20 days until I can finally see Halo 4. I'm hyped.

Don't.
If you like a survival-y experience with RPG character progression and midmatch objectives, you'll like this.
Would like these objective changes in Halo 4 Firefight, please.

I would expect there to be one at least at the same time.
Do you have Battlefield 3 with an online pass? If you don't, you're stuck waiting until the 17th to play the multiplayer side of it.
-Make everything TU
-Remove Anniversary Squad
-Remove Arena, add Arena ranks to MLG
-Remove Zero Bloom Slayer, go play MLG you scrub
-Make Squad Slayer 4v4, call it Team Slayer and remove the original Team Slayer playlist.
-Add Community Slayer with shitty Forge maps
-Remove (or replace with Falcon) Banshees from all maps
-Make Squad DLC objective only
-Make Multi-Team 2v2v2v2v2v2 again
-Remove Evade from all playlists except Invasion, Big Team and Squad DLC
-Remove Action Sack, Grifball and Living Dead. Create a weekend playlist with double credits payouts with gametypes from previously mentioned removed playlists
-Let Ghaleon do whatever he wants with the Firefight playlists
-Release Halo 4 already
What matchmaking will look like:
Anniversary not having all Reach MP maps sucks by the way.
This would probably be a step in the right direction.

They need to just make TU universal and remove the TU name from everything. TU should be standard.

Managed to get Anniversery new for 20 dollars. Time to see if it's as good a remake as it's been made out to be.

I thought you disliked the TU? Or do you just dislike the lack of consistency in matchmaking?
I dislike the TU but this cool uncle indecisive stuff needs to end. Push their TU into everything (minus Invasion) and stand behind their update, and eat the losses from people that stop playing over it. "Vanilla Reach is still around" is a farce at this point (two non-fringe lists left, one if the Slayer vote goes in favor of TU). They tried to be inoffensive to any portion of the playerbase with this update, but after losing most of the Vanilla lists to the TU now, they're doing a pretty good job of pissing the Vanilla base off. It's worse when you've been promised something and it's taken away. They should have just said "this is how Reach is going to play now".
Bungie had to stand behind their Halo 2 1.1 update and Halo 3 1.1 update and weather the player loss and criticism, 343 should do the same. If you don't want to then don't update the damn game.

Saw this posted on HBO and though maybe a few people on here might be interested in helping out.

I've personally been wanting to see this happen for a while.

I just found out I was born at 3:43 am. All the more reason to share Halo 4 news today before the day ends?
With such driving innovation as showing extra clips on players, where do I sign up?

Hehe, I thought that was kinda of a silly example myself. I'm more interested in the realization of stuff from the FoR in game form.
I will probably end up doing that also.
u rite
I'm assuming the 4 reveal is gonna be SP, which I don't really care about unless it's massively different. I'd be happy to be wrong and see MP though.

I'd say we will get a glimpse of whatever new mechanic they'll introduce to both SP and MP.
Sorry, but who is Hey You and what are his opinions?
True. But DAT BR.

Four...D...Halo 4! Of course!
Please the majority, not the minority.
Yeah but a lot of people are objectively BKs and I don't want them ruining Halo for us all-star players.

Some guy here that thinks that Evade should be in MORE playlists. Best to just ignore it.

Seriously, the fat needs to be cut and the option to play exactly what you want needs to be there.
Also, drop in drop out for social.

That's what I hate about CoD.
No, I do not wish to play someone elses sloppy seconds.

I'm talking about just for social. Ranked would stay the way it is, and rightly so. But social should keep people coming if people drop. Nothing worse than being in a match where everyone quit but you have to finish it out, no matter which side you're on.
Social by nature is just for fun. Ranked is for the "serious business." So if people quit in ranked their team suffers and gets shit on. Social should not be subject to that.

I hate that garbage in CoD.

Exactly. Halo does not need drop in, drop out. Even if it is for social.
I see it working fine in large-player-count FFA. However, you'd have to drop the concept of per-game stats for DO/DO playlists.
Why the negativity and shitty COD examples?? People would be able to opt out of joining games in progress, of course.
I'd really like the possibility of instantly jumping into games in progress to help out, or knowing that there's a chance someone might join my uneven game and make it even again.

Or simply have separate ranking systems/leader boards like many games have.

The only way drop in/drop out should be in the game is if there is a custom game browser list. It should not be in matchmaking.
Because playing BTB where half the team quits out in the first minute is SO FUN.
And don't you dare quit, because we'll ban you from the next amazing MM experience.

Of course I have the best shooter since Halo 2.
*shots fired*
Agreed 100 percent.
I'd love to see MP, but I'd bet money that SP is what we see.
Just out of curiosity, how crushed will you be if there isn't the BR in Halo 4?
It would be nice at least if there was some recourse for players in your party rejoining a game after losing connection instead of twiddling their thumbs for the next 17 minutes while the rest of the party finishes out the game. Just block them from rejoining after they've been gone a certain amount of time or if x amount of time is left in the game so people can't open a game 4-0, have 3 guys quit out and one go HLG until 10 seconds are left.
3 minutes to rejoin and no rejoining in the last 4 minutes of a game sound about right to me. Make it a separate playlist flag so you can back it out or tweak it post launch if need be.
Nice to see you've picked up Perfect Dark XBLA
I'm not sure if you completely understand what he said.
Pretty sad (and confused by the retcon).
But I'm open to something new and awesome as long as it has visual and audio feedback that fulfills me like the CE pistol and the H2/3 BR did. The DMR was never quite there for me, no even with the locked reticule in zerobloom.
Now Sprint being there as it is in Reach, destroying speed, maneuverability and freedom again, would crush me completely.
