Exile is such an awesome BTB map with a good team.

I'd say it's my favorite map. I hope future BTB maps are similar to Exile. It feels more like a classic Halo map. I don't hate the other maps, but Exile feels immediately familiar to me for some reason.

The layout just feels "right", same with Longbow. The more rock-y like levels are iffy.

 

[Franklinator]

I'd like Exile if it weren't for the vehicles. I like the layout.

Halo 2 anniversary.

Team BRs (strictly BRs, no AAs, loadouts, etc) on Midship.

[Poker Face]

So...seeing that armor lock gif reminds me, why haven't we seen in game shots of the December map pack yet?

Reach's first map pack had a video trailer a little over a month before releasing it

 

[Fracas]

The design of Exile is decent. However, with personal ordnance and 13 vehicles, I don't like games on it. If objective gametypes get added into BTB, I'd be interested.

 

[zlatko]

Not even remotely close

This guy knows.

I sold my copy of Reach over Armor Lock and hated the game and the lack of give a damn from Bungie until FINALLY much further down the road they added in playlists I could play to avoid it like the plague.

This game has nothing that makes me want to stop playing its MP over. I find any of the abilities slight annoyances at most. P.Vision I can still out shoot the user of and use it to my advantage.(I'll crouch, stand, hologram, take 2 feet forward, and they'll empty ammo into it thinking it was me coming around the corner) Jet pack isn't the stupid levels of say what you could do on Uncaged in Reach with it. Camo while good still hasn't flustered me since I can still spot them usually before they get the first shot off, plus if you look at the blue markers on radar you can get about 70% zeroed in on where you should be looking for them.

As for maps, Reach had some of the crappiest offerings ever before map packs. Zealot had to have its top half removed. I may dislike Complex on smaller game types, but it isn't Zealot levels of shitty.

I'm still of the mindset of the only things for MP that really need tweaking is making DMR not so damn prominent and that map voting may be better off taken out so I'm not stuck playing Halo 4: Ragnarok and Haven Edition.

I never really had any trouble with the amount of vehicles on the map. Never felt overwhelming and are easy to take down.

if they really do a port then i dont see why they would try and add things like the abilities.

Halo 2 was the best. Or at least had the best maps.

If they do it, then one of the things I'd like to see is that the BR has a H2 skin where it looks like it did in H2/H3 for the playlist. That'd just be a nice touch.

H2 needs to be on the next Xbox. NEEDS.

Relic is great, but would be terrible in h4 with the 3x zoom dmr.

 

[BuggyDClown]

hmm what could be the token you get.. if it is a armor skin or the fotus armor I'm in, is it a Avatar token I don't care, my avatar has enough stuff

They wont and shouldnt ever give out FOTUS. That would be fucked to LE console buyers. Pretty sure they said this before.

 

[IHaveIce]

Halo 2 HD preinstalled on the nextbox at release. Do it Microsoft.

With multiplayer and everything.

 

[zlatko]

No way in fuck we'll get that. You'll get the H3 Anniversary on it though.

MSoft plans for games every year is always a bit of a mystery, but it revolves around Gears Halo and Forza. We know we got a Gears game next year so I think we'll get the H2 anni. to help close out the 360, so we can get on that 720 hype train for H5 in 2014.

Place bets: Will H5 be a launch title for 720, or will we have to wait for its release and the console will be out already?

i think they should put all xbox 1 games on digital and have them online enabled.

You said you stopped playing cuz of Armor Lock yet you list other problems you had with the game which greatly outshined Armor Lock.. Bungie took AL outta MM, but Reach's core gameplay was the bigger problem.

Saying Armor Lock is worse than the core problems of Halo 4 is extremely naive IMO.

H5 at Nextbox launch if MS is smart. Put an end to the question "is the 'killer app' dead?"

whats wrong with the core reach gameplay?

 

[orznge]

whats wrong with the core reach gameplay?

well, for starters, if you are strafing one direction it takes upwards of five minutes to start strafing in the opposite direction

 

[User 73932]

lol overdoziz.

 

[Wizman23]

OT, but after reading the OP over on the gaming side for Planetside 2 the description of that game is what I always thought Destiny would turn out to be.

 

[Pop]

Just a heads up, the PDW is amazing and EOTech sights pretty much get rid of recoil entirely.

Halo!

MP7 bro all day

In Blops2 defense, the game has a lot more variety. Zombies, rank, CODcast...etc

 

[The Lamonster]

Woah. Same here. I had never even heard of it. Hopefully we hear something from Bungie soon before they slip into obscure irrelevance. Seriously...at least make an announcement and show some concept art.

 

[Karl2177]

lol overdoziz.

So good.

 

[IHaveIce]

lol overdoziz.

what did he do ? Something in the waypoint thread again ?

 

[Sanjuro]

My best memories of Halo 2 were certainly the maps. Using some of Halo 4's abilities, the game could certainly be just as enjoyable.

I'm fine with dual wielding not returning.

 

[daedalius]

whats wrong with the core reach gameplay?

Bloom, inertia, nuclear grenades, health packs, shield/melee, no bleedthrough, no stopping power, ease of double melee, probably more I'm not remembering.

Mad paint skills breh.

Another HaloGaf montage coming in the future? I haz some clips.

A few things need to happen first:

- Web links to file share items.
- Announcer in theater clips.

Keep saving 'em though.

Nah, one year after the Nextbox launches, that way you have an install base of players to sell the game to, like Gears 1 for the 360.

lololololol

It won't win though, nothing really Thanksgiving related in that pic...

Problems with H4, or with Reach? Those things mentioned above for abilities do NOT ruin the game for me. Annoying at most in the right person's hands. They do not ruin the flow of combat like Armor Lock did for me in Reach. Just like Sawed Off Shotgun did in Gears 3 for me.

I definitely had other issues with Reach though, map selection, bloom being ridiculous, and a few other things, but I still played Reach a fuck ton either way. I'm alone, but Reach was my favorite MP fun with Halo after a lot of updates. It wasn't perfect by any stretch, but the things done here in H4, make H4 my current favorite Halo MP experience of all time.

I missed out on the H2 Xbox 1 era---I was a poor kid and so my folks got me a PS2. I wasn't into FPS either. My first Halo game where I got to sink my teeth into MP was H3 and the reason I bought my Xbox 360.

Anyways, for me, MP wise, H4>Reach>H3>(No opinion on H2/H1 since I only got shit on at friends' houses for local play)

I love Halo 4 and especially like it way more than Reach, but I'm simply saying that Armor Lock wasn't as big a problem in Reach as things like Instant Respawn and random Ordnance Drops will prove to be in Halo 4 if it isn't changed (much like how AL was removed from many MM Playlists).

I view AL as an annoyance, whereas some of the problems with Halo 4 are fundamental changes to how Halo has always been played.

Ahhhhh motherfuck yeah. Off for Thanksgiving for the rest of the week.

Who wants to bro out on the couch with some Halo 4 with me? All week baby, BABY!

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

I wonder what the stats say about people choosing Grenades in their Personal Ordnance.

 

[Shadders]

I learned everything I know about thanksgiving from the Simpsons and Kenan and Kel.

> It's close to Christmas
> Massive turkey (lots of baste)
> Yams (whatever the fuck they are)
> Some sort of table display, made by your kid (this is important to them apparently)
> The homeless and Vagrants are forgotten on thanksgiving

How do I tie Halo into this?

Person with the worst KD in the house has to make a papier-mache diorama of you shitting on their chest. You also get to slap your dick all over their plate of food, indicating your Halo superiority.
