I've learned that I have to retreat when crawlers start to outnumber me too much. Gain some distance, don't let them surround you, and pick them off.
Solace and Complex are shit.

Can't when your back is literally to the wall because the mission objective says defend this wall ( or hold this drop zone that is next to a sheer wall).

I find if you spot the crawlers entry point to a battle you can pretty much take them out as they file in one by one from range.
Then any crawlers that happen to get close you simply dodge their melee by literally backing straight up (down on controller while you still face them directly). They miss their melee and this also perfectly lines up your crawler head as they sort of pause when they miss their melee.
You can also melee them this way and not even get melee damage yourself. Further multiple crawlers are easily avoided using circle strafe or jump too. Fairly straight forward and I'd say I only melee'd a handful throughout Heroic campaign.
Total joke something so inaccurate was even put into a retail release. At least players may realise latency issues but really for the masses it just makes the developer look inept.
Dominion really needs a HUD element showing you which bases are captured by what team aside from the waypoints above the bases. Right now it's hard to keep track of what's being captured by what team and what bases are already captured. This is especially a problem because I've already tuned out practically everything Steitzer says. He says so much worthless information that I just stopped listening to him. In CTF it's the same. I rarely hear when Steitzer says that our flag is taken or that we have the flag. If there's huge text at the top of the screen telling the flag carrier that he has the flag then why not tell the rest of the team? You know, the people who actually need that information. I'm not sure but I don't think even the flag-away indicator next to the scoring in previous games is there anymore.

Yeah. That one is my god damn favorite.
I enjoy the game, but all the glitches and such are why we have a public beta. My brother had a game on Ragnarok earlier where he boarded the Mantis, planted the nade, and the Mantis was unscathed. Not to mention the DNF when backing out of Map Vote screen.
I honestly feel like im playing a delta build when it comes to the MP, im still enjoying the hell out of it

DNF stuff is annoying it looks like I'm 11 for 11 in war games stats on Waypoint.
Yet I'm supposed to be 10/11 , We lost one last night I think, and supposedly I've played 14 games...
None of the numbers add up right.

Damn. Glad you're ok.Here is the damage:
It felt far worse, and the car was on it's side. This is not going to be cheap to repair.
I would donate to this cause.

Should be good when we get ranked via that website.

Promethean vision would be way to OP though.
The ranking system wouldn't be handled in game?

From the info we have right now, you can only see see your rank on waypoint. Plus I don't think there are going to be separate ranked playlists.

You still looking for anyone?
I think it's been pretty cool. Could be better, but I see the potential in it.

Last two missions are way better than the first few.
I get the same problems, my internet is fine but the connections are worse more than they are better.

I got stuck there for so long earlier today on my solo legendary run. I've played all the campaigns on legendary and I have NEVER had as much trouble with any part of the other games as I did with this part. I had to railgun+lightrifle headshot all the knights really quick before they could spawn their watchers, and I still fought probably 7 or 8 knights in total, plus 50+ crawlers. I HATED that part. Never been so frustrated with a part of a Halo campaign like that.
Edit: Also, the Knights ALWAYS start their stupid teleport that makes them temporary invulnerable right when I start charging the rail gun. I'm assuming that's what you meant about the rail gun passing through them.

Sure send me a message. In a party right now. May take a minute.
So far the only things that bother me are the random matchmaking issues and occasional lag. I dont really have any personal issues with the ordinance or design (yet).
There's definitely a lot of good in it, the game can feel incredibly polished at times, but, I'm only writing about the negative experiences after all.
Glad to see I'm not alone.
Episode 2 and 4 were fun.
I really hope that 343i has some good post launch support. If there's any area where they really need to prove themselves, its that. There are alot of small tweaks that could make this game amazing, and it definitely has more potential than Reach ever had.
Here's to hoping its just average "the game just came out" problems.

It honestly depends on what they feel like changing. So we'll see.
I think it comes down to a big misunderstanding or miscommunication (I really hope that's the issue) with stuff like that.
We asked for our 50, and got XP 50 when we meant Skill ranks.
We bitched about too many playlist, and Swat/Snipers/FFA/etc are out.
Lets hope we get a Bulletin or at least places to report bugs.
I've been hearing some really positive things about Dominion.
I'm sure like all other Halo games it will get at least 5 more playlists
There is no way they misinterpreted that, I doubt they're that stupid.
But I do agree with the second point.

"You Unlocked Outer-plated"
...I was already wearing it.
Not a Halo 4 issue but my new batts wont charge and the charger is broken
That's just one AA though. The rest probably still work nicely.

HaloGAF has more straw men than a scarecrow emporium.
After all this time fiddling, I've found out that Certain Affinity had forge tutorials on youtube. WTF.
One feature for forge that is needed is game-type lock. When I make a layout in basic editing, there should be no game-type lock. In any other game mode, let's say forging dominoin, there should be spawn for gametype on every new object spawned. It would make forging a lot faster.
Edit: Why am I making a map no one will play...

Potential is nice but Reach is still the better total package at this point. TUs better start dropping. Especially for Forge.

I think that has to do with how Reach and 4 load gametypes. In Halo 3 you could switch between gametypes in-game because they were all hardcoded into the engine.
I never really play FFA so this isn't an informed opinion, but Regicide seems fairly stupid. In the game I played of it people were just flocking to the King and ignoring everything else. In a way that's awesome, but it also promotes very bad behavior. Also the fact that it's score based and not kill based for the win is pretty awful; I won the game I played by only 10 points, but I had 4 or 5 more kills than second place.
Don't really care for Flood at all. I only played Infection occasionally in Reach for lols, it seems like they went too far in the other direction this time and made the infected way too strong. It doesn't seem (?) to be one shot kills on the flood with magnum headshots anymore, and their ability to thrust mid-jump to change their approach and attack while thrusting is ridiculous. I played 4-5 games of it and never saw a human team come anywhere remotely close to surviving a round.
I am having a blast playing King of the Hill though. I was always a fan of the gametype, but for some reason it feels really good here, can't pinpoint exactly why though.

Yea I don't really see the point of the king. He's worth 5 more points that a normal kill, then he gets worth more after he gets more kills? It seems kind of pointless. Everyone just runs to the king and if you kill all of them you can win without even worrying about the king. I've played 2 games, won 2 games.
Oddball though... oddball. I feel like Joe Montana out there. If you get a good team, oddball is more fun than I have had in a long time.
Snagged KD4PC-6TG3T-G6379-WT3FK-JK4DZ. Thanks for puttin' those up.
