Goosing in Halo is the act of using the Mongoose as an offensive vehicle. This means going for splatters using the Mongoose, or being a backseat rider and getting kills using weapons while on the back. I'll quote a huge wall from Death by Mongoose for you. I doubt most people will read it, and I don't blame you, but it explains the history of Goosing.
I'll just throw this wall at you all now.
Also I'm pretty sure I have the only Halo 4 Goosetage, and don't take that as a brag or anything cause it just shows how dead Goosing is. Thanks Reach you piece of crap.

I'll be on around 730 CST. Until about 12am CST.
I guess this explains why every match last night some idiot on a Mongoose would drive at us (and get demolished).

Grenade Launcher: Press RT for remote detonation then press again to detonate (functions like Sticky Detonator). Hold RT to have it bounce and let go to cause explosion (functions like GL).
Keep a 4sk BR. Remove the bloom on the DMR and make it a map pickup. Bring back the Halo 1 Pistol as it was. Make a Beta playlist for the community to test these things because this is the direction Halo needs to go; more community involvement with these kinds of changes. Profit.
I never bought the notion of how stressful, tedious and enduring this process of testing changes are. Halo 1 and 2 were accidents and look at how loved that games still are; they hold up to this day.
That poor guy... In Halo 2 I used to stand over people after I killed them and played different game over sounds thanks to proximity chat lol
Also, good shit gag, fubar, rev3rb and whoever else contributed to those MONSTER HOG rides B] - We roll deep.

Plasma Pistol + Plasma Grenades + Jetpack
RIP Vehicle Combat
All these AAs should be pickups. Promethean Vision as a powerup would be neat, because then only one person would have the ability to look through walls.
They should have just expanded upon the powerup system instead of giving everyone powerups

Especially when you consider that, in the case of H4, they literally have nothing to lose by making sandbox changes. The sandbox is already an awful mess.

I had the same issue until I started using it in Spops. That's really all I did to get used to it.

I didn't notice anything...........
Pretty sure I was streaming at the time. I'll see if I can clip it when I get home.

I don't think the SD takes more skill, it just has a longer "between shot" time. If you fuck up shot one you can't shoot again right away.
For those interested, I crunched up some kill times for our new sandbox.
DMR - 1.47s (completely unchanged)
Carbine - 1.40s (used to be 1.63s)
LRu - 1.77s (completely unchanged)
LRs - 1.40s (completely unchanged)
Since they didn't say how much they reduced the RoF by or how many bullets it now takes to kill with the BR, here are the possibilities.
f = frame(s)
1. 4sk, 10 bullets, 1f slower/shot (14f) = 42f = 1.40 seconds
2. 4sk, 11 bullets, 1f slower/shot (14f) = 43f = 1.43 seconds
3. 4sk, 12 bullets, 1f slower/shot (14f) = 44f = 1.47 seconds
4. 4sk, 10 bullets, 2f slower/shot (15f) = 45f = 1.50 seconds
5. 4sk, 11 bullets, 2f slower/shot (15f) = 46f = 1.53 seconds
6. 4sk, 12 bullets, 2f slower/shot (15f) = 47f = 1.57 seconds
7. 4sk, 10 bullets, 3f slower/shot (16f) = 48f = 1.60 seconds
8. 4sk, 11 bullets, 3f slower/shot (16f) = 49f = 1.63 seconds
9. 4sk, 12 bullets, 3f slower/shot (16f) = 50f = 1.67 seconds
I would probably guess that it is either #1 or #4. The BR is currently 5sk, 13 bullets, and a 1.73s kill time.

I"m too old to worry about K/D, so I have that going for me. I just want a decently competitive match where people don't act like fucking assholes and jetpack/camo/PromVision all over the place. It doesn't happen much, but whenever I stop enjoying a certain playlist, I'll cleanse the palette with Action Sack.

Regicide should be turned into FFA Action Sack with added gametypes.
Shot positioning matters so much more. If you know how to bounce grenades (which you should at at least the lower competitive level), you already know how to make maximum use of the grenade launcher. These are transferable skills you should already have.
It's pretty easy to be a doofus with the Sticky Detonator and get snuffed incorrectly timing a shot or misjudging distance. Think of all the players who get destroyed just trying to aim the damn thing. The weapon really isn't all that good when the pace of gameplay gets faster and your opponents have half an idea on how to move and it requires you to be MUCH more on the ball with every shot to compensate for enemy movement compared to the grenade launcher where you can let the bounce eliminate several movement options from you're enemy. Add this on top of the longer reload time and yeah, it's quite evident you need to put a lot more mental work into getting a kill with the detonator.
EDIT: On top of that, you probably can get at least 2 shots and chances to kill with the grenade launcher compared to the detonator when you're one and done because of the reload time. Not sure though, haven't played Reach in a while and I'm not willing to go back and check.

Someone make a HaloGAF meme.

"MOST FREQUNTED PLAYLIST IS ACTIOn SACK"

Infinity Slayer on Sword Base
I mean we have to do this sometime, just to know what it's like
It's my favorite playlist in 4 at the moment.
Throwdown's decent enough, but it's still not where it should be.

Sword Base is god tier stuff. You can't even handle that level.

lol Sword Base. The hate for that map was incredible.
You'd play Sword Base over Haven? Really?

I was looking for you so I can add you on my friend's list. I'm up for doing that again tonight if everyone is up for it.
Can you go into BTB with a party higher than 8? Like go in with 12 and have four people randomly get put on the other team every game? We had so many people waiting to join in last night that it makes me wonder if we could do that to keep everyone interested and in the game together.
EDIT: Forgot about that guy saying we were just padding our k/d ratio last night. That was hilarious.

Just so much WAT here.
It matters less. Get it somewhere in the vacinity of the person and detonate. If you don't finish 'em immediately, don't reload like a dumbass. Whip out your primary and finish them off because they're practically dead anyway. Stick it to a teammate and have them just sprint at and shoot people. Detonate when the MOTION TRACKER (which gives not just range, but positioning) has a red dot. Guaranteed kills.
"reload time" "reload time" "reload time"
um...
"wider and stronger blast radius, easier to aim, simpler to use, less on-the-fly thinking, blah, blah, blah."
Whatever dude.
Oh would you look at the time?

Then I'm pretty sure these babbies can't aim the other guns too. There's some travel time, but seriously just point and shoot.
Again, quit reloading and just shoot them. How is this any different than the GL? You missed, but maybe damaged them? Finish them off. Problem solved.

Ascent is worse.
By over a 100 post margin, I'd say this is an accurate statement.

Sword Base is the worst map in Halo. I'd rather play Chiron Oddball.

The forge maps in Reach were miserable. I would play Complex literally (literally) 1,000 times before I had to play any Reach forge map once.
YourExWife

And still better than any Reach map.
Even Asylum? That was the only one I really enjoyed. I preferred Over's remake, but Asylum was one of the better maps in Reach imo. Not really saying much, but still.
Powerhouse is awesome; you shut your dirty mouth.
Then again, everyone knows my love for asymmetrical maps. Except for Isolation.

Hmm, I'm usually never in the top 10. I must have had too much caffeine this go-round.
As for worst map, alright, yes, the Reach forge maps are garbage, but I hate Sword Base just a tad more. Halo 4 has some abysmal maps too, but I really loathe Sword Base.
EDIT: Fu, I like the new avatar.
