You're right, the series is at an all time high.
Aren't you the same jerk who plasma pistoled your own tank? That's so stupid you only make videos for views.

Holy shit there's orange juice all over my keyboard FUCK
So I join a match on that Lockout remake and the framerate is akin to that of a PowerPoint slideshow... great.
Also, Simplex needs to be added to Infinity Slayer and CTF playlists (Simplex settings), map is goooood.

They have to promote powerpoint 2013 somehow, right.

I think this is the result of not designing Halo 4 around a sandbox, but closer to tight encounters. I've experienced the framerate dropping in Halo 4 when it comes near a sandbox experience such as Halo: Reach and Halo 3, meaning big battles and lots of characters on screen.

The modded no sprint and no instant respawn BR slayer gametype is the best. Really shows that Halo 4 has potential.
Just got griefed so hard. Oh, so you're sniping? You're on a spree? Let me ram you in to a wall when you have low shields. ololol nerd. Oh, you just got an Incineration Cannon? Let me jump right in front of you when you're trying to fire. lol nub.
Still went +17, but shit. I only even went in to BTB to get the Incineration Cannon and Binary Rifle commendations. Exile needs lower weighting, Vortex needs to blow less. It's a cleverly disguised Sword Base remake. Everyone crowds in to the middle structure and never leaves unless you get a Wraith, which is then EMPed and boarded. It and Complex need to go to SpOps and never return, but I'd like to get some SpOps missions as multiplayer maps. Some of them would be fun for... One flag. Or Assault.
Fuck.

Whoops. The modded gametype that removes sprint and instant respawn. That is what I meant.

Sprint needs to go.

Seriously. I'd love to run some customs on Lockout, Haven, and Simplex with those settings.
Speaking of which, has anyone created a version of Haven with fixed spawns and set weapons?
Where do I get this?!

I sent you a FR. Whenever you get online just let me know and I can give it to you.

You guys playing a mod of Halo 4 because there's no sprint is ridiculous. You just don't get Halo.
Adapt.
Thanks! Out running errands today, I'll try to get on a bit later to try it out.
The problems with Exile have been apparent since launch day and are so easy to fix it's laughable (and I use laughable as in "it makes me laugh to think they haven't fixed this map yet" every time it gets voted.)
A. Remove Gauss Hog
B. Remove Scorpion
C. Use Forge to make Blue Base and Blue Spawns the same as Red Team
Fixed. Done. You can even leave the Banshee on the map (as it's arguably a toss up who which team can sprint to it first off of initial spawns - and it's not nearly as overpowered as in Reach).
Ironically, Bravo told me after I made my instant respawn discovery in Halo CE, that he used to play 8 man FFA with Instant Respawn in CE all the time :lol Not saying it means anything, I just think it's funny
Also, intro to that video is hilarious lol

Can't believe people think sprint will go away.
That seems to be the general consensus.
You know what people said when Halo 3 was coming out? Cause there was this big issue with a seemingly "core" part of the game at the time.
I can't believe people think the BR will go away.
And then Reach came about.

Shit, my Halo Honor took a hit today when I realized I never beat ODST on Legendary. How tough is it?
Not terrible. Might want some friends to back you up, though.
It's amazing. Do it.

Solo Legendary. Prepare Thy Anus.
ODST Solo Legendary without using VISR is a thing of beauty.
On a related note: Is there a way to get ODST screenshots from your 360 to your PC using a USB stick? I've never seen many screenshots taken of New Mombasa during the night and I'd love to take some with
This thing works:

Pistola's name is in blue on the stream, but he's on red team. I was very confused when they were celebrating.
u4iX messed up the design in paint.

These all star teams are such a joke. Who's going to beat Ninja and Ola? Oh I think they have two other people on their team too possibly.

Halo: CE Hunters were the scariest imo.
Anywho, I can't beleive we went a full generation without a MechAssault game.. MechAssault 2 objective games were somewhat like Halo.

That playlist can't be called Team Slayer, or anything Slayer for that matter. The blog post said the playlist will have objective gametypes (specifically CTF, Extraction, KOTH). Return of Squad Battle?

Mechassault was the top Live game before Halo 2 came out I believe. Game was the shit. No idea why Day 1 Studios halted the series.
And do these commentators have to make every encounter with a girl about "oh look guyz its a gurl haha weird huh"? You can actually see the cringe on the girl's faces. Ugh.

1sk using Magnum to its back.
Run around it in circles while melee-ing until its dead.
Not terrifying at all.
Halo 3/ODST Hunters are Scurry as Hell. Imo.

You (Halo 4) couldn't give us one team mate for the entire match? What's the point in JiP if it's not even going to work?

Yeah, the CE hunters were a joke. They had awful AI and terrible movement compared to what they evolved into. ODST hunters finally felt scary. I really liked the horror vibe ODST brought to the campaign.

Yeah, after you got over the initial terror, I felt like they were really predictable. Circle strafe, shoot, repeat.
Me too.

Me neither. But the IP is still in Microsofts hands right? I really, really loved MechAssault 2. Beeing in the Battlesuit is like Crackdown on steroids. And the visuals were pretty great too for an Xbox game. Oh the memories.
While CE hunters aren't the toughest, the definantly scared me the most. The spikes on their back + coming out of nowhere in silent areas, damn.
