Almost done with my second specialisation. I've completed Tracker and pretty much done Rogue. Any others that are worth doing first?

Wetwork for stealth perk.

I switch between explosives, stability and stealth depending on what map I'm playing and what AAs the other team is using (and also their play style)

Done for the night. But a good game to go out on. Asphalt, BTB Heavies, MVP, and got 4/5 challenges done (I don't feel like killing people 77x with my Assault rifle). Good stuff.

I swear, I'll go back to Halo 4 tomorrow, I promise.

I've done operator, wetwork and rogue. I've found the Wheelman perk isn't bad if you like vehicles. PP emp doesn't affect t you as much etc. I'd say stealth that wetwork gives you is great. Completely ruins PV and silences your footsteps so people barely hear you. Plus assassinations happen faster. I've put stealth on my camo troll load out.

Some people like the ordinance re roll or ordnance heads up as well but I haven't gotten them yet.

Halo 4 is one of the most frustrating mp games I have ever played. I have loved every halo from 1-3 (hated reach). The problem with Halo 4 is there is no thought process involved in the game at all. Playing the map should be just as important as out shooting other players that is Halo. Take the pit for example. Lets say I go check rocket spawn but they are not there. Now that I know someone on the other team has rockets so I adjust my game play style. I play more cautious, I don’t run up on the enemy, I stay off the ground. Playing smart is out the window with Halo 4. Any enemy that I run into can latterly have any weapon in the sandbox on any map at any time. In earlier Halo’s maps were balance around the weapon spawns. On the pit 2 snipe towers 2 sinpes better sniper wins. One sword one rocket placed in a hard to get or a equal distance from each team. This ensuerd map played the way it was mint to play every game.

On the map Heaven the teams spawn run to the center get a few kills die spawn run the center get kills die repeat. It is total brain dead game play. Camo is bullshit. A shooting game where you can't see the enemy fucking lovely. Jet pack is still bullshit no matter how much you nerf it 343 it’s still shit. Especially now that the AR is a damn power weapon you have accomplished what you wanted to do give noobs easy kills. I love when they jet pack away from me and rip me up with an AR so fun. Instant respawn kills the game soo bad how did they not see this? Yes it works in COD because there are no shields. In cod after a fire fight the guy that wins in instantly back to an even strength with the rest of the players and they are able to engage again. In Halo after a fire fight you need time to recharge. Instant respawn fucks it all up. Pair this up with a shield recharge time that is way too long so they can give you a perk for it is ridiculous. Seriously did 343 play test this shit? I can’t imagine them play testing this game getting no scoped in the face by a guy they can’t see then thinking how awesome the game is and how everyone is going to love it.

I have no regrets playing Reach tonight, it brought us the greatest game of Halo ever played.

Haha, upload that to your fileshare (!) asap.

Edit : And yeah, I had more fun with Reach tonight than I have since, like, the day after Halo 4 launch. It's not the Halo glory days, but it's good. And I'm not saying I like it better than Halo 4 just to make some hyperbolic, inflammatory statement. The static weapon spawns, universal loadouts, and red Xs when you die (among other things) go a long way towards making it feel like Halo.

Truly sorry that I missed all this. Unfortunately I was trying to get some work done and didn't realize you guys were on. Glad you had some fun.

One last thing: how many times did Franklinator say "Get on my level"?

Not even once! He's slipping. Though he did team kill me once, with an enemy getting credit for it. And yeah, you should definitely play with us soon! There's no way I'm going to play as frequently as I did a year ago, but once or twice a week sounds cool.

I agree completely. Reach is barely Halo, but it's closer than 4 is (barring what this TU will do). The classic weapon placement and spawning system alone make me feel more at home.

They never actually announced it, they just added them in and bam, Legendary.

I was confused why it wasn't Legendary to begin with, they've been saying that Spartan Ops was designed with four players on Legendary in mind.

Makes me wonder if they'll go back to Heroic for Episode 6.
