I love all the UNSC and Promethean sounds but dislike what they did with the Covie sounds. All Covie weapons now sound like UNSC ones, strange.

From my experience, the game isn't kind to mixed parties of skill levels. Nothing the game can really do about it, but it seems like I'm regularly matched up against a full team of try hards, when I only have 1-2 try hards on my team.
When I was in Tashi's lobby with Ply in there and Kyle in there I was basically bait.
I may as well have been drenched in chum and thrown into a shark pool.
So we get a rotational FFA playlist with two gametypes that will be horrible with instant respawn and 8 players.
Incredible!
Not even close.
Complex is going to be up there with Isolation, Prisoner and Swordbase.
I'd say half of the maps in this game are just no fun to play on, whether that be the fault of the sandbox or them just being poorly designed.

Thanks for the small playtest we just had, GAF, map seems to work allright for just the geo it is right now. Any issues you guys had? Suggestions?
Are you talking about my Foundation Remake? Its currently in my Fileshare, but its only got 6 spawns and its pretty alpha at the moment. (I will have a properly name and 1st pass spawn version up in half an hour.)
We just tested it and apparently all the pieces get rotated by like 1 degree around their pivots when you try to load it with multiple people in forge mode.
War games loads it fine, but if I cant get multiplier forge mode to work, the spawns and gametypes might take a while.

VERY small, and not just because 343 probably has their own, better tools for MM map geo updates than crates.
(Remember how they were able to block off portions of Halo 3's Guardian with invisible, non-forgable blocking geo in MM map updates? I assume they have the ability to add visible stuff as well.)
Same here.
I'm not even playing Swat, which was my favorite game type from Reach because of the lag.
I've said it before..I find it unacceptable how this game has a worst netcode than Reach. Takes away most of my will to play.
That's cool.
But is the small chance because they don't care or something technical? Wasn't clear on that from your post. I honestly can't go two years playing it this way, especially since it's the first map I see when I jump into MM because people are quitting out of it en masse. =/
The expansive building top towards the cliff side of the map, it has the #7 on it. It's a major section to an asshole player I guess, haha..
It would be easier to forgive if the rest of the map wasn't thoughtlessly-designed mess of buildings.
What building is that on Complex? I have not had any problems with Complex, but I haven't played it that often.
I doubt they would cut off a major section of the map.

LULZZZZZ amazing
You know... Off topic to current conversation but I'm really shocked with Halo 4's ending. Aside from the obvious which I won't talk about just in case someone hasn't finished yet, but it really doesn't scream "First instalment in a new trilogy", rather it's just a standalone game. Right now story wise, I don't care for the next game... whereas in comparison, Halo 3 was hyped to hell because of Halo 2's cliff hanger ending. Granted SpOps may have something interesting for us, but right now it feels like the next game could go off in any direction. (Just conjecture based on books)
I think it's something 343i need to explore a little more with the next game. We've had a game focused on Cortana and Master Chief, now give us one about Humanity; it's time to focus on the bigger picture like the original trilogy mainly did.
I hope the Precursors play a part in the trilogy to test Humanity's worthiness to uphold the mantle, but IMO they should've been hinted at or something during Halo 4

I've had lag in some Big Team games, from one or two guys, but that's about it. All the games I've played I've had...maybe 10 matches, out of almost 500 that were laggy. Weird.

what happened to my specialization? It disappeared. I have the LE and all of my specialization is gone now.
^Thanks bro

The Halo 2 Foundation remake I am making is now set up with preliminary spawns/weapons/gametype-objects.
The corner bases still need to be made pretty, but that will come later.
It is now playable.

There appears to be better color division for orientation on that Forge map than any real H4 map lol.
Did you really laugh out loud?

Yea, base identification is pretty poor across all of the maps.
Speaking of lighting and the orientation it helps with,
I used some tricks I mentioned earlier in one of my forge lighting write-ups to cover half the map with shadow with a far off coliseum wall. (Look for it way off in the distance outside the map) It does not have that large of an effect on this map (trying to stay true to the original) but this technique of using a distant (keyword!) shadow caster can be used to give the shadowed regions more gradient-ed/smooth (lol, kinda more like splotchy with Halo 4's Forge) ambient light, resulting in better depth cues and separation.
When I make my own maps I will post screenshots of why/how this works with examples that show it off better.

This looks like the game has a higher FoV. Man I wish it was more than it is now... Feels so claustrophobic compared to games like BF3.
Heads up guys, a few sweet deals have gone live. I'm too lazy to find all the links, but just go here and you'll see the threads: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=11

Just read the Bulletin:
- Happy FFA throwback is .. back, it was fun what I played so far.
- Snipers gone. NO My only playlist that I can stand to play
-Complex is fixed since monday? lol not the Complex in Spartan Ops.
-Reduced weighting for Haven in SWAT ? What? Reduce the weighting for Complex and Abandon since the spawns are atrocious on these maps for SWAT, damn nearly every map has bad spawns, Haven was the only one that didn't make me laugh about them.
Also why wasn't sltpoison's pic featured ? it was the best one
this looks really amazing, I will download it and compare it to nilla's foundation(which is really awesome)

Good deal on asscreed 3 but not interested in Horizon even being a massive Forza player.

Confidence and persistence go a long way with 10 sensitivity, and patience if you're having an off day. If you can control it then every part of your game levels exponentially, so to answer your question 10 sensitivity with sniping is very useful, and my personal aiming with the sniper on 10 is pretty good (humbly stating). Ironically enough, I'd say it's more difficult to control 10 sensitivity up close than it is the further they are, so sniping isn't too bad (surely due to the fact that less people will be shooting you if you're using a Sniper from a safe place*).
You would think FFA's first showing would be Slayer lol - Seriously.. what the shit? I remember some people dismissing a post I made a couple months ago about 343 deliberately giving us a crappier/more limited experience (for a lack of a better term) for the sake of winning over a new crowd since the hearts of disappointed Halo fans will always be easier to win back. I mean.. if the shoe fits ;\ <3
