Halo |OT18| We're Back Baby!

Same, I never get low frames.
FR? Vortex - every time. I spawn in the back corner and watch a banshee blip by quite regularly. Skybox elements are brutal - you might not notice if you're focusing on infantry, but trying to put shots on anything above your levelled-sights FoV is problematic on several maps, under the right conditions. It's not as drastic as Reach, but it's still frustrating.
Happened fairly frequently for me in Exile. The center capture point in Dominion would get weapon drops and turrets going off, it gets all crazy and awful.
Forge World was the issue in Reach; so 343 goes off and releases loads of FW maps in MM.

Stopped watching Simpsons years ago. Was this part of a treehouse of horrors or something?Nuoh my god I just accidentally saw this episode
Doez dis mean Halo is still cool?
It was known through testing maps that not all 360s drop frames in the same places. My own Xbox would drop frames looking a certain way in an empty Asylum, my brother's Xbox didn't. My Xbox never hitched when Cragmire had the scorpions on it, some people had 5fps games. etc etc. Also, different people have different sensitivity to framrate
Consoles!
They're still charging full price for H3's last DLC and all of Reach's DLC, I expect any Halo 4 DLC getting reduced to be around the time Hell needs to install space heaters

Yeah, don't know which one though. I'm going to make a poster out of this and put it on the wall!

Why is it that whenever someone slrps in these threads its always from new posters who never post here?
wut
Why is it that every positive criticism at this point counts as slurping?
So far.... no.

It's been like that since before launch, you just learn to live with it.
What? That's ridiculous. I'm sure Activision will get it on PC by the end of 2014 though.

Team Regicide is better. Regichet (if possible) would be nuts.
Pitfall + Ricochet is fun, Vertigo is decent.

This. This might be the best map pack.

Eh still prefer Majestic, but Vertigo is really growing on me. It's excellent for two-site Extraction and the breakers or whatever they're called walk the fine line between being gimmicky/useless and overpowered/overused.
I would definitely like it back too. Ricochet and the (now-fixed) Dominion are excellent additions.

I have no idea what that means... slurping? Does that mean sucking up or something?
Is it wrong to enjoy Halo 4 in this thread? I've posted here a couple of times (generally when a new dlc pack comes out) but it really feels like most people don't like it based on the discussions i've seen. Is that still the case? I thought they released that balancing patch that addressed a few concerns (Hate how they messed with some of the playlists though).
Don't mind him. He's grumpy because he's currently unemployed and playing Diablo all day.
i'd be mad too if all i played was diablo! awful game
Maybe you should consider doing something else?
Just a thought.
He must be, since frame lag is like, a nightly occurrence; especially on some maps.
I get a lot of frame drops on Dispatch especially.
this is a great example!!!!
I'M SO MAD RIGHT NOW

I quite enjoy playing the pit with a BR - halo 4 has come a long way and it doesn't suck as much as it used to.
Compared to a real halo game though its still not a great game.
Be Zen my brotha.

So if I cancel my X1 preorder tomorrow at GameStop, they'll return the money I have already paid toward it to my debit card, right?
Can't afford this thing right now. It blows.
I'm thinking I'll just buy it whenever TitanFall comes out. I should be good by then.

Crossposting from Halo 4 OT. like / comment / subscribe!!!
It's that time of the month again! Tried working out a new playlisting based on what we know. Couple of things:
-Unless otherwise specified, gametypes are normalized to feature "Slayer Pro" settings - preset loadouts featuring all ranged precision weapons.
-Slayer Pro now features a 25M to 40M motion tracker across the board.
-Legendary Slayer does not feature a motion tracker.
-Legendary Slayer is modified to feature either BR / AR starts or Magnum / AR starts.
-Playlists are made taking into account three potential voting options.
-Playlists are designed to be an extension of the current ones, which may result in a larger playlist yield than expected.
Gametype listing:
Slayer
Oddball
Capture the Flag
King of the Hill
Dominion
Extraction
Grifball
Ricochet
Regicide
Flood
6-Way FFA. Rumble Pit.
-Option 1: Slayer Pro
-Option 2: Legendary Slayer / Infinity Slayer
-Option 3: King of the Hill / Oddball / Ricochet
6-Way 2v2. Multi Team.

-Option 2: Infinity Slayer / Team SWAT
-Option 3: King of the Hill / Regicide
4v4. Team Slayer. Legendary Slayer / Slayer Pro / Infinity Slayer
Team Tactical. SWAT / Snipers / Shotty Snipers
5v5. Team Objective. Capture the Flag / Infinity CTF / Regicide
Team Control. Oddball / Grifball / Ricochet
8v8. Big Team Slayer. Legendary Slayer / Slayer Pro / Infinity Slayer
Big Team Skirmish. Capture the Flag / Extraction / Lockdown*
Varies. Double EXP.
-Alternates between Flood and Action Sack weekly.
-In the event of new maps, this will temporarily become a Community Cartographers playlist.
Varies. Double EXP DLC.

-Two weeks after the release of new DLC, the playlist will alternate between past DLC playlists on a weekly basis.
Final count: 10 Playlists

SWAT not in its own playlist?
It's had its own playlist since Halo 2, why would it suddenly be consolidated into another? It is consistently one of the Top-3 playlists at almost all times. I can't see that one merged into one with Snipers. Plus snipers blow. Some people play Halo 4 almost exclusively for SWAT. Why ruin it for those guys?

because not all of us want 18 playlists full of shit to sift through. if it's popular enough, put it first in the listing and let the people decide for the gametype itself. we can even add a big "SWAT IS IN HERE GUYS" banner to the playlist thumbnail!

thank you for not quoting it.

I know i'm probably going to light a fire here for asking but what are the qualities of a "real halo game" that this one lacks? I've been playing Halo online since 3
there goes my reputation
Is it because Bungie is no longer at the helm? I don't get this mentality.
This is something you should never assume. You're just going to piss people off. I wish it were that simple.

In CE-3, everyone started out with the same weapons, number of grenades with no advantage other then the map. In Reach and 4, a bunch of stuff was added that makes it impossible to tell what weapon, AA, etc your opponent has, what Ordnance is going to drop, which makes gameplay more random. While it is still fun and perhaps even more fun to some, to many older fans, it just doesn't feel the same as previous games where the better man wins. Now, it's whoever's luckier that wins.

Yeah, I guess. I'm just trying to rationalize it though, it doesn't really make sense.
