Day one patch came out yesterday afternoon'ish
If teams do not get matched up against teams in halo 4, there better be an outcry from everyone.
I don't care what playlist it is a team should never face randoms EVER. It isn't fun for either side and makes going into matchmaking by yourself almost impossible. 343 made super slayer a gametype where teams faced other teams, this better be the case with every freaking playlist in halo 4. (partly because being in a team of 4 and not getting matched against a team of 4 is just as frustrating)

A mercenary playlist would be amazing since I spend 90% of my time solo. It was one of my favorite additions from COD. No idea if the matchmaking framework has any capability like that though.
I'm interested to see what kind of post-game support 343 is going to be doing. Bungie always treated TUs as patches are things that are strictly broken.
It was for Assassin's Creed 3.

Joining in progress has its flaws.
What usually happens is you join a team that is being completely stomped on, to the point that everyone else has quit.
Man speaks truth... BTW - stream is sexy smooth.

Which gang? The Wolfpack? Avengers? Spice Girls?
I will not allow you to reunite the beatdown crew.

Any idea on what kind of changes it made?
Sucks to hear about there being no option to turn off instant respawn. Pretty frustrating mistake by 343 if there really is no way. Hopefully they fix it ASAP.

At least the bright side is you can finally join your friends mid game, and they can join you.

I told Xand about your 2forts plans.
He hates you.
This is exactly how it works in Call of Duty lol. I cant wait to join games where the opponents all have power weapons and are halfway to winning and my team has like 5 kills between them.

The problem is less with JIP and more with quitters, which has always been a problem in Halo.
I'll take joining a losing team for 1 round over being stuck in a lobby where my whole team quits out with no hope of reinforcements over and over.

Speaking of quitting, is the penalty system from Reach still in place in Halo 4?
I love it. We all gotta change our service tags to represent either Team LOLA, Team TONY or Team RICO.

You two are on the VIP list, when it's finally up and running.

Wait, H4 comes out tomorrow night? I thought it was Tuesday night.
Never heard anything about it, then is must have been removed. 10 minute ban was annoying.
Monday at 11:59PM

Yo Zeo, if you want someone to help organise a non-US league/tourney, I'd be more than happy to help out.

Yo Hydra if you want someone to compete in a european league/ tourney, I'd be more than happy to dong out.

Devin just joined this game JIP on losing team and won.

This is the truth. Id like there to still be penalties for quitting but the jip feature to allow the unlucky remaining players to get reinforcements. Otherwise jip seems like a license for habitual quitting.
I think the schedule was adjusted because last night it said the starts at 10:45am CST on the stream. Actual matches start at 11am.

Olsen sure does like assassinations, doesn't he?

I will graciously decline but only because of the Raven (or Crow) which is watching, always watching, from a distance.
I hear Zeouterlimits is a pretty cool guy. You should totes team up. He has a far more well kept beard than I.

Yeah I hadn't ever noticed that until then either! so cool

Oh 2v2 tourney? Interesting - who is competing UK only or Europe in general? If its Europe in general I request either Overdoziz or Robbert come to my aid - only so that I have the advantage of dutch connection on my team and dont have to go against it

Finally read through 100+ pages.
No forge fine tuning is bothersome.. and the general lack of customization in some gametypes... I'm guessing there is still more stuff that's not working as intended and wasn't discovered yet.
The first thing I was going to do after beating the campaign was forging a Titan mode (Battlefield2142) gametype/map. But I'll wait until some issues are solved.

Part of it is that, but the issue I was having is that it was putting me in games against an obviously full party who were just creaming the guys I was joining. A real dongfest. Ordinarily, against a "normal" enemy team of a group of randoms (which is what I, as a solo player, should be matched against), I'd totally stick it out and wait for the game to rebalance teams. With a full enemy party it's not going to rebalance, so why waste my time?
In this instance I would say that the issue is less with JIP and more with party matching, which has been a consistently awful problem with Halo like Henery mentioned.
