What difficulty are you on? Reach Normal, the highest ranking Elites wouldn't die from a stick; Reach Legendary, no Elite would die from a stick w/full shields.

This is a map issue. Flood/Infection maps should force people to move, majority of cover and nearly all chokepoints (unless they can be flanked easily) should be blocked or removed.
EDIT ideally, a zombies map would force the humans move periodically, for example if the zombies destroy all cover.
Just switched to the twitch stream. Night and fucking day.

I think it really could legitimately speed up gameplay with Halo 4's sandbox.
Just heroic
Blast radius is super tiny too... Grenades placed near enemies doesn't have the crowd control effect it used to
Oh and... Jackal shields are now the most powerful defenses on the planet... This game is pretty damn tough so far on heroic... But that might be because I'm not entirely used to it yet... It feels so different than the other halo games
It was a high ranking elite though, that's for sure

Select the halo stream from there instead, that way you don't get a chat window

That MLG stream is ridiculous.
The screen plays normally for five seconds, and then goes completely black while leaving full sound. WTF?

Where is normal FFA in matchmaking.
Halo CE? Projectile weapons cannot practically collapse those, though the Jackals do flinch.
In later Halos, the shields were a joke really, the "hole" in them was large enough to make neutralizing Jackals trivial. In Halo CE they weren't quite so easy... if you don't count the stupid, predictable AI...
5+ seconds of sustained ghost fire didn't collapse a jackals shield
Funny thing is I find halo CE to have the easiest jackal control of all of them

You should stick around more often, you have a lot to catch up on.

IDK if this was mentioned, but Kevin Franklin also mentioned a Custom Games playlist during that first interview, if I'm not mistaken.

Good thing the shield is finally a worthy foe.
Halo 2's and 3's Jackals are far easier. One shot at the "hole" and one to head and they're dead. Same with Reach, though in Reach the hole is on the other side.
But that said, Halo CE Jackals are still easy to kill.

I'll be around when it hits but this thread moves way too quick.
I mean, I don't particularly care for FFA in Halo, but if Regicide is just a casual (read: bad) variant of it so it doesn't make a lot of sense it replacing the classic, competitive mode.
I wonder if they'll stick to having only one gametype per playlist, it's nice knowing what you'll be playing but it also means that if they want to add gametypes they'll have to create completely new playlist for it.

Anyone else find it annoying the players on red team have their names labeled "blue team" and vice versa?

I just don't get the hate for Regicide. It's practically the same thing as FFA, weighted against the leader. Which is how FFAs should play, but people are too stupid to recognize checking the leader is in everyone's interest. There's nothing more annoying than trying to oust an entrenched power weapon wielder and having some scrub ARing you in the back to soften you up for him.
We'll just have to wait and see. Not sure if any of it will matter if Regicide turns out to be a wildly popular playlist.
lol still talking about white text?

That's actually perfect, drop by at midnight, pick up the game, a whole free day to play it.

Twitch automatically saves broadcasts and are made public unless the channel owner says otherwise.

Yeah, I agree. The Jackals stumble fairly quickly from sustained AR fire. On anything aside from Legendary you can brute-force them without much difficulty.
Partly because of the lack of a headshot indicator, I think there was a lot less emphasis on one-shot kills in CE, and that's part of the reason I like it. Reach demanded that you double-tap every Jackal, and that got old fast.
What are you seeing that's a change for the HUD? Curious.
Just work from home and be "self employed" - that way you don't have to take any time off from work and only need to pretend you weren't playing Halo all day when your wife gets home.

Carbine also shoots a lot faster then the rest. Now if your aim is stretchy, you might want to avoid it.

Actually I think I like this map. Its like a Zealot/Warlock.
Probably a bit too big though, a little too much geometry. Might be able to be made into something great.

When they were playing Swat earlier on the MLG stream, the shield bar was faded out. The HUD was transparent a lot more. I guess that's due to them playing Swat, if it was like that in the previous Halo's I apologize. I tend to avoid that gametype.
