Didn't some people say they didn't want JIP because they liked the challenge of being down a man on their team or at times being 1v4? So some of the complaints seem weird to me. It is shitty that the game will just straight up match you unevenly and start you off like that, as opposed to people dropping out or anything. That definitely needs to be fixed.
Happened to me on Exile as well... just an empty ordnance container/icon. lol
It's fun when you get a ordnance, call it in, then host switches and you get a re-roll of the ordnance dice. In which you invariably get worse options...
Or when you call it in, pick it up as the host changes, and suddenly every ordnance spot on the map plus where you called in the ordnance shows what you called in and it stays there for the whole match. I already thought there was enough stuff on the screen...

But only from a casual forger's perspective. It's a step back in a lot of other respects, and fails to break any new ground.
There was a big post making the rounds in these threads earlier, but Forge has stagnated and it's the biggest feature Bungie/343 have failed to capitalize on, for what could otherwise be amazing.

I am really liking Halo 4 so far. The game DOES have some issues but they are not huge. Armor abilities are actually fun and not dumb like in Reach. It's all pretty balanced. A few things I'd like to see change:
- SEARCH FILTER, I can not stress this enough(!). This is one of the few things that pisses me off. I get in a lot of laggy games (I have very high speed fiber, so it's not me) and 90% of the time I'm in games with people from the US who have host (I'm EU), which gives me a HUGE disadvantage and makes DMR battles way harder to win.
- Games starting with UNBALANCED teams, 4v1 is bullshit, I have no problem with JiP, but starting with uneven teams isn't.
- Make it possible to move while looking at the scoreboard.
- Nerf the rifles with long distance (it ruins BTB).
- Nerf Boltshot (less charged time, less range (melee range?)).
- Buff Concussion Rifle (it sucks right now)
- Buff Promethean nades, they suck hard right now.
- Buff vehicles, especially the Warthog.
- Slightly improve Overshield, it's hardly worth picking up.
- Thrusters Pack could use a little buff.
- More maps (add a FEW GOOD forge maps to the rotation).
- Add a 'X' when someone is dead (just like previous Halo's).
- I'd personally like more playlists (FFA, Team Doubles, Team Snipers, BTB Objectives and see Oddball/KOTH/CTF merging).
- Show deaths on scoreboard.
- I have no problem with camo, but camo + sniper combo is bullshit.
- KOTH on Ragnarok is boring, I'd like to see it disappear.
Apart from that I'm pretty happy with the game.
[edit] my opinion is based on 90% Infinity Slayer and about 10% KOTH/FFA thing.

Does speedboost increase the thruster boost? 'Cause I saw a guy flying out of the map and I think he had speedboost.

RE Ordnance:
I had the same problem, like Plywood with a Railgun.
Global ordinance has also some problems, like not showing you, what the drop is, 'cause the icon is missing or it shows you Spartan Laser's everywhere. Weird stuff.

Just made a symmetrical version of Solace in Forge. I got ride of the bases as initial spawn. Instead, I used the sides. At least those are symmetrical.
I'd rather have OS.
And Damage Boost obviously.
Oh, and FIX INITIAL SPAWNS IN HAVEN.
Like seriously how did that even happen?
Perfect.
Because without a specific perk you don't pick up grenades automatically now.
I still go for grenade pickups, and I actually like that change to Halo better.
Personal ordnance, not global. I pick up nades on globals too. But who in their right mind would select one for a personal drop?
How does it play?

The dude with Explosives and Grenadier perks? I don't know, I never pick em either.
Had a crap night on this tonight, when things go wrong the issues are glaring. I know Frankie said it'll take a while for host data to build up but surely it doesn't take long to figure out that matching me, in Scotland, against people in Mexico, South Africa and Japan isn't a good idea? Instead of getting better my games have gotten laggier as time has gone on.
Starting a game with less players than the other team and your team never gets filled? That sucks too.
As does spawning into a Ragnarok game against a party of 8 who already have both banshees and mantes surrounding your base
On a positive note I've started using the light rifle and it feels awesome, can't wait to get the flinch perk thing though 'cos it seems quite jumpy.

Misread. My bad, I completely agree with you.
The way information is organized on Waypoint is incredibly convoluted. With Reach, information I wanted was typically about two clicks away. I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate Waypoint. You'll get to a page, and then have to open something from the right, then scroll to a sub section and drill in....
I called down ordnance in a game today, and then after I picked it up, the "Incoming...." waypoint directed me to that same spot, until I was killed a while later. Was kind of obnoxious.

My god, I need to play way more. I'm terrible compared to some of the more seasoned people. That truskill just wrecked me.
Wow, Halo 4 is so much better with a team.
Another issue I have is that just about no matter where I call it down to it always seems to spawn where it pleases.
We're not teammates
And wtf my stream turned on while we were playing there. lol weird.
Well I didn't mean it like that, should've said party.

Sorry, i've been doing some actual work, at work, lol, and I've not been paying attention to Gaf. I haven't seen many good pages with that information to be honest.
IGN's guide has been somewhat helpful, though:
http://www.ign.com/wikis/halo-4/Armor_Customization
The commendation levels are as follows, but not every commendation progression has 7 levels (some are less as far as I know):
Levels
1. Novice
2. Proficent
3. Adept
4. Qualified
5. Expert
6. Distinguished
7. Master
In Halowaypoint, under commendations, you'll find a lot of the relevant stuff if you expand the "+ View All Player" commendations tab. Also, I was wrong about my assists. I'm not even close to master yet lol. Derp!

Has anyone else had inconsistencies with the needler?
The whole string of games we just played the needles wouldn't track for shit for me.
Sorry about the raging, I'm not used to getting shit on that badly.

I made this point earlier in this |OT|. I'm glad that commendations now mean something, whether that means unlocking in-game armor and emblems or simply being a goal that's now achievable (compared to some of Reach's commendations). However, there needs to be a collective place (on Waypoint or other), that details every commendation, the levels or each, how many values in each level, and what each commendation unlocks.
The Prima strategy guide details what's unlocked from commendations (in the case of armor and emblems), however it would still be nice to know the complete values of each level (and perhaps the way to earn each commendation).
Don't let tashi throw you around like that. You two were on a team and tashi has to fuckin deal with that.
They should have made a personal drop always refill your chosen grenades.
A couple times. Although I think it was because I was using it from too far away.
That's actually a really good idea. Refill your loadout ammo in general too.

See, here's the problem. I was either mid to close range every time.
Some games it's a death machine and others it doesn't do shit.
