Halo 4 BTB and run them over with a vehicle. I don't think it counted as a betrayal at launch, but I might be wrong.

Yep. The modern shooter crowd likes having the gun obstructing the middle of the screen when they zoom, of course 343 would include (mostly cosmetic) ADS. They could also add an option to use classic scopes, but nope, that's too much work, apparently.
At this rate I won't be surprised to see them adding actual ADS (with slower movement and awful hip fire accuracy) in Halo 6. Just wait till that Metro UK reviewer (or whoever it was who critiziced Halo 4 for not having ADS) starts complaining about Halo 5 having fake ADS instead of actual ADS. "What is this? No hip fire accuracy penalty? No movement speed penalty when aiming? In 2015? Get on with the times 343!" LOL.
Halo 5 is the perfect time to put friendly fire back on, because with spartan chatter, you'd hear them say 'watch your nade spam' which is enough of an indicator to users that you're damaging your own teammates and to be careful. It doesn't mean anything if your grenades or rockets or bullets aren't affecting them.
You underestimate my power!
Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wiiiiise?

Friendly fire should stay off because I don't trust random teammates. People spam nades not because they know it won't hurt you, but because they just don't give a shit. It can be turned on in ranked/hardcore playlists where teams would actually use the lack of FF to their advantage (e.g. calling for a grenade toss into a close quarters situation).

MCC still a shit fest. Had two dead BTB search lobbies that went on indefinitely, a BTB match up that attempted to set up a 6v5 then crumbled before the map load, a BTB game where I couldn't vote and a 4v3 on High ground.

Sooner you stop caring, the sooner you'll be happier. Not even trying to troll or be sarcastic or anything.
I love Halo but I gave up, haven't even downloaded the most recent "big patch". Saves me a lot of aggravation and stress. Now I'm just focusing on IRL priorities and Bloodborne soon.
MAYBE, if this new patch adds ranks, some much needed better playlist options, and some improvements to parties/MMing, I'll think about playing again.
Till then it feels nice not having to get angry playing video games.
Just wanted to say that since I always see you get so frustrated w/ the game. It's just not worth it.
You shoulda took that refund and ran a long time ago!
Tawpgun is pleased with the MCC's progress, however.
MCC playability varies by region. Australians and Asians suffer with lower populations while the worst experience (stability wise) in the US I've had is unbalanced teams once in every 10+ games and unable to load H3 maps randomly. I'm finding games in every playlist fine. Just the other stuff we need now and fixes to H3.

Only play the game a few nights a week, I don't play other games. By now I'm obviously not surprised or particularly pissed off when any of the aforementioned happens but it's worth reporting when the game is malfunctioning in ways I thought the latest patch had remedied. I thought long search times were a thing of the past but they're rearing their head again.
Dat physical buyers remorse.
Ah, yeah, I get ya.
I would love to come back for ranks and such, would be a nice thing to play on the occasional night and after drinking and such.
Hopefully this next patch will really work wonders, but I won't hold my breath. There's just so many small things fucked up beyond the technical aspects (settings, weapons, spawns, etc for each game) that at this point I don't think we'll see a fully realized package probably ever.
343 needs to finish working on the remake of ONI with a bundled sequel.

Glorious betrayals have been had when a Warthog would fly in front of my rocket Launcher.

I can't imagine those kinds of betrayals going away.

Multiple, Johnson spawns?
I tried BTB last weekend to see if the game worked there and could never find anyone. How's that now? All the smaller gametypes work great though.
You don't think ...pfft naaah. There's no way they'd do that.
They are amazing in their own horrible way
I'd ______ for ranks. Then I'm down to start playing again.
I'd get on again for some Clique hosted THROWDOWNS though...
Soon TM
Think I only played like 3 BTB games since the good patch. Worked ok from what I remember. I don't play it much though I stick to the smaller ones.
I don't really either, just wanted to see if the game was able to handle the higher playercounts and it seemingly couldn't. Hilarious that H2 was the posterboy for Xbox Live and ten years later XBL/Halo functions much worse.
Tashi, hire this man.
Yup, it's at least playable now, now that I can consistently find games I play this game far more than anything else I own. The biggest issue is quitters.

Oh yeah? It runs, but it won't drive into my friend's neighborhood when the block party has already started. And the radio won't tune into stations like pin the tail on Halo 3 CTF or Spin the Griffball. Nobody in the car gets to talk to each other unless you get on the group call on the party line!

If Spartan Strike is set during the events of Halo 2, what are Spartan IVs (including Armor Abilities) and Prometheans doing there?

It's not set during the events of Halo 2. Or not exclusively, anyway. It's a simulation for the most part, IIRC.
Yeah but it lets me dong which is why I bought the car in the first place.
I just want to get some of the old crew back together. All we did in reach is go into matchmaking and cleanse people. Game operates at a level where I can do that now. H2A is also ranked and supports 5 people so you can think of it as a ranked squad slayer!
Has anyone else had their screenshots under Local Files vanish? (Does anyone else take screenshots?) I'm the kind of guy to have a lot of fun with a friend and want to take screenshots from the level to commemorate it. Especially when its my brother visiting from overseas and we get to play Halo together for the first time since 2007. I spent hours going through the multiplayer matches finding great shots of the both of us in action. But now 40 odd files have just gone. Absolutely gutted if this is permanent.
