Nice to hear Red X is actually fixed.
The Game Trailers video is also surprisingly well thought out and addresses a lot of the gripes with the current Halo formula. It's also rather surprising to see a mainstream media outlet like GT openly acknowledge how far Halo has fallen. Maybe they embargo on negative feedback and constructive criticism is finally lifted?
I still think that Halo needs to return to a true arena shooter if it wants to compete for a top spot on Xbox Live. When your latest release is beat out by a yearly basketball franchise it's time to reconsider the path that you've chosen.

Sorry, can't, I've got no time to do so.
I'm stuck in my H3 forging ways! Wanted a flat ground to pile stuff on top of. I've learned from my mistake... Eh, maybe rebuilding will be a fun timewaster.
Forge should be able to import scenes from maya or sketchup or something. Make it happen 343.
They should really have a PC program that lets you build maps, and then import them to the game.
Frankie said that the X on death they had before was less than ideal, so I'm glad they were actively fixing it. How's it look for those who have played with it fixed? Does it also retroactively change for our past videos or videos in our files are, much like the first X update?
Real quick n dirty, here's their bullet points:
Embrace Sci-fi weaponry (more unique weapons like needler, less repeats like promethean)
Large scale environments (silent cartographer)
Simpler premise contained to the games
Be the innovator of multiplayer once again (new xp grinds are meh, try community stuff like little big planet)
Halo is saved! We can all go back and play it together! HaloGAF unite!

It's a Friday so I'm ok with being on later than usual. Crappy timezones.

Red X's are nice they do the job. Waiting on those balance changes now.
Anyone got pics? I'm at work and can't go check it out for myself.

Really glad 343 fixed the X markers. Maybe I'll start playing again if Legendary Slayer is good.
Wonder why they didn't mention that it was being fixed.

They wanted to surprise us all.
Well, I'm glad Gametrailers made this video.
It's exactly what I want.
I really hope they have more than just 4-5 different races of enemies (Fallen being one). Even though there are multiple types of enemies within each race, I feel like they look too much alike, and in the end it will just feel like the Fallen is one single type of enemy (just like the different Knights are pretty much the same).
Didn't know it was changed. Pretty cool.

Checked quickly and they're finally as they should be. Glad they released it without fanfare and less than 3's too.

I'll have to hop on and check out the new red x's today after my finals. The first iteration of them in Halo 4 was half asses to say the least.

Six and a half hours later and Unknown still hasn't put up his post.
For shame, Funk. For shame.

It's actually a lot of fun sometimes.
I like having zero games played in it though.

"Rockets on my new red X. Good luck getting to it before it despawns, fucker."
I expect to hear this at least once a game.
Their reasoning was that, "It made a lot of money."
Microsoft is milking a cow they already made a burger out of.

Hahaha. Fantastic.
Boeing 343 fix the tank next please
E: Just noticed the amazing work my teammates did. Good job!
Tank isn't OP. If you can't kill a Tank in Halo 4 then you deserve to get destroyed by it.

Pretty much this, isn't it only on Exile too? There are so many nooks to hide in and jump a tank it's crazy.
We found out a day ago we could get the fix out on Friday at 2 am, instead of Saturday. We can't launch on Saturday because you don't have xbl teams on deck to fix if it breaks til Monday. So 2am Friday gave us time for emergency fixes and gets it out so people can use it over the weekend. So we pulled the trigger. Here is the official announce:
"Red Xs are fixed properly. Sorry they were busted so long."

Someone take a screenshot! I must see this beautiful thing!
Naw mang, there's a spot in the map where nobody can get near you.
Nooks? With the blast radius this baby has, they'z gon. GON.
Last about 3-5 seconds. Just like they used to :3

A plasma pistol blast flies pretty far. Also you wouldn't see me coming if I decided to use camo. Trust me, I can take out any vehicle in this game.
Thanks for the update, glad to see teams are still hard at work refining 4.
Now if we could just get some symmetrical maps in CTF.
If you're on about the spot by that makeshift gate with a warthog as a counterweight, then yeah that spot is the only spot the Tank can do decently in. Either team can spawn at the base though, and tag you with PP or Plasma nades. It either shows that the other team were reluctant to push, or held the lift base well enough that they never really had the chance to spawn elsewhere, and got wrecked as they went by tank spawn or center mid.
