Yeah I really wanted to use the carbine more often but it seems when I go against decent players I lose out to DMR and BR 9 out of 10 times. Only time I actually use it is in BTB to goof around with and kill players who have no idea what they're doing.
New FFA playlist eh, gotta get on and try that if the verdict is good.
I've always liked the Carbine. Always tried to pick it up in 3... Can't really remember Halo 2, but my point is still there.
...
Only two SpOps challenges this week? The shame
I was thinking midnight at Pacific time
2 AM Pacific I believe. Same for playlist updates. Which would mean.. now?
Yeah.. the New FFA (unexpected) but no team snipes or new spartan ops.
Just tried it.
Just played a game on Complex.
The Complex map escape is still not fixed.
edit: it's also above SWAT in the list, and now SWAT is under the fold and you have to scroll down to see it. Wonder if they're taking note on how going below the fold affects a playlist.
edit2: Also, if you look at games from FFA Throwback on Waypoint, it doesn't show the the playlist name. It just says "PLAYLIST ID 111 IS INVALID"

being under the fold will mean that only hardcore and dedicated players such as myself will know the gametype exists because only the elite members of society know what scrolling is
As I said in the other thread (or maybe this one, I've stopped keeping track), there's been players that didn't know a playlist existed because it was under another category than the default one in Halo 3 (ie people didn't know to look for Team SWAT under Hardcore). Hence why Bungie tried to keep it down to 2 top level categories after a while.
343 just took the next step and removed categories altogether. But we've also never had the playlist view actually scroll, either.
UI is a hell of a thing. And being under or above the fold does have effects on traffic in both websites and game ui
Anyway, FFA Hill is fun but Oddball seems to mostly be Slayer and Sometimes The Ball Is Picked Up.
BlOps2 sold less than the last 3 CoD games in the UK, will be interesting to see if Halo 4 outsells it on 360 (obviously it won't beat it over all platforms).

looks like the forerunner ship the chief boarded at the end of Halo 2?

The thought process of 90% of the people in my last game.
...
Question. I've almost got the monthly challenge done (up to 102 wins). If I use double XP on the final win, will I get double the payout of the challenge?

I'm going to hypothesize no, because those winnings don't show up on the post-game tally screen and get hiddenly added. Just a guess though.
Yep I would also say this, I don't think Challeges are affected by Double XP.
But also no 100% confirmation from me.
Episode 3 still not there :/

Someone should do a new version of the "spartan ops in a nutshell" compilation that was posted some time ago (the one with lots of "crimson" and switch hitting), and replace "crimson" with "eggheads"

Man if I had a capture card I'd do it for Campaign. A button press/Cortana insertion montage would be glorious. I'd even throw in the horrid QTEs.

Halo 4 was down in the UK too, no? I remember seeing the PAL thread last week.

I actually like that they made button pressing animations instead of telekinetic switches like in previous halo games. But they were way overused, oftentimes it was totally unnecessary.
e.g. Mission 2: to get a switch to activate, you have to first press another switch to supply it with power. and to get to that second switch, you have to hit a third switch to activate the light bridge.

The new FFA is awesome.

I really hope that this puts them off ever putting multiplayer maps as pre-order bonuses.
The fact that I can't get the full map list buying the game a day later has put me off buying it. I am probably alone in that being my reason to avoid it this year though lol.

Apart from how early they were last week, I'd say it's perfectly fine not to expect them up until normal working hours in PST, another few hours away.

I... I'd love a chance to discuss that further with him.
140 characters may be a bit too limiting.

I just started my Legendary solo run. So far, the checkpoints are utter shit (but this isn't exclusive to Halo 4), and you often respawn in the exact opposite direction that you need to go. I will say that the Prometheans are fairly easy to deal with so far, but I just got to the part of the third mission that I absolutely abhorred in my first run (Banshee run, bleh). That put a halt on things for the evening, may have to search for a cheap way around that section.On that note...this is the first Halo game where I don't have a desire to go back and restart the campaign. I can't think of a single mission right now that I want to go back through.
Hell, even Personal Ordnance in SpOps would have been a great feature. Then again, so would medals, scoring, skulls, theater... :-(
and ammo.
no because this game is a $60 beta
I also don't understand the audience for COD Halo.
I think we have found 343's crazy Marty 1.5/5.
I kind of see where he is coming from though, still it's Nintendo bro.
edit- and for the record I've been having a lot of fun playing a ton of Black Ops 2 multiplayer on the pc with friends. I just feel Halo should be different, its own special thing like it used to be.
Stop it. Reach was the $60 beta.
