The shared license make any account in your console use the content you downloaded for the first time, so anyone can use your DLC content in your console to play online without trouble. The Halo 4 servers just dont allow any account except the owner use the content and even not allow the owner use the content, so yeah something is wrong with the servers.

Someone at 343i really needs to realize people want to know about changes before or at least when they are making said changes. Just move the bulletins to Monday when all the changes take effect so it's at least the night of, or better yet make it Friday and drop the Ops trailer in the bulletin.

I looked at her account and I don't see much question answering or insight into anything. She just acts like a fan.

I really love how spartans can look so different in this game. Visor colours can really pop and there are some really cool looks.
Were that the different looks that good. Ive still got Reach armory syndrome--got ODST in that game and all I wanted after that was Mark V and a gold visor to go with. This time I've got my Spidey armor and Air Assault is the new ODST so with no Mark V all I've got left is a visor (my emblem isn't in Halo 4).
It's just hard to come up with armor variants that look good and look different enough. I think that the Halo 3 options of just a few variants combined with Halo 4's visors and skins would be the best way to focus on quality not quantity.

Hey let's play Adrift! Oh wait, it just devolves into a game of stop and go. So fun!
Let's play would you rather: Motion Tracker for all players or all players with Camo?
That's where I drew the line actually. I spawn in a base and all my teammates were crouching around me, hiding and I just said fuuuuuuuuuuuck this lol
Motion camo for all trackers
Yah. Ages back on Waypoint I asked and she gave me a custom avatar to use. Don't have it now, but it was pretty awesome that she let me for however long I had it.

Radar is Halo.
Halo is Radar.
Einhorn is a man.

Yeah my sentiments exactly haha. Hasn't it been this way since Halo 3 ? Or was it 2 ?
Really though just play Slayer Pro or SWAT to fix the problem.
Speaking of waypoint and avatars, I'm still surprised that my Spartan won't update for appearance on waypoint. Only changed once since I bought it, and since then won't take into account what I look like in game. I remember a similar problem for Reach at the launch, but you'd think 343 would have took measures to fix this coming into 4. :/

I hate how the game spawns teammates near you in SWAT. I'm off in a corner, stealthing around, gathering info on the enemy position, when all of the sudden a bunch of idiot teammates appear next to me and start running around and shooting, immediately giving away my position and the upper hand I had about five seconds ago is totally lost.

I used to agree, but then I played a ton of MLG in Reach, and now I'm a naysayer. The way it promotes movement, awareness, and communication is dreamy. No radar > radar.
Mine has always updated. Not sure what does it, but I've changed several times and it's been keeping up with it.
Fuck that noise. Run and hop around like you own the place. That's how you get 1st place in SWAT like me.

Well damn it...now I'm really curious wtf is effecting mine updating. I've tried signing in and out of waypoint to see if that fixes it, but no dice. :/

So Murder Miners is getting a new update and better skins.
Oh and split screen
More weapon skins than I have in 24 hours of playing Halo 4.

Well, Dominion got tweaked, the score progress is more slower so yeah now it gives you the oportunity to fight back when the other team got two bases.
I haven't had that problem. Mine usually updates within a few hours (not that I constantly check. Normally just look at my stats at the end of the day and notice... so it could be sooner).
Tried changing stuff in the main menu instead of a multiplayer lobby?
...
I was about to give kudos to whoever linked the Crimson map pack video from Youtube in the weekly bulletin, but when I went back to watch it today I noticed that they replaced it with their built-in player... I really don't understand that. Is there a way to change the quality from "auto"? It can get rather terrible. I'd rather wait 30 seconds for something to buffer and be in 720p then to watch the pixelated mess that usually comes from the Silverlight player.
That happened to me last night too. I got on for a few games of Dominion with friends and I had 3 games of double XP, but I used all of my double XP forever ago. Who knows.
but without a radar how will I know where people are
I'm all for multiple modes of radar in future games.
-No radar
-Only teammates
-Visible when firing(similar to Call of Duty)
-Movement(similar to Halo 1, 2, 3)
-Movement and elevation(similar to Reach, 4)
-Always visible

As someone who likes radar I feel id be fine with this compromise

Yeah, the more options, the better. I always wished MLG in Reach had teammates only radar.
Can someone explain this sentiment?
It's like people complain that Halo is too much like CoD but then want to disable something which makes Halo's gameplay somewhat unique to other shooters...?
To those who have gotten random Dexp matches; Did you ever redeem any Dexp when hitting the cap by accident? Maybe you're getting your refund!!
Random thoughts on how to fix IS (BTB included)
1. Ordinance Drops restricted to base ammo only (left being grenades, right being secondary, up being primary)
2. Return of Static Weapon Spawns, but High/Mid tier Power Weapons ONLY. No need for PPs, BRs, or anything else around the map. Maybe grenades.
3. Removal of BoltShot as available Secondary Weapon. There is quite literally no reason to give any player the ability to spawn with a shotgun, unless it's a Fiesta gametype.
Question; What's the deal with Vehicle Spawn Timers? Sometimes the tank spawns faster than the Gauss on Exile after being destroyed. Sometimes the banshee only spawns one time for the entire match, even when being destroyed in the first 3 minutes. Sometimes the Gauss only spawns twice, even when being destroyed fairly quickly.
Other things that can be worked on;
The introduction of Specializations is very awkward. Today I encountered my first 'stealth mod' opponent. Didn't show up on PV, Entirely ruined the moment when he happened to still be around the corner that I thought he had retreated from.
You cannot remove stealth from a game and then grant it only to those who are high enough level to unlock it. After playing so long without stealth, it gives the opponent so much of an advantage... especially when having a boltshot or any other sort of power weapon.
Personal Ordinance in general needs tweaking. There should never be the possibility of the following;
A. One team being granted better power weapons than the other team. Playing BTBIS last night, myself and a team mate were given the option for Needler/Shotgun/OS 4 times total. The enemy team had Rockets, Snipers, etc.
B. Anyone being granted a Spartan Laser on a BTB map. This should be a map specific spawn. You spawn with stickies and PPs. You have more than enough power in your spawning hands to take down vehicles than any game prior, so why hand out the ultimate anti-vehicle weapon as an ordinance? You have the possibility to grab laser off spawn, destroy a Hog/Banshee, and get another laser in your ordinance. Too much map dominance based on a random factor.
I hope you guys aren't reading this in a crying-14 year old voice. Just throwing out some ideas.

Look at my post quoted a few posts above yours. Removing/limiting radar promotes movement, awareness, and communication. You can't run around and then camp at the first sign of a red dot. You have to be constantly aware, communicate with your team mates to keep track of enemies out of your line of sight, and keep moving to evade/intersect enemies. God, even just talking about it makes me want to play some Halo, lol.
Pretty sure the preference for no radar games started way back during Halo CE.

This is a good idea, I've always felt that the maps feel very empty due to there being virtually no ammo anywhere.
Mmm, never really thought of it that way. Makes sense I guess.
Oh? I only really started hearing about it during Reach. Though I guess I didn't post on forums when CE and 2 were released.
