Other problems :
-Identical looking icons in ordnance drops
-Making proper lobbies (this cannot be stated enough)
-Make ranks visible in game AND USE ELO AS THE FOUNDATION FOR MATCHMAKING (true skill is still true garbage)
-Not knowing how much added ammo, or how much quicker your reloads or switches are or how bigger the blast radius is or any important stat that shows you how much the perks give you
-removal of join in progress
-forcing the games to be of full complement. 50% of the games I have played there has been a short handed team. UNACCEPTABLE!
-a complete rethinking of commendations. 5 perfections for the first fucking level? A perfection in this game is highly likely to be very rare especially if matchmaking is working correctly. (Which it isn't)
-disabling the majority of the announcements. I don't want to hear that stupidity overload. Alpha is almost done fortifying protect at all costs. Fuck. Off.
-ability to disable animated assassinations.
-removal of waypoints in CTF for the opposing team flag carrier. The reason why it was effective before is that the team would either have to chase him down or go to the other base. What's the natural thing to do at that point? Take their flag. Also should require flag to be home to score. This feels like fisher price capture the flag. Also allowing dropping of the flag. Also where the hell is the most popular CTF, 1 flag? That's something that would work on a map like complex where the current iteration is way too one sided.
-reduction of complete removal of radar in regicide. The only player the people should be concerned about at all times is the king.
-forcing all 3 points in dominion to go through fortification (or a resupply before fortification) before going to sudden death. Half my games in dominion so far have been complete blowouts. And by half I think I mean all but one.
-fixing the rather useless grenades
-ability to disable the "you're special" text
-make the medals that are actually WORTH something more prominent. Double kill? Triple kill? You should be bouncing those medals all over the fucking screen and having confetti bleed from everyone's mask
-I like the weapon waypoints, but lets go back to old school halo weapon timers and have waypoints on the screen indicating the time left until the weapon respawns. There. Halfway between normal halo and something that drooling people with minimal motor skills can understand (343 target audience)
Ah fuck it, just remake halo 2 with pretty graphics

I have the same issue. None of my redemptions are active at all. Skins, emblems, avatar props, FUD special edition download etc. Nothing. At. All.

I was actually in error. Party details are actually 3 levels deep from that multi-main index (since I kept my roster open all of the time I forgot it's a button press), it's 2 levels deep from the roster though.
So essentially what was on the main page in Reach and very useful is hidden away in 4 for no reason. I have to question the priorities of those doing the UI.

Heh. I don't think anything can bring Reach tier rage though...
And one more thing:
-fix the damn killcams

It has minor flaws but it's a great game. Most fun I've had with an online shooter since the Halo 3/COD4 year.
This game needs to bring back the red x over your body when you die. Ive probably said "one shot on my x", "[weapon] on my x", etc. over 100 times.
There is no way for my teammates to know where i died unless theyre a radar length away and can see the yellow x on te radar or we all know the callouts and i can tell them precisely where i am.

So all I heard in those BTS story videos was, Chief's humanity this, Chief needs to change, put Chief in situations that force him to change blah blah blah. Umm, when did this happen?
I think it's all in the different tones he said cortana

Uh no. Right now it ranks right below CE for me. Multiplayer needs a few tweaks but single player is fantastic.

MP is pretty solid at it's core. So I'd rank it above Halo 3.
He disobeyed a direct order from a superior officer. That has never happened before.

Base play is fine. There are some things on top of it that are creating issues as well as stuff that doesn't have to do with the gameplay as much as usability.
Halo 4 needs more ammo, in general. It's just frustrating and annoying in Multiplayer and Campaign when you literally always run out of ammo. I hate getting a killing spree or frenzy then having to spend 2-3 minutes just scavenging for ammo. I literally just stand there and let them kill me while I do nothing when I'm out.
Already did it about a dozen times or so.

What difference would that make? None of the specialization perks seem too overpowered, except for nemesis, maybe.
A superior officer has never been as much of a total douchelord before. I feel like it would have been well within his preexisting character to have disobeyed Hood immediately and gone after Cortana's solution after the Floodgate end cinematic in Halo 3 if Hood had been as one-dimensional a character as Del Rio was.

X, select player, party details. There is nothing off the main drag for players unless you queue.
I can only guess those huge buttons for everything else that doesn't need it take up a lot of room.

There should be about about half as much space between the names in the active roster.
Screw it, I think I just might compile all my UI complaints and make a megapost.

Yeah, I knew where it should be, but when I do those steps (minus the queueing, I ain't gonna use that feature), it only gives me Party Size, Party Privacy, and the lobby that they're in (no matter what playlist it is, it just says War Games Matchmaking). Not being able to see game details is a bummer.
Also it's current implementation is begging for a halo 2 request invite feature and message sending feature
Or maybe the point was to show that he's not a mindless automaton and that he knows the difference between following orders and doing the right thing. It's a huge step as far as his characterization in the games go.

OH yeah forgot about that. Really like I said, as a designer myself I'm pretty fucking annoyed with the current UI menus in H4.

What do you mean, of course something came from it. Cortana was dispensed with right then and there. By refusing the order Chief saves Cortana so she can literally be in the rest of the game.

We can talk about this together, I'm pretty wtf about it myself.

Got spawn trapped, KOTH Abandon. Horrible experience, truly Reach-tier rage.
Actually, I have yet to see final killcams in any playlist, I could have sworn they were in.

What is the "online exp limit"???
I just had that message come up, haven't used any double XP codes or anything, SPR 30.
Almost a 31.

Campaign spoilers!
You still have to admit it was pretty awesome to see Chief towering over Del Rio and not backing down about his decision. Even though his voice didn't change much you could tell he was getting emotional during the finale with Cortana.
My bad, I thought you were looking for discussion, not affirmation.

Not gonna happen, will keep playing.
Loving the MP right now, really is a return to form from Reach.
No I don't own a copy.

You mean Complex, aka Jetpack/DMR heaven
I had a LOT of fun with Halo today, guys, despite all it's little flaws and problems.

Reach is definitely not superior lol. Some people.

How about Lasky becoming captain and he even tells John the entire crew's mutiny. You're looking at it in a different perspective. You think John should be in the negative but the entire crew sided with John and ousted Del Rio.
Complex is Snowbound; approaching terrible but not quite there. Abandon is Isolation/Epitaph.
Maybe I'll just play in Forge or something. smh
