Finished SpartanOps on Legndary, too. Played with only 1 friend, over XBL and it was pretty easy. Died a few times, but it wasn't hard at all.
Also, he has a pretty bad connection normally, but there was no lag at all. Netcode is brilliant, I would say. Will test it with strangers and report back tommorow.
Oh and it would be pretty cool to have some ppl, which wants to play with us. Doesn't matter which playlist.
God I love this game, it's so awesome!!!
Also:
Happy B-day. Hope you have a good one, even without Halo 4.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Glad it didn't toss it on Monkey, haha.
Ellis said the shield reflects rockets I think in that Major Nelson interview. Someone should get on testing that.

God I hate you so much lol, I was on earlier and saw you playing.
Was it your order or did you rent it? But good to hear this stuff about SpOps.
As soon as I have the game I'm down for playlists, no matter what playlist
It doesn't scale difficulty to party size?

Wow 11k on the MLG twitch stream. Is that adding in from the main site too or is that just twitch?
RIP armor lock.
Good shit, monkey.
Thank you for you're military service.
You are the 3rd person which hates me, kinda.
First message was from Gazzawa. It was like this:
Second from a zoojoo:
And many others which adked how I get it.
I actually rent it, because I didn't get my english version, yet. Don't like it, that multiplayer is automatically german, too, if you have a german version...
I think it is scaled for 4 players always, because we played a mission, which was shown at various events and it looked like it was the same amount of enemies.
:lol :lol
finished the campaign, played all spartan ops missions (alone) and some multiplayer.
pretty impressed with the game, but i have some problems with the campaign.
overall, a fantastic game. spartan ops has the potential to be something really awesome.
2 things: will the terminal videos be up on monday/tuesday? since the 2 mb patch, some cutscenes in campaign have slight stutter that was not there before (everything was super smooth).

Can't believe Gazzawa and Elzar managed to convince people that Krow was going to prison :lol

Well, I'm going to prison, on Friday.
I can't believe I fell for "cow strangulation" though...
I think it looks awesome.

wait what? Even if the xbox is set on english? :/ oh god no, a friend of mine will be pissed.
Luckily I ordered the UK version, hope it arrives monday, I also thought about renting it, but my video rental stores that are in my area are well vistied, so the game would be taken anyway
edit: Coming up Ambush vs Dark Gangster Rappers

What do you not like about the campaign? Is it a gameplay issue or something with the story?
a bit about the story, level design (some levels make the typical halo mistake: identical looking indoor areas repeat each other over and over again.) and enemy variety (crawlers are really overused).
But then you did it easily with 2.

Yeah, this has been my worry about the Prometheans from the moment I first heard about them. Only 3 enemy types, no vehicles, there's simply no way you can get an entire campaign's worth of interesting encounters out of that.
halo 5 really needs 2-3 more enemy types. the problem with the crawlers is: they run at you, sometimes they shoot while doing it, you shoot them in the mouth(?) and thats it. they should have done a lot more with them, they really have potential (wall crawling).

ugh
How the fuck have bungie/343 never learned that Halo is at its best in big, open environments with small stretches of CQC?
The Covenant (Halo 3) is a textbook example of how a halo level should play (outdoors on-foot battle - vehicle sequence - corridor fight - aerial battle - corridor fight - big vehicle sequence with friendlies and bossfight), The Ark and Tsavo Highway aren't quite as perfect but still very good.
Goddamn The Covenant was good. Possibly the best mission in an FPS, ever.

Great post Karl! I agree with your points on the previous progression and ranking systems in Halo and the problems the Halo 4 ranking probably will encounter. In my opinion, another problem with the Halo 4 ranking is that there are no separate ranked playlists. Some people may see this as a positive but for me, it would be a big problem. Probably so big that I won't even bother to play the game to rank up my CSR.
Your proficiency ranking system sounds interesting. Simply said, you're proposing an individual ranking system (like Arena used to be) combined with the ranking system from Halo 3, right?
it only pissed me off in the last level. but its a real problem there. everything looks super nice, but when you have to clean another (almost identical) looking room, it can get annoying.
and i agree: covenant is a fantastic level.

Do they melee attack? How many of them usually rush you at once?
Yes, but not in the way people seem to be thinking, he was already outside the blast radius of the grenade. When the other guy used the shield, he put up his rifle, causing him to miss out on oneshotting Monkey.
Yeah, I seriously thought I died there as soon as it went off lol

Good post, Karly Rae Jepson.
yes, they can leap at you. sometimes you have to deal with a pack of them (2-3 attack you at once). maybe they get better on legendary/heroic (or more annoying).

Any levels you feel that rank with the best of the series? What are your favorite levels of past Halo games?
Outdoors with vehicles is fine. But outdoors infantry combat is stupid in campaign, with any mid-long range weapon there is no challenge whatsoever... That is, if the enemies are pre-placed. But if they're dropped close to you OR the area has a ridiculous amount of cover, then outdoors infantry combat works fine.
Beginning of Halo from Halo CE comes to mind... Also Sierra 117 in Halo 3, the area after first two Phantoms, and the level's end, if you have a sniper, you can kill pretty much every Covie before getting to Johnson.
Someone from 343i should clarify, because I felt in campaign the same way.
People said, that Heroic is the new Legendary, but it doesn't seem like that in campaign and/or in SpOps.
Either it is not scaled yet, because technically Halo hasn't released yet or it is really not difficult.

my favorite levels: covenant, the ark, assault on the control room, silent cartographer.
h4 has some great levels. but do they rank with the best of the series? dont know, probably not. i need another playthrough on heroic to be sure. when i finished reach the first time, i thought it was the best campaign, now...i dont think that way anymore.
h4 has some amazing moments that will make your jaw drop, but thats mostly because of the (amazing!) visuals/art design.

So nothing gameplay wise that makes your jaw drop? Like Halo 3's Scarab encounters and massive battles?
