Yeah, with the DMR (and BR) being 5-shot I still see a good amount of people running away before I can put the last shot in. Really wish it was a 4-shot kill instead, especially on small maps with a lot of corners.

Eff that. The game is already plenty fast.

Trying out MP for the first time now. Hope it goes well for me.

Waypoint now recognizes my game progression.
Still don't know why "Resume Campaign" takes me to Mission 4, last played was the ending.

I like this game. I really do. There are a few issues with it, and I wish some of the changes were back to how they were. I actually like the new CTF dynamic, but want to be able to play it the old way occasionally.
 
Oddball is so damn fun again! Easily my favorite objective gametype. I can't wait for Extraction to come out too.

All these gametypes are enjoyable, with a few exceptions (CTF Adrift).

I like it too, so the only changes I would make to CTF are that damn KILL waypoint and adding the option to drop the flag for customs.

Game is great. Gets more fun every night.

Indeed

"Online XP limit reached"

Oh well :(

Edit: Adding the Red X above a teammates dead body would be wonderful for my visual pleasure. Tells me where the enemy usually is and is just refreshing hearing someone yell "He's one shot on my X" in swat. haha

Why is there JiP in Objective playlists?
Why is there not a general JiP cutoff when a game is ~50% complete?
 
I couldn't find a better picture but it is totally you.

The movie is pretty good. Close to casino royale good; maybe better. I need some time for the new movie smell to wear off.

lol doppleganger!


Just wanted to point out what a huge opportunity missed by not putting these quality terminal vids in the actual game. You know how well-received Sadie's story was in ODST.. ;[

About the mission "Reclaimer"

I'm up to the part when you have to target the second AA thingy and the Covenant ship disables the Mammoth. I've tried going through this level twice on Legendary now, and it always stops working at this point (the Wraith and the two Ghosts just keep respawning). I THINK that by targeting the AA and destroying it before the Mammoth gets disabled, you break the game. I honestly don't get it... You're given a clear window to destroy the AA and the Mammoth only fires when 343i allows it to, so why is that the bad thing to do?

Argh. At least now I think I know what I'm doing wrong, but come on. This is so fucking frustrating. If you don't want the player to do something, don't let them... Don't trap them in an endless spawn of vehicles, unable to progress further into the mission instead.

Have to restart for a FOURTH time now.

Heckfu what are you doing?
I went into my own party. Barrow was supposed to save that fourth spot for Tuna when he got done but didn't lock the party.

Didn't feel like being a dick and asking you to leave so I'm just going to wait until he gets done and play with him.

The endless spawning was the opposite of what happened to me lol but we reached that same point.
Mammoth got disabled, I cleared all the enemies, game never let me progress so I had to restart. Once I redid that part, the Covenant ship dropped in which wasn't happening before. Imagine having to redo that solo on Legendary ;[

I think I'm already bored of the MP in this game. I played it pretty hard for the first few days, and now I'm just not interested in playing it. It feels like I've done it all before over the past few Halo games, and this one is a little bit better, but not enough that I want to keep playing it. Halo 4 MP is so much like Reach, H3 and H2, it plays better than the H3 and Reach, and about the same as Halo 2 (although 2 had better maps). But, it's not close to Halo CE, and because it's not different or unique enough, I find it hard to keep playing something that I feel like I've played for 1000's of hours before.

It feels good, and plays pretty well, but I just don't care, I get a "been there done that" feeling, especially when playing 4v4 Slayer. Almost feel like I put my time in, and if I'm gonna play Halo MP, I'm gonna play goofy gametypes or objective, or just try and play Halo CE more often. I guess I'm just over it. Need a new interesting shooter to come out that plays well and isn't just the same stuff with a few different features and new coat of paint.

I tried Recon, B melee feels so wrong. :(

I know man, I've had a hard time deciding on control scheme. I gave up Recon in Reach because of all the sprint beatdown battles. But in Halo 4 that doesn't happen as much from my experience. Time to re-learn Recon I guess.

Yeah. Just one of the reasons why I hate tightly scripted sequences in games. The moment you do something that the game wasn't expecting, it all turns to shit.

Just played a full team using hard light shield.
Just as annoying as armor lock.
So bad. I screamed. Several times.

I know that feel. I've noticed quite a few players using it as a last stand kind of thing... Which is god damn annoying when you've already used your two grenades.

343, please remove the Scorpion, Mantis, and Gauss Hog from matchmaking. They make BTB and Dominion miserable.

I feel the same so I'm just running around with troll loadouts which is what I usually do when I get bored of CoD games.

I just went back to Dark Souls lol. I might try some goofy loadouts, but that fun only lasts for so long.

Plasma pistols + sticky grenades in your loadout. Problem solved. I love destroying vehicles in this game. The gauss hog is the only thing that I think should not be in matchmaking. The Scorpion on Exile is not that bad and the Mantis is not as powerful as I'd thought it would be. Dominion is just overall terrible imo so don't know what to say about that. I enjoy BTB in this game though (despite JIP issues which are numerous and frustrating).

Problem is with Halo 4 is that you can't get very trollish/outlandish with loadouts since the perks aren't all that game changing which is nice for people who want Halo to stay Halo but boring for experimentation.

Nothing like the ridiculous loadouts you can do in Shadowrun, Glider-Minion-Strangle, or Glider, Smartlink, Wired, Minigun Dwarf (or as I like to call it RoboDwarf/Dwarf-1000). It's good that they made it more Halo, because that's what most people want. But it's not enough like the best Halo (CE) so it's a damn good game, but just another mediocre Halo game compared to CE.
