What's wrong with having killstreaks in firefight? Or powerups?
PvP shouldn't have shit like that, yea. But I think firefight would be fine with it.

He was there way before those postings went up.
Oh I mean I didnt expect it or anything I just threw my name in, I've been told to do that. The technical qualifications really hold me back I really should learn to code or something. Plus I dont have a CS degree. I have a BUAD - advertising degree.
However how does one release a AAA title before working at a AAA game company? I guess I could work my way up to have my MP ideas be embedded into a succesful AAA project from a company that doesnt have that requirement then get hired at 343i. So Halo will be saved in say about 5 years or so!
I think however my great ideas have already been shaping Halo for years now so really I qualify, plus I can perform on a normal amount of oxygen at 24000 feet, so theres that!

They hired folks who worked on SOCOM for the PSP.
The accepted definition of "AAA" is very, very flexible.

First game Team Slayer on Narrows
Apart from the wonky netcode, aiming and feeling like Im underwater...
Man. Having BR ammo even though its AR starts, picking up grenades, no sprint, no perks, no AA's, de-scoping...
And then Live kicks me off half way through.
Halo 3 was a damn fine game in its day.

That shouldn't be in Halo. Not even in only a few playlists.
It'll just snowball from there. Perhaps in customs, but not in any playlist.

How do you go from bashing halo one second to guzzling its mighty loins the next?

cant we all get along and hate 343 and Halo 4 together
Firefight 3.0 which is a mix of ODST style, coupled with Dominion and tower defense style play. You have to actively monitor routes, shield doors, turrets and towers. Could call in a group of ODST's that drop in and arent too powerful but can help when like 4-5 zealots drop etc.
Instead firefight in Reach just became you holed up against a wall or some obscure location potshotting from a distance. Imagine if an AA gun fails on the other side of the map and you need to get there otherwise Pelicans will overrun the map etc. Creates some tension as to how you'll hoof if there on foot.

When they announced 60 fps and dedicated servers all I could think was that it was a PR move specifically targeted at xxjuicesxx.

Just like DMR starts and Mantises on a drab pastel Valhalla remake was for Dax?
Camo + Sniper Arcadefight. Easy-peasy.
The ODSTs on Installation 04 were a really small but welcome glimpse into what you could do (too bad the map was a bad fit for them--they got stuck on the lower levels and killed off too easily--they need locations to hold, really.)
Use an ordnance meter and call in weapons, AAs, target strikes, or drop pods like a FPS version of the Spirit of Fire menu in Halo Wars.
I'm sort of against the idea of making them too elaborate like you suggest just because that might force play on certain maps to only a few options, but just taking the suite of customization Halo 4 offers and applying it to Firefight would be an excellent iterative improvement. Have some maps be more complex-defense driven (like Preserve or ONI Alpha Site, where you have to fall back or just have a large zone to cover), and some more lane-based (like the Alpha Site interior or more classic Firefight scenarios.) Add in customizable Forged objects like turrets and drop zones.
This is always something that perplexes me about most game studios. You'll see it listed for entry positions at places like Microsoft or any EA studio. But for some of the other places like Bungie or Valve, it will only appear in the required section for senior level positions otherwise it's in the "recommended areas of expertise".

So dedicated servers and cloud processing for Xbox One doesn't lead you to think there will be a playlist/features for games larger than 8v8?
That is where I could see things heading for BTB and Scarabs etc.

Dude did not get the memo.
No tweet, no match.
Twitter messages are slightly more reliable than xboxlive messages. Also, they pop up on my phone so I see them sooner.
First time I went into multiplayer, just had a huge wtf that there was no DBNO, all humans, no executions... ugh.
I wasn't a huge fan of GOW multiplayer before, but I did appreciate all of those things it did.

WHY GOD WHY ARE THERE SUCH A AWFUL MANIAC COD PLAYERS!!!!
If i didn't break my console now, I never will.
Adrift.
Party of 4, of course, my team, all around the world with different lag. ALL 4 OF THEM ARE HOLDIGN ONE SNIPER POSITION! TWO SNIPERS ONE NEXT TO THE OTHER CROUCHING WHOLE FUCKING ROUND!!!!!!!!!
I mean WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10 rounds in a row, 10 different parties, EVERYBODY are playing like this! WHY?!
What have they done with this awful maps! Only maps you can play are those from community (Schyte, Opus etc etc...). Maps are like they are made for COD not for Halo! Who the fuck is in charge of Halo MP part of developement! Every day lesser and lesser players, barely 10k in all playlists combined!
Now Haven, all camping in place where snipers' spawning... i had 30 kills, second 10kills.. All round camping and waiting for ordinance drops!
As time passes by, game is more awful to play... I just cant belive it.

Why continue playing?
I think that we're long past the point of playing a game you don't like in hope that it will get better with updates.
does that make sense? I dunno. Game isn't going to get better, so why bother?

^its not only me.. Halo 4 MP stats speaks for itself. And don't call me son.
I really have no idea. Probably because there's nothing similar to play on X360...
And its not like i don't like it. I like the game very much. I'm into MP of Halo (and generally halo games, have all Limited Ed) since Halo CE, but this is just tipping point, this is totally different than anything. It's frustrating, players make it this way because developers let them to do that. Literally like with CoD. Game is rewarding camping and that's it. You can camp, get ordinance drops, and you really don't need to move.
I watched a lot of tournaments, and of course, gameplay is not even close to this. I would really love if people could play like that, free and in a spirit of objective of the mode. They're not holding objective, guarding flag or something. It's team deathmatch and people are camping, other team rushing into them, get slaughtered by bombs etc etc and over and over again...
In ~ 10 rounds, i have like 3 max 4 good/mediocre games. It's not about the score, I'm almost always first in my team, no matter if i lose or win, with good k/d ratio, its about enjoyment that Halo was since begining. Fun and good MP, fast paced and interesting.
Not this
Only way to have normal rounds is to play with someone you know, I really don't see other solution.
Their weapon tuning is hit and miss (more miss) and they are just ruining the game, slowly but surely... I really don't know why. Reach was awesome comparing to this one. There were campers, but not like this. Since last weapon tuning and map tuning, its awful.
I would really love if Halo is just Halo, with great maps and good gameplay and good community. Newcomers destroyed everything. 343 helped them.

GOOD MORNING SON
Yeah, I feel like it's Gears 3 was the peak of the series in terms of both Campaign and MP. Gears 2 would've been alright if it hadn't been laggy as fuck. Overall I enjoy(ed) Gears 3 a ton, if you ever want to play it hit me up because I love that game to death and play it every so often (I do have the Season Pass, also)
When I played Judgment at a friends house I was like hell no, humans vs humans, Promethean Vision Grenades, the removal of fucking DBNO (a staple of the series).
I really hope that it isn't really the start of a new trilogy as rumored.

You can Blame Quinn Del Hoyo for most of the multiplayer decisions on Judgement. and now he is working on Halo... Great
Really? I thought he worked on 2 (maybe) & 3? Was he a part of People Can Fly or did PCF get help from Epic and he was involved there?
Damn, this is worrying since I felt like someone who was involved with 3 would be alright.

Play Shadowrun, if you try to camp in that game you will get destroyed every round guaranteed.
