Do you have any idea how many times Frankie has left?
The best one was when Bobs chased him away.
I love Frankie, he'll be back when he feels the time is right.

They're just "missing whilst patching"
I'm not saying he won't be back. I'm saying let's try not to intentionally piss him off.

Do you really think you think that a Halo Gaf community thread should have a title that sets the tone of sarcasm and snark? I'm not trying to blindly side with Frank, but he has a point. Maturity, a welcoming attitude and just being a fan should be what sets the tone, not a "knock" on something.
Talk about whatever you want and if it happens to be negative than so be it...just wish people tried to go out of their way to be nice around here, especially in their criticisms of a game or one another. I know, that's so uncool right?
But the funny title came later and still got jimmies rustled

I mean, if we're being honest here
I quite like this one.
How about:
|OT| Just Dustin Echoes.
or
|OT| Who the hell is Dustin Echoes?!
The download jokes will only be relevant at launch and they are light-hearted enough. Besides, we'll crank though an OT pretty quickly I'd imagine.
Isn't this the same thread where we were talking about how we missed the pre and post game shit talk?

The first OT will last like 24 hours.
Frankie always gets pissed about something every now and them. I imagine reading any forum where you are the subject would wear on anyone. I'm not here because I desperately want to read Frankies sly hints and half-truths about Halo games, I'm here to discuss Halo. If discussing Halo, the good and the bad, makes Frankie leave, that's a secondary concern.
Sure, it's always cool to interact with a game developer, no matter how distant and guarded it may be. But again, the objectivity of discussion should not be sacrificed to keep anyone happy.

There is something to be said for honesty.

This discussion has gone on way too long and is too meta, let's drop it.

I'm not trying to say we shouldn't criticise Halo 4, hell no. I'd basically never post here if you guys stopped criticising it. I'm saying we shouldn't have inflammatory titles. They only serve to provide a quick laugh to some and to piss off others. There are also much better titles to be had.

It's not objectivity of discussion that's the problem, it's the tone of it. I agree that people shouldn't be expected to sugar coat it, but part of the reason fewer devs hang out on GAF these days is the lack of civility.
Oooooh, yes.
I loved Halo 4. 😢

EDIT:
I've explained, as well as others, why the current motion tracker is not ideal for competitive Halo, and how it causes poor player habits, especially within lesser-skilled players, ultimately leading to boring gameplay (opinion) that doesn't work for competitive play because it limits player movement. How does it limit player movement? Because you have to crouch/walk slow not to be seen, and that's a big limiting factor for a game like Halo where movement (running AND jumping) is important.
I don't think I've ever seen you use an ! lol, so my bad if I somehow upset you. I wanted to point out how my post was subjective since I thought you were making a point that what I was saying is only an opinion. Regarding the matter of "better or worse," you don't see how me saying it gimps a player's progression is a negative? If 100% of your game time is with motion tracker, you'll perform exponentially worse than if your game time was 100% without motion tracker. Common sense? I think so. Anecdotal? Sure. Mutually exclusive? Nope.

Initially, I was going to compare how motion tracker stalls gameplay similar to AA's, but it seems you missed this part:
If you see this as grasping at the world's smallest straws then so be it, but chasing people around rocks is more frustrating then someone pressing pause on their death for a few seconds while I can look elsewhere, nor can that player attack me while doing so. So in essence, motion tracker has the potential to stall gameplay more than Armor Lock.
Not necessarily. That's where the importance of visual feedback comes into play, like teammates' names that appear yellow when they're under fire and red when they're about to die, or however it functioned (you get the idea).
Yes.

Alright, this is cute, I like it.
I support this. #FreeHeckfuMCC |OT|
alright, I lol'd
I mean, the only thing that would make Halo 4 better is if it had ADS.
I'M KIDDING I'M KIDDING I'M KIDDING
Fuck Heckfu, Reach kids like him who signed up just to talk to Frankie is what made this place go in the dumpster.
Some of you newer guys complaining about inflammatory titles and OP's know nothing of the great journey.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection |OT| Cryogen me until the Download is done
Wasn't there a famous review for Halo 4 that basically said, "Halo 4 is a great game, but it's also really bad for a shooter in this modern era because it doesn't even have IRON SIGHTS"?
Seriously like... the state of modern FPSs...
That and permanent Promethean Vision.
I thought 4 was fine.
It'll be good to play it again at 60fps. 4 and 2 (the campaign) are the ones I played least.

i.e. motion tracker.
Well, obviously.
Even beyond it bothering the creator's of it.
It shows newcomers that it's cool and acceptable to come into the OT and bash on Halo.
Save that shit for Gaming side.
Edit: it's for gaming side. Open the flood gates.

The truth hurts and is very difficult to accept sometimes.
I really, really enjoyed Halo 4's campaign.
And on that note, I have something to confess to the class.
Despite playing the shit out of Halo 2's multiplayer, I never actually got round to playing the campaign, so I'm going into this all fresh like a daisy.
Hope it was worth the ten year wait.

Steitzer sounds really weird in this. And the heavy voice filter is unnecessary.
Trying to branch off from the core of the forum is a big no no buddy. Don't get too insular, wouldn't want to see such a solid defense force member go down in flames.
Oh man, you're in for a treat.
Halo 2 is my favourite campaign. Not sure how much of that is nostalgia but I had so much fun playing it with my brother.

When seeing the Halo: Nightfall Sneak peek, I was asking myself why 343i cannot get the comics right. Hire a great artist and do a graphic novel instead of trying to do a ongoing series. Be the first at something is not always the correct way. The best output of a Halo comic had been the graphic novel around 2005 and it is my favourite book to look at. I am happy to own a copy and wish 343i would try another one with their in-house talent.
Nightfall does look incredible. Will the first episode come out on the same day as the MCC?

I feel sorry for him. Halo 2 feels as corridor-ish as Halo 4 did, or worse at some points. But it can hide those facts. I am still enjoying it and it is a better campaign than Halo: Reach, but it feels aged compared to the timeless classic; Halo: CE and Halo 3.
