Totes worth losing campaign theater. I mean what a rush.

Anyone up for some MCC custom action? Send me a message on XBL if you want to join. Gamertag = RowdyReverb
Most likely no then. 343 aren't exactly known to give us options. It seems if you want to zoom, you have to have the scope/iron sights pop up then. I wonder if you'd be at a disadvantage or an advantage using classic zoom instead of iron sights as well.
You can play Tartarus more than 1 way. You can't play the same 3 buttons any differently.
Cross-posting this from the gaming side thread:
Aside from the silly justification for sprint, I'm fine with what he said. I appreciate that he took the time to sit down and address one of the Halo communities. I'm sure that everything they've designed thus far will stay in the final game but I hope they really do listen to fan opinions during the beta and adjust the game as needed. I'm fine with more mobility options but they will likely have to be tweaked before launch.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if we get the option in H5, and what with Frankie talking about how one of the lessons they've learned is the importance of customization, I'm hopeful. However I'm not going to expect it. Just gonna keep emphasizing in the beta feedback how important an option for it is.

Didn't cortana turn herself into a bridge?
Nah the bridge was already there. She just used it to make a bunch of mini mes. So technically she was made from the bridge but she wasn't a bridge.

Yeah, but none of those ways are fun :|

I would love to eat my own words on this but I think that the chances of them putting in a classic scope option is pretty much zero. Its way more likely that 343 is lying and just trying to mollify the fan base. edit: lying is probably too harsh. I really do hope I'm wrong and they add in classic scope.
How's that been working out for them? The last two halo games have tried to appeal to wider demographics and halo 4 was completely dead only a few months after it launched.
The best multiplayer games of all time have never been focused on the casual consumer. Dota, quake, starcraft, cs 1.6, street fighter etc all had incredibly high skill ceilings with nothing in the way of tutorials. And guess what? They're still the most popular games in the world. If you provide a solid matchmaking experience, dedicated servers, and other features like file share, people will want to play for the sake of ranking up and getting better at the game.
I find it pretty hilarious that 343 seems so focused on pushing the esport aspect of their games while simultaneously forcing sprint and armor abilities onto people, something the competitive community never has and never will ask for. And now aim down sight? Cmon...
All of these games are still so popular even a decade after they were made (except quake rip). You can keep popping out stinky turds like reach and halo 4 but eventually people are just going to decide that buying an xbox for halo just isnt worth it these days.

Oh, what's that? Can't find a game in 10 minutes of searching in H2A? Better go check SWAT.
Get dumped into Warlock. And destroyed by a terrible spawn system where you die seven times in a row without pushing your thumbstick forward.
Then get put into SWAT CTF on Pitfall with a team of three split-screen guys who think it's death match and don't know how to defend.
Fucking ridiculous. I didn't want to play any games tonight anyway /sarcasm

*sigh*
I agree that changing or adding things because they are popular is dumb. I think that if you change something it should because you think it'd be a really great thing for your game to have.

That's... impressively silly, but still not what I'd typically call fun
Hitting 3 buttons is fun though?

No, but at least it doesn't take as long.

Ha I use the Banshee one normally but this is cool.
You won't like it.
Busch Light because I'd rather spend less money on beer that's basically the same taste as Bud Light, it's brewed by same brewer. Before that Busch Light tonight, I had six Texas Alamo beers, it's brewed in Texas, and oh so good.
There are better ways to handle criticism than manbaby shitfits. I never thought I'd see the day where we had a poster exemplifying one of my .gifs 1:1, and yet, here we are:
I know you read the Bnet weekly update about the BR, and obviously you know my past posts on Bnet (probably MLG too, and maybe even listened to my Gamers Corner Podcast) about the fucking H3 BR crap...so I really do not care that you want to ignore my posts. If you're going to deny Halo 3 was a shitty designed game with Bungie outright acknowledging it...then knock yourself out.
EDIT: by the way, my argument was with Lukems, had nothing to do with Stinkles. So pleas don't bring him into this.
Allegedly!
Thank you Booshka. Someone see's the light.
Texas is a great place for beer.
Wurstfest here in town (New Braunfels) was a ton of fun this year.

Since it seems like Elites might be playable again. I hope they'll aesthetically be more like Reach's, I liked them.
While I know those were splinter rejects in H4, they still looked like GeOW rejects.
If Elites aren't playable, surely we'll egg someones house.

As long as you know the differenceyou know what i mean
A lot of my best friends were met through Halo. It's one of the greatest series ever.
I miss when Bungie was cool
I'll check out the Alamo beers thanks

Sprint isn't going anywhere.
Doesn't make it any less of a shitty mechanic.
Scust at those saying "it's not that bad!" smh

Yeah. Can't wait for release actually, just from beta testing standpoint. It's one thing having their internal studio playing. Quite another once over a million have 3 weeks to mess around, learn tricks, basically use and abuse all the new mechanics. I hope it goes off without a hitch, because I'll probably be on every day playing.
I'm honestly super interested in seeing how it affects MCC numbers and population. I'm sure we'll see a big spike then because of Christmas anyway, but I'm still excited.
If it's working separate from MCC and the issues are not something studio/server related, I expect probably almost 90% to move to Halo 5. Look how many of us still have issues with joining, rosters not showing up, crashes etc.
If I can jump into Halo 5 with a friend or cousin, and it's dedicated servers, I'd probably not touch MCC once in those 3 weeks. That time will go by quick too. I hope with the PR and articles leading up to Halo 5, they do some MCC advertising, get some people back. Naturally we'll see a huge increase in users for holidays and Christmas. I don't know about once beta is over, especially if issues persist.
I HAD A FULL INCINERATION CANNON
This is what it's like to play CE.

Why do people vote for this shit in any gametype. Until they fix it (well, if), CE is completely unplayable.
