Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't. I suspect it has to do with host/non-host or just connection quality in general.

Hey can you send me a message on live and ill respond with a invite. Thats an open invite to anyone btw.
Halo 3 is SO good. Feels really weird going back to it, the radar for one looks weird and tiny as hell. Being able to check when friends games are going to end and stuff is also amazing.
So nostalgic seeing these menu's.

so...did no one post this? ellis retweeted it
Kind of sad that the it's come to scrambling to the forge community for 4v4 maps when we're talking about MS's flagship game, also its most expensive ever made. So bizzare to make 60% of the maps BTB then dedicate the 4 week later map pack to... BTB. What were they thinking with the map pack and its trailer?
Not even in Forge. Make them from their main game map maker, the geometry already exists, tart them up a bit and release them, for free (yes for free, gasp!) as a gesture of goodwill to the community they profess to love so much, Cold Storage style. Really get some rotation to the 4v4 playlists.
Needs to be patched out.
Feels like the first week of the Reach Beta, on loop.
Another thing that's absurd is that as I approach SR 50 I feel like I should stop playing the game until all Specialisations are unlocked for the dirty serf, prole, stinkin freeloaders who only payed full price for the game and not the extra payment on top to have access to the content in said game they paid full price for. I only give a shit about Rogue, why the fuck would I want to enlist in the shitty ass turret walker one?
Love the community...create a paying hierarchy for already on the disc content.
Remember in the days leading up to the big, first Game Informer reveal when their journalist tweeted this
And yoink turned out to be Spartan Op's? Lol. Wish they'd gone with Theater with upload to Youtube, party theater viewing, theater with a skip to highlight function, spectator mode, sniper headshot medal, any of that really.

Pulled host on my first Spartan Ops match today. It was glorious actually being able to play it like campaign.
I can just imagine all the Bama fans flooding the gates of Golden Corral for their victory dinner.

Yep. Checked my sign-in email, contact email (email where I get my XBL rewards emails etc...), and spam for both. No dice.
Not sure why they don't just flip a switch and give them to everyone. This email thing seems so unnecessary.

The map itself was terrible, but getting a free map was sweet.
I doubt we will get free maps for Halo 4 though, I mean they are making 3 paid map packs already, so will they really dedicate resources to making a seperate free map pack?

In the effort to make everyone feel special they let it invade gameplay, game balance and the whole reason I stuck with Halo for so long. Oh well. Time to get into FPSes on the PC.

I've changed my Gamertag's email address about four times - got it on the one that is currently set.
I believe there's two different email addresses associated with your gamertag, the one you sign in with and a contact one under 'Contact Preferences' on Xbox.com, I'm assuming the latter is the one that was used to send out the codes, could be a good idea to make sure that's up-to-date and if possible check the email address set there if it isn't.
Edit:
Well there goes my suggestion.

Since people where talking about it last page I just want to chime in and say how hilarious I find it that people who paid full price for the standard edition in the UK have now been shafted. Pretty great that LE owners and now people in America can carry on ranking up, but paying customers are now rank locked and cant get perks like stability.
Of course I talk for global players and not just the UK, but I personally know people who have been hit by this in the UK.
GG 343, great way to give players an advantage because they pay more/ live in the right location. I personally got the LE so it doesn't affect me, but I know people who have now moved on to Black Ops simply because they can no longer rank up anymore.

The whole SKU bonuses thing was a trainwreck.

I thought the code/LE just unlocked the Specializations early? Are you saying they are forever locked out to those players not in the US or who didn't buy the special edition? I thought you unlocked the next Specialization whenever you rank up.
Request for the next patch:
Add a popup screen for the Offline servers.
Have it say something like "I know you want to play our game right now, but you've been given the short end of the stick and have been selected to, well... be forced to play campaign."
I'm in a party chat with my team mates, yet Halo 4 says i'm the only one online. Did they just expect the random user to understand what was going on? Do they expect me to keep resetting my Xbox only to have the same thing happen multiple times?
Bummer, dudes! Looks like I'm not playing tonight.

343 will eventually unlock them all for everyone. Who knows when that will be. That certainly isnt now.
Personally I think a lot of people will stop playing once they hit 70 because they don't want to waste out stuff like commendations. I know people who have quit because they have nothing to work towards. They may jump back when they can rank up again... but if that happens in like 3 months time going in at 70 when everyone has had all that time to rank up and unlock perks would suck.

Actually, yes. In forge you can look at all of the "random" weapon drops; each one has a series of weapons and weighting assigned to them ex: needler with a 3 weighting and a saw with a 2 weighting causing the needler to spawn more often than the saw in that location.
Also, for anyone interested you can replicate (kinda) classic spawns using the ordnance system by deleting all random spawn objects and creating initial spawn items with a respawn feature assigned to them.
I'm still waiting for that buttery smooth UI that Frankie as talking about

They might as well be entirely random since it is entirely impractical to set up for one of these drops. Unless you have that stupid "Drop Recon" perk.

To be fair it is very smooth and responsive, I have never had problems with it functionally.
From a ease of use standpoint in terms of finding stuff it is not too great, but it is really smooth. Not easy to use or intuitive, but I have seen some really clunky menu's which lag when you try and bring stuff up, at least it doesn't do that.

Still don't know how to view all files in my File Share.
There's a File Share?
Yeah, I guess he never said it was fun to use. It's backwards but boy is it smooth!

In the time I've spent with the game, I have to disagree. The menu often lags and stutters if I try to change armor/loadouts between matches. In COD, I can actually change a class within a couple of seconds if I'm fast enough; in Halo I find I'm constantly fighting against the UI.
Remember when that THC forum member played H4 early (pirated copy) and reported that Forge fine tuning was gone?
The game comes out and the feature isn't there. I guess none of us have figured out the UI yet.

I dont' know why, and this isn't a personal attack against you, but when you title your posts it bugs the absolute SHIT out of me.
Nope. They're thinking about maaaaaaaybe adding it this month though.
You've never seen the UI have a seizure when you're trying to pick a new playlist as party lead?
Yep.

Valhalla is a lot better looking than Ragnorok, from a art style point of view at least.

Bobs, leading a party? :lol
Press start and go to the File Browser. Each category tells you how many files you have in your file share for that type.
"Guess I'm confused at the hatred of the UI, it looks great. Reach's UI looks old and dated, from what we've seen of H4's (non-final) UI it looks clean and nice."

Pretty much sums up all of Halo 4 right there.
Yeah that is pretty weird, except for that though the UI has been pretty smooth for me, hard to use and hard to find stuff, but I do kind of appreciate how quick navigating through it is.
The problem is, it is smooth to use, but not useful at all. I cant do simple stuff which I could do back in Halo 3.
I enjoy hearing Elzar torture everyone with 2forts and Dominion to join or lead our parties. FFA fo life. (Till its taken out.
)Playing Halo 3 is great, nades are satisfying, Snipes are fun, BR battles are actually difficult.
Its a shame the netcode and playlist settings suck. If it wasn't for that the game would still be my go to game.
It's funny cause it's true.

It was really good, probably one of the best stories, but nothing in this one beat the sub mission in MW3, that's still probably one of, if not the coolest "things I've done" in a video game.

DAAAAYUM, ya'll givin' stinky the d stain!
Seriously though, I would chalk all that shit up to pre-release "bullshit" that devs do to keep the ship afloat.
Any word on when they are going to give us the option to remove instant respawn from slayer gametypes?
It's seriously annoying me now. I just tried to do a 1v1 and we kept respawning instantly and killing each other before the shields could recharge.
The competitive game types and forge maps that are floating around can actual be pretty fun but slayer is totally broken without respawn timers.
