The avatar shirt rewards for the CSR and Spartan Ops challenges are pretty lacking. Who actually wants that? If they're going to offer us avatar stuff that no one cares about, at least let it be a prop or something.
 
Terrible movie, terrible 'comedian', such a shame that Bruce Willis was an asshole to Kevin Smith.

My teammate used the callout 'brown tree' playing Abandon the other day. I couldn't tell if it was satire or not.

^Tapgun stap playing infinity slayer you crazy individual.
I made some random teammates laugh the other day on Complex when I told them that an enemy sniper was hiding in the giant asparagus.

"He is on my head"
dammit, this made the stitches in my mouth hurt.
dental surgery is horrific

Bobs.

He keeps bugging me and Xand about it.

Damn it Bobs.

That is an actual callout I did on Abandon. I was standing between the bases, near the cliffy things not the sky or the cliff that goes down I mean the cliff that goes up with the tunnels off it, well one is a ramp.
 
Honest question:

Does the criticism I'm posting ITT bother anybody? Reading back on it kinda makes me feel like I'm being too negative. I do have that habit of letting emotions leak into text, but I only want to express my honest impressions and opinions.

I guess I just have a feeling that I'm sounding a bit rude, and that isn't my intention. It's hard to convey my frustration through text without sounding like I'm condemning anyone or anything.

Perhaps I'll just divert my attention away from Halo 4.

Didn't read anything that was more rude than the usual tone. Everything is fine



Lol Frankie's callouts are great. I have to remember "on my head" I also tried to think of callouts yesterday on the DLC maps, but I did play all the maps yesterday for the first time.
I wanted to say on the city ODST looking map "where the walls are a little bit darker"

Elzar would that have been helpful?
 
I think I can tell where north ramp, sky, fetus refer to. Andy side and non Andy side is one or the other (open and closed side of Abandon). Asparagus has me stumped. Squidhands wins.

2 more games played. Both 4 on 4. Closeish. Haven was really good as expected. Solace was alright. Our team got 2 incinerator cannon drops in front of us so I had fun, other team got shafted by rando-luck

And now my choices are Abandon, Adrift or Complex

RIP

I hope you mean custom games.

I mean giving players more tools, generally. Everyone thinks their favorite mode is the right mode. So rather than argue or fight with stats or populism, give players the tools to create those specific experiences and the ability to connect them.

He means he wants to juggle flags.

Anyone played Oddball in multi-team? "The enemy has dropped the ball" ad nauseum. Much worse than flag juggling announcer.

Multi-team needs one less team. They should kind of take the hint when they're having to resort to 'lime' as a team colour.

Custom game browser for Halo 5 confirmed.

Options are good, but it comes down to which of those experiences is the 'premier' one that is emphasized in matchmaking. There were at least 4 different settings to play Reach with online, and that only caused confusion and inconsistency.

Would kill for this.

And I'm not just saying this. I mean I would literally end people's whole lives. Like, it would get weird around here knowing what was Homeboyd was doing to ppl.

But still do it anyways.

So, like letting players use Megalo and make custom maps?
 
Adrift is good. Nothing special, but playable. Complex however? Well I welcome that map to the same category as Isolation and Swordbase.

NeoGAF's smiling token!
Adrift is terrible, a bunch of narrow paths leading to open spaces which always result in pre-emptive nades or ambush.

Complex is for one playlist only and that is Action Sack.

This is very refreshing to read.

Guess we are at that stage where its no longer all marketing and the devs can be completely honest about their product.

I would love to see some post mortem analysis by the designers on the campaign. I really enjoyed it but felt the Prometheans were really lacking.
 
Yes Stinkles! Halo is a platform. Dem tools.

The tools are like 70% there. The connecting part is like 20% there. Custom Lobby needs a re-imagining (browser type stuff).

Play more SWAT. It's the best SWAT map for switching rifles. BR for indoors, DMR for outdoors. Is nice. I like.

Random question but has anyone here switched back to normal aiming from years of being Inverted and started doing A LOT better in shooter games?

I have noticed a significant improvement in my ability to kill people now.
 
I said it was at most playable in the sentence afterwords. That image was propaganda for Bugs!

it made me lol, but I'm actually in the middle. Like I said earlier, I feel like Adrift would also play better with different power weapons and Halo 3 settings. It wouldn't be good by any means, but it'll at least be a decent obj map or something.

Room maps with closed centers don't normally work.
