Yeah I agree. I actually played a game of Reach today just because and instantly noticed the difference.

Headhunter was basically chill by the cap point and roll up the skulls that will inevitably land by it because people always get killed before they end up in it.
I'm a level 31 in MP and have yet to experience 1 instance of lag. I guess some of you need better service providers or something or else you are making shit up. Also the AA's in this game are fine. People claiming this plays more like COD really need their heads checked and are just bitching for attention.
The more I try use the new Forge, the more I think I'm not going to be able to put up with its bullshit. Coordinate editing the entire way is the only way to do anything with any amount of precision anymore with precision controls being gone and magnets being a complete waste of time. The magnet points are not in the geometry of the piece, they're on the outside edge, so using magnets to put two pieces together almost always leaves a fat gap that weapon fire can go through. So anyone that's using magnets is going to have to plug up a thousand tiny holes that players' grenades could fall through or get stuck on, or that could be used for exploits. It's really incredible how much of a fundamental step back this is. I can't even imagine trying to fix z-fighting anymore.
Even with coordinate editing, trying to use it with ramps that don't line up no matter what damn coordinates I try because the coordinate system is nowhere near fine enough to be of any use has made me more frustrated than I ever was at Reach's version.

The most refreshing part about a lot of these complaints is that they will be a lot easier to fix or adjust. No changes are really needed to the actual game physics, or even the weapon settings. It's all little setting adjustments here and there, at least I hope. Each Halo game outside of the first one, since it wasn't on Live, has had multiple fixes after release. I think 4 is in a good spot for the moment, assuming 343 will listen to the feedback and make some honest adjustments. Worrying about kill cams is a waste of time though and I think it should be left alone, personally. Not worth time and resources.
The hardest fixes, if 343 even wants to try, would be the Ordnance issues, adding red X's where people die, and changing JIP to like a social playlist only. Changing up the playlists, and what AA's are available, along with radar/no radar seem easy as pie in comparison.

how about no

I wish Theatre was up so I could show you this shit.
No problems here. I've also seen literally none of the lag/disconnect or other complaints people here have had though, and I play mostly in BTB. No idea what's up. I had one game that had lag problems when the servers were super jacked on Tuesday, but nothing other than that.
Actually that's assuming you're talking about War Games, Campaign co-op or Ops has been a shitshow when I've tried, but that seems to be a more typical shit netcode carryover from 3/Reach than anything as far as I can tell.

How would ordnance be hard to fix? You can place weapons on maps in Forge right? Just turn off ordnance drops and place weapons on the maps.

There are so many things wrong with this post.
Who had the bright idea of putting instant respawn into the game Slayer Pro. Fire them.
Global ordnance makes no sense whatsoever how it is currently implemented.

The bags of doritos will give you the most bang for your buck. 2-liters and 20 oz bottles give you 3 games. 12 packs of cans gives you 6. The 24 pack and the bags of doritos give you 12. One bag of doritos is cheaper than 4 2-liters or 20oz bottles. If I've got it wrong please correct me, because I was trying to figure this out the other day when buying stuff. But there are also combinations that earn you more points. I think a 24 pack and a bag or doritos together will net you an extra 12 games? Someone explain it all me, please. I'm only confusing myself.
I think best items = bag of doritos, or bag of doritos + 24 pack
Can anyone confirm or deny?
EDIT: The 12 extra bonus games is only a one time deal and requires your halo 4 game package code to be entered with a bag of doritos and a 12 pack of dew. Yeah, so bag of doritos ftw

I think both are fun and would complement each other as two options in one FFA playlist.

Not at all.
FFAs are all about the leader. If you're not the leader, you want to keep the leader from scoring and ending the game before you can overtake him. The problem is that most players are stupid and will actively work against this goal. It happens in other FFA games too, like Settlers of Catan. If everyone isn't actively keeping the leader down, the game becomes imbalanced and it's out of a single player's hands to stop the leader from running away with the victory.
Regicide puts a target over the leader's head so everyone knows where the priority is. You don't need to go after the leader, you still earn 10 points per kill on other players, but going after the leader (as you should be) rewards a larger amount, depending on how long he's gone untouched. The end result is a frenzied back and forth between the best players and closer matches, which didn't always happen in default FFAs.

For some reason, none of the Avatar awards for Halo 4 are working for me. They aren't listed in the "awards" section when customizing the avatar, but they ARE on my hard drive.
Anybody have an advice here?

This is the best. I can't stop laughing.
Someone should compile all the glitches into one vid, it would be the best.

I totally read this as "shitON" and not "shit-TON". I like my misreading better, it's like if you can stomach a shitON doritos and Mt. Dew you get double EXP (lol).

Eh, don't worry about it. This infernal university connection has me with a strict NAT so I can hardly ever party up with anyone, it's frustrating as hell.

Why can't I view fileshares while in a matchmaking lobby?
That was such a great part about Halo 3.. looking at screen shots.
Reach locked the file shares for some reason, I figured things would be different in Halo 4...

I had great games tonight. No lag, and I made myself be more patient which led to doing way better.
Tomorrow everyone is out of town, so I may need some HaloGaf Halo 4.

Clicking on your link brings me to an error page, but going to the frontpage and clicking on the bulletin from there doesn't. Now I'm clicking on your link and it's fine. Halo Waypoint.
