Uh hmmm

 

[DeadNames]

i could sketch out 30 map layouts better than the turds in this game in less than a week

wtf was the design process behind these things.

Never forget the gems of Reach.

 

[Ken]

Uh hmmm

Yes

 

[Plywood]

everyone involved with the design process and greenlighting Complex should be thrown in a volcano

*Cue montage of Halo 4 devs smiling to the tune of To Galaxy*

 

[The Librarian]

I don't think this has much to do with anything. I've liked all the Halo games. Wouldn't you be more apt to hate the game if you had a lower k/d?

Also I find it hilarious that K/D is being used to tell the "true" Halo fans.

:|

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Uh hmmm

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

:|

I seriously can't tell who's joking anymore. I've never know Karl to tell many jokes on here.

 

[YourExWife]

Abandon is probably the best map every made. I'm pretty sure of this fact.

 

[FyreWulff]

Uh hmmm

Halo 2 mode activated

 

[Tashi]

Just checked, K/D is 1.48

 

[Devolution]

K/D in this game doesn't mean shit unless you also take it account assists on top of it.

 

[IHaveIce]

I'm a scrub and have a jolkingly low K/D but still dislike most of the game, what now?

Am I the counterpart of Tashi?

 

[Bregmann Roche]

Just checked, K/D is 1.48

So you're pretty much on the fence then?

 

[The Librarian]

I seriously can't tell who's joking anymore. I've never know Karl to tell many jokes on here.

Deadly, what the fuck kind of algorithms would I run to even measure something like that? Come on!

 

[NullPointer]

1.4 KDR here.

More accurate than astrology.

I'm a scrub and have a jolkingly low K/D but still dislike most of the game, what now?

Adapt.

 

[Fracas]

Uh hmmm

This is Halo 2 level of buggy nonsense. Geez

We are different sides of the same coin. The Ying and Yang. Alpha...an Omega.

[Plywood]

Don't worry. In Halo 4, I had to unlock the emblem that I designed and sent to Bungie. It wasn't even available for me at the start.

Also, I did a bit of experimenting on Waypoint last night. Most of the people on my friend's list who are (for lack of a better term) defending Halo 4 have a K/D lower than 1.4. I really hate to bring the K/D thing into it, but there is a trend. Whether it correlates or not is something else.

Hate to repeat myself, but in regards to Halo 4: a number of aspects feel half-baked, makes me think there was trouble deciding their vision. Game really does seem like a beta at times. Still, I'm kinda liking it.

K/D: 1.94 and steadily back on the rise.

 

[malfcn]

Really tired of Waypoint crashing the console.

 

[DeadNames]

Guys, let's just say 343 revamped the playlists to get rid of global ordnance in favor of set weapon spawns, got rid of instant respawn, but kept loadouts and personal ordnance.

Would this game be good?

 

[Devolution]

This is Halo 2 level of buggy nonsense. Geez

If you switch out tags while still in Halo 4 you get all kinds of buggy shit.

 

[Ramirez]

This is Halo 2 level of buggy nonsense. Geez

Hyperbole, hyperbole every where.

 

[harmonize]

This is the second time that chapter 4 has glitched on me, making it to where the game goes to black screen, but keeps going otherwise after I get the "chapter complete".

I hesitated wording it this way before, but what the hell. This game is shit.

 

[NullPointer]

Guys, let's just say 343 revamped the playlists to get rid of global ordnance in favor of set weapon spawns, got rid of instant respawn, but kept loadouts and personal ordnance.

Would this game be good?

Not for most people, no.

Most of the changes HaloGAF wants should go into special pro playlists. Haven't played any Slayer Pro - is it pretty good?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Deadly, what the fuck kind of algorithms would I run to even measure something like that? Come on!

It was aliens.

You are a true poet.

Maybe we should become one.. Can you possibly do the fusion dance from Dragonball Z?

It would be better for sure.


Also is the Mantis new on Meltdown? Saw it today but I'm sure it wasn't there last week

 

[xxjuicesxx]

You nerds are doing it wrong, compare yourself to Tunavi.

 

[RebornYeti]

Easy way to do it is to hop onto it with the gunner alive, but weak. Stand on top, headshot gunner. Then get in the turret (instead of boarding it) and the AI driver automatically hops out and doesn't get back in.

Hmm.. I shall try this. Thanks man.

 

[Fracas]

Hyperbole, hyperbole every where.

You have people clipping into buildings, objectives falling through the map, terrible handling of parties. Boltshot glitch, super grenade glitch. People are having problems with saves/stat wipes. Then there are issues with mislabelled ordnance, killcams and fileshares literally not working, teammates showing up as enemies in Flood, first person views of guns screwing up or not appearing at all...

I didn't play much of Halo 2 on Live, I'll admit, but this game is incredibly buggy.

 

[Tunavi]

You nerds are doing it wrong, compare yourself to Tunavi.

this man speaks the truth

 

[Redford]

Nope, still need to fix the scoreboard to show up more frequently and legibly, and get rid of killcams forever.

 

[Woorloog]

Guys, let's just say 343 revamped the playlists to get rid of global ordnance in favor of set weapon spawns, got rid of instant respawn, but kept loadouts and personal ordnance.

Would this game be good?

Well i'm not really a fan of global ordnance (where's the delicious map control?) nor instant respawns (no point). So i'd like those changes.
Loadouts are something i've wanted since Halo 2 really; and personal ordnance is fun, but needs tweaking (first set shouldn't offer super weapons like binary rifle or incineration cannon, those should be available, say, third time you get stuff).

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

CoD maps are tiny as hell. Bad spawning too.

Anyways, Halo tomorrow night I think.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Only if personal ordnance was 3 options and everyone always got the same 3 options.

Otherwise its randomness.

Its mario kart Halo where if youre down you get the binary rifle but if youre up you get the bana...err promethean grenades.

 

[Trey]

Let's see 'em, then. One week.

I smell a jelyk Forge party.

 

[Tawpgun]

Unless I see a cooler chest plate, the only thing thats changing is possibly shoulders, legs and forearms.

How do you compare game stats. I still can't navigate shit in waypoint

 

[IHaveIce]

I can agree with this.

I also want OS and Camo back as powerups

 

[kittens]

The last three times I've played this game, I've rage quit. Mannnnnn this sucks. Sorry Bregmann.

 

[Redford]

Just remove sniper/rocket/ type weapons and overshield from Personal Ordnance and it would be perfect.

I am still so disappointed that melee weapons are unaffected by stopping power, that's exactly what stopping power should exist for.

 

[Computron]

So, thruster is slower than sprinting in MM, unlike in campaign.

What is the point of it again?

 

[harmonize]

This game would be fucking complete if you could get a blue shell in FFA that'd kill the guy in the lead.

K/D: 1.94 and steadily back on the rise.

Same here. I've been enjoying Halo 4 thus far, but I have yet to come to a solid conclusion of where it stands within the rest of the series. Something just feels...off about it. Ah well, it's fun nonetheless. There's a few factors that need to be tweaked/fixed, and if they do in a timely matter, we'll have a legitimately great game.

K/D: 2.01, currently SR-45

EDIT: Just went 42-10 in Infinity Big Team on Ragnarok. That shouldn't happen, the DMR is waaaaaaay too strong on that map.

 

[Plywood]

Evasion, unfaltered by enemy fire unlike Sprint.

Trueskill was your weapon of destruction.

 

[Ken]

Why do the Black Ops games always have the worst UIs? Looks like 2 year old designed it.

It's a competition to see who can get the worst UI.

They did, didn't you see Devo's post?

REGICIDE +30

 

[Computron]

Evasion, unfaltered by enemy fire unlike Sprint.

I hate the slow down. I don't think it adds anything to the game, but then again, I would prefer not to need sprint in the first place.

I guess it might be useful if you are hugging your cover and really playing risky in 1v1 fights.

 

[Bregmann Roche]

The last three times I've played this game, I've rage quit. Mannnnnn this sucks. Sorry Bregmann.

Totally understandable.
Our teammates were Classic.

 

[DeadNames]

REGICIDE +30

Wait what?

 

[feel]

Welp, Slayer Pro it is. Infinity is just as miserable as Reach when a coordinated team that knows how to exploit everything gets the lead and starts camping loaded with ordnance weapons.
