I have serious issues with using the term "nerf" unless extremely necessary. For example, the DMR doesn't need a nerf.. it needs to be taken out of loadouts. Nerfing results in a watered down Halo game like H3, so let's find other ways to balance things instead of "nerfing" everything.
You know how annoying it was to read thread after thread to "nerf" the crappy H3 BR because it was the go-to weapon, instead of buffing other parts of the sandbox? pls, no nerfs. Let Halo have a powerful sandbox again.

You know what'd be awesome but probably won't happen?
The final episode of SpOps before the launch of Halo 5 has Crimson coming together for one last Op to make sure that the Infinity can safely exit Requiem's atmosphere. The final chapter would be a last-stand like in Lone Wolf, but after a certain amount of time it just shows a cutscene of your SIVs fighting off a horde of Prometheans and Covenant alike.
Although it's suggested that you died with Crimson in the fight initially, after the SpOps credits roll you see your SIV (regardless of the player who survived last, similar to how the cutscenes in Reach worked) holding three sets of dog tags on a hill overlooking the area, walking off in to the distance while readying a distress beacon.
With the ability to modify weapon damage and magazine capacity on a weapon-by-weapon basis you could do just that.
i agree with your dmr remark, i'd rather see the br/carbine/lightrifle see buffs to make them better choices for certain things. but by all means nerf AAs that certainly wont be removed altogether, like camo.
I said damn.

I have no problems with the DMR, but since so many of the maps are so big, i see no reason to use anything else on most of them. I think thats where bloom did have an advantage in Reach over the new non bloom weapons. It makes everything that much more powerful without it.

The idea for a tournament is fine and all, but I think it's coming across too much as a promotion for a product/company rather than a tournament. My original point was the *promotion*, not the tournament itself.
its more a sponsored contest then a tourney. and nothing is wrong with that.
PM me an address where I can send it (yours if you can just give it to him).
It will be the LE, with all the materials other than the download codes, which I gave away here.
I have a question for you we can address over PM when you send me an address.
It's a US copy, just to be clear.
The way I manage my personal stuff so as to prevent it from becoming excessive is to carve out space for my things, and then when I have too much to fit that space, I cut down. In the den (what my wife calls, the man cave), I have shelves filled with gaming and movie and pop culture stuff. If my stuff starts to fill that space, I find things to cut down on. It occured to me that Halo 4 is just one of those things gathering dust that I won't be touching again.
Some of my stuff purge I'll give away here. I have pics taken, just haven't gotten around to doing it. I will this weekend, though.

Okay, "sponsored contest," and I never said there was anything wrong wit that, but the *promotion* is what I'm having a problem with. The idea of having a logo next to a playlist in the game is irksome to me.

Damn op_ivy, you get everything lol
Side Thought: I wonder if Halo 4 would've performed better if it released earlier than one week before BOps 2 and if we would've seen a TU by now since it release closer to the holidays.

Its a shame your giving it away Ghaleon, I feel like it may be worth holding on to in order to see if they make significant changes through the TU. Its small enough not to take up too much space and who knows if whoever gets it next will use it much.

I don't know if the DMR needs a "nerf" so much. What it needs is the auto aim/bullet magnetism reduced* a hair or two.
*this does not mean loosening up the bloom on it.

My wired controller is starting to die, it just disconnects when the part of the cord that connects to the controller is in certain positions. :/ This suuuuucks, all my wireless controllers are busted in one way or another.
I just tried it with "Incoming" players and it still worked, I'll try again with JiP when I can. You were never able to adjust your network on the voting screen, are you sure that's not what happened to you?

How much you wanna bet he ends up re-buying it eventually.
Hmm, weird, for me, the ability to change my network always went away as soon as I reached the voting screen. I think. But I was also able to back out normally about 70% of the time I tried to, so who knows. :/
Also, I just now was able to use the trick to get out of a JiP.
Not meaning to add to the negativity in the thread, but I just dont feel like playing Halo 4 anymore. I just find it super boring. Ill also be letting my xbox live gold expire for the first time in 6 years. Heres to hoping that Destiny is good.
I think I might start playing H2 XBC again, I tried it out last year and had a blast with it.

I've only played Halo 4 once over winter break, and quickly stopped out of frustration. It really sucks to think I'm probably done with the Halo series, at least for multiplayer.

At which moment, exactly? The scene pretty much starts blown out before Chief is on screen..
If you could tell me the exact moment you want I could grab it, just made myself a checkpoint right before the scene
Here, in 0:04 to 00:06 but the scene is a little too brightly.
I was the most excited of my friend's coop group to saw "Haven" in campaign.

If any if you are looking for an awesome game Shadow of the Colussus is on sale in the PSN store. For a 2005 game it's pretty damn amazing, I've only battled about half the colossi but omg it's fun. The horse is amazingly animated for a 2005 game. So good.

No but it looks like Halo 4 has destroyed HaloGAF.

Soon. Theyre working on a remove all AA patch that will make the game play like Halo2.

Such a great game. If you haven't played it already, what are you waiting for?
pfft, Halo 2 began the downward spiral of Halo gameplay but there are still millions of fans. HaloGAF will find her coping mechanisms much like anyone else.
Nope, but the Infinity Challenge™ sponsored by Virgin Gaming™ is still going strong.
We did, it's called Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. And in my case, Pokemon.

I'm retired from the OP making business.
I nominate Duncan for the Destiny one.
My issues are really fundamental to the design. Given that I play predominantly BTB, they'd have to get rid of flinch, JIP, instant respawn, the global ordnance system, reduce the DMR scope to 2x and remove the Plasma Pistol from load outs before I'd consider playing it again. Good grief, I got sad and frustrated just typing that list. :\
If by some miracle they do, then I'll snag a copy on sale. But I feel pretty good that I won't regret giving to someone who will hopefully get some enjoyment out of it.
The campaign is not something I will ever play again. Totally forgettable.

Now this is the kind of stuff I've been wanting out of the Halo franchise for a while now. Expanding the universe with different, quality gameplay experiences is rarely a bad thing IMO.

I recently realized this as well. With every Halo game, I play through solo Heroic, then usually start solo Legendary right away, and play through the game or just individual missions from time to time for the foreseeable future. Every Halo game except for Halo 4. I played through Solo Heroic, and haven't touched it since, and don't really have in interest in doing so.

It really is the end of an era
It actually makes me sad how many people have stopped playing, not because I care about the game, but because it used to be SO fun to jump on for a night with some of the guys I played Halo with. I think for me Halo 3 was my favourite Halo game just because I had a really good group on it almost daily. Halo Reach and 4 really have turned a lot of my friends off - which is a shame because since we have all moved about the country I was actually hoping to at least play with those guys on the rare occasion - even that doesn't happen, not many in my group of friends have any motivation for it.
Its great jumping on with HaloGaf, but the gameplay turns me off. Did just play a bunch of Halo Wars with Overdoziz - it was a ton of fun, Sorry I couldnt talk much at the end btw Over- after you left though I had a lot of fun with the guy I was playing against - he camped his base with anti vehicles, so I did the exact same thing - but I had a larger army.
