You know... with some [much] better maps and a little tweaking, Dominion could actually be a really fun mode.
The way it handles ordinance is pretty good, since everybody on both teams is alerted to when they're coming down. So everybody has the chance to fight for them.
The problem is the sheer amount of goodies you get turns the whole thing into a giant clusterfuck after the first drop. Power weapons everywhere.
But I like the base-defending element, I like the mix of vehicles and infantry that the mode demands, there's a core of good ideas there, fucked up by the details.
....well, that kind of speaks to Halo 4 as a whole though, doesn't it? lol

And those worrying about Specializations can rejoice. You will no longer be shackled if you didn't get the code.

Overall that Bulletin was a great way to start the year and a great way to start repairing the relationship 343 has with the communities. That's of course assuming that it's followed through with and the communication improves.
Excellent bulletin, refreshing to hear, and it has me excited for future updates. <3

Frank acknowledging the DLC as a fiasco and not a "trial period" or whatever MS PR called it was quite refreshing
Little disappointed that it'll take another month to get a doubles playlist, and a temporary one at that. The Virgin thing rotating playlists is nice and all for the people that enjoy it, but not at the expense of an entire month devoid of actual, meaningful playlist updates.
Like an overhaul of how certain objective modes work, for example (my own personal pipe dream - give me the keys and I'll do it for free).
TU coming is good to hear. But please, just tell us the balance changes that are planned instead of writing them all off because you might be publicizing exploitable glitches. Omit those items from the TU preview if you really want, but something is better than nothing.
Wonder if the definitions of "small" and "medium" have changed for the new maps. I distinctly recall Wreckage being described as "perfect for Regicide!"

and FFA and 2v2 and all specializations available by early Feb. Solid update.
BTW: Doing a GIS for "things you blow at parties" was disappointingly tame.
No :/
But really, I LOVE seeing that kind of stuff. Kind of sets a sense of realism for lack of a better word. Makes me think of what went down in the dev's mind
Does anyone have the video of the cut content from Reach?

So it begins...Forge.
RIP Halo
-------------------------------------------
Yeah the weekly updates were cool until we got a month of updates taken out in favor of marketing.
Looks like through February we will not get King of the Hill back, and still won't get the promised then ripped away and never mentioned again Extraction playlist.
----------------------------------------
Frankie's piece was interesting.
RIP Halo
I don't really play anymore, so enjoy Forge slurpers.

I would enjoy seeing this as well.
Forge will be in a distinct, eminently avoidable place. I will not be avoiding it.

Nice update and glad to see Frank mention the problems we've had. Hopefully the TU does something significant to the game though.

Hope this doesnt mean forge maps wont be heavily featured. With the 3 new palettes forge maps should be featured more. The single palette of Reach killed enjoyments of some maps.
Variety and all that good stuff

I was more joking than anything else. My hate of Forge is well known 'round these parts.
Can you say anything about Extraction or KOTH?

The anti-ability or disable enemy ability is a good solid addition, if possible please have that make the cut for a TU or Halo 5 in some form. Overall I feel good about 343i and the future of Halo. Just add in some more small hardcore style maps and settings to for the classic hardcore player in us all. I love default Halo foremost but ranked is an itch I'd like to scratch every now and again, visible in game rank if possible
.By the way 343i work on FUD for such a budget and the cut-scenes of campaign/SPOPS are just AMAZING, second to none. All staff involved should be congratulated for those achievements as well as the insane visuals on the ol'360 hardware.

Its one thing to even address issues.
Its another to say you've made mistakes.
Bravo, imo...
Some developers would give people the middle finger, most I think.
Spoilers: There is no ranking system
