Anyone else having troubble to download the Castle Map pack via the in-game menu? When I click on the Xbox Live Marketplace, I get: "There are no items available for purchase at this time".
If you press OK, it proceeds to the list, with all the downloadable items, but the Castle Map pack isn't there.

Same here. 343i did the stupid thing again.
Anyone can share the .xcp file for us? We can download it via PC.

Once again, the people who foolishly bought the map pack are left waiting. Love it.
I still am, my scheduling for work is a bit weird this week so I'm not sure when I'll be able to get on.

So when is the next title update coming out to fix the death Xs?

Well, guess while I'm waiting for 343 to fix their issues...
Harmony
Overview. Looking to maybe get this in the Doubles playlist. Currently only Slayer is supported (alas no 1-flag). Sticky and Prom Grenades are Initial Ordnance, 120sec timers.
Railgun spawns in the cave as Initial Ordnance, relatively equidistant from each team's spawn. 150sec timer
Sniper spawns in on Gold Street at 150sec.
Needs lots of testing, so download and let me know if anyone's interested in playing.

Still won't work for me through the in-game menu. It does allow me to do it if I enter the market place from the home screen but it wants me to pay for it (I have the season pass).
Fucking wow.
There is some kind of glitch with the population counters right now. This past week I will often see hilariously low population numbers but then it fixes itself after a few games. That number is not accurate. I just went on there are probably closer to 10,000 online.

Fucking wow.
My counter says just under 8,000.
Fucking wow.
It's 8 am on a weekday, calm down bro.
I started up some games in custom games in the meantime, maybe you have just to restart Halo 4 or something.
Thanks to those guys, who recommended me some maps via the recommend feature. Maps are looking cool.

Get your shit together 343.
1st world problems. Think of the children in Europe or something who get laggy games because of US hosts. That'll bring their CSR down!!!

It got pushed from a rumored date to another rumored date. My money says it was May all along. The 360 was shown in late May too. Show the console the week before E3, show the games at E3. It will be out this fall for sure.

Well I couldn't start the download before work, oh well. I guess I'll have to wait until this afternoon for Halo to be saved.
Tried one more time before I left, it's working for me now. You don't have to worry anymore, everyone! I will be fine.

It took me a few try's. keep loading the marketplace through halo 4. It came up soon after.
Extraction on Perdition: Why does red team start 45m from their closest extraction point, while blue team spawns 100m from theirs? Two site Extraction is dumb in the first place, but if you're going to do a gametype that's based around rushing the first point and winning based on that capture time, at least make the spawns fair.

Downloading now. Yay
Two site ends up feeling like hide and seek. You can play a whole match, and win, and only have 3 kills and 2 deaths. One site is much better.
I can see why there are a lot of good words said for Daybreak, I had a pretty good time with it just now in a CTF match (4v4 in Castle playlist). Couple of things, though. Those bases are not functionally symmetrical, that's a load of crap. Red base is way, waaaay easier to get the flag out of with that mancannon. The map also seems like it might be too large laterally for its own good, but I'll need to spend some more time with it to be sure. Plasma pistol is going to be a necessity on that map if you want to counter the Banshee, since it's still hilariously overpowered.
Waypoint's playlist page shows max party size of 8, so looks like it was changed to a 4v4 playlist.
Definitely. I've mentioned it before, but default Extraction is one of the most passive gametypes in the entire series.
I agree I really dislike 2-pt extraction for this reason. It's really boring.

What the hell is up with spring weather in Iowa.
72 today, thunderstorms and rain Tuesday and Wednesday, then snow Thursday?

I wonder if it'd be feasible to just have Ordnance indicators showing what tier the weapon is. Like, stick to the itty-bitty minimalist icons, but at least that way you could have bks know whether or not it's a Sniper or a Light Explosive weapon, while the players with map awareness would already know which weapon it is.
It's like that here in Northern California except the snow is replaced with huge thunderstorms.
You sure that's not Texas weather?

I hope that sale improves the DLC matching and playlist populations.

I'm sure there'll be a smal spike, but I don't think anything significant tbh.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
So we get Castle today and that ends all of the already announced Halo DLC that we knew was coming. My question is what happens now? They got the maps about pretty quickly and announced 3 DLC before the game launched. Now we have no news of additional maps. We still need more small maps. 4v4 and 2v2 sized maps. Spartan Opps season 2? What direction will they go now? Will we hear something at E3? Thoughts?

We're done. Aside from Playlist support and maybe sandbox balancing if we're lucky, Halo 4 is done.
If the rumours are true and the nextbox isn't backwards compatible and releases this fall, then I don't expect any more DLC for Halo 4. 343i is probably already working on something for next gen.

Doubles settings on Landfall are an April fools joke they forgot to delete right?
Now that Team Objective is a 6v6 playlist, Oddball on Exile is a thing that exists. You can now play Adrift, Abandon, and Solace with 12 players in what is supposed to be a semi-competitive playlist. They also put Settler, which is just downright awful, in there.
Why?
Castle turned out better than I expected, I'll say that much. I haven't played Outcast but the other two don't play as large as they look. 4v4 seemed fine.

Halo, it's finished.
