Did we ever find out what the Disney tech was?
Disney has quite a large animation studio right? might be something to do with that.

If they're charging at you, you'll probably see them. Mid-range firefights with certain lighting make it much harder though. I abuse it all the time, but maybe the kids I play against are just bad.
Fair enough that does get annoying when ammo is scarce as is and someone walks straight in front of you.
Don't we all... But some people have no ability to counter camo they let you just murder them because they don't notice you.
Did they pick the 3 characters I'd never expect in Halo, but to be fair Seth Green made Joker amazing in Mass Effect.
The title of that article is unrelated to the Halo info. They made a list of projects XB Studios is working on and the Halo projects are listed there.
-- Never change, HaloGAF
To clarify, wat I meant by IP was the code itself. It does sound like a mess to go and fix that. It's something they were given, not something they built, so it's tougher to work with and fix bugs. It's probably not even worth bothering for them at this point.
It sucks because I actually like the maps now that it's in a designated 6v6 playlist.
Wow, Spielberg project seems bigger than I expected.
I'm assuming it is planned to have multiple seasons and the other one will be a simple, 5 part series or something like that, since they said it'll be like FuD.
For some reason I get a really bad feeling about that, though. Like, that Spielberg's project will manage a season and then run into complications. Maybe it's just simple precedence that doesn't apply, but I still worry. "Too good to be true" etc. etc.

If you're a Halo fan, wouldn't you rather have a physical copy? But digital does seem more expensive.

I can see it now.
Seth Green is Gaz, an elite (as in good, not sangheili) hacker commissioned by ONI. He wears all black and has nasty-ass dreads but he's one of the best they've got. He's trying to be a mole for Master Chief, and accepts pay in Xena tapes and Hot Pockets.
Michael Cera is Eli Del Rio, a reserved by-the-book Sergeant Major with a recon background. He's trying to find himself, a mysterious Forerunner artifact, and the right mix of nature and nurture to lead his troops. He's awkward and stutters, standing a mere 4'7". The ODSTs teach him how to have summer fun in a training montage.
Sarah Silverman is Veronica Vasquez, the only Spartan-IV recruit that's ever bested Palmer in hand-to-hand combat. She's mastered 69 forms of martial arts and is a master of Promethean weaponry, relying on a hardlight broadsword fashioned out of a dismembered Knight arm. She calls it Vexcalibur.
She dies in the first five minutes to a Grunt holding a potato gun.
Digital is more convenient, and I'm slowly, slowly transitioning to digital only.
I'm a PC gamer at heart, so coming to a console and not being able to get digital games on the cheep feels weird. I'm also a rabid completionist, so I have to own all content in a game (plus I want to get those achievements).
I'll probably go with physical, but I wish I could go digital.
When is the next time MS generally has sales? They've been having a fair amount of those on the 360 lately.
Why not Palmer herself?
Wahrer pls.

I went into Titanfall with no expectations and I didn't expect it to be like the Halo series at all. To me, it is like a dumbed down Quake Wars with better graphics, but without the classes, without all the vehicles except the mech and a basic playlist and not as good gunplay. Throw in some perks, weapon and weapon mod unlocks that makes the gameplay unfair and you are left with an average FPS. I also don't like the fact that it is only 6 vs 6 and the maps are fairly large and you end up killing more bots each match than you do actual players. The wall running, graphics, fairly fast gameplay and semi-decent fast mech play is what keeps it in the average range in the FPS genre. I would complain about the match making, but they have kinda fixed that.
So the Halo 1 on Steam petition almost has more supporters than the SEGA games on PC one and its only been like a day
Have they added the option to play 6v6 players without bots or mechs? Or are all the maps really that big that it wouldn't work?
-- That could be. I imagine tracking some of these achievements is a pain in the rear even at the best of times. And some may not be done by 343 at all, but by Certain Affinity or one of the other outsource partners.
-- This does make me wonder exactly how the achievement system functions behind the scenes though. As in, how they track the progress flags and attribution for deaths (as seen in Fails of the Weak you can get some bizarre combos).
And to make it worse, something you add later can have unexpected consequences and further complicate the situation. Fixes create more bugs, more content masks the initial problems further, etc. It must be a nightmare to some degree.
The magic of programming. I was amazed that I managed to play through Skyrim without encountering a bug that would force me to start over... I was incredibly lucky.
The Halo campaigns have always been fairly error-free aside from exploits and such that I think people would be a bit miffed if they actually patched out. In Halo 4 I've never had any issues although I know the Lich has it's share of possible issues.

I have my concerns over this halo tv series. Spielberg has had his name related (and over hyped) to tv shows that have just fizzled out in the past.

I think the new rep system is being implemented for just that.
I'm awaiting the abuse of this system.
Going to try Squad DLC again. I really hope the framerate sits above 20 this time round.
The One's rep system is the exact same as the 360's rep system. I literally used it last week to keep Rock Band 3 from matching me with a troll
Whoa. Yes!
I really hope they do more than that and add Co-op Campaign support, even if isn't split-screen. At very least it ought to be online and LAN (same as the multiplayer).
Oh, and 4K support. PLEASE 4K support.
Starts in about an hour from now
Oh, misread that as Seth Rogen for a second there. Imagined him playing Roland :lol
