People will eat whatever shit is shoveled in their mouth, still doesn't excuse bad design.
It doesn't, but it also doesn't help that they give the creators the voter data to support their design , and they take voter data as what people want because listening to people on forums is appealing to the vocal minority.
The boltshot and armor lock are the most baffling things done to halo. Even greenskull thought armor lock was a terrible idea!
We don't want to remember
BUt yeah every game has some weird decisions or design flaws, thing is it seems like with Halo these flaws are just almost the worst possible outcome.
Everything just relies on another in Halo and if one aspect is gone to shit, the whole game will feel worse

They'll never learn. If it was up to the community the playlists would be Fiesta, Zombies and Grifball.
Give the masses gimmicks that help them win and compensate for their lack of skill, and they will use it every time. It's their (343/Bungie/Every game developer ever) job as game designers to know that shit will get exploited to hell and lead to shallow gimmicky gameplay. They failed that job.
I mentioned this a while back but I think there should be like a polling feature in game. Maybe give an XP incentive to go to it and vote. That way it gets the whole community involved. And if someone doesn't want to vote then fuck them they don't care anyway

You can listen to everyone like for instance there's a great mix and sample group on Halogaf a great blend of competitive n casuals n forgers n creative types n analytical types n slrpers n salt.
However when seriously deciding on issues you should only actually seriously contemplate my ideas. Everyone else is wrong.

I would love to see this. I have no idea which way it would actually go, but it would be nice to test out the idea. It would split some of the population (I like both, so I would split up my time anyway), but it seems for the most part it would cater to an audience that had already left, so it should actually build an overall larger active on-going population.

Halo started in this direction with Reach, 343 took it all the way with 4 and look at the pop numbers. Why play generic CoD clone #4?

Yup, that's how I felt after playing Halo 2. Next read Halo Evolutions, you'll love those short stories.
Silly dude didn't notice I'm 100% for Halo, but I'll let him find out I'm not a chick (even though I was talking during that Dominion game lol) next time we're in a party. And here I was thinking I made an actual Halo friend in 2013 from playing H4..
Anyway nice, we're getting an update this August for Halo Reach:
Good stuff tonight FUBAR, we did a frikkin Halo round-robin B] - Halo 4, then some Halo 3 Campaign, then some Halo 1 Hog jumps (still shocked you never seen those) and ended with some Anniversary in Reach. Great Halo night.
lol

Oh that was a joke lol. It popped up when I played Reach from my H:CEA disc, but it was definitely from back then :b
Pro-gamer migration to League of Legends reveals tension between eSports communities
I WANT SOME GODDAMN GOOD TENSION 3POOR3, NOT THIS COOKIE CUTTER GOBEYOND/HALO COUNCIL GARBAGE.
I'd be sad if it was a Halo 3 picture and you told me you were joking after.
Those LoL numbers.
GF night was that bad, eh?
Armour lock almost single handedly killed Vehicle splattering. The other thing that contributed was DMR/Sniper being so damn effective and crapping on Vehicles.
Armor lock almost singlehandedly killed Halo:Reach. It broke almost every area of the game. People blocking rockets, blocking sword lunges, splatters, even direct stickies. Perhaps one of the worst things ever put in a Halo game.
I'm pretty sure he can do both things at once
That to. I think my love for Vehicle combat has me focus on one point in the larger picture that is Halo.
And to think that good people out there are looking for employment...

Definitely made for and by Bungie employees.
Fixed. Had to be said.
I just read through the first page of this thread for the first time.
The key is to wait until they come out of it, then kill them. Even the guys over at Waypoint know that.

Not sure if serious.

Either way it's definitely for someone who thought "I hate being beat by people while I run around like a dumbass, I need some kind of delay so my team mates can help my stupid ass and my opponent who's obviously better than me can get fucked."
I'm sure you're sure.
Are you really sure that your sure that I'm sure?
Direct quote from Bungie studios in 2010.
Not really, but I'm sure something similar was uttered in the halls at some point.

I can confirm, I am red X
Nice big Red X on screen that stays in place where your teammate gets killed. Last about 3 to 4 seconds.

Wait, for real? They fixed the Xs properly now?

They did.
Good news on the X thing, was hoping to play some this weekend anyways.
I hardly get time to play anymore, so this was built over months of intermittent hour-long sessions. I originally chose erosion as my canvas because I wanted a flat ground to work off of, but the ground was so damn bright that I eventually had to cover it up. I also wasn't aware of how incomprehensible erosion pieces are when put together, it's like staring at a pile of misshapen turtles. Now I'm left with this greengray mess that I half want to remake in a different canvas, half want to cut my losses.
Anyways, here's one of the kitty buildings.
This 2v2 thing of mine is getting close to playable. I hid some coli walls to get a diorama picture.

I'd make the jump to Forge Island to be honest.

Wow.
This is a great...great video. This video explains everything (I think) wrong with Halo 4 and certain things in relation to 343's design mentality.
343 would do well to heed the suggestions in this video. It would serve as a concise guide to consult when designing the next Halo(s).
Wow, that's pretty random, and totally unannounced? How can we be sure it's going to work if they didn't even fly the community out to test it for them?
Excellent video.
I want them to stealth patch the game to perfection, and see if anyone realises.
