If you put it in the game you incentivize a culture of competitive spirit and playing to win.

Right now this is missing from Halo 4. Are you content with sacrificing that to deter this pitying group of basement boosters? That you think a visual CSR is merely a measure of e-peen demonstrates to me the sheer gulf between what I want, and in fact need, to play a 'good' Halo game again, and what I'm currently getting.


Don't be so absurd.

Gimp the game for all and said cheaters won't play the game. Along with genuine Halo fans.

Among alllllllll the little things that make Halo 4 what it is, I can say with confidence it was never meant to bring a competitive spirit or playing to win in the first place. They will never budge on that.

Scoreboard doesn't auto-show on death. No final team scores on carnage report. +10-whatever ingame. It's too obvious.

Tons of open air. One island has a test remake of Hang em High in it.

Entire forge island map is huuuuuuuge. They built hang me high on it.

Map is free, out in April 11.

 

[Dongs Macabre]

New Forge map? Awesome! Too bad it's not a desert.

 

[Nowise10]

...Why is no one taking a picture of the new Forgeworld, but they took pictures of all that statistics stuff...

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

But cheating and abuse have never been higher than they were in Reach and Halo 4. If it's not level 50 general, people will cheat to be inheritor or SR-130...

Is cheating and abuse the real reason you're not adding ranks because that's a cop out sir.

Never been higher than Reach or 4? Are you serious? You were obviously still a sperm when Halo 2 came out.

I am working on candy bar version

Thnx.

I had Dave Walsh on our PAX East 2K Live Stream. I'll try to get the snippet for you guys. Talked competitive gaming (and Halo of course). Had a great interview with him. Also had a chance to meet Andy and Kevin from 343i (missed Jess though). I will try to get that posted for you guys.

Might do some stuff with 343i tomorrow for our live stream - will let you guys know.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Its a free map on April 11th.

 

[Arnie]

I don't play Halo with my phone at the ready. Or a tablet. Or a surface. Or a laptop. I don't want Windows 8 so I can jack into my virtual CSR. I don't want a rank to stroke my e-peen.

I want to know the ability level of my teammates and my opponents and I want Halo to feel like a sport rather than some fiesta based rainbow rod of random, join in progress bollocks.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

I think they are going to stop halfway now and go JK

Ranks are in game 1-50 we added dedis and competitive playlists and patched the game to run at 60 fps! Heres a 8 free map pack!

 

[Ryaaan14]

Oh it looks like Forge World.

One slice two people I guess.

 

[enzo_gt]

FREE MAP WOOT

Now tell us about the object/colour changes.

 

[heckfu]

Is the panel still going on? Still at the hospital and preoccupied so I'm not able to follow along live. If anyone posts a concise breakdown will they link it to me?

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Its a free map on April 11th.

That's what I'm talking about.

 

[Tashi]

Forge Island is the name. New palette.

Hey that's cool!

Its a free map on April 11th.

Oh nice, free flat stuff is nice!

 

[Ramirez]

Another Hang'em High remake? The good news just keeps rolling.

 

[Silly.Mikey]

Didn't we know like a year ago it would be Waypoint only?

Yes but people in here wanted to bitch anyway

It is kinda stupid tho having only online. But whatever.

 

[Reagan's BR]

"Tweaks aren't universal"

Yup, Megalo hooks

They could remove sprint with Megalo...

Please remove sprint.


Ranks not being in game is still ridiculous

Team Shark: 230
Team Dolphin: 165

Quick glance at the scoreboard what the fuck.

You are not the target audience.

Still waiting on the H3PC reveal.

 

[Caja 117]

ban people who cheat

MS doesnt even ban gamertags that used Moded xbox, let alone someone who is just exploiting a game ranking system.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Free forge island? Awesome. May have to put down Halo wars for a while and check it out.

 

[kittens]

Another Hang'em High remake? The good news just keeps rolling.

Hahaha

 

[Ryaaan14]

On Monday, April 1st they will announce that CSR will be available to view from the in-game lobby.

 

[orznge]

lol if I had Halo 4 I'd grief people and abuse JiP just to spite Frankie's post

 

[FyreWulff]

Hang Em High

For the fifth Halo game in a row


Remade by Certain Affinity for the third time

They can probably reforge that map in their sleep :lol

 

[Tashi]

Q/A, hold x to pick up flag? Descoping? Can't rule it out, not in plans. Descoping not happening.

Cue Radiohead - Letdown

This map is NOT forge world. Aesthetic is similar to Ravine.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Props for Forge Island, 343. Big time.

 

[Arnie]

Cue Radiohead - Letdown

Been on repeat since early November.

 

[Reagan's BR]

Glad the map is free.


Also Hang Em High wasn't even that good in Halo 1. It was fun for 2v2. Very overrated map.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Weapon tweaks not universal?

That mean just doing non-universal for action sack type stuff or did they learn nothing from the fragmentation machine that was Reach matchmaking?

 

[Tashi]

Been on repeat since early November.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

The flat space is cool. Are the new pieces actually logical this time?

 

[Ramirez]

Q/A, hold x to pick up flag? Descoping? Can't rule it out, not in plans. Descoping not happening.

lol, grade A fucking joke.

Can't rule out auto pick up of flag? Should have been one of the top priorities, it's shit. Descoping I can take or leave, but it should be an option.

 

[IHaveIce]

NO pick up flag or descoping.



343 I can somehow understand if you don't want it in MM .. BUT GIVE US CUSTOM OPTIONS BACK

 

[orznge]

The legendary Join In Progress option, lauded as the savior of Halo and purveyor of Good Online Experiences.

 

[FyreWulff]

I didn't see a gate

"Are you sure you want to add Enter The 36 Chambers to your ignore list?"

First and only guy I've ignored. I tried to let it go but the dude can't stop from being an obnoxious asshole who singles me out with insults or personal attacks.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Okay, Ravine shared Forge World's aethetics, now Forge Island shares the same aesthetics as Ravine but not Forge World.

My mind is full of fuck etc

 

[Tashi]

Why Valhalla and not BG? No one likes this kid. Valhalla was chosen because Mantis.

.

This kid wants super bouncing Easter egg back

Someone pull the mic away from this kid

What's your favorite load out, will skip details.

Woooooooooooow. What a choke of a question. Check to see if he shat his pants too

Question time. The usual awkwardness from the mic. One guy demanded Blood Gulch return.

holy shit

 

[IHaveIce]

I'm also surprised about the descoping question.. I mean that was a good question, that is rare at pax

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

"Are you sure you want to add Enter The 36 Chambers to your ignore list?"

So you weren't a sperm at one point?

 

[NOKYARD]

Flat grass? Nokyard can finally retired

I'm already retired. That's why i do this shit.

 

[FyreWulff]

Apparently the large island is big enough to hold a remake of Blood Gulch?

That's a pretty big island

 

[Hey You]

Now just announce Infection coming back/ability to give Flood weapons/edit loadouts.

 

[Ramirez]

Okay, Ravine shared Forge World's aethetics, now Forge Island shares the same aesthetics as Ravine but not Forge World.

My mind is full of fuck etc

Is that girl in your avatar afraid of a huge cock about to enter her anus?

 

[Madness]

So you weren't a sperm at one point?

Dude I already told that guy several times, he's obsessed with me or something. Goes through my post history, makes insults, wishes I get banned, and is just in general a jerk towards me. I have no problem with anyone else, but there's no call for being a dick all the time.

Do you really think Halo 2 had less cheating than 3/Reach?

 

[JHall]

Not being able to ping a sniper put of scope makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Is that girl in your avatar afraid of a huge cock about to enter her anus?

She is enjoying herself I think.
