Yo.
Halo 1 has 4 players on one Xbox and it runs flawlessly.
Halo 4 has 1 player on one Xbox and Wreckage has frame rate issues.
Halo 4 has 2 players on one Xbox on any map and has frame rate issues.

Lasky's in a new TV show on NBC. Pilot is on right now. He's a camp counselor at a summer camp for kids.
Seems like a goofy show so far.

Yeah, I hate this trend. At least make the games run well in two player splitscreen.
Well he's speaking from a pro player perspective. He wants things that are player controlled. So with just shoot, grenade, melee as the core tenets of combat, how the match plays out is up to the player.
I don't know what you mean obsolete gameplay. It's obvious armor abilities and perks have fucked the gameplay up. How much of a fan were you of Halo CE, 2 or 3?
What I mean is, I don't get why you would go play Battlefield if Halo returned to focusing on its three pillar approach to combat?

My brothersssss Halo 4 is back since there will be a new DLC on August which essentially has some other stuff on it but the most important thing I am excited about would be that their returning The Pit from Halo 3 and that map is a game changer. People have been complaining that what makes a good multiplayer game good is the maps.
Well now you have it and its your time to shine. Who's with me!!!!

10/10 post for sure.

Nope. That's a 9.8/10 if I ever saw one.
Edit: While I'm being a snarky piece of shit, I'd like to ask anyone at 343 when Microsoft is going to let them focus on making the franchise an example of quality entertainment rather than a platform for selling ads and/or phones.
Not anytime soon. Especially with the upcoming Halo television series. Get ready to be bombarded with Sarah Palmer at every turn.
I predict because of their 'dedicated servers' for Halo 5, we'll get a game that is always online too. No playing offline. They'll need the cloud to power the game. Microtransactions like crazy, more paywalling, probably more perks/gun/skins/armor tied to whoever can buy the most junk food or ancillary things.
Corporate at MS is so dense, they're releasing Spartan Assault to completely fail and bomb on Windows 8 before the inevitable XBLA release.
I can honestly see why Bungie said independence was the best thing they ever did.

A significant number of next gen games at E3 required online to play, including Bungie's.
The number of games you'll be able to play offline is only going to diminish over time.
Yeah but I figured Destiny had a reason with all its online focus and drop in, drop out campaign/public events. Don't really see a reason why Halo 5 would need to be online only.
They kind of started it, requiring gold for Spartan Ops, but imagine if campaign and even just regular split screen required you to be online.
Game will have 2 modes.
Online - your AI partners fire their guns and drive around.
Offline - your AI partners all drive like Kat and you die a lot.

Nice sentiment and welcome, it's nice to hear from others that like to actually play Halo 4. I agree quality maps are a large chunk of what makes or breaks the fun or competition elements of the experience.
It will be very interesting to compare the sandbox, movement, gunplay, variants and playlists of 3 vs. Halo 4 on The Pit. I am especially interested to experience how CTF or ricochet (4) vs. assault (3) plays on this map and game version.

I think Cro-Magnon Zar is here to take Futurama Zar back to the past. Or something.

I could strafe someone's reticule off my hitbox in halo 3. In halo 4 there is so much magnetism that it feels like CoD in which whoever lands the first shot, wins.

Hopefully the Pit remake has a forge variant that closes off the new "features" - like they did with the CEA maps.

In the RTX panel they said it can be forged to its original state.

Pacific Rim. HNNNNNG so enjoyable.
good.
Ahhhh the default should be classic and this new garbage should be in some terrible playlist no one plays.

I don't know if all the boxes they added can be removed but I'm sure it can be.
Boxes actually make the map play better. I'm not sold on the sword area additions. But it doesn't really matter as there's no camo powerup below...
Think you mean OS there partner.
this post makes me sad

To a certain degree..
I feel like MS is screwed with the Halo license because Halo is so important to the company (from a $$$ perspective)
Games that complement the main line work (ODST best example)
I just wonder if they will ever want to make a Halo game with a heavy MP component that isnt in the main line
Halo could easily be themed into
Whatever reasons be, I hope in the next gen, Halo as a brand, and 343 find great partners to bring new genres into Halo Universe, because I gotta admit, Id play just about any Halo: (Insert Popular Game Here)

- FTP Shooter
- Third Person Squad Shooter
- FPS RPG
- Halo Wars 2

I feel like Sony is lucky, they can have all the FTP shooters on Playstation they want, because they dont have a "Halo" to sell from first party

Thats very true, Im not suggesting they can resurrect Halo with a buncha Spartan Assaults and ODST's.
Im just not even sure that "Halo" as it has been, can survive anymore
They need a shakeup to the formula, if they release "Halo 5" and its the same as Halo 1-4
It will never succeed like it once did
as much as I wish it could
Wrong. What's the one reason Halo 4 isn't played much like Reach before it? The fans don't like it. Fuck everyone else. You make the fans happy first.
People always say Call of Duty doesn't change, Call of Duty is stale, it's the same shit over and over. And yet that's what their fans want. And it sells like hotcakes.
If they release Halo 5 and it plays like CE/2/possibly 3, then you've made a lot of fans happy, they in turn will play for longer than a few months, they'll make videos again, montages, they'll play it on pro circuits, they'll play with their friends etc.
Close to 12+ million played Halo 4, probably more than 7 million copies of the game were sold and yet less than 25 thousand play the game regularly still. It's behind three shooters, two of which are nearly 2 years old. This is the main Xbox game, the game that sold consoles like crazy and it's an almost ran on a console it created.

25k players? Isn't that just peak though? I'd wager a lot more play it than that. (obviously not relevant to your argument. Just saiyan)
But I do honestly think that while going back to that core gameplay will be great for the fans, it isn't going to sell in the mainstream audience. Just look at how many people criticised Halo 4 for staying the same and playing it safe - obviously to us that's like "wut", but it happened. The franchise needs a huge shakeup. Stop trying to mix the old with the new and in turn giving us a terrible hybrid that excels at nothing.
