Forgot about the forge playlist. Might have to sneak out of work early.
Team Snipers in the playlist. Darn it.

I hope this is a troll because I don't want to live in a world where people think like this.
I'd like to rage at this person directly. At least descoping was a very predictable annoyance that you could easily correct.
I dunno, that DeltaWolf1000 seems like a pretty cool guy in this video he made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdEXderFKEw
Holy fucking shit bricks. Seriously?

Much worse than that, SWAT appears almost every round and was in the first slot for much of those. Swat is basically an insta quit for me, so tiresome how it's pervading multiple playlists when it already has its own.
Also, epiphany from earlier in the day: the only place to find a no sprint gametype in Halo 4 is in Action Sack (Lightning Flag). No sprint is now wacky party stuff. Meanwhile, Infinity Slayer is still the premier, default gametype.
Lightning Flag is great for the LightRifle challenge. But SWAT is meh. It has its own playlist, and shouldn't be in this one. Got my fill of that host based crap in H3.

I feel Frankie coming. SWAT is his babby.
Also, for the record, I hate both flinch and de-scoping. Someone find me a better solution.

I honestly want to know what makes him think random flinch is better than consistent descoping. Is it because newer=better?
Flinch is one of the worst things to happen in Halo with Halo 4. It's even worse when you consider that 343 gives certain players a perk that gives you a sever advantage by making you flinch a lot less than another player. Unbalanced much? Though to be fair, can't expect much from a company who thought a starting pistol that is more powerful than a shotgun would be a good choice for a starting pistol. :/

:lol Well that just about tops anything else I could have seen today.
Leave no man standing.
Why? When descoping works pretty good, why spend time and resources on another solution that may end up even worse? Hate for flinch is near universal, not so much for descoping.
I'm starting to wonder just how many people even enjoyed the previous games at all, especially since core features are so casually dismissed.

Because getting descoped in a DMR battle is dumb. For snipers descoping works fine. My rage comes out when in a long range DMR battle where we both just alternate descoping each other until someone dies. (Reach).

The end of a era. HaloGAF is a serious OT again. What happened to us, guys?
It is enjoyable. Get a party ready and you should be okay.

Well... 343 takes these YouTube comments more seriously than the hardcore Halo fanbase, as Halo 4 showed us...
No but I bought a giant hammer to smash it around because I'm pretty sure that stupid presentation is going to piss me off.

I'm at work, waiting for this shitty internet to load his zombie film. I'm pretty sure he's going to be the next Spielberg.
Well I read it. I'm not nobody, dammit.
That's a consequence of putting a long range 3x scope weapon in the game and thinking it'll work great.
Reason it wasn't so noticeable before Reach was because you weren't pinged every second cross map, especially by guys nowhere close to you while you're trying to fight someone else.
Sorry if I acted a bit cranky. I was just reading some posts and complaints on numerous forums, Bungie, GameFAQs, Waypoint etc. They tried to reinvent the wheel with this game and nearly every single aspect they brought is hated. Instant respawn, join in progress, kill cams, loadouts, etc. All this time spent on features that they are retroactively removing, and forced to add features that existed before but we're removed.
But serious question, how many people actually demanded descoping to go away? Did you honestly think not having descoping at all was a better solution? It's the only thing that prevents you from just sitting in a corner scoped the whole match.
And having each persons aim bounce around the screen when they get hit until one of them dies is a much better solution?

This is kinda awesome. 343 should add something like Invasion into custom games if it doesn't break stuff. And, you know, classic CTF options and 1-flag, etc.
I don't even know which first map you're talking about. Crucifix? I can't recall doing any of those things to get a sniper.

Had no idea there would be a Forge Island playlist. Nice.
Is this going to be one of those moments where someone forgot to set something to spawn at start?
Not that I recall. On Crucifix there's an item that doesn't spawn initially but after. Rockets also only spawn on initial I believe. Those are by design.

I don't know, it's only an hour long, and likely less game focused than Sony's. So maybe a small bag of chips & some water folks. Save the sugar for E3.

Good job on the OP, Oddone.
Guess I'm here for the Xbox reveal tomorrow, and something tells me I should stick around give the game another go with the weapons re-balance.

Did you read my other post? I don't like either solution. Make the sniper descope, turn everything off on the DMR/BR.
I did, pre edit.
Red flash like Goldeneye?
this is beautiful

Feels bad, man.
Wish I could play Halo more, I've just been super busy with travel and personal projects lately, not to mention DBO. I try not to post here unless I have something constructive to say and it's hard to do that when I spend so little time actually playing games. Weapon rebalance sounds neat.
Fingers crossed for Halo news tomorrow, though I'd gladly settle for something at E3.
Are you using the FUD IRC for the reveal?

It will be available for anyone to use it.
Going by the past events, it should be a laugh.I second. Quickcsr is essential.
