Objectives with JiP is probably the worst design decision ever. Being a man down in those gametypes and then being unable to drop the flag?
Considering all the problems that need resolving I don't think too much of it. There's a lot that needs to be fixed and I'm not talking about our issues with game mechanics but just Matchmaking in general.

Chess is not a great example because it's a board game that has endured for thousands of centuries, not a video game that must come out with a sequel every few years and attract new players in a dynamically changing industry.
Chess doesn't have to adapt. It's just chess. Halo does.
Pretty sure they would be eaten alive for this not being Halo 2/3 HD Remix
The game has the good connection filters built in.
Haven't you gotten banned once before for using hate language like that? You post here often enough anyway to know that that isn't tolerated here.
You got me on the thousands of centuries bit. That was definitely an unforced error.
what about the rest of the post
I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or not
haha
They must have been turned off on my disc.
I'm assuming that the higher weighting on skill matchmaking means lower quality connection games. However, I expected that this would have been mitigated by the number of players in the pool to choose from.
Still, even a sarcastic remark here and there from them would be cool. Not to rain down on them or anything, I know they are busy with life, the game just launching and future stuff.

The hope that I cling to is that we're still in the early days and that the "weekly matchmaking updates" will indeed bring changes where change is needed. Keep in mind one of the major alterations they made to matchmaking was to make each gametype its own playlist, and each playlist includes its own unique take on standard gameplay. Hopefully a less random style of Halo MP deserves its own place alongside the new stuff.
By the time the first map pack is released I will either love this game or play a lot more CNN.com online crosswords.

I hope we get a playlist that isn't so rigid in its skill based searching.
I want to play with my less skilled friends, but we keep getting destroyed because it is matching us against people at my skill level.
It is no fun =\

Wouldn't you want more rigid skill matching then, that takes into account your friends skill when choosing fair opponents for the team?
Very odd time for Halo.
source? ah just a music video. lame.

Yes, exactly.
From what I've seen the system uses the highest player's skill level to match to account for boosters and such...
By "less rigid" I meant that it accounts for each player's skill level, not just the highest. Less rigid, more flexible, yeah.
Sorry for the confusion.
Straight hood ass movie "Killa Season". Laughed all the way through it.

It's a pretty easy to use - powerful - boring to fight against weapon. People are hardly going to like watching people use it lol.
I used it and camo last night for a game and got so much hate lol - I only did it once to test
It out - but so many people use it online to get a high k/d - takes away from the game significantly.
Game loads us into a CTF on Ragnarok where we're greeted to 2 Banshees & a Mantis spawn camping our base and they were up 2 caps. Game ended 2-2, feels good man.
I also feel weird with all of the negativity going around, I'm enjoying the game immensely, even with its problems...

Bobs play some halo with me!
EDIT:
Agreed. 4 has issues, but the backlash for them is exponentially worse than Reach ever had to endure. Regardless, i'm still enjoying the game as well.

Their weekly updates sound promising, and it seems we're going to get more content rolled out faster and more responsively than before (incl. SpOps, obviously). Whether or not that will be enough to keep me playing this game for months to come remains to be seen. So much of it is geared toward XP rewards and levelling (I try to make Challenges about exactly that rather than the XP they give you, but...), and I've already very nearly unlocked anything I actually need or want.
Some more 'small' maps as soon as possible would certainly help.

Just beat the campaign. The final 3 levels or so just felt like a complete chore and I was happy when it was finally over. I don't know if I'm just growing out of halo

Maybe they should just let people see a waypoint pointing to the spot where the Ordnance is going to drop.. maybe even add a 5 sec timer to it like KotH.
Isn't that what the Ordnance armor mod you get with a specialization does? Yep, should've had that as a default feature if they were serious about keeping this random for launch ;[

For me, it's ODST>CE>4>2>3>Reach. Love ODST so much, and 4's starting to really, really grow on me as I play it on Legendary.

What's a w/l ratio, brah?? Games don't matter. Wins don't matter. XP matters. Everything in the game is set up to say as much.

Bigshow dropping facts up in here.
I'm a PAX SLRPer and I'm really enjoying the game (it's not perfect obviously).
Yeah seriously, but biggest disappointment with War Games so far is the regular and severe lag. Feels like I'm playing Halo 3 at times. I extremely rarely had lag in Reach, but that hasn't been the case in H4 so far.
About JIP complaints, personally I've yet to be put into a game, slayer or objective, that wasn't within the first minute of the game.
Finished the campaign early today. I loved it, outside of few small complaints/underwhelmed and confused about the end.
The backlash is compounded by the fact that people went through Reach, and arrive at a game that's more Reach. It's Reachier in ways Reach dare not even reach.

Spartans never die...they give reach arounds.
I'm trying to remember which mission Winter Contingency was so no, Reach didn't really have a SC level.

I'd prefer a level more akin to Halo 3's "The Covenant" such an amazing big battle level with so many various combat scenarios
but the campaign definitely needed more fleshing out, especially the end, I'd say 2 levels and about 20 more pages od dialogue and it would have been amazing
It's easy to use when you get in range but it's not easy getting there.
And GGs tonight. Played a hilarious game of Oddball on Complex.
The only thing I remember about that level was Moa and pedestrian trucks.

Ha, but I think it was one of the finest levels in the game. You could tackle it anyway you wanted.

I think the thing that sticks out most to me in that level is the busted up textureless bridge that you pass by on the Falcon. You get some choice where you wanna go first once you hop into the Warthog, but that's pretty short lived. Something that I find annoying about the level is that you can find armour lock in the encounter after the Falcon ride, but immediately after that when you're off with Jorge you get set back to sprint. What is even the point of having AAs in that game.
That was always my go-to level for campaign challenges because I could never get the Nightfall forklift glitch to work. I could speed run the thing in 12 minutes flat.
In all seriousness, it's the most memorable mission for me (not saying that it's a bad or good mission), however I did like the expansiveness of the level. The pedestrian trucks added a level of fun and the environment was the most unique out of any level in Reach's campaign.
For the back of the box checklist, silly!

Man, the lack of maps and map selection is terrible. Only 5 maps for small games and 5 maps for big games?

Yeah and the small game maps aren't small by any stretch.
