H3's release schedule was possibly the worst handling/organization of DLC for AAA game ever, so bad.
This is true, but the game was also good so people were still playing when Mythic came out. Wars and ODST were also really good and kept people around. Also the maps themselves were generally pretty solid. Granted the 360 landscape is pretty different now so that kind of thing probably wouldn't be able to happen again but at the time it as awesome.
Halo 4 is pretty much toast 6 months in and that's pretty depressing. ;_;

Remember dudes, Halo 4 is shitty, its only still alive because it has Halo in its name. If this game was named something like Brink it'd be selling for 3 dollars on Gamefly atm.
343 has made a bad Halo. They need to go back and remember why Halo is special and not just another FPS.

Shamelessly pimping one of my musical OCs: Tashi, if you guys are looking for an opening jingle to the HaloGAF podcast, would you be interested in something like this?

I can extend it a bit and I have like 8 different versions of it (percussion only, no brass, etc)

Cyren posted this in r/Halo, but since he hasn't posted it here I figured I might as well.

Endure: The Return
0 / 1 - 30000 cR
Complete four sets on any Firefight map in co-op play on Heroic or harder.
I thought this was a Halo 4 challenge at first.
Just imagine the meltdowns.

I dont understand why are they still hired to do the maps.
Most of the Halo 4 maps are the same giant donut with a room on the middle.

LOL that damn Vidmaster........ I had a party of 4 to tackle Endure, but one dude I just KNEW would waste a lot of lives, so I was like "idkkk patriot.. I can see you dying with our last life just before we beat this shit.."
......but we tried anyway. Then guess what happened? We were on the last damn set, last round, last enemy and he was the last person alive....... I was like "DO NOT DIE!" but the fucker runs up the staircase without checking his surroundings and gets blasted by a Fuel Rod Grunt.........................
2 hours.. 2 hard-earned hours wasted. Made for a hilarious story though and a great memory :b - But damn that achievement felt good once it was unlocked.

I was going drop a post here to say not to take any advice you get from an internet message board...
...but then these guys posted...AND TOTALLY REDEEMED THEMSELVES!!!!
You can make a game accessible without making it for babbies
That's true, but 343 took it a bit overboard, don't you think?

Combat Evolved 2 has to happen now more than ever. That was a good watch.
Kinda down for Halo 3 Campaign.. FUBAR we out? Anyone else?

My only dislike is that it's a defensive vehicle. Save for some of the obvious things like energy shields I'm not a huge fan of adding mechanics designed exclusively around defense because it slows down the gameplay too much - see Armor Lock, for example.
The Mantis, likewise, has a considerable amount of health for a Halo 4 vehicle even if an Incineration Cannon can one-shot it. This is also somewhat exacerbated by having such powerful armaments. Couple that with the personal shielding, people just end up turtling with the mantis and crouch-walking on Ragnarok. If they had put more emphasis on the stomp, made it slightly faster and required it to get in close to do any significant damage I think I'd be a little happier with it. As ridiculous as it sounds, giving the Mantis some kind of vertical movement option like jumping would be hilarious, too.
See the Chopper as a really really good example of a vehicle with a good mix of offense and defense.

The Mantis is impressively boring, what a waste of a vehicle.
Bungie started it, 343 carried the torch

So why are all of the vehicles made out of paper?

343 had a perfect opportunity to extinguish that torch.

I still think 343/Microsoft had a huge in role in how Reach came out.
I like to believe 343/Microsoft told Bungie to add Armor Abilities and Bloom and such. Kickstart 343 and Microsoft's vision for Halo.

You can think that, but it's pretty damn silly.
Well that's dumb. I sincerely doubt anything like that is true.

I was worried that video would be bad, but I gotta say they brought up some good points. Good job GT, good job.
lol exactly what I'm thinking. I mean the video raised some good points, but it hardly said anything bad about Halo 4. The worst thing they said was pretty much that it was stale. That's hardly "shitting on" halo 4.

I only think that because it doesn't make sense how 343 would KEEP all those things, regardless of the major community backlash. They were really keen on the new changes, even though no one else was. Just seems strange to me. Bungie justified it as "It's what we always wanted to do with Halo." If that was true, why were stuff like that not even hinted at in Halo 2 or Halo 3? Just seems off to me.

Regardless of you're reasoning, it's still a dumb thought.
