Tried asking this once before but got no response.
Am I able to get the mantis stomp achievement still even though crimson DLC matchmaking is no longer a playlist?

Oh sweet, thanks for your side of the info. I haven't gone in as a To4 so I wasn't sure.
The most notable over abundance of snipers is on Adrift CTF. Two, every two minutes with 12 rounds each I believe. Hopefully they change them to 3 minute drops.
I get where you're coming from but in the case of the 'press B to back out of lobby' while the voting options are up, one definitely can blame the game in part for offering such an easy get-out for players who don't like the voting options/the way the vote is going/the look of the other teams gamertags. It's especially grievous when the leader of a To2 drops from the lobby leaving the game to start 2v4. Without jip the entire game is ruined and MM should default back to searching for players.
I've made it a thing to not quit my games in throwdown unless I lose two or more teammates. Didn't quit a single game today so the vast majority of players were staying in. I've dropped a few DDNB's (dubdignegbombs) with this attitude but like others have said, I don't really mind getting stomped in throwdown too much because there isn't much cheapness, outside of the aforementioned incineration cannon, sword, occasionally the needler and the odd sprint double beatdown. Just the fact that there's no camo AA ensures the playlist is 1000 times less bullshit than your average infinity game.
Yes.
Sadly, that's 95% of Halo 4 Forge maps. I've only ever played on 2 Forge maps in Halo 4 that don't have framerate latency(not to toot my own horn, but Intercession is one of them).

Castle Map Pack secret ODST expansion campaign confirmed .
Oh I wish. That was one squad I think could use a revisiting.
Funny story, my SO has Nathan's dad as a patient (he's from my hometown).
Another gem from the Xbox Event thread, this one with our friend Frankie lol.
It'll never happen. Microsoft didn't disband perhaps one of the best RTS studios in the world soon after the launch of Halo Wars just so that a few years later, they could make Halo wars 2.
Even if they tried, they'd likely not be able to regather the talent that was at Ensemble.
Halo Wars was highly rated, it sold millions, and is well regarded by Halo fans and accepted and Microsoft still shut Ensemble down.
Hmmmm should Frankie really be Charlie though?

Alternatively, you could have the whole "glassed half a continent" thing be the finale, and you're once again stuck trying to get out of there in time to rendezvous with Chief and fight on the Ark.

I'm done. Just went 8-26 on Relay because you're absolutely fucked if the enemy team is in anyway competent. Jesus.

Split screen is for filthy hippies that don't work two jobs to buy another 360 and live subscription.

I posted it before, but I'd love to see a side story where you (as an ODST and your squad) have to escape a flood infected High Charity after the in Amber clad crashed there. You would fight Flood, Brutes and their allies, and Elites with theirs. Parts of High Charity could function as a Hub world. Scattered pelicans around the Hub could provide ammo for human weapons and maybe even vehicles in the hub world/during missions. We don't know a lot about High Charity, so it'd also be a great opportunity to explore the city, and the Covenant's culture. Your objective would basically be to escape the city alive.
It'd also be a great way to incorporate an explanation for the dead ODST with the flamethrower who you can find on Cortana

Yeah but your forgetting most of the talent went to form Robot Studios, they supported Halo Wars with 2 DLC packs and 5 title updates post launch and also post Ensemble shutdown.
I believe they could deliver a Halo Wars 2
"Big Trouble in little China" with Kurt Russell
Always Sunny in Philadelphia. That Gif is amazing haha.
The 25th...im waiting to see what the consensus is. I foolishly bought the Crimson map pack when I wanted to play. I should have just bought the season pass from the start. While I'd want to buy the majestic maps, I don't want to risk it without hearing what HaloGAF thinks.

Oh man I'd SO be down for Purple: The Game. It would explain where it all went in Halo 4, anyway. /stillbitteraboutthat

These maps look like a lot of fun tbh.
Some fucking amazing Skybox art. I really like how dynamic the Skybox art is this time around also.
Anyone making a gaming side thread for Majestic?
Thanks !
See it. It's awesome.
Ensemble closed down because they didn't want to just do RTSes. MS would only greenlight RTSes from Ensemble, since they knew those were a sure bet.
In effect, Robot is the part of Ensemble that wanted to do RTSes. Bonfire ended up being bought by Zynga and renamed Zynga Dallas.
edit: well this post is now weird since you edited yours out :lol
edit2: and the third spinoff, Newtoy Inc, made a little game called Words With Friends and also got bought by Zynga.

I wouldn't have a problem with a Shotgun and SAW on these maps if it wasn't for the 89037433434 ammo they give you with them. All the power weapons need less ammo because of how easy they are to score kills with and control.
I love how involved they were with the Halo Wars community. People asked for fixes, they realized how broken some of the things people were complaining about were and they were updated reasonably quick.

LOL RIP Gauss Hog Rush - I remember learning about the Cryo glitch so late in the game :b
I disagree. That's part of the reason why we put all our eggs in each Halo basket because we were used to long dev cycles. In order for Halo to stay relevant and maintain its appeal, 343/M$ need to pump out significant Halo releases yearly.
Not saying they all have to be Halo numbered FPS, but they have to be significant.
Uhh yes. Kotaku is one of many that do that.
ODST 2 please.
So is that a good thing or a bad thing?

I think the weapons and overshield should come up a little less often on Simplex. Also, there should be jump ups to top mid
Early 2013.

Wouldn't pass up a chance to get some early games in on it. Looks pretty solid, though a little corridor-heavy. Won't make any judgments until I've got some games in on it.
