Is anyone up for some Normal/Heroic Firefight? I need the achievables for Last Exit and Security Zone. I got to about 69,255 on Last Exit just now.

And have matches become a 15 minute K/D boost fest when the first offensive team didn't get past the first objective? No thanks. At least in Dominion, when a team is destroying the other, the quicker it ends. And if any competent team with communication stayed in the bases on Boneyard and Spire defending the core all with shotguns, that was match. Your team quitting on you while the other team surrounded the spawn was great as well.
Invasion Boneyard? Let's give 6 players swords in a broom closet defending an objective!

...why didn't they just put the Invasion objectives out in the open?

These are exactly my thoughts about the DMR, although I think it is also lacking in skill at medium range. Getting kills with it does not feel rewarding and encounters between skilled players largely come down to who gets the first shot as there is such a narrow skill gap, for me personally that it is just not fun at all. Thats not to say that the DMR should be made less consistent in any way, it should just be made more skilful by reducing aim assist and perhaps removing hitscan and also scrapping flinch to bring back descoping.
This applies to most weapons in Halo 4, pretty much everything is too easy to use even the sniper rifle which now has loads of aim assist. Play Halo 3 and then Halo 4 and compare the sniper rifle, it is way more skilful in Halo 3. The automatic weapons in Halo 4 are just absolutely ridiculous.
There are in my opinion definitely game breaking probems with the weapons but there are also many other major problems that make the game more random and less skilful such as ordnance, instant respawns, sprint, slow movement speed etc etc.

Question to anyone that has experience working with Halo PC/Custom Edition or whatever - is it possible to add in custom sounds, and if so is there any compression? For my sandbox project I'm actually making sounds for all the weapons, even the already-existing ones.
So far I think my favorite one to develop's been the Rocket Launcher - it's a mix of the heavy, clunky Anniversary sound but also has one of the scariest audio cues ever when locked on to someone. You can hear the rocket screaming at you like a firework.

Let's make a Promethean pistol.
Now let's make it stronger than a Shotgun!
Oh, and players can spawn with it.
Asymmetrical Dominion would have been the shit.
Everytime I see pictures from halo 3 remind me of the fun times.... Rip Halo BTB 2001-2010.Just had an idea on how to fix Halo 4
Sandtrap remake
My favorite game mode, haven't had fun in it since 3.
oh snap
What is this?

so funI knew I had some files on my Mac hard drive, but I wasn't sure if those files got backed up when it crashed. As I was going through one of my drives tonight, I noticed a folder called "MM stats". I knew exactly what was in them, and it might make this graph seem laughable.
At 4:45 PM on June 15th, 2009, Halo 3 had an estimated population of 165 684 players.
At 11:30 PM on June 19th, 2009, Halo 3 had an estimated population of 201 268 players.
On August 1st, 2009 at 8:35 PM, Social Slayer saw a higher population than Halo 4 saw at any given point yesterday.
Now someone, get me a site that will upload these files. Min.us wasn't letting me do it. Thanks CyReN.

That's depressing. Even accounting for the different way that starts were reported in Halo 3.I knew I had some files on my Mac hard drive, but I wasn't sure if those files got backed up when it crashed.

You know that bonus led me to find a better one.

That's some wicked stuff. To see how these cutscenes are done in Halo 3 is beyond intersting.

Woah, that's awesome. Are Halo 4's cutscenes pre-rendered or are they like this, too?

I wonder what it feels like to spend weeks and months iterating on a New multiplayer map. All the careful thought put into layout, cover, flow etc.
Then...
Jetpack.
Then...
Jetpack.
Because the people who design the maps have no idea that the jetpack exists?
I don't know of a single map outside of Bloodgulch where the jetpack can't break it.
And you could jet up to the bases in blood gulch.
ran out of live gold and was playing splitscreen as guest on the gf's account. found out that guests can't use mics in halo 4 at all.
In reach I could use a mic as a guest (aside from party chat but I prefer game chat so I can, you know, communicate with the team)
another thing on the list that shows 343 doesn't give a fuck about splitscreen players (and communication). combined with horrible framerates on abandon, complex (especially!), solace and pretty much every btb map, hard to see radar, lack of reticule scaling, tiny motherfucking allcaps killfeed/scoreboard text... makes it the least enjoyable halo in splitscreen matchmaking.

I wish we knew what didn't have time to be implemented vs what 343 deliberately cut.
I think the biggest issue I have is that the power weapons spawn *in your base* on many maps like Exile. On maps like Meltdown, where they appear outside, the camping issue is less of a problem*
*Although Meltdown's binary rifle and incineration cannon fiesta causes its own problems.
The team vehicle lockdown mechanic is one of the purely best ideas to come by Halo multiplayer in a long time, though.

You mean you can't deliberately cut something because of time restraints?
You know what I meant. What are the things 343 didn't even want to put in the game, and what did 343 want but couldn't put in.

I had a brain fart. Thanks for clarifying.
We might hear some similar stuff soon with that Kevin Franklin interview
I hope so. Looking forward to that and the pax panel.
PAX Panel should be awesome. I'm actually really jealous of those who are making it.
Ok Kevin Franklin Resubmission of questions:
Rules:
1. I decide which of your questions I want to use
2. You can send me as many questions as you want
3. Questions like, "why did you ruin Halo?" or "Can you bring Halo back?" will be instantly thrown out.
4. YOU HAVE TO PM ME THE QUESTIONS. I will not look at any questions posted here. PM me the questions
5. PM me the questions you have for the Kevin Franklin interview
6. PM me the questions you have for the Kevin Franklin interview
7. PM me the questions you have for the Kevin Franklin interview
Topics of discussion:
-CSR (this will be a large focus of the interview) Just about anything and everything about CSR is acceptable
-Current playlists
-Gametypes during their development stages, protoypes. How the game has changed since early development.
-General future playlist directions
-Sandbox
Stuff you can't ask about:
-Castle Map Pack
-Future title updates
-Future feature additions
Also, the topics of discussion I posted above are guidelines but not hard rules. Keep that in mind.
I'll post another reminder tomorrow.
Ask away!
Your question negates the part where you said the stuff about not being a moron, etc.
Come to PAX and ask him
Touche. Taking my seat now.
Halo 5 is going back to the roots.

If mainline halo games start using subtitles, I'm out.
Halo 5 is immediately more succinct and recognizable than "HALO: THE QUEST FOR CORTANA" or some ol' bullsheeit
