Nope, all Halos (I think. Reach and H3 had it for sure) have that. I find it pretty handy when using a sniper on smaller maps.
It also coincidentally is really helpful if you're rolling with the fishstick control scheme.

I like the hold to zoom in and zoom out feature. It's just zooming in once, and then holding to 2x feels like another click should go out instead of to 2x again.
UI bug?
In spartan ops, one guys username made the whole interface shift down, halfway off the screen.
Are you talking about how
Click to first level of zoom.
Clickhold to get to second level.
Once you let go of the hold, it will go back to the first level.
Clicking normally goes back to second level.
That's been around for a while in previous Halos.
Since Reach they let you press Y to go all the way out of zoom even if you don't have a secondary.
Wow conceited much?

was it 15 characters with a lot of "W"s or "M"s?

So why are they getting rid of snipers? It is one of the most popular playlists.
Get rid of Dominion and Regicide instead;horrible gametypes.

In what way?
They should get rid of Flood IMO. Kill regicide and bring back an actual FFA playlist.

sltPoison: For a HaloGAF-related project of mine I may or may not need a few people's avatars/likenesses, but in the style of the Laughing Man, ring on the outside for text and all. Would you be interested in helping me out with that?
I had the same thing happen to me. I tried deleting and reinstalling my profile to no avail as well. I just kept doing challenges and it popped up for me after my 28th challenge.
He's wearing tennis shoes with it, believe.

My closet would surprise most of GAF. Also suits are very southern. Also that is a tux.
lot of GLAAD t-shirts?

Someone on another forum asked for opinions on ordnance. Crossposting here.
I'd be fine with personal ordnance as a playlist specific thing. It's kind of fun and rewarding. Good casual fun.
But WHY WHY WHY did they have to fuck with Halo and put in Global Ordnance. I love the idea of weapons spawning in or raining down. I LOVE the idea of HUD indicators for the weapons. BUT WHY. WHY IN GODS NAME DID THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT A RANDOM CLUSTERFUCK.
Halo matches have always had a flow to them. You fight for control of power weapons that are strategically positioned to promote good gameplay encounters. Long hallway in Pit, Sniper tower to Sniper tower shootouts. OS spawns. Etc etc.
343's excuse for making weapon spawns a random clusterfuck is
1. To end the advantage experienced players have with knowing when and where weapons will spawn
2. To promote "dynamic" gameplay because they felt matches being too similar was bad.
well...
1. Why? Why is it bad that players who put in the time and effort to learn spawn times and locations get rewarded? It's not difficult. Even complete scrubs will find out where weapons spawn in a few games. Then it only takes some basic communication and timekeeping. Hell, unless someone tells me they have the new rockets or I pick them up, I assume they will spawn around 8:45, 5:45, 2:45. And I make sure to set up to grab them.
2. Well, I don't think matches play too much alike now. Mission fucking accomplished. Don't know what was so bad about having encounters near the power weapons every few minutes. I for one loved it. Matches had a nice flow. Now its a huge clusterfuck. A team at one end might get a sniper while a team at the other end gets a needler. We've found out there is a drop SOMEWHERE on the map every 2 minutes. Doesn't matter when its picked up. Just every 2 minutes a new ordnance drop rains down. But its position and contents of the drop are random.
And there's no playlist with static drops. None at all.
And lets just all agree that Infinity BTB is fucking terrible. Personal drops in BTB turns it into heavies. Not only that but its a big fuck you to map movement.

Just because your mom sews a tag on your underwear doesn't make it any better.
yeah I KNOW there's a skidmark on that one mom I've tried washing it like 10 times and it wont come out
With the way Halo 4's spawn system works they should make the spawns work like the ordnance system and take a page from Section 8 / Section 8 Prejudice where you spawn and drop down from the sky like an ODST.

Hahaha. Nah, I just think most "gamers" need to dress nicer- i.e. not wearing cargo shorts with an "ironic" t shirt and a fedora.
Section 8 spawning and PlanetSide 2 emergency drop system is amazing.
Love being in a danger zone in PS2 and then all the sudden there are like 50 pods dropping in all around me and then you know shit is about to get real.
Other than a few glitches and missteps this game is a fucking blast to play. Haven't had this much fun with any multiplayer on the 360 since the days of Halo 3.
Active Camo and Global Ordnance still seem to be the biggest offenders for me. Neither one makes sense in the sandbox and the ordnance system doesn't seem to promote what 343 told us it was going to promote. Also, you still see the occasional hover sniper in BTB with the jetpack (and it ruins map flow in smaller maps/gametypes - so I would personally cut that as well).

GAF should release template t-shirts that can be customized if you get tagged.

It doesn't have to be anything with a label or designer this or that. A cheap collared shirt and a pair of pants that doesn't look like they have enough pockets to hold a pallet of bricks.
Plus, Halo 4's midnight launch was eye (and nose) opening for me.

Thought you might like that. And yeah, we will have to play again for sure. Nothin' wrong with complaining about a game you love. It's the toxic shit that needs to go.
I'd say just make the charge animation fixed--make you vulnerable if you commit to a blast.
How exactly did Bungie work getting the Super? Shouldn't all their work on halo games have been for-hire corporate works, so Microsoft would have owned everything?
That's different though, he's making fun of you all.
Hell no, keep going.
