If there is more that two people you can't play?

Both. Party system is awful, but I can still play Killer Instinct with more than 2 people in my party.
Blame Vanguard Games lol
Deej is answering questions in a thread on B.net. I found this part interesting...
Specifically that last part. Am I reading to much into this, or is that a hint at cross-platform play? You do sign into the game with your Bungie account, after all, and that can be linked to Xbox Live and/or PSN...
Reading too much into it. They've purposely avoided any mention of what EXACTLY will be exclusive content etc. They realize that Activision has a deal with Sony, but that their most hardcore and loyal fans have been Xbox users through the Halo years. Probably doesn't want to pick sides or create a console war type thing.
Pretty much nailed it. The fragging scoreboard does give us some good factual data but it isn't the be-all and end-all of discussion. Facts often need context, and thankfully you just gave us some.

It is damn cold. My dog is one of those dogs that likes to take huge walks, so I am getting ready to head back out there for far too long.
Yeah, I liked the way it played.. though TBH I don't believe I played on it too many times.
As for the Dino, I could only hope to be so lucky.

Must happen often while help trying to run a big game franchise and also did you get my pm?

Murder Miners is great. Right now I'm playing on crappy parkour map, and earlier I was playing on a crappy Rainbow Road map.
It's everything Halo should be.

I can't stand to play it on random maps, I usually make my own lobbies and play on the halo map remakes. I usually get a good sized lobby going this way. It's such a fun game. It feels more like Halo than Reach/4 ever did.

Also, look at this genius idea in Spartan Assault
Do I blame 343, or Microsoft for this idea?
Gotta love that persistent border. I assume nobody at Vanguard owns a plasma TV.

This has been posted before, but it's worth reposting over and over. It's so damn to the point. Them copying the Forge World reveal was genius because it brought up memories of how absurdly excited I was with that vidoc. Contrast that excitement with the Halo 4 Forge reveal and eventual launch implementation, and yeah, it makes 343 look like amateurs.
[insert obligatory "hope they figure that out for Halo 5" statement here]

Aside from the weird snow effect at the end, that's a fantastic montage. Great editing and music, and of course the jumps.
I really hope the get rid of the "return to battlefield" crap. I loved glitching out of maps and exploring them. No more secret rooms... No more clipping out of campaign levelsit's all just blocked off by invisible barriers.
You can get out of 100% of all campaign levels in Halo;Reach just fine with the killzones. Halo 4 you can get "out" of every level too. Halo 4 though, isn't like past Halo games and you usually just fall through the level and die.
Then if we look at Multiplayer maps, Halo 3 was different compared to Halo:Reach and Halo 4. In Halo 3, the maps were surrounded by instant kill barriers, not 10 seconds. However, in many Halo 3 maps, it wasn't just right at the nick on the invisible barriers, and you could sometimes go out quite a distance, most times you couldn't though. Then if you look at Halo 4 and its new level or whatever system, most maps outside the level are unsolid, and you fall right through them. Hell, some levels have unsolid ground and scenery already, where you can just walk right through the level.
I agree that they should honestly quit going to crazy with death barriers everywhere. Areas like on the flat land near the cliff on Standoff in Halo 3, or outside the gate on The Pit in Halo 3 were really fun. Their is no need to put 10 second barriers everywhere you go, it just takes out alot of exploration. Add invisible barriers, those are completely fine, they can be broken in Forge, but quit with the 10 second barriers. I get why they add them, but they just go overboard on them.
I also just believe Halo 3 has a magic to it, which made tricking so much fun on it, atleast I haven't been able to pin point it exactly.

Was thinking if a Halo RTS & Spartan Assault hybrid would sound interesting but in reality putting them together seems pointless..
Yeah the only way to enjoy it on a skill based level is playing in the league a few people made, thanks to no matchmaking support for XBLIG its always a mess of customs unless you group up with people and set the rules.
Thankfully the Steam version will have Matchmaking.

Obviously DeeJ is confirming Destiny for Wii U.
So halo wars with a Spartan assault style game play? It would be a weird thing to do maybe have them as like mini missions with the game?
I would have said fantastic because i did well in it, but i was spawnkilling some people on hog spawn from garage at one point
Have to take in both sides of the match.

Greande Launcher top ten for the bored and nostalgic

Sort of makes me want to play Reach.
Those medals are beautiful. If they don't return to that style and instead maintain the white text/half second flash of their own sticker book designs I will consider it a desecration and confirmation that they all hate Halo. Every one of them.

They must have read the IGN review.
Yeah I just had a stroke reading that
I thought these people were making fun?
DmC is like babbys first devil may cry.
Super generic.
When you had all the power weapon spree's and medals for reach pre-recorded why get rid of them? All you needed to do is record some more instead of scrapping the whole lot.
As for that surpassing previous developement's thing look at this:
I'm upset now

I would love to see how many multiplayer matches the people in that thread played. Im willing to bet Halo 4 is getting a lot of love because it basically moved away from what made Halo fun and a bunch of people who disliked Halo in the past now finally enjoy Halo. I doubt they played many multiplayer matches though lol.

I like how halogaf just descend's on the thread, it's like they know halo 4 is going to get mentioned by the title. (i'm also avoiding it as well):
Lol at Juices posts in the thread.

To the contrary, I'd never dreamed of it being mentioned. That's sort of why it's a big deal.
ModBot shut it down. That thread was quickly heading toward a massacre of gamers with a passing interest in Halo by diehard Halo fans.

You know. I have to say. After a long time of not having played Halo 4 I've played it again and while it clearly has some issues I find myself having a lot of fun with it. It really has grown on me. Sure I'd prefer no drops and to have everything on the map but I can deal with that. The gun play underneath all of the crap is damn satisfying still.
Campaign wise I liken it a bit to Halo 2. I can see what they've attempted and it has potential but it's still fun in spite it's flaws. I think with some Promethean changes like getting rid of the watchers and making them actually behave similar to elites you could have a fun enemy to fight. Also I honestly like Laskey and Thorn, and the AI of the Infinity. I also kind of find Palmer growing on me. Sure the dialog needs serious work but if you look at it as she's a by the book do what I'm told kind of soldier she's alright. I think they actually could eventually turn her into an interesting character if they can just make her evolve and learn from Chief that following orders is not always the right thing.
It's weird I know. I know most are going to disagree but you know. That's the beauty of it. People can. Either way I'm actually interested to see where 343 goes from here. I really need to get a group together to do Spartan Ops on Legendary one of these days.
