In other news, I got the Weekly for 12 CQCs fairly easily when I started trying.

KotH > Adrift

Just go around smacking shit. Also helps you can make a mad dash to a sword at the start, though I didn't need it.

TBH KotH is good for grinding challenges in general because of all the chaos.

God, I hope the Spartan Ops midseason break is more than just a winter holiday, and instead theydo some serious retooling. I'm not gonna play another 5 episodes of the same terrible stuff. If there's not a significant improvement I'm going to punch some eggheads!

It's gonna be the same shit, just a new rotation of maps. They are going on holiday break I would bet.

At the very least, we're getting new maps. I'd really like to see some new bjective types too. Defending generators in Ep 5 was okay, but they could probably do something neat by putting, like, extraction or something as part of a mission? Anything to add options for how to approach a mission would be nice.

This reminds me, are there any multiplayer maps set on Requiem that haven't been used in SpOps yet? I think I recall reading Vortex is supposed to be on Requiem, so I'd be very surprised if there weren't missions there at some point.

Some weird bug.

It happens randomly in Reach and Halo 3 but rarely. Guess whatever condition causes it to occur is always occuring in 4.

Someone mentioned upthread that you can work around it by never rewinding the theater film before you make a clip. If you make a clip without rewinding, the announcer will be there.
 
Ghaleon is probably just retiring from Halo OTs so he can begin work on Destiny OTs. For real though, I'd imagine what seems to be more of a co-op focus in Destiny will something campaign/Firefight(RIP) fans will really like.
 
Gutting that Ghal is not making the OT, I vote that we just use Kyle's OT's from now on for comedic value alone.

Connections on Halo 4 where terrible tonight, I hope thats not a long term side affect of the TU

Am starting to get pretty worried about Dax. Anyone heard from him? EDIT: he was last online today, thats good to see.

I'M KING OF ROCK, THERE IS NONE HIGHER. SUCKA MC'S, SHOULD CALL ME SIRE. TO BURN MY KINGDOM, YOU MUST USE FIRE. I WON'T STOP ROCKIN TIL I RETIRE!

I think the one major problem I have with Team Regicide is that the king gets so many points that he never really loses the crown. It kind of just snowballs.

Was Firefight really not that popular enough for it to get completely removed after being featured in two games? I look at stuff like ME3's multiplayer which is apparently still going strong although that's been supported by free DLC.

Class-based Firefight mode for Halo 5 pls.

I don't think Firefight wasn't popular, I think they just wanted to do something similar and in their view having both would be redundant. You make a good point with ME3. Wave-based survival modes are big and maintain a solid playerbase if you look at Horde, ME3, and Zombies. I'm sure there is still a solid number of people playing FF in Reach.

With Halo 5, 343 needs to scrap Spartan Ops, take Firefight from Reach with all the customization, bring back all of it, and expand upon it. There are so many ways you can build upon FF. It has more variability than SO and has a higher replay value. Spartan Ops is a cool idea, but unless you can create and provide new locations on a weekly basis, it is going to get boring quickly.
 
You see that dark area over there?

That is the regicide playlist, you must never go there.
Was reading some of the Halo 4 game guide last night. Interviews mostly, multiplayer specifically.

One of the goals of Halo 4 was "Halo for all". One of their design strictures was that a skilled player should be able to dominate a weak player. But Regicide was designed to be the exact opposite - to discourage the best players from finding the weakest ones and running them over. So the scoring was designed to allow totally new players to eek out a win in the final moments - give them their first hit of dopamine - that dragon that they'd chase for the next 1000 hours of multiplayer. In other words, Regicide wasn't meant for most here.
