Bring your Xbox to Starbucks, make it a drinking game. You have to buy a cake pop every time you get a Killing Spree, take a sip of scalding coffee every time you get an ordnance drop. Donate a cent to them every time white text shows up. If you get a Binary Rifle, take a gulp of scalding coffee. Win the game with it? Pour it on your lap.

It really ruins the game.
It's nice that is has a pretty big skill gap, but it is not large enough for its effectiveness.
It literally puts every other weapon to shame and ruins so many maps.
It pretty much completely ruins BTB.
I'd rather be ganged by DMRs than lose one more time to a boltshot :-/
My biggest regret of this year is not seeing Alvin Risk live when he came to Chicago 
Ugh. I don't even remember why I didn't go.

Light Rifle with Stability in BTB...holy shit.
Also, DLC maps in this lobby, but everyone thinks they're so bad that they never even get voted for.

I think giving it a lower ROF would help in close to midrange encounters, at least.

Can't you drop the flag by hitting the switch-weapon button?
Maybe I'm wrong, I might have been drunk...

I always love reading your posts.
And THANK YOU. I was starting to feel like the only one who thinks HR > H4.

Finally managed to get the basic geometry of my map sorted out. Here is a quick video of me just messing around on it.

This is a really nice map. I'd be down for some games on it at some point to test it out.

hey if it makes you guys feel better the blops II thread bitches about their game almost as much as we do.
But they're not at OT 13.
Its funny you mention Call of Duty because people would often criticize COD for not innovating enough or for being a '$60 map pack' (which it isn't) but I think most people would have been a lot more happier if Halo had gone down a similar route.
All the new core changes have really ruined Halo for me and I haven't played it in weeks. COD has kept its core game play mechanics largely intact and unaltered over its many games (Perks, Scoresteaks, Create-A-Class, Gunplay) and I believe a lot of players wish Halo had done the same from Halo 2/Halo 3.
COD remains popular to its fans because its the same fun game play and experience that attracted them to the series in the first place but with improved systems (Pick 10, Theater), new maps/campaign/gametypes and new weapons but nothing drastic different with the core game.
Halo did not need the create a class, perks, armor abilities, ordinance, random weapon spawns. Nor did it need a focus on bigger maps (the maps in Halo 4 are really poor Halo maps).
Its such a shame because the engine, technology, graphics and the gun play are really good but the crap that didn't exist in Halo before is what brings it down. I'll play COD instead, not a poor man's attempt.

Shit, someone just posted a Walking Dead spoiler on Facebook. I haven't had the chance to play the later episodes yet, I honestly didn't expect I'd get spoiled on fucking Facebook.
Oh well, it's only one little thing from Episode 3, I just put the guy on permanent ignore. :lol

Tunavi, you're so good at trolling I have a hard time knowing when to take you you seriously or not.
How do you calculate this? I can't imagine, that I'm shooting 5 shots with the BR in that time.

Without context that main menu is just a cool background.
Having finished the game its the most tame of spoilers anyway, its a backdrop for a visited location. We always knew more Halo rings existed.
Running around campaign with the blind skull on. Think I might set up my cap card and a SkyDrive account and go wallpaper hunting.
The LoD on Geometry really sucks because you can see it in effect easily.

Walking Dead's a fun time. Don't know about Halo 4, haven't played it in about six weeks.

Reach DMR is spawnable on harvest. Its nothing really. We knew harvest was in development for a long time its likely put in as a test weapon and didn't get cleaned away like the unused AA's

I wonder how hard it would be to add a Weapon via DLC (to existing maps)
The question then is will only the people that get the DLC get the new weapons? Cause the DLC is in away the unlocker, right? They could avoid it by just added weapons via a Title Update. I dont know if that is possible, but if it technically could then everybody regardless of the DLC would get it.
Danke.
I played it yesterday, it still isn't.
I'll probably dive in later for my daily dosage of disappointment, or I might just play Battlefield instead.

The tag set containing the weapons has been built into each .map since CE. Either a Global Tag weapon tag that overrides the weapon Tag's in each map (not sure if possible) or patching of the maps with an updated tag set would be required I know you can do something like this on a pc using a PPF patch I think a special coded version for use on a xbox could work maybe.
Otherwise it means redownloading all the maps.
Please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong anyone

Pretty much spot on, same reason why we can't have Armour DLC in any of the Halo games.
Although, I'm quite curious, Armour DLC was planned to be released with Anniversary (hence the 'GRD' helmet in the Defiant Map Pack screenshots), I would love to see how they were gonna pull that off.
That would have required you to even understand what I was talking about before

Modesty becomes a woman
You are correct, probably still the same with armor too.
Since they aren't concerned about LAN compatibility they can just now add the data in a patch that's applied to all the map files in memory. If they're going to have a classic throwable flag, this is practically what they'll need to do anyway, since flags are treated as weapons and as far as I know, the original flag weap doesn't exist in the maps anymore.
Of course, there's always a gulf between possible and practical.

So pretty much the majority of HaloGAF has abandoned Halo 4? I haven't lurked in a while but that seems to be the case.

I would be. Slap a ranking system on it and put some good small maps in matchmaking and I'd be set to go.
