SR33, I'm pretty sure. I'm almost there myself.
If I had my way, the Gauss 'Hog, Scorpion and Mantis would be removed from matchmaking; The first two have never worked in multiplayer and I'm not sure why 343i thought that they would in this game. Mantis just seems OP to me. Once you've destroyed the other Mantis, it's very easy to spawn kill the other team on Valhalla.
I've got a feeling that 343i are going to try and balance everything instead of cutting things however.

Then why not just say this in the first place instead of wasting time doing what you were doing? Why not just ask for examples? And why single out my comment? Doesn't this post by WJD have the same problems?
Besides, now you're being vague. What is it that you want me to elaborate on? Is it the putty comment? The Mass Effect comment? Though I gave an explanation for that when I said it might be the bloom.

Maybe because I read this really late, but this post had me dyin'
Who designed this ugly, worthless, information-free UI!?

Many of this games problems dissipate when you play slayer pro. Slayer pro is a very good playlist. At the minute I'm enjoying the multiplayer but I think mlg could make this an exceptional Halo game, instead of an arcade Halo game - Seinfeld: "Not that there's anything wrong with that"

Not with randoms, that's for sure.
I'm still on my first playthrough on normal, and it's a lot of fun. I can see Knights being annoying on higher difficulties though. The teleport mechanic just isn't fun.

More competitive, really?
The long kill times become really apparent in that playlist though since you'll see less team-shooting because there's no radar.
That was my response as well. It's a glitch, therefore competitive. Oooookaaaay.
Does it generate when screenshots are taken? I was hoping we'd be able to show that in pics of maps are shared; finding places or angles with good lighting is going to make a difference.

Haven't had a problem with the kill times in slayer pro thus far but then I've only really played less than sterling opponents in there. Speaking of radar, traditonally I've always preferred it in my Halo. In Halo 4 though, I think I prefer it without. It has far too much range on the standard playlists, shows elevation (a mistake) and is cluttered with shit, particularly in btb.
Ghaleon, have you played btb yet? Thoughts?

Join in Progress... fucking JiP.
It has many good aspects. And many not good aspects.
I'm still not sure where I come down. I don't think it's a bad game, but I'm not enjoying it as much as I'd hoped.
A couple times. I'm not a fan of Infinity Slayer, every game feels like Heavies. So I'm hoping a BTB objective game rotates in at some point.

sig is coming up on his 48th straight hour of streaming for those interested. when I watched him last night he was nearly passing out. He kept pausing and falling asleep for 5 seconds then waking back up. How he kept going through the night is beyond me.

Nope.
Okay, that's quite disappointing. Toss this one on the pile of things I hope gets patched up. Even if the lighting is just generated for the screenshot.

I think it is. Most fun I've had playing Halo in a long time. But I'm not as "competitive" as others.

So did 343 create insanely long hallways in Halo 4's Campaign strictly because of sprint? Seriously, sprint-stop, sprint-stop, door, door opens, door locks - enter either portal, elevator, press button (using your palm, side of hand, or any variation of fingers), or insert Cortana...
There are already power weapons everywhere. Infinity slayer is the biggest cluster fuck I've played since Shipment in CoD 4.
To be clear, I find this game to be better than Halo 3 and Reach; but that really isn't saying much at all.

If slayer pro had a decent 4 shot utility weapon and none of the random ordnance junk I would be all over this game.
Right now I have all but given up on it and am just grinding ranks and wasting time on it.

I completely agree, H4 is awesome.
The one other thing that makes Slayer Pro need more gametypes is the fact that there's no radar. When was the last time HALO had anything first person without radar, besides SWAT? It's totally broken and probably the most blatant ripping of other games' gametypes (all the deatmatch pro stuff in every CoD the last 4 years).

Do you really need a 4 shot weapon to like Halo? I recall the kill times are about the same as previous halos.
Ordnance are not so random, it's the same drops every time. Have you not noticed scattershot dropping bottom mid on Haven every game. Their set and at exact times.
Already gave up and it's been less than a week. Geez

The pro/MLG/hardcore/tryhard playlist has had no radar since Halo 2 >_>
Are you serious?
Halo 2 Snipers
Reach Snipers
It's a million times better without radar.
Team Hardcore and MLG were both objective and slayer based, and neither had it.
I think it's great. Nerf (I'm looking at you, SAW) and buff some things, and you've got yourself a nice game.
Thanks! Campaign felt very underwhelming.
Had a lot of fun playing MP but that's because I donged on everyone til they left.
Sooo a total of three - my bad. I don't get why there isn't a playlist that's not either the catchall for everyone, with shitty maps/random weapons/imbalanced teams, or an MLG-based gametype. Good one.
The point is that the only old-school playlist, something that would be nice to know is consistent to Reach if nothing else, doesn't have the staple of the franchise - constant radar that is omniscient unless someone is crouching.

Thanks homies. I'm close too.
That made me laugh too.

Yeah, was not a fan of the combat this go around. I think it was probably the worst "AI" we've seen in Halo. The story was good, even with the "cheese" factor.
I'm REALLY glad the covenant aren't speaking english anymore.
I really like the MP, but I've only put in about 8 hours so far, but I already like it way more than I ever liked Reach.
I don't even...

Just got there about a half hour ago.
You get probably 10 more backgrounds? I could be wrong. But I got the one I want, which is the gear background. So now I'm happy.
It seems kind of silly that you have to unlock things like that, but oh well.

SO now that we had some games under our belt what are people's thought on the multiplayer?
Personally the randomness needs to go. They created a great game, but the randomness really mess things up. The ordnance system should only be used for powerups.
Giving people weapons encourages camping. Not only that there is no way to prepare or counter the other team if they get something good.
The Binary rifle is not rare and it should never come up in infinity slayer.
On Exile get rid of the tank and put the Mantis there. The Mantis does not belong on Ragnarok. It forces teams to stay at their base to much. The Mantis shouldn't exist at all, but if they want it on a map put it on Exile.
Complex is a bad map mainly because it is too big for infinity slayer and it gives people on the high ground way too much of an advantage.
Haven, Adrift, and Solace have been the best maps so far.

Crossing fingers for the next playlist update to remove Plasma Pistols from any gametype with vehicles.
I think it's sillier that for load out items and the emblems both have a #/# unlocked count that's not reflective of what you actually have from the total of the game's offerings, and is merely just two of the same number.
