Mongoose is already fast and vunerable enough. I can see what you mean though.

This may be the greatest critique of the game ever.
Didn't they already do that with Reach?
Lol you sure know what is fact and what is fiction!
Microsofts console plan was to build it for digital distribution. That IS the future. But it requires a transition, which is why discs are still available and why people are making a big deal about it. I made a big deal about not being able to share games before I realized I would probably not even have discs.
Both consoles have Day 1 digital download. That is what I'll be using. And because of this, microsofts sharing policies are better for me than ps4's which doesn't have a sharing program for digital games.
Unfortunately Microsoft's policies fuck over disc users. They should have had separate policies for discs. That was microsofts mistake along with some shitty pr

ODST? Halo Wars? Books?
John is the man but they could go further into the universe in the primary games.

1+1=2 indeed. Never thought of it that way, but it definitely is relevant. And true to boot!
His logic is undeniable.
They could also retcon the faceless Noble Six's death and save themselves the trouble of fumbling their way through another attempt at decent characterization. Just let the player fill in the gaps in dialogue by yelling into the Kinect during cutscenes. Make the character more dynamic, as Kevin Franklin would say. I'm calling it emergent characterization.
If juices ever gets that job tell him to hire me.
Probably. A disc-only policy and a digital-only policy would have been a bit more confusing but then it would essentially be like Steam; people would still go apeshit but they'd have less standing to do so.
Yeah, but it wasn't the gangbuster seller that was Halo 4, "Return of the Master Chief", etc. ODST was a side expansion, etc.
You mention the bullshit sales site That Must Not Be Named on NeoGAF. Short is: their numbers are often made up or less accurate than a guess. Sadly NPD makes it hard to get solid numbers any more, so we kind of have to synthesize rather than hard numbers.
Halo 4 made way more money in its first weeks than Reach, despite having less expensive SKUs, and it sold more in the first month (5m to 4.7mil according to Gamasutra). I think it's reasonable to assume Halo 4 trailed off heavily, but my money is still on it being Halo 3 > Halo 4 > Halo Reach in terms of sales.
So you don't have total numbers for either one, but you're assuming Halo 4's were better because of reasons.
Why are your made up estimates more reliable than the numbers I linked? What's your threshold for "selling like gangbusters?" What makes you think the gulf between the two games is that vast when the first month sales difference, according to you according to Gamasutra, was only 400K?

Because VGC is well known for being way off, as in the realm of millions of copies, and them quietly adjusting their numbers when real figures get out. Whatever their "method", it apparently rarely works. Im at least giving a method. Not also that waay more people were playing Halo 4 than Reach according to Raptr, suggesting way more people buying.

The gametypes in Majestic DLC don't seem to lend themselves well to achievements.
Most of the gametypes have either no personal ordnance, no jetpacks(loadouts), are on skyline which reduces the likely hood of people scoping because its a small map or a mix of the above.

I played some SpOps to help get me used to the new Sabertooth controller (those bottom triggers, omg), realized how much even the later episodes suck, got frustrated and shut down.Missed you last night. You were likely the key to fracas/franklin not getting host.

You could have, you know, played with a group. Like the one that was inviting you to play...
Anything would be better than what we got.

That's my bad, didn't realize my notifications are still off (had them off to do some capturing) so I had no idea anyone sent me any invites. May be on tonight if you are.
Let me start by saying that Bumper Jumpers in SWAT are using the game's built-in systems, in a perfectly legal and viable manner. They are using legitimate functionality and technique to play a very specific mode, in a very specific way.
When they do this as a team, the results are impressively one-sided. They can achieve excellent results as players from non bumper jumper teams scramble to adjust to this new aerial threat.
But let me also say this:
YOU SCUM THIS IS HALO NOT SMASH BROTHERS

Yes, but there is a difference between rounding a corner and engaging in a frantic four or five shot engagement, and rounding a corner and seeing a pair of shoes at ceiling height an instant before you are dead.
THAT'S HIM THAT'S THE GUY!!!!!1
you only watch that for the dutch aspect. gross.
It is this kind of anti-Bumper Jumper agenda that made it so I can't have the layout I really want. I had to switch to Recon for Halo 4, although now I've defaulted back to bumper jumper. I totally do this in SWAT and it completely doesn't help me.
'murica.
If you made the aim assist lower and strafe faster, grounded players would have a greater advantage.
Just sayin.

I have a sneaking suspicion that vertical sensitivity could help with this.
Also, lrn2bunnyhop. FPS basics, yo.

Yes zoning out and not consiciously thinking about what you are doing is the only way to make Halo 4 fun.

So what's the verdict? High or low sensitivity? I go low, as that's what I heard some of the better players use. Seems to work alright. Helps when strafe-aiming.

It depends on if you're a person that shoves your right stick all the way, every time. I tend to use smaller adjustments much of the time. I only play on a 4, but my MLG controller has a high natural sensitivity. Used to play on higher on previous halos. If possible, you want to have as much of your aiming come from your player movement, not your reticule movement. If you find something that works, use it until you feel it doesn't.
I was refering to having the ability to adjust vertical sensitivity in the post you quoted.
