Anyone want to play a subpar Halo game?
Sure, I'm still missing some achievements in ODST anyways.

CatZ karaoke on stream has me rolling right now. Guy is nuts.
That map has lightning? Why can't we have nice things?
If those kinds of tools aren't possible in the Halo engine as it currently exists, they should just start over. Write a new one. I'll wait.

Cray. I wonder which CoD is going to adopt it first.
I always thought it was Michelle Rodriguez who said that piercing line lol - Seriously, when that Pelican gets shot down and she screams like that... damn. My ears are hurting from just thinking about it.

Map list in order of goodness:
Haven
Adrift
Abandon
Solace and Complex are tied for last, but I will take any of these maps over Reach any day.

How about those new orleans pelicans?
"One of the keys to the success of the story is, we didn't pump a lot of time into figuring out who the Master Chief was, and why he was a ghost in a shell. He is a husk. He is a big green suit of armor that you move around."
--Joe Staten
I used to hold this very tight.
But I'm digging where the chief is going. I just hope he doesn't get TOO emotional. The line at the end was almost pushing it.
But I welcome the more talkative chief.
His lines don't stand out as much though.

Amazing! <3 Shipment
Which I think worked really really well for the first 3 games, but I'm really happy with where 343 has and is taking Chief. Just don't take it too far and fuck it up!
Personally, I welcome a more talkative protagonist. But part of the draw to Chief has been the mystery of who the Chief is. There's a huge mystery as to the Forerunners as well, and that sense of mystery has been slowly degrading since Halo CE, but it feels like it accelerated with the Halo Wars story. Now in Halo 4, there's not much mystery left in the universe; only the Precursors and Flood origins remain. And even so the EU has destroyed most of the intrigue of both.
What awful marketing ploy is this from?
And some reaaally strong AO.
Looks pretty.
Meh, I had a feeling about that. Right when I was beginning to care.
It's almost like they are trying to emulate actual hit tv shows by splitting the season in half.

I don't remember 343 telling us about cutting up Spops like that. They should have said so in last week's bulletin if that was the case. Or even on Waypoint's news ticker. Anything.
Just great.

Wouldn't surprise me.
Strange thing to include in a strategy guide. The mention about the hiatus, I mean.
If they wait long enough, people will forget what last episode's maps were.

I archived Karl's Spartan Ops post as the next TL;DR entry.
If you have a post you'd like to see on HaloGAF.com, send me a PM or an email. (Hint: I like posts with pictures. I'd also love a positive post to balance out the last two...)
I've got another post category for HaloGAF.com cooking. Hope you guys like answering questions.
Pulling an AMC.
If the season goes on break and we don't get a new environment(s) (MP maps don't count) then wtfwtfwtf
I can't imagine that Spartan Ops news would be the case without them telling us up front in a more formalized manner. I mean...that would be crazy. This week's bulletin should be interesting, I guess!
I think they struck a decent balance with 4, but I'm worried about how they take it forward from here. Halo 4's characterization of him works well because it plays on a very familiar thing to most longtime players - they care about Cortana on a very fundamental level in the same way that Chief does since she is consistently one of the most well-written and likable characters in the series. Without that, I don't think it'll be nearly as easy to find another bit of universal common ground.

Haven't had a single honest game yet without 2 or more quitters. Going on my 5th game now.
So yeah, Halo 2.

343, bring back the headshot flip. Death animations suck. Ragdoll for life. Was so satisfying to see people get flipped by bullets.
I always loved the weird Dolly-Zoom effect that you would sometimes get when you are killed as you de-scope.

ugh. yes. Halo 2 was tha shizzzzzzz
It's like universally the worst map in the game and yet people vote for it constantly.
I don't get how so many people can like something so bad.
Reminds me of republicans.
I reckon they vote for it because it is lopsided and not a "fair" fight. They hope to have the advantageous position on the map and not allow any of the opposition to push them out of the middle structure or off the roof of the middle building. People did this all the time on Sword Base - vote for what you can easily win.
