Banned from Matchmaking on my 1st week of Halo 4. A new record!

Damn, that was fast. Why?

5 minutes ago DestinyGAF's only followers were Dan Miller, Jonty Barnes and some fellow from gearsofhalo.com. Now there are 25 more followers. Y'all are quick.
 
Even if you fixed everything wrong with Halo 4 it still wouldnt be fun or would there be any motivation to play. Next time make a better engine, with better maps, and better gunplay. Make it fast, and make skill involved. Include all the features from the previous games and implement something new.

Or else your game will continue to sink.

So... dual wielding, equipment, AAs... and something new that once again pisses people off?

EDIT naturally, i'd love for DW and equipment to come back. Especially the latter one, so good if balanced right.
 
I mean theater, WITH party viewing. With CAMPAIGN viewing

Forge

Fileshare, from DAY 1.

Campaign scoring, Skulls.

All that jazz.

DW I don't even mind as long as its balanced, Equipment was better than all the AA shit because it eventually went out of play after use.

But let me play Halo again, not Halo roulette.

These things are largely irrelevant to me.

All my problems are with MP.
Loadouts / Perks / Ordinance / Flinch / Instant Respawn / JIP / Handling of Playlists / Weak map selection / 1 sided gametypes (my favorite) / Custom Game options / Classic mode and playlist / Poorly balanced weapon sandbox / Weapons on the map.

Some bother me more then others, but nearly everything 343 added was a wash for me and a step in the opposite direction.
 
Lets look at the progression of Halo theater. This mode has more changes than any other (besides MP).

Halo 3
- Fully works for multiplayer, Forge, and Customs
- Can film in Campaign and take pictures, but can't rewind and record clips
- Can view in party up to 4 players

Halo Reach
- Fully works for multiplayer, Forge, Customs, Campaign, and Firefight
- Can't view in party

Reach seemed to have added and took away options in Theater, so we'll just call it an offset from Halo 3 to Reach.

Halo 4
- Fully works for multiplayer, Forge, and Customs
- No option for Campaign and Spartan Ops
- Saving a film is a hassle in the menus
- Can't view in party

There isn't one way Theater improved from Reach to Halo 4. All it did was take away features from the Halo 3 and Reach theater.

I'm not sure if this had to do with the hardware limits of the 360 (it's a good excuse so I'm sure they'll go with it), but if the Theater isn't perfected (fully works for all modes with a party) for Halo 5, then it's just a feature that isn't important to 343. There won't be an excuse on the new Xbox so I'll guess we'll have to wait until then to find out if Theater is something 343 cares about, because little to no care was put into it for Halo 4.

But with each removal you might not be effected but other communities are. That means lower population, which in turn effects other communities. Including yours (The MP side)

Your concerns align with mine too, mostly gameplay settings and options, means more people who play a heavy amount of MP and are competitive need to be in the chairs controlling what gets selected before the game starts.

Even though parties couldn't view saved films together, I think Reach is as good as it's going to get unless 343i does something about this.

All I ever wanted/needed was one playlist that speaks to me.

Alot of the changes speak to the assumed shortening attention span of the current gamer.
Think of what could have been done with time and manpower the entire perk / unlock system took.
5 more good multiplayer maps? A finer tuned overall experience.

Instead, we're left with marketing tie-ins and xp systems, and lots of other progression crap for the achievement whores.. rather then hooking someone with clean and balanced gameplay.

When is Halo's funeral?
 
Can some one please make a sitcom-style opening song/credits for Spartan Ops as well as an approx. 10-minute recap video for Season One? It would be hilarious.

Fascinating.

Judging by the file name, this symbol is called the Tricorn.

I'm guessing it's a red herring and the symbol really represents Tricom, or Trinity Command or something similar. Might we have our new scary dogmatic religious faction in Destiny? Who knows!

Great article. It's my only worry about Destiny, and one of the things I'm looking for as it's announced and gets ready to launch. I don't think Bungie would parcel out content like we've been seeing if they had the choice. But Activision.

(Their Skyrim reference was spot on as well.)

I wonder how many people are still online in the Reach demo.

Why won't mobile streaming work for my twitch stream?

Your missions are old campaign lends, but
waiting just on Requiem...

Everywhere you look (everywhere)
There's a rock (there's a rock)
An alien module
Everywhere you look (everywhere)
There's a race
Of waypoints who lead your troops.

When Crimson's there, at a respawn zone
Your mind's hating this Special Ops clone
Everywhere you look

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
Infinity Botched It All

It actually sounds like the video says "an alien module" when reading that. Creepy

Was a great read, nice job.

The best voices -- voices that truly matter -- never
allow themselves be heard. This lesson is worth
learning again and again.

Forever.

Your voice moves as whispers, murmurs and urges
inside larger winds. Only the trusted few can absorb
what is necessary. Wise and sly and perfect, your
instructions drop, leaving nothing but the hard sweet
rime of enlightenment.

The path is set. Your voice is unleashed. Except now
it is gone...

And maybe it never was.

Episode 9 was good, most of the chapters were tense battles, too bad you have unlimited lives and the lockup part was gorgeous and shame on me I discovered another Halsey diary and another Reclaimer Disc on Composer.
