That just proves they actually need to advertise those features because people actually do care n people don't follow halo developments all day.

When you die in 1.2 seconds from across the map and get 1 shot from everything else, you need 60fps

Can't wait for 343 to fuck up and lock keyframed animations at 30FPS and somehow make the campaign explode day one.

Or somehow, Forge maps are locked at 30 fps

Not totally related, but I was playing split screen online the other week for the first time, and on Forge maps the frame rate went absolutely to shit. On built in maps it was pretty normal, obviously much better.
Wtf? I guess I haven't played much split screen since 3, but I don't remember the FPS on Forge maps being a problem there. Any insight? It was basically unplayable (and split screen already messes up the axes so it's hard enough as it is lol)
Edit:
Damn I meant to watch!!

343 has not fixed anything related to Forge's Framerate problems. I get framedrops when i play ThrowDown or any playlist that uses mostly forge maps. its ridiculous.
maybe the devs should spend more time on their own game, than playing CoD or other competitors. But hey, they need to take ideas and implement them poorly from somewhere right.

Damn that's pitiful. If I still had a roommate this wouldn't be our main, simple as that. (not my main anymore either though)
343 streaming gameplay live from SDCC.
Quinn just said Vertigo plays like "a combination of Lockout and Abandon."
Kill me now.

I actually like Abandon a lot :3
Maybe because I like FFA best and it's pretty good for that
Edit: Ehhhh the gameplay in that stream is cool but geez the commentators are so fail. I think he's making up horrible words like "teamnade" and "flagsisteal-kill"
They're trying way too hard, nobody's figured out quite how to commentate and/or display multiplayer video games yet. (I do really like the call of the famous Daigo SF match though)

He did a ton of work with H4Turbo. That shit turned out great

Yes changing the BR to 4 shot like Halo has always been must have been tough!
Unfortunately the AR buff was too much and turbo settings are basically a failure. Well in terms of bringing players back to MP.
Regardless, he helped clean up a large mess he didn't make. I'm not saying he's some sort of savior but he's done a lot for Halo 4.

If he did ALOT Halo would be in better shape. We need great ideas infused into Halo daily to get those low numbers to ramp up high enough that Halo becomes the game to play.
At this point it's very unlikely.
Halo would need to recapture the fun feeling of Halo 3 to get that, and with 343's "vision", that doesn't really seem to be happening.
We could argue all day about how much he's done, that doesn't really matter. I definitely agree with you though that it's not enough from 343 to get the population to start to climb rather than continue to decline. Still somehow after all these years across 2 studios, it takes months for playlists to update. I really think the matchmaking team is too small. Matchmaking management is so insanely important.

nah I really don't want another shitty utility weapon. Let's not look to Halo 3 for inspiration.

Juices, you could replace Frankie and Halo's still going to be at a 25,000-a-day peak. Microsoft isn't just some mamby pamby company that's waiting for The Chosen One to come along and make everything alright. You don't get a surplus of 5 billion US dollars by kissing babies and making people come back for the sequel of a 12-year-old franchise. If you got sucked into the corporate maelstrom, 343 would serve you a giant, stinking shit sandwich. If you wanted to even try to get things back to the way they were, you'd pick it up, take a bite, and like it. That's just the state Halo's in now, and it'll be a while before that changes.

Like telling the competitive community to go fuck itself on twitter or advising Ghost against using NS before his change of heart?
I think MS and 343 don't respect their multiplayer like a lot of studios do, Blizzard, Riot, Valve, Treyarch, all spend some serious time and resources to make their MP relevant and constantly improving.
It seems like Halo has always just been a little bit of post-release sustain, then just huge effort into the next big Campaign and engine. Treating the MP as second fiddle and not investing enough talent and resources into it. It's obvious that it isn't a priority, and that needs to change or else Halo will just be marketed for the first two weeks of front loaded sales, then status quo until the next Halo is announced.

Hopefully 343 gives Waypoint CMotWs early codes for this like for Castle. I want to mess around with Forge on the maps before they're released.
Also, I'm seeing a severe lack of #HireJuices in the chat.

Nice to see xbla codes in the twitch chat, a shame I'm on my mobile and iPad watching in bed.
What bothers me is that they are sitting on these new maps and features for another 4 weeks yet its all on the live service ready to go.
Whyyyyyy

Got a link to this one?
Still doesn't change what he's done though. Not denying what you've said but it's not like it cancels out changes to the game.

It was on twitter about two months ago.
changes like an un-needed AR/Saw buff. And no change to the inconsistent spread or randomness in the BR?

What is it exactly that Quinn has done for Halo? You say it's a lot of things, so I'm genuinely curious as to what they are.

Jetpacks FTW
seriously though I love the jetpack, shouldn't be in Pro, but I love itDebatable
I can't say hi to Jess?
I said a lot, not a lot of things. H4Turbo is a huge one however.
Yo, no complaining about the jetpacks, only positivity, thanks.
My tag has nothing to do with EA, Tiburon Apologist woulda been better.
Debatable, Tashi? C'mon son. The SAW is free kills now, goes against everything a power weapon in Halo is, there is no risk to using,your enemy is fucked.
Totally what I said, and intended. Thanks for pointing it out so succinctly.
So I went and played Halo 4 for about 4 or 5 hours today, talked to probably around a hundred people since most people in lobbies I was in had people with mics in them, and I asked/talked to them about the new map pack coming and the update with perks.
A majority of them didn't even know that a map pack was coming, which is odd to me since it was advertised in the dashboard under a tile labeled something about Halo 4, some knew about it but didn't know about the update, when I told them about the two perks we know about so far (Vehicle Ejection and Shield Recharge time decrease) the reactions were mostly negative.
This is not good.

Predictably gross, have you played it yet? You should prolly give it a chance before you shit on it!!

Why even go that far? Let's just stick to keeping calm and drive-by "you guys are some negative shitheads, you make me sick" one-liners.
Your anecdotal evidence is appreciated, but with thorough focus testing and internal 343 testing, we have decided this is the proper course for the future for Halo.
Thank you for your input, the Champions Bundle will be releasing soon for 800 MS points.
