Just got the MS Halo 4 survey too. Time to find my critical issues list I posted a while back.

Shame that they made it useless for regular shots, it was nice in Reach.
I said this on Skype.

The last 2 easter eggs would have been public knowledge if HIH was still running. God I miss that forum.
Yep exactly my opinion.
I said this on Skype.
Now we're both known that we want to see naked guys dancing in Halo.
Then they put in a commendation that requires 940 kills with the PP to max it out.
Whoops.
Not all of those, no. Select modified ones? sure. I don't think the current CTF variant would work with 16 people - grab flag, take teleporter out, your waypoint gives you away and you're pinged by half a dozen people all at once. Big Team Slayer has been junk since it was introduced, toss it out. That includes the Heavies crap. Oddball is a nade- and camp-heavy gametype, it's never been in Big Team for a reason the same way that King of the Hill hasn't. Extraction, absolutely. A three-plot Extraction mode would work really well, I think. Dominion always should have been a BTB gametype instead of its own "lets grind ordnance commendations!" mode. On that note, they would need to seriously rethink a couple of things with it: 1) the resupply system - it shouldn't be turning the game into Heavies a minute after the game starts, and 2) the scoring system - I bet 99% of the people who play that playlist don't understand the specifics of how scoring works in that gametype.
P.S. WHEN ARE YOU GUYS MAKING ODST 2: ODST HARDER?
Just remove the fuel rod gun from the Banshee and you're done. That way you don't even have to make it annoying to fly either.
I rather 'fix' it by removing the fuel rod blast off it entirely. It was most balanced in MP without it.

Banshee bomb is useful. First shot should strip shields and emp vehicles second shot should kill people and damage/kill vehicles .
Keep the time between shots.

OH BOY, THANKS MICROSOFT!
I was going to say this at first, but I feel like a lot of people would complain if it was removed.
IDK.

Where is the survey? I have a few thoughts...
OH BOY, THANKS MICROSOFT!
I really wish people would stop bitching about free shit.
Don't spend it all in one place!
Rule Number 2 of Modern FPes states that reducing or nerfing an ability means reintroducing it as a perk.
This.
It was only limited in Halo 2 because they didn't have the option for infinite ammo. They outright said in Optimatch at the time that if H2 had the option, it would have been on.
And with how aggressively Halo 4 garbage collects weapons, you're not going to really be able to scavenge ammo.
Infinite ammo just cuts out a pointless middleman. It's a Slayer playlist, it's not highbrow.

You have to be signed up for the Microsoft Studios Beta / User Research program.
So you'd have an almost-instant kill instead of just instant as the driver would just switch to the plasma cannons the second he fired. It'd be a vehicle variant of the noob combo. Force people to use those plasma cannons the entire way. They have to slow down for a full second to do so. You have instantly and automagically balanced the Banshee's maneuverability because it can't be in a constant boost-pause a half second to fire-boost loop.
Yeah, people would complain because they couldn't pad their stats with an OP vehicle. A real shocker. You'll invariably get someone complaining about the eventual Boltshot nerf and his stats probably look like he's the Boltshot Gamesager.

There's a difference between bitching about something and joking about something.
Also, one could argue that it's not really free since you're paying $60 a year to be on xbox live, unless they're also doing this with silver members.
you must be new around here

They need a survey for people who have been playing Halo for a long time.

What would ODST 2 even be about? I can't think of anything but the journey from ODST to Spartan IV?

Or
Bucks ODST squad's actions during Halo 3.
Or
New ODST squad lead by The Rookie stationed aboard the Infinity who got lost on requiem and are trying to regroup with the infinity.
Or
Buck and gang during the battle of New Alexandria.

No idea how they went from the voice actress to the character in the game. They look nothing alike.
I'm with you, buddy.

In line with ODST's somewhat emotional theme, I'd go with Buck and his squad becoming inferior and refure to 'upgrade' to Spartan IV. I'd like a game about that struggle. Buck's squad trying to prove themselves etc

I remember finishing ODST in co-op and we fell silent during the outro and then suddenly down the mic i hear
"She has a face like a shoe"
Is that Kate Becket?

Through the fact Microsoft sucks and I cant get my email addresses corrected (I essentially get twice the deals because I have two actual email addresses on my account) I got 40 points for my birthday. Score.
I swear they make all their webpages and service functions shitty so they can auto-charge you and hope you are too busy or something to spend the time calling them. Yet when you finally call them they are super nice about fixing and reversing everything...

Halo 4 ODST should take place after Chief and the Arbiter make the jump to the Ark following the theme of the original. You're stuck in the ruins of New Mombasa fighting the Flood with Lord Hood.
This would also let them test out elements of Flood combat in preparation for Halo 5.

The best was back in the Halo 2 days calling 18004myxbox to cancel a 2 month with some outrageous name.

Are ODST's even in existence anymore? Seems like they've been retconned..
lol
I would be if XBL was free, or if there weren't annoying ads all over the place (/wrist for having them on Halo Waypoint), or if they didn't make such a big deal about those "rewards."
Nice, seems like a bunch of people have been stepping up their avatars without those lame backgrounds.
I suppose I'm biased, seeing as how I haven't dropped a penny on LIVE for what seems like years.
Still, the ads aren't that bad, and it's not like ads aren't prevalent in other subscription services like cable TV or a magazin.

PSN only has ads in the marketplace.
But PSN is free.
soooo
also, Halo 4 is 34.99 for the next couple of hours

No reason to have them on Infinity really, Spartan IV's are better. I imagine the rest of the "normal" UNSC still uses them, though, but right now there isn't really a whole lot of war going on.

Haha, I'm not arguing the merits of ODSTs being better characters so far, just trying to rationalize the decision to not have ODSTs in-game. Why would ONI put ODSTs on a ship full of a million Spartan IVs? I thought it was said that a lot of the IVs are ex-ODSTs anyway.
I mean, these guys from the campaign kinda look like Spartan ODSTs, no?
Why don't they use the remaining Spartan 2s and Spartan 3s on the most important ship.
