That was an extremely fun match, but yeah its not very interesting to watch. We won by 2 kills.
yeah, it sucks, thats the glitch.

Have you checked out Ragnarok in matchmaking today?
It's been fixed? Awesome! Has Complex been fixed?
What about Haven? That also has 2 glitches that let you get inside walls.
Because juices is bad.
Why is it that Halo sucks when played alone?
Never have this issue with Call of Duty. Nor really with Battlefield 3.
I get really stupid teammates. You know, the sort who drive Warthog into a rock and don't know how to reverse. Or people try to use BR at DMR range. Or people are just plain stupid and run directly through open ground to enemies.

I'm not talking about that though I'm more referring to aspects of the game that are frustrating because of their design or implementation. Maps are meh for the most part, matchmaking has tons of issues, JIP is terrible, file shares not working, lack of customization, etc.
And game mechanics such as flinch, the Boltshot being a loadout weapon, and armor abilities that hurt the flow of the game and/or take little skill to use such as the hardlight shield or promethean vision. Just to name a few.
I fully expect some of these to be fixed in the coming weeks and months while others I expect will stay in the game.

slow match / map feels too big (edit: for no radar) / i need coffee
I didn't read the video description until after my nap, hah. I know that feeling, though. I was practically squealing during my first match of Halo 4. And it was on Solace, the map I was most excited about!

Haven and Complex fixes are in-progress.

One man can't make a team win in Halo, but in CoD one guy camping up a shit storm raining hell on folks definitely can win a game for the team lol.
Except maybe in Swat 1 man could win a game for the team.

I've personally seen it happen in every Halo game.
Remake map should have been Containment... just saying
No, but I'll stop before I dig myself in any deeper.
I'd rather have a team of constant positive k/d spreads, than 1 guy witha massive + spread, then you have this anchorman and a half who is like 3 and 20 feeding the other team.
I've seen 1 man RUIN an entire teams chance of winning in Slayer easily by being AFK or just being a BK, but I like to think I can hold my own fairly well that 1 man can't ever run rambo on my team as long as I'm on it.
halo requires team-shooting to win.
I play COD exactly the same way i play Halo, i'm mobile, never camp, prefer close-to-mid range combat, pretty much ignoring killstreaks. Yet i have no problems playing like that. I don't win games for my team in COD, there i don't give a shit about winning. In Halo 4, i don't either but whenever i go alone, i get so stupid teammates (that one CTF match was okay) and camping teammates the game just ain't fun.
I don't do that with if i play in splitscreen with a friend. Yet the game is fun, losing or winning. Alone, it is not, no matter whether there is teamshooting or not. And it ain't about winning anymore in Halo 4.
Call a spade a spade, Ghaleon.

any word on the grenade and boltshot glitch?
I do agree lone wolfing it in H4 sucks. I always lose. I may go positive spread more often than not, but it just gets frustrating without people talking to you about where enemies are, etc. I miss the wild west days of XBL before party chat.

I dont know what they were thinking adding instant respawns in KOTH, is a frag fest in small maps.
They look like a football team in a training camp and Palmer is her drunk coucher, they are just having "fun" and its really depress me.

it's much more difficult to carry a team in Halo than CoD, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. it's just more rare
also long nades don't seem like a game breaking mechanic at all. there's a distinct risk/reward trade-off with them, namely accuracy of grenades versus distance. Seems like a very balanced glitch to me

I'll be honest. Your guys' silence earlier was discouraging. But now that you guys are talking about fixes and improvements, you have me giddy again.
Sigh, the Boltshot shouldn't be classified as a glitch.
There's also this bug where Sniper headshots don't award the proper medal, but body shots medal instead.
One thing i don't like are Commendations. In Reach they were pointless. Now they're just plain annoying. I want those visor colors. Like, this week, not in a few months, some of those commendations will take months for me to finish.
Splatters are especially hard, weak vehicles combined with splatters not registering...
I don't mind leveling and unlocking systems, what i don't like is a system that forces me to either play the certain way (as commendations do), is highly dependent on luck (as some commendations are) or just takes too long (as all the commendations do). I'd keep playing after i don't have anything to unlock anymore, assuming the game is fun. But systems that are any of the three i listed... It does not encourage me to play, it turns me off the game. Even though i like it otherwise. I don't like playing if i know there is something i want but it is unreachable in practice.
Chatting has nothing to do with me not having fun. Hell, whenever i play with GAFers, i tend to keep my mouth shut, i barely even call out enemies (sorry 'bout this guys, usually happens with groups larger than 5). The knowledge i have competent friends at my side makes the game fun

You would probably not be amazed at how busy we are right now.
Keep the grenade one in
It auto-reloads while pressing x, unless 343 hired someone from Tekken it's a glitch.

My Dew XP is broken and every match I apply doesn't work. I've read around teh webz and other people are having the same issue. Know of anything about this issue? Is it being resolved?

I have the same problem. If you figure things out, shoot me a PM.
You can hide inside some of the rocks. Because they're hollow.
We haven't played together yet I just realized. This is like Money Maker Mike without Krispy Kreme.
UI - Issues that have been mentioned many times before. Most notably (for me) is the active roster. When I launch active roster while in a lobby I have to scroll past 16 names to see my friends list.
Weapons - Fix the grenade super throw glitch. Fix Boltshot instant reload glitch.
Annoyances Gametypes - Slayer Pro; remove instant respawn. Personally it feels/looks like Spartans are skating and sliding around due to the increased base speed. CTF; shorten the return time or allow a touch return (or reduced return time if you're close to the flag). It's almost impossible to return the way it is now. Oddball; remove instant pickup. Frustrating to be defending your ball carrier, have them die, and instantly become a defenseless bullet sponge due to instant pickup. Big Team Battle; needs to have objective gametypes added to the rotation.
Annoyances Game Mechanics - Global Ordnance is messy, confusing, and never seems to drop what the map actually needs. Put the Global ordnance on static timers (at the very least for symmetrical weapons such as Snipers on Ragnarok). Personal Ordnance seems to reward players who are dominating the other team. I like this in theory, but it generally leads to more domination. In a single game I can grab initial sniper spawn, get a Binary Rifle, then a Saw, all due to rolling the dice.
Annoyances Maps - Exile is unbalanced. Red team spawn is a protected, two level base with windows, shooting angles, and cover - and quick access to Banshee and Scorpion. Blue team spawn is out in the open, with no high ground, no cover, and only a Gauss Hog. Either use Forge to give Blue team a fighting chance from spawn or remove Scorpion from map.
All maps for Infinity Slayer / Slayer Pro. These maps all feel too large at times. Even with universal sprint and instant respawn you can spend a full minute (or more) just running around looking for the enemy team. An average game of Slayer Pro should not take 12 full minutes to complete; yet look at all the uploaded videos of just that scenario. Hopefully DLC or Forge maps will fit these 4v4 matches more comfortably.
Voting in General. In gametypes that only have 4-5 maps it ends up being only 1 or 2 maps that get chosen all of the time. For instance Ragnarok and Exile are chosen all the time in BTB. Weight the other maps to show up in voting more often.
Custom Games Options Instant respawn disable/enable doesn't seem to work. Give us the option to turn off auto pickup of objectives.
Spartan Ops I have thoroughly enjoyed the Spartan Ops content. The writing, at times, can feel a little shallow and repetitive. Give us the option to vote on what difficulty setting we would like to play. Choose your level, match us up, let us vote at that point.
Campaign Enjoyed it. Beat it solo legendary before trying any other game mode even though I really thought I would jump straight into the multiplayer. Some of the AI can feel a bit cheap at times with instant kills (the Wraith AI in particular is really dominant). Overall the art direction, music, scope, and cutscenes were top of the class. I can't think of a single other game that comes close to Halo 4 in these aspects.
Glitches In campaign some Promethean Knights will teleport and appear in random and illogical places. Such as a mile up into the air playing at being Superman.
Forge Others are much more qualified to detail constructive criticism on this point.
Anything Else Turn on Friendly Fire. There should be consequences for shooting rockets and throwing grenades around teammates. All this has done is switch the griefers from AR bursts to ghost/mongoose splatters.

Random global ordinance (as opposed to weapons on map) I'm with you on. Loadouts are fine. Killstreaks? You mean personal ordinance? That's fine to as it's only in two gametypes.

The main problem I have with sprint is that it doesn't flow well with the combat. Constantly having to stop suddenly from one speed to the next doesn't sit well with Halo's combat, I feel.
He's talking about the glitch that wipes out your loadout settings, dear.
wow didn't know this and haven has also walls that are jump through?
Please keep the super grenade throw in <3
The Boltshot one is probably gamebreaking instant reload is bad.

Ah, did not know about that. Thought it was along with the rest of his post, a sarcastic reply. (Also I like sprint).
Hey when are you guys gonna fix the U.S. School tuition being too high?
and global warming?

also there's a glitch that makes it so the only way to change your loadout is to do the option through the start menu. You don't get a choice at the beginning of a match at all
