I'm sure they won't be unless you're talking about the only new ones. In that case, maybe. I wouldn't mind the recycling of older maps (that haven't made an appearance yet) with some changes (night/day, weather, etc).

someone mentioned it earlier, but you can actually look at the thumbnail for any chapter of spartan ops by changing the url of a previous one.

for example, the last mission this week was this thumbnail:

ch-29.png


Code: 
https://assets.halowaypoint.com/games/h4/spartanops/v1/large/ch-29.png

want to see next weeks? change that last number to 30-34 and you can see all the thumbnails for next week.

here they are (not going to show the image in case people want to be surprised):

I liked Chiron for "party games" like FFA rockets or shotguns. Back when Halo was competitive and you could make "random" gametypes that still required skill.

I'm sure 343 would love to introduce it into competitive MM. Imagine how well it would in Infinity slayer. Camo boltshots sounds like so much fun.

Chiron Boltshots is the evolution of Chiron Shotties.

This NEEDS to happen.

I hate MM achievements. So much. Halo 3's were the worst. A perfection? On a mythic map? Give me a break.

The Infinity interior looks a lot like Metroid Prime's Orpheon Ship even have those big tubes.

Totally forgot this. It's still impossible to win in Swords, if you haven't host. Was leading with 7 points, host change and the guy won. Halo 3 would be perfect with better netcode... Such a shame, that I got bad at it...

You only need a map with a Sword in Lone Wolves for the achievement. Playlist management is just awful in Halo 3, that's all.

Also true!

Wow!

One thing that is kinda' funny though, is that despite all of our jealousy over the attention Treyarch paid to the competitive community in BLOPS2, if you look at the competitive/ranked playlists in the game, next to nobody is playing them. Usually less than 1,000 people.

Just like Halo. Well, back when it actually had competitive/pro playlists.

The online competitive crowd are becoming a smaller and smaller slice of the overall population. The majority of people playing Cod simply arent the same people who we played ranked slayer on Halo 2 with. Different generation and all that.

Even if CSR were implemented into the game, the populations wont really change at all. HaloGAF might shut up whining for a day or two sure, but overall it wont make a difference.

I dont think any changes can be made to save Halo 4s dwindling populations now. Might see a boost with the DLC/TU but I dont believe it will be anything too significant.

Those are some nice looking environments.

Also, am I crazy or did I see forerunner looking aircraft flying though the skyboxes of some of the levels this week?

I'm Crazy, not you. :lol

That aircrafts were projectiles of those huge Forerunner Cannons, but they really looked and acted like aircrafts.

What do you mean by remix levels?
Click to expand...

It looks like we're getting more levels when the season is over, but they are running older levels. Makes sense if they swapped some stuff around like they have done in the first half of season one.

And one of the title images for one of the remix chapters is a mirrored image of the title image from one of the normal chapters.

And if you look, there's a lack of repeating levels used in 8, 9 and 10. Makes sense to mix them up and put out more content.

So remix level = rejiggered existing level. Maybe different enemy placements and a different route through the level.

Dont want to beat a dead horse, but Shiska somehow butchered matchmaking on that game. Customs were fantastic but matchmaking was terrible.

Had so much fun with Halo 3 customs, even with those fun maps and gametypes. I have more customs games played, then Ranked and Social together. That was also the case, because my internet connection was really bad, back then.

Never forget! :')

I am going to say somthing positive about Halo 4. Team regicide is fun. In my opinion it is the best game type. It fits the Halo 4 style of mindless run and gun perfectly. No personal ordnance drops make a insane amount of differance in how Halo 4 plays and getting a king slayer medal is soo good. 343 please don't remove it.
