Also, to add to this, this fixes every problem ever in Halo 4.
Campaign spoiler:Spartan 4's where pretty underwhelming in the campaign, I still have high hopes they can make a segment in a future halo campaign where you fight alongside other Spartans and it feels really good.]
They would probably have to make it really scripted to make them seem like they are doing awesome things though.
The problem with playing alongside other Spartans is it's unlikely they will make the AI adaptive enough to respond to the way I want to play. Guys that ruin my sniping approach or attempts at sneaking up on guys have been a problem in every nearly every Halo game, especially the last few. As a result I generally want to play solo.
Be like Star Wars Battlefront and assign AI actions to the D-Pad. Up to follow you, Down to scatter, Right to move to a position, and Left to hold position.
My mind just came.
It's new coke vs classic coke.
There to serve the same function but oh so different.

<3 thanks man
I'd be okay with that. I'd end up just telling them to stay put at the start of each mission and moving on. :lol
For the most part, they think you'll enjoy it if you enjoyed Firefight, which pretty much is chalked up to the one similarity I mentioned. He still implies they're designed to be very different, and they are. No implications of a replacement that people keep pegging it as (including reviewers).

How are you going to switch grenades? DAMN YOU SPRINT!
I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not but it is pretty disingenuous to insinuate that no one here has ever posted "thought out posts on how to fix the problems" considering that there have been dozens (hundreds?) of ideas over the course of each Halo OT that are reasonable from both technical and design perspectives
By getting rid of Armor Abilities.

They've added a cooperative game mode where you fight AI enemies and removed a cooperative game mode where you fight AI enemies.
You can see where people would compare them, at the very least in terms of enjoyment, i.e. I think if people were enjoying Sp Ops more, they wouldn't be making that comparison as much.
nope
anyone want to finish campaign with me? I just got to the part where Cortana freaks out and Chief takes her away and stonewalls the old dude who wants to delete her off the usb stick

Sprint RB, grenade switch X, commands D-Pad. My mind just came.

I would, but I just finished it last night on coop, don't feel like going through it again.

I'd be ok with this.
This is something Dax is pretty correct about. They don't really add or subtract anything. They aren't needed in the game at all. 343 has done a good job making sure none of them were OP, but some are annoying as hell (Jetpack and regenfield).
Sprint though, I'm happy sprint is in.
Yep, let me know I'm home for the rest of the day.
Back the fuck up off my bumper jumper foo!
Well, in the sense of fighting wave after wave of enemies, yes, Spartan Ops is reminiscent of Firefight, but at least firefight had some variety.
In ODST you would be going through waves with alternating skulls, forcing you to change the way you fight.
Reach let you customize the same aspects you could in custom games, and even change the way the AI acts, while also adding classes.
While I know that Spartan Ops is supposed to feel like an extension of campaign, it feels too much like it, with copy-pasted locations (some of which use the same objectives from campaign; e.x destroy x of generators.) Not only that it is completely monotonous. Go five feet, press a button, fight, radio chatter, fight, press button, end mission. So far there are no two missions that are entirely different. None of which even touch the variety found in Modern Warfare's spec-ops mode, or even Resistance 2's Co-Op.
One thing that is commendable is carrying over MP classes to SpOps. It would be nice to have a different set (or more!) weapons and abilities in SpOps.
Also, why only 5 loadouts? And I have to share them between two modes?

I just realized something. The Chief didn't have a flashlight in Halo 4. WTH 343!

Can they get rid of AA now? It is now apart of Halo. I actually have no problem with AA just their implementation of them.
For instance HLS should not be in any slayer gametype. It is not a ground breaking AA, but for some maps the way it has been used has been upsetting.

AA is a part of Halo and has been for the last two games. Maybe if someone has a problem with AA they could play a different game; for example, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 which was recently released. Alternatively, if they're so smart, they could develop their own first person shooter.

Did they ever explain how the DMR and Armor Abilities made it off of Reach?

Oh no hell no boyyyyyyyy!
I'm sure Tashi will be here shortly to pull my man card...
ONI.
Adaptation.
That's the Chief's #1 trait.
It really explores his humanity.
I have some good news for you!
Race doesn't exist anymore!

Team Snipers is a week only playlist. Well fuck. Ive been absolutely positive about this game the whole way through but this is fucking bullshit.
Since halo 2 ive enjoyed snipers even moreso than slayer etc and its gone after a week??
Snipers never struggled for population in any of the games. Fucking hell 343 its a mainstay playlist. Put it the fuck in and leave it there already.
Watch it get replaced by some dumbfuck game like rocket race or some other shit.

The idea is to rotate these playlists so they don't detract from the main playlists, at least, that's what I think the mentality/reasoning is.
Can't say I disagree with it. When SWAT came in the top playlists took a hit.
Isn't it just Majestic that are the dudebros? Aside from them, Castle sounds normal and not dudebroish from the few lines they had in Ep1Ch5.
Maybe they think dudebros make more interest characters (lol) than if you just had a team of calm, cool, and collected SIVs. Maybe you the player, as the faceless and voiceless Crimson, are the calm and cool Spartan IVs.
It's not funny when you over do it.
When you go into the Halo 4 Story/Spoiler thread.

The likes of Swat and Snipers are main playlists though? Id understand doing this later in the games life cylce but now with the populations so high it ridiculous to remove them after a week.

Has anyone figured out how to tell what medals are being shown in the medal distribution chart for each player in a single game? As far as I can see, it doesn't tell you. On waypoint that is...
Just do what the cool kids do and announce to everyone that you're putting them on ignore.
To be fair it's not funny when people say it and genuinely mean it either.
Yes, how dare they actually like the game.

Ignore Button is for the weak. Seriously though, it's the internet...
What in my post was about liking the game as opposed to squashing discussion of the game's design on the grounds that "it's ruining the game for me."

Reading comprehension really isn't your strong suit.
You're weak.
You can slide down them, but no, I've not seen a per match basis for them yet.
Edit: found it, click on matchmaking stats and history, then pick the match and scroll all the way down.
Tone it down... It's getting to be a bit much.
Anyways when are we getting forge maps in MM? I think what they should do is take two forge maps from each environment and incorporate them into respective playlists.
