Booties, I'm on if you have room. Inv pls.
The remains of HaloCouncil need to stop being such whiny babies over an early map pack code. Jesus christ.
I'm on Cyren's side on this one.

It probably won't happen, but one can only hope that MS changes their mind.
I played Spartan Ops with my guest a few days ago? You need to be on LIVE at all times, my only thought on the issue
But he left on his own behalf, and then tried to essentially hack the HaloCouncils Twitter and Facebook by changing the passwords, that to me is kind of being a complete jerk. and more.
I get that there are bigger issues here than just what's said there, but yeah some of the grudges seem pretty absurd.
I'm sure there's plenty on the "other side" of this, but generally I side with the people who don't go whining about some bad blood.

I had an idea for a Jetpack replacement and how to solve the "non-visible AA" debate: add some wings.
Getting on now.

We're full at the moment.

I don't know why this isn't even in the game. Seems like a much better replacement for jetpack.

Is this something like what happened between Bungie/Microsoft/343 too? I can't even imagine what was going on behind the scenes...
Some of the biggest concerns require the smallest of changes. RIP Camo Powerup. 343 teased us with it in Anniversary then removed it again with Halo 4?
It is what Jetpack should've been since the beginning.
And Wahrer solved the silhoutte issue very well, i think. Still need visible silhouttes for all the other AAs...
Geez, I hate it when big break ups like these happen. I'll never understand what motivates people to just completely abandon others that they've worked hard on something with for a long amount of time.
Internet 'friends'.
None of this would have happened if Halo 4 was awesome. I blame Microsoft.
Gandhi streaming H4. Good stuff.
watching the whole time, it is hilarious

That 19-4-0 game on shut out was hilarious.
Well hopefully everyone can get it worked out soon and move on. Tough to see you guys fighting
Ha. I get it.

When we sat down to design Halo 4, we talked about what really defines a Halo game, but we should have spent a little bit of time talking about what doesn't define it, like spawning with a one-hit-kill weapon, for instance.
And then also letting that person spawn with Camo.

And allowing our players to, at their leisure, spawn in power weapons and trait bonuses at the click of a direction.
its funny, hardlight shield is virtually the same in practice as the much maligned armor lock - but no one seems to cars because there is so much more broken in halo 4. also, thankfully, hardlight seems fairly rare to come across.

Thats some lame ass daytime soap opera shit. Pathetic.
Its a different dynamic.
Instead of being completley invulnerable, but stationary...
You can move to cover while absorbing fire.

lol I remember when a discussion of "what defines a weapon being labeled as a power weapon" was going on and Ellies
leaving that typo
Then everyone brought up the Boltshot. He never responded and..
Halo 4 shipped with the Boltshot as a loadout weapon.
:B
The only reason I don't use the HLS as much is because either my LB button is broken or the shit is glitched online. It's the only AA I have issues with using so idk if it's my button..

What exactly did the boltshot fix do? I havent had a chance to try it out yet, is it still op?
It's still a one shot kill, but now the shotgun can beat it.
Basically its range isn't absurd anymore. They moved it back 10 feet. It's better, but still a problem.
i get that, but in practice, its just as - if not more - frustrating to go up against. oh, i'm kicking your ass one on one and you have a get out of jail card to save you? now you can actually move on top of it to get to cover too? AND your teammates respawn instantly so i will never have your team down a man or several and i'll be likely finished off waiting for your ability to run out? i know, i'll throw a grenade... oh, i didnt pay rock paper scissors correctly to pick the perk that actually allowed me to pick up nades from fallen spartans - i'm sol.
Lowered the range for the charge shot kill
It reduced the effective kill range for a OHKO by by 5-10 feet. I don't think it really fixed the fundamental problem with that weapon, I've still been able to take people out really easily. There's maybe a little less of "oh, baloney, he was nowhere near me," but that was only a small portion of my annoyance with the boltshot in the first place.
Oh I know. I don't like it at all too. Im just saying its not any better than armor lock, its just different.
Though I will say, using it in Extraction in Team Throwdown to defend a teammate arming/convering a point is kinda cool.

That made me think of my problem with Halo games after Combat Evolved..
The heavy reliance on your teammates.
Halo 2 was fun online regardless because it was a fresh experience, but Halo 3+ was such a chore to play alone. It's been a while since I've posted this but
Combat Evolved 2
