Ugh I really regret buying the LE. If I didn't have the map pass I probably wouldn't even buy this DLC, I don't want any of those maps. They look like something I'd like if we were still playing Reach but that's just not good enough now.

But they already have my money so why should they care if the community gets the types of maps they want and need?

I heard that once you hit max rank, you can't change your specializations anymore, you're essentially "locked in" to the last one you pick.

What?
 
It ruins smaller maps like Solace, in which a jetpacking enemy can completely bypass the cover you're attempting to hide behind. It really frustrating when you dip and dodge to escape fire and some guy just flies above the map and shoots you from above.
Well yeah, a jetpacker can do that and get a situational advantage over you. But at the very real risk of getting shot down from multiple angles in that same moment, something I've witnessed countless times. Just about every ability and tactic in this game is going to provide you a situational advantage you can exploit - and thats OK to me as long as you pay for it with risk - you have to commit to it.

What came out around Gears 3? I have 12 games under my TV from the past 3 months to play. Even I'm only on Halo 4 every other day if that. Pair it with holidays and it's no wonder there's a dip.

MW3, Skyrim, BF3, Arkham City, there are more, last year was considered to be a big year in gaming.

my point was that the game never really recovered from it, and the population never went up.

Besides, you should apply your logic to black ops 2 as well, matter of fact is that the main culprit in the low population is the game itself, just like it happened with geisars 3, and just like happened in halo reach is possible that the TU, if its ever come, wont help bring back a significant amount of people.

BTW, i wont compare Reach numbers with halo 4, halo 4 came just a week before CoD, reach came out more than a month before CoD.

I forgot the le had the season pass. So they have an invested amount of money and literally release more of the same. Why do people still claim they are listening?

That's just the label on your player card right? Just that?

People really need to stop buying season passes. So much disappointment, every damn time. You exchange a 15% discount for having any choice in the matter of what you get. Its always had 'bad idea' written all over it.

What? That must be a lie, That's some huge bullshit if true and likely just another one to the list of over sites

All this effects is the title under your name in the lobby, this is below the bottom of the list of issues to fix.
So.. when do I get access to all the other specializations? I'm still stuck at 70. About to go buy the LE game for it.

DON'T DO IIIIIIIIIT.

People were saying the codes for playing before the 20th should be going out tomorrow? Unless you're not in the US, in which case, remind me once the codes go out and I'll give you mine.
 
Even the Reach DLC had more variety, environment wise. We had Anchor 9, Tempest, Breakpoint, Condemned and High Lands. All pretty unique environments.

I actually enjoyed the Reach DLC map packs. Too bad it was impossible for them to come up in rotation. I think I played highlands maybe three times.

Great maps. Let's recap.

The brown one was too big and used in 4v4

The space one had shield doors and was updated

The other space one was a huge circle. Again. 4v4

I don't even remember the rest.

My main concern currently are the lag issues. I have no idea how this game is 100% fine launch day, then unplayable last night. I just hope they get ironed out soon.

I had no lag last night for the short time I played, might have been on your end?

^ The circle jerk today is well justified.

Same. Just one overly long host migration. We did start an Infinity Slayer with 4 players against 1, but once again we just decided to waited at our initial spawn until the other team filled out, which in that case was under 5 seconds.

lol, Holmes doesn't give a fuq.
That's what I'm getting from his pics after seeing them here.

At the beginning of all this non-sense that is H4 I was frustrated and angry, now after awhile it's becoming hilarious. It seems as though everyone giving feedback on here or anywhere else is just falling on deaf ears. Even on their own website the headquarters for all that is Halo, 343i still gives no feedback.

He seems to be on vacation, you think he's reading Gaf and just pic-replying us? He's confusing me at this point.



You confuse me, what seems to be the problem today? I have yet to post anything without some kind of trade-off/explanation.
Jokes jokes jokes. How often do I need to post the disclaimer here?

Morning, GAF. Bulletin was... lacking in details, but at least we got pictures of the new maps.

The aesthetics of this map kinda remind me of

Terminal!

Nostalgia hit me hard when I loaded up Halo 2 to get that screenshot. :(

Overall, surprised at how grounded the maps are. Was expecting crazy alien environments or something..

Also thought it was a bit interesting that Regicide apparently had scripting issues and Solace had exploit spots (hadn't seen any yet..).

Team Regicide sounds a lot like VIP. Maybe they could backport it to Reach


ahahahaha Reach is never getting updated again
 
Its like when you see that kid who knows hes just realized hes wrong but continues to argue a bit longer cause hes so invested in it.

Josh Holmes - Posting a crybaby on twitter after 343 puts up yet another shitty bulletin. Look at your population chart! The people are speaking. (Also I urge you all to not pop in your disc to not give them those extra points if you are upset with Halo 4, instead come here and post constructive criticism)

Although ultimately I have just one question. During all the posts here about how Regicide sucks...when did you read the post that said "MAN I REALLY WANT TEAM REGICIDE!"

WHERE THE FUCK WAS THAT POST?!

I really like Halo 4, and I think the shipped maps are pretty damn good. I'm skipping the Crimson map pack because I do not play BTB, though.

It was all good just a week ago.
Gaffers feel themselves. Now crimson maps drop. Gaffers kill themselves!

Nowhere. I imagine the game type was designed during development, and it was to be one of the ones cycled in to try. They are on a schedule and sticking to it with what the playlist of the week is.

I don't think regicide is a total crappy game type, but it does suck when someone who goes 14 and 16, for k/d, wins in the end.

Team regicide should suck less in that regard. I'd just make it so leader is worth 10, after OS pops up worth 15 tops. Normal kills for players not as king = 5 points.
 
This thread is largely constructive criticism but its also filled with so much anger/snide comments and put downs that the majority of it is undermined.

A post from every user detailing what they think is wrong with the game in bullet points would be much easier and after that we could get on with our usually day to day HaloGAF. Reiterating the same thing 20 times in different ways with different salty comments thrown in clearly is not helping.

I do expect the majority of issues to be fixed/changed or explained but I'm not hopeful on a time frame for it.

Ughh I didnt even read that the maps were BTB maps!...which I guess I already knew.

I believe Firefight/Campaign are grouped in unlike Halo 4.



They are great people, but they have a franchise now. Tweeting pictures of manicures and Ford cars isn't helping us.

They can't go off a name, look at Riot and Treyarch. It's astounding they stuff they do. I'm not asking for a avatar prop I'm asking for a working game.

True but if Jessica for example is told you can't talk about this this and that then well her hands are tied. Same with Frankie and David. If anything I kind of feel for them all because 1 they did put their heart and souls into this. So it has to be crushing to see how so many dislike it and the reaction. I

That's the interesting thing - bigger maps accommodate Halo 4. This game isn't built for smaller maps - or at least it seems. Disappointing, even though I'm a BTB fan.
