if you request features that should be reasonable for a game with one of the highest budgets ever allotted to a videogame in a decade-old series that would improve player retention then you're basically saying that you want to walk into 343 and steal money right out of the developers' pockets and are an entitled piece of shit
That 2-flag setup on Haven makes no sense.

Sweet, I won't understand the spoilers.
Haha. Will do. I was writing out the Javadoc for it last night, so it would be a bit more readable. But then I got distracted with Borderlands 2. lol PM me your email so I can zip up the files and send them. It'll probably be in an hour or so when I'm at a computer whose mail program isn't butt.
Also OT, I got a pair of tickets for my dad and I to go to the Cyclone football game tonight. I don't suppose there will be a certain Deadly presence there.

I think you are being sarcastic, I hope you are being sarcastic, but not sure if serious. I pretty much agree with everything kyle is saying but that isnt going to surprise anyone here 8)

I like how all three needlers are being ignored in that Spanish stream.

i know right lol, like they clearly set it to make all the ordnance needler only, then nobody picks it up, why not just disable it?
silly spaniards
Flagnum looks awesome, so much for it being a blooming piece of shit
haven is a really really good map
i'm sure i'm not the first to do this, nor the best, but i think it turned out quite well. happy haloween.

That also would be awesome.. Man, FF had so much potential to evolve.. I do hope it comes back with oopmh. Im pumped for SpOps, but I think a sruvival mode has its place along side it.
Yeah, I agree responding to the leaks isn't the best habit. The again, the week theater was cut from SP we should have known.. I really can't understand them not sharing that incredibly vital detail.
Cool thanks.
To be honest, Im surprised the Needler still exist in MM the way it does. They always want it to be a sub power weapon, but it usually is very hit or miss. Im surprised they haven't made a heavy Needler variant with MM in mind.. Make it extremely deadly, but once you pull the trigger you are dedicated to shooting the entire clip or something. Keep the old school needler in the game, but mainly for SP.

I will =(
This just makes all of the "PV isn't useful because of radar!" posts way more hilarious. Guy can see people across the entire map, end to end, through walls with no radar for the enemy team to give them the sonar ping and give away his location (even if it didn't show enemies, just PV users' pings). The only thing stopping people from using it constantly is opportunity cost for other armor abilities. The concept of stealth seems like it might just not exist anymore against a good team of mixed AAs.
The flag setup for Haven is pretty funny. Doesn't seem like most of the maps are really symmetrical with how they're set up - the Haven team "bases" being radically different, one of Longbow's bases merges into a cliff, cutting off that bases' roof, while the other can be walked around and on top of freely, the lift on Solace looks like it's closer to one sniper ledge than the other. I've seen a video of a guy using that lift to bounce up from the middle level to the snipe ledge, but if you look on that stream, red team's side has a fat piece of geometry in the way, which means that wouldn't be possible on that side without smacking into it. Wonder how much it'll actually impact gameplay. I can't imagine it'll be a huge deal, but even a few instances of that disadvantage being abused would be frustrating.
thanks
they already have the ability to use FUCK as a callout tag???
There are no checks when you are offline, pretty sure you can play Reach offline and use FUCK too.
The needler is inherently broken. It's either ridiculously overpowered or completely worthless. It looks like Halo 4 went the ridiculously overpowered route, which is why its an ordnance weapon now.
I'm wondering this aswell. Do they only have DMR at the beginning and need to unlock the BR? Custom loadouts, wouldn't work well, for tournaments, I guess.

Well, its great in SP, but I agree that something has always felt a bit off about it in MP.. They really just need to make a true power weapon variation of the weapon that has the smaller amount of kills per weapon and more limited yet effective use.

The key is to memorise the encounters. Shotgun, magnum and frags are all you need. Spam frags and magnum at range, tossing nades the moment the magnum animation finishes will help you keep dishing out the maximum damage.

Didn't Frankie or 343i say that everything was unlocked on lan. Maybe I'm losing it but I hope it goes that way.
SP I have no issue with it. In MP though, the player really has very little control over whether or not it hits. You either make it so that players can avoid it, and it becomes pretty worthless, or you make it so they can't and it becomes way overpowered. I would like to see the projectile speed increase a lot but make the needlers follow the reticle, so that the player at least needs to aim to land hits.
And it makes sense too. Makes me wish the old needlers had the same treatment.

That actually seems like it would work.. They retain some basic form of homing, but you need to lead em, and if you don't they will go wayward. Hm. I like that. It would also make the gun a little more interactive and rewarding to use.
To be clear, I like the Needler and obviously haven't used it in Halo 4, but I do agree it has never been quite right.

One of Halo's iconic weapons is inherently broken, remove it from every playlist!
Have you ever used it? It burns through ammo so fast, you barely have enough for three kills.
Bah. Yes. Goddam.
What? His point is rock solid.
That's what she said.
Going back to Halo 3, I had forgotten how powerful the needler was, I felt like I hardly had to aim and kids were exploding all over the show.
Thank goodness for that.
Thank goodness for that.

Well that's a relief, it would be nice if armor was unlocked for customs aswell.
Exactly what i was doing. But this Flood fired the Rocket when it died... and the rocket hit the wall behind me. From 50 meters away.
Pistola got an account?
No but you're warm.
Chig.
Oh, I thought you were randomly praising yourself so I was indirectly hinting that there's no way you're undisputedly the best player here, to mess with you.
And I (and probably many others) only consider halogaffers people who use this place almost exclusively or at least way more than other communities, not everyone who has an account and does the occasional drive-by, so you're still tops brah.
