Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
What sort of statistics?

Can you actually headshot knights? I'm playing some SpOps rocking my plasma pistol-carbine combo and I can't seem to get a headshot even when they're doing the scary face thing... am I really that bad? 
Edit: Piranha 3d is so bad it's good, I saw that ending from miles away lol

Destiny outsourced to 343 confirmed.

Yes but the headshot area is very small. Shoot their eyes. The, umm, visor... non-visor, whatever.
Digital Extremes: feels bad, man.
When they open their helmet they're opening their mouthes for Doritos. Are you using the Doritos firing, pre-order bonus, Certain Affinity made Magnum?Can you actually headshot knights?

lol I really needed to laugh today man, brb buying some chili flavoured Doritos(TM)
I guess he means number of users, how many log on each week, that sort of thing..
I suppose it would give an indication of how likely we are to see more Spartan Ops in the future.

Second map pack soon (looks to be smaller maps)
Team Throwdown is hitting next week with what look to be good settings
TU in the not so distance future (new map pack release most likely) That nerfs boltshot kill range and fixes some bugs (only partial info full info drop will most likely be this coming WU)
I have no idea if you can see this post because I think you may have of ignored me.
I'm already dead.
Nah I don't really read anyone's posts while take offense if I feel I don't get quoted enough. I thought the TU already happened or something. Hopefully these new small maps aren't bad. Though I won't buy them because it seems less people play halo 4 than halo 3/reach which means less buy maps which means I'll play them less and less.

Whatever they have done, my machine seems to be struggling with it. Hope they sort out what's causing those problems before all the Destiny info hits.
New maps look pretty, nice to finally have some new aesthetics.
Also its a shame about Over's ban - would be quite interesting having him around for the destiny talk.
tbh, the Crimson maps actually show up pretty frequently in the map options. Most of the people who have the Season Pass got it from the LE while riding 'dat pre release hype I'm guessing so it's not like no one will have them.

v2 settings are just shitty nostalgia settings using the worst precision rifle in the game.
I guess that really is the only way to guarantee people will buy the maps, but I feel all those people are likely to buy them anyway. Crimson is the first map pack I didn't buy. I know I'm not the only one. Unless 343 really redeems themselves I don't see many people buying a map pass again.

Speak for yourself, I haven't seen them in matchmaking since the first week or two of their release.
I'm guessing the other info he's teasing is Spartan Ops Season 2, exclusive to PS4.

But really though, I'm curious what they'll do with the second season, and I think that's what they'll announce this week. And if there is a second season, but I think it's more likely than unlikely at this point.

I dunno why, but it kinda hit me just how short Halo 4's lifespan will be. It's weird. Some of the last big current gen releases are releasing soon which will wipe out a lot of remaining interest in this game, and by the time we get some noticeable changes and both map packs are out, E3 will be around the corner which will start that new console hype. Unique situation for a Halo game.

Here you go.
What's that flying around on skyline?

Doing the same thing that I did to find those images, I found the playlist picture for Majestic.
SO GOOD. I really, really hope the maps are fun, especially Skyline.
How is the BR the worst precision rifle?
I would take BR starts over OP DMR starts any day...
Be thankful, you don't have to deal with BK's voting Shatter and Harvest all the damn.

Halo 4's lifespan was November 6-November 12.

BR spread is random, has the longest kill-time. easiest weapon to clean up kills with.
If you think the DMR is OP then you dont understand map design, or mechanics,
the BR and DMR have the same amount of Aim assist and Bullet magnetism. the DMR punishes missed shots more and the only thing that should be changed is the scope.
Yeah, must be the reason...

Why is it OP? tell me please
Accuracy over distance + map design. It's pretty obvious, I think.

The DMR only existed because bloom counteracted its power and range. It doesn't work as a spawn weapon without that.

You got proof of that?
So let me get this straight, you think that a close to mid range weapon is terrible compared to a long range weapon that has super far aim assist and bullet magnetism (though you claim otherwise) with an equal, or even, faster kill time makes someone who thinks otherwise a person who doesn't understand proper map design and mechanics? Where do you make that connection, especially in a game where both of those things aren't exactly in the highest quality (no offense lybertyboy, Frankie, and 343). The spread is contained within the crosshairs that you're given and it's relatively small and fairly accurate, those reasons along with your longer kill time claim (which I don't agree with at all) are why it's a weapon that requires more skill to use.
smh bro.

C'mon Shadders, i expect you to have more sense than that.
See above link
...Doesn't that thread support Shadder's point? The thing has great kill times, is easy to use with strong magnetism even at long ranges. Reach's DMR, by contrast, was mitigated over range by much higher amounts of bloom. Bloom which, while it didn't necessarily feel good, and while it had a mild random component if the guy you were fighting decided to trigger spam, arguably makes more sense than Halo 4's "basically do nothing" approach.
(RIP projectiles :/ )
The link is talking about hypothetical minimums, in reality not every bullet from the BR would hit at any sort of range, the DMR has killer accuracy across most maps. So in most circumstances will have a better average kill time than the BR.
I actually really enjoy using the DMR, I just don't think it should be a spawn weapon.
That said, I preferred AR starts in H3, so what do I know?

Too late dude, you had your chance...
My argument would be invalid, because I don't get Halo and Halo's map design.

I only use it in SWAT because i can sweep and get multiple headshots

WOW! Those are the best looking maps so far! The first one still seems like it's channelling the Pit.
Skyline looks like one of the coolest backdrops in a Halo environment since ODST.
Good stuff. I already bought the LE, so I'll be getting them day one.

Also, Destiny easter eggs in Halo 5, and Halo easter eggs in Destiny please! I wanna see some nods
I played every Halo game extensively, and based on my personal experiences, that's the conclusion I came to.
The DMR isn't OP in the sense that it shouldn't exist without bloom, but at the very least it should zoom slightly less and be harder to aim at close range.
