Why dont they just bring back FUCKING FFA.
Noone EVER said "FFA is broken"
Sure weapons didnt need to spawn in the beginning cause it gave to much of an advantage to a player spawning near a power weapon but besides that theres nothing inherently wrong with FFA.
Change for the sake of change. Stupid.

yea its strange that ffa was not in.got to wonder if they had no time or something. cod has it and they seem to like that game.
Its just not a playlist. It should still be available from team settings right? Is it possible to disable teams?

Oh right, it's been a long time since I played juggernaut the last time (Halo 3 era).
I like your idea better than juggernaut.
Edit: Got a mail from Amazon, asking me if I would like to purchase the Halo 4 Hornet figurine. Yeah, that's right. Halo 4. Hornet.
Another point on the '343's unforgivable sins' list.
Oh Hornet. I'll never forget the fun we had together on Avalanche. :'-(
Even though it was the gimped version without missiles, there was simply no stopping me in that thing.

True, but everyone pretty much said whoever hangs back and mops up is the winner. Great design there, right?

N64, Gamecube, Wii.
All hot garbage.
N64 soured me with the drought inbetween games.
Zelda was the last saving grace for me, then windwaker came out, the worst Zelda in the series. Fishing for the triforce with minimal dungeon crawling is NOT "Zelda."
The bossfight was good though.
Nintendo definitely lost its way after the Super nintendo.
I already feel behind as hell. Everyone is fucking 50+ now.

I agree in terms of snes being their best butg N64 had some great classics even if it wasnt in bunches. PD,goldeneye,OOT,conker,banjo all high quality. gamecube was decent too with resident evil and metroid prime. wii on the other hand is where things got iffy.

N64 is a problem when you tell people it sucked because these days most people are young who you have this discussion with.
Anyone who lived through N64 from launch to end knows that game had the WORST droughts in terms of good games. It's easy to look back and say "it had GREAT games", yeah, it did, but the wait for them was fucking brutal.
Flags were previously done as weapons in the Halo engine, so technically what they did (oversimplifying it) was removed the normal flag object, then made another Magnum and added a Flag to the left hand. If that makes any sense.
They more than likely cannot allow flag dropping via the megalooz because that's how the flag weap is set up now. Classic flag would more than likely return by them patching the classic Flag object into the game. If they do it it's going to be less an option and more than likely a new base gametype.

Yea unfortunately they didnt design FFA. So yea...FFA has been a gametype in almost every FPS. Can't even really think of one where it isn't in...
And yea that strategy works so well Hydra. I assume you must just win all your FFA games you've ever played with such a leet strategy, please. Sitting back loses FFA's you fall so behind in kills that way.
Watch some pro FFA and you see how to play, you do your best every single kill and if you're skilled and sharp enough you eventually pull ahead with a lead. Its fast paced and fierce and you don't get to "sit back", because thats pretty much a surefire way to get shit on.
Preach!
The flag talk reminded me of a funny moment I had on CTF Ragnarok the other day, which I just remembered. We were pulling our flag back to base and had it just outside, near the cave. The carrier wasn't paying attention and starts to get assassinated. I run up and melee the dude doing the assassinating...and kill him, scoring a flag kill. Bwah?
My team mate and I look at each other for moment, both confused. Then I start lugging the flag back to base. Apparently when you start to get assassinated, you drop the flag, and I picked it up when I went to rescue him. So there's at least one way to drop the flag and live. Would have done a picture post on it, but alas. Waypoint's not yet up to speed (I think?).

BTB talk
Let's just say I first bought an xbox just for Halo 2 after playing at a friends house. I have now been playing COD more over Halo. That could easily change if 343i tweaked H4 to more of a classic style gameplay.
I'm having a blast with Zombies and MP, especially League play.

They could just call it CTF Pro or Classic CTF. Hell, make new CTF turn into Infinity CTF and the classic can just be CTF. Then there's the whole issue with fragmenting the playerbases, though.
Former.
There's a way to drop the flag and survive? That's horribly broken. This is the top priority fix for 343 now.
No im going to be so left ouuuut.
How many seasons are there thus far + how many episodes per season + how long is an episode + I'm not reading the books
This reminds me, I need to read book 3, and watch season 2. I think I'm ready to dive back in.
In 2008, Doritos were promoted by an "out-of-this-world" advertising campaign, literally beaming a 30 second advertisement for Doritos brand tortilla chips into a planetary system 42 light years away. The project was in collaboration with EISCAT Space Center in Svalbard, Norway. The "You Make It, We'll Play It" contest chose the winning advertisement that was transmitted on June 12, 2008. The ad was beamed towards a distant star within the Ursa Major constellation that is orbited by planets which may harbor life.[29]

2 seasons have aired.
10 episodes per season.
Episodes are an hour.
Easily doable to catch up.
Too in bed with nasty binding contracts with cable companies to offer the obvious Netflix subscription model for HBO GO.
I'll try. See if I can get into it. Need something to tide me over until Breaking Bad comes back.

You're in for a treat with book 3.
I didn't think I'd ever see the day where the BTB playlist has a higher population than standard slayer.
The other day I saw CTF higher than Flood. Nearly fell out of my
I'm not a fan of the new CTF, but I'm glad to see it's getting played.

Slayer Pro is least populated playlist.
The casuals have been protected. H4 saved the day! Its the best Halo EVAR!

I figured it will be the least populated. I think most halo fans are spreaded. Some are gone and probably arent even gaming anymore,some are on reach,some on halo 3. i don't see the usual regulars here that much anymore either. kind of weird.

But the hardcore kids have really popular CTF, Oddball and KOTH hoppers. Here I was thinking Team Objective was dead.

Haven glitch?
And no, Stinkles is going to post a paragraph saying how it's not a bug - in player testing, Complex without that glitch room was actually too distracting and provided too much information to the player, and that it's very much intentional.
Apparently you can clip into the geometry. I haven't personally done it, but a few GAFfers here have seen it

It was dead, 343 revived them with their genious! Their redesigns of CTF KoTH and Oddball Tossing saved Halo!

All jokes aside, I think CTF, King, and Oddball getting their own playlists is an unquestionably good decision.

The question is can they sustain population for three separate playlists?
We really need a Dev Update blog. And no, weekly updates are never going to scratch that itch.
