As long as they don't hide your fine, but reflection shows how remakes just don't work with AA's in the sandbox at all.
I use halotracker for stats and avoid waypoint altogether.

Robbert, look at this:
GEVECHT MET GROTE TEAMS, TEAMSLACHTER AND CAPTURE THE FLAG.
Halo is dad.
Haha, my brother pointed this out to me last week. Halo gametypes in Dutch sound absolutely ridiculous. Also laughing really hard at ''Knokpartij'' and ''Team Actie'' :lol
And I still have to look properly at the medal page. A splatter translated to Dutch is ''vermorzelaar'' looool
I just have too wonder who had to come up with those translations. Would that person realize how ridiculous those names sounds?

I'd like if 343 does more sneak peeks of their halo projects they're working on.
Please franks, how many more sleeps

Make it muh beard.
That's alright, I'll look up some custom gametypes and MLG/whatever Slayer and see if anyone wants to play in like 10-30 minutes.

I miss it so much. Reach had some major downsides, but at least there was enough of a community around it to get games going regularly. Things fell apart bad after Halo 4. Crossing all my appendages for a revival with Halo 5.

Didn't Neill Blomkamp say in a interview if he made a Halo movie he would want to change a lot of things to his vision?
edit: Found it.

"The first thing is the fans expect something, and the fans deserve something. If a fan has being playing Halo for 10 years, they deserve that version of Halo. Whatever that idea of it is that they have in their mind, they deserve that, and I’m not sure I can provide it. I can provide my version of Halo, which would be a grittier, more messed up version. There were parts of Halo that were hard for me to wrap my head around, when I was trying to develop the film."

That would be cool
But isn't it because Reach started that decline and Halo 4 solidified it? Reach was my least played Halo game until Halo 4. There was tons of frustration, I didn't even buy the Defiant DLC and pretty much stopped playing after Bungie day 2011 etc. And I think the reason I abandoned Halo 4 so quick is because I couldn't stand another Reach.

Reach was fine for the most part, since it was a spin off i dont give it as much crap like some do. If it was a master chief numbered game then i can understand. It was bungies final Halo game and they wanted to see if they can try some different things. The thing is at least Reach still felt like Halo, sprint was at least not default,pick ups and you can just feel that certain Halo look and feel when playing it. For Halo 4 they basically said lets change every single things just to call it their own like they mentioned before.

Yes yes it would. I always wanted to see what he could have done with halo. I still think his take on Halo would have been awesome as hell.

David ellis in not so many words compared New coke to Halo 4 on twitter.
So for those of you that downloaded the sheet, these are the different tabs at the bottom and here's what each of them mean.
3-31-2012 GAF Member stats: full stats on each player; includes weapon kills, weapon deaths, k/d ratio and spread for weapons, total playtime, rank, medals, and a few other calculated statistics
Basic weapon data: What I used for the graph at the top
Per game data: On average, how often something would occur during any given game.
Weapon data on left side: You can order weapons numbers faster
Retention rates: rates for basic sprees and multikills
Rank reference: VLOOKUP table for the credit calculation
That's just looking at the successes from one level to the next. There's a formula(sadly, I didn't include it on the retention rates tab) that shows where most multikills end. But all you have to do is subtract that percentage from 100% and that's where they'll end.
There's also another formula that you can do to show that about 82% of kills never make it to a multikill. That formula is a bit more work, since you have to calculate where each multikill left off. Then multiply that final number by their respective multikill level and finally subtract it from the total kills.
EDIT: I'm getting on Reach right now.

That helmet is pretty cool, I mean, you'll never catch me playing with legos or whatever they are, but I like the Halo 4 MK VI redesign a lot, so it's cool I guess.
It's a sign, literally. A sign from 2004.
If they made a remake of Halo 2 w/ untouched multiplayer, i would be perfectly fine playing that until Halo 5 comes out next year.
My thoughts exactly.

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw this tweet mini-thread:
even though you denied it David, it totally fits.They're fucking teases.
Guys, what if, just for the sake of argument, 343 actually goes back to classic Halo?
I'd almost literally die of joy. And yep. Teases for sure, now we just need some info teasing soon!

I meant in the large scale, will the audience that Halo used to have come back, or is it lost forever?

Didn't know he was from 343, that is nice to hear. Was he involved with H4 or was he at blizzard at the time?

Blizz, only got hired about a half year by 343 actually so really had nothing at all to do with H4, this drives the hype train for a good competitive ranking system in the next Halo.
Awesome post, thanks for the info, going to watch that tonight while I pack back up for the semester starting Monday.
Yes, guy behind the ranking system at Blizzard, If you have time it's worth watching this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4TjH2SdDOQ
He's really nice too, and responds to a lot of people on twitter. Great hire by 343i.
He's been doing a lot of the recent Top 200 and CSR changes for Halo 4 since brought on.

I was thinking of asking this the other day, but if Halo 5 ends up being better than Halo CE... would people admit it?

Guys, I have a crazy theory.
What if MS brought in Titanfall for the XBO to draw away the kids who like the sci-fi shooter experience, but like the CoD style of play, and they gave 343 the go ahead to go full classic Halo for the Xbox One title?

lol
Even if the game looks insane in previews, I'm waiting until a bit after release to make a decision. But yeah, I'd probably fold.
Why wouldn't people? I don't think anyone wants Halo 5 to suck.

Good games with Orichinaganaiasiz, Daedalius, Exwife, and Ragnarok Flames.
I can't believe people still get wrecked by the explosive barrels on Pitfall after all these years...

No one wants Halo 5 to suck, but would those people who go to lengths to defend Halo CE and that have to PROVE that it is the best ever admit that Halo 5 is better than Halo CE? Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and the sour taste from Halo 4 and Reach still linger. People will find something to nitpick, you know what I mean?
Either way, I just hope it is better than at least Halo 3, Reach, and 4. I want to be able to put tons of hours into it. I haven't had a game that I can do that with since... Minecraft.

I just saw a fanmade menu on the subreddit /r/Halo and I must say, I hope they go back to the old style of the lobby and menu, the tiles and such were pretty clunky IMO.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Yes sir, while doing my own remakes I created a network of forgers during Reach and we started a Remake collection group on b.net, I would often browse forgehub to find new map makers, ask to "bring them into the group" so I could help them polish their maps (sometimes rebuild completely..) and help them get some larger exposure, 'twas fun times.
Same, what were/are you in Blueprint for? A standard member or an assigned position?
I'm not sure what my imaginary internet Blueprint title is, but I believe its "Classic Team Lead"
