Where the hell on waypoint am I supposed to access the terminals?
Yep. It's based on an old favorite, but smaller. Small enough for 5v5 or so, maybe even 4v4. Small enough to fit in a shoe box. It's also a canyon. Box. Canyon. Shoes. Bloody coagulating hemorrhages.
I'm sure you're connecting dots.
Campaign page of your stats.
And Waypoint is the solution to their ranking system.
Also incredibly lazy
It makes me smile knowing how many good fellows there are on HaloGAF.

But waypoint works so well. Silverlight is the future.
Waypoint is stupid in both forms it exists in
Primarily because it exists solely to take away features from the game
Why aren't these in depth stats implemented within the game? Why aren't terminals viewable once you find them?why do I have to load up that shit furnace just to get my rank? It goes on and on.
It should be a supplement,not a feature black hole.

But they're supposed to be hidden sidebits that dedicated fans find, not things that are essential and if they're missed you lose part of the story.
I liked the story through them, even if most of it was already known before the game came out. Would have liked the amazing CG cutscenes instead though. It was a hybrid motion comic thing? I think that's what they were trying to go for? Instead it just looked like crappy Halo 3-era graphics, which is okay I guess, but eh. Could have done better.
Completely agree. I cannot wait to see where 343i decides to go next. Very, very pleased with how it turned out.
Need a fourth, then I'll play in about 2 hours. Want to get some MM games in first.
When I unlocked a new terminal it took me directly to them upon opening waypoint. You can reach them manually via the classified (X) menu I believe.

Finished the Campaign. Prometheans became more fun to fight later, in the last few levels.
Ultimately disappointed, hoped for better gameplay and story.
It's still a good game, but I'm not sure it's a great one.

Agreed, or at least make it touch return default.
Story was very hollow considering how they were drumming up all this emotional stuff
Very basic... Point A to point B
And you really never feel like there's any type of real threat out there.
Not a Jellyfish
but I am a sheep
Don't let them take it that far.
I agree though, should be 20 seconds for smaller maps.

I was joking.
Larger
Though its less in regards to gameplay in multiplayer and far greater in campaign
The main problems in MP are balancing, game types. Reachs problems were the core experience.
So many changes needed for presentation... Announcers, medals. The game feels so soulless now that you are rewarded for every thing you do. Played a half assed game and came out with 60 medals. Wtf?
I wasn't.

Couldn't even understand what the fuck was supposed to be happening for half the campaign.
The medals are actually a lot better than I'd thought: you get medals for things I always thought should've received one but didn't.

That's basically how the progressions system works, forcing you to earn shit that was freely available in prior games.

Anyone see the glitch where the Ordnance UI shows one weapon but then you see the actual weapon is different?
Happens a lot.

Hi Barlow.

We should all compile a list of changes that need to be made for this game. Anyone up for creating a google doc? :]

I'll post my 3 part review later.
I'll start with campaign.
I'll start with campaign.
Reach progression system and halo 4 progression system can go die in a fire. The COD elements can join them.
Halo 3 did it right. Have almost everything available except a select few things from the start (recon, hayabusa, security)

You really don't want to talk to me about the election right now. Not because I'm bitter or angry but because I fundamentally disagree with the direction the country is moving.
So, this happened. Maybe, just maybe I won't miss the grenade launcher as much as I thought I would.

I'm sure the MM team they hired will fix that right...oh wait. They hired a waypoint moderator.

Anyone played pro yet how is it? I don't want to get up and play right now. Dog is on me.

Who wanted to hear your thoughts on the election? No one brought it up but you.
It's okay. Some of the maps are maybe a little questionable. I can't stand Abandon in there, cliffside team seems to always get crapped on. Complex is kind of the same way. Global Ordnance is still occasionally moronic in there, had a Spartan Laser spawn on a small map in TS Pro.
Have the default variant only be used as a BTB variant and make a toned down 5v5/4v4 variant that actually makes sense for the player count instead of being a constant vehicle disaster.

Oh ordinance's exist in there? Ugh.
Guess I just better accept the fact that my desires are now dead in the industry.
They disappear after like half a second too.
Yeah, I expected something a little more sophisticated for global, it acts more like a computer-selected personal ordnance than a set rotation of map-dependant weapons. =/
It's pretty fun to use, gotta take into account surfaces and how close the enemy will be to them. It's blas radius makes it a tad idiot-proof but overall it's a decent replacement for the pipe.
I keep calling it the target locator though haha.

Not personal ordinance. He's talking the "random" weapon spawns.
