Curious to see what it will be, GameInformer has completed now.

Will it upset Kyle?
And will he then upset SensitiveGAF?
Well when you put it like that... That's still $10k. That'd be cool, but that's still revenue they'd want. :/
:/
Not that either of you care, but I like you both, I just think you are both unnecessarily harsh. I wouldn't want you guys to stop posting, but I'm curious as to why you still stick around if you hate Reach, hate what 343 is doing, hate art and skyboxes, and seem to hate nearly everyone in HaloGAF. Is it just a tough guy front or something? <3

Everyone in here loves Halo, probably more than any other franchise. If they don't voice their opinions here, where else would they do it? Not every one in here has to be 100% hunky dory with the changes thus far.
Most of the people who do lay out complaints have very valid criticisms, but people always focus on the jokes or the harshness of the post. It's the internet, quit taking it so seriously, and laugh at it. Eazy was never serious in his posts, even the thing that got him banned wasn't meant to be vile, it's just his sense of humor, I realize that not everyone can take it in stride, but I wish they could!

Stupid/conversation-provoking idea: What if only the first half of halo 4's campaign was on the disc, and a patch came out globally on "official" day one for all standard-edition copies (legendary/mythic/full-scale model of cortana's ass made by tempur pedic editions not included) free of charge as a way of preventing campaign leaks?

Sounds great for the people who don't plug their 360s online.
Sure, but at what point does it stop being a joke? Internet is real life too yo. Jokes are fun, but unnecessary harshness and bitterness ALL the time gets old man. I'm not offended, I just wonder why is all. I get the tie to Halo, but many hate Reach and are planning on hating Halo 4. Seems like a pretty negative way to be. Negativity up towards 4, during 4, and after. Just weird is all.

That's a really drastic solution to a pretty negligible problem. I, for one, would be real pissed. I always buy standard editions.

I detest reach, but I keep playing it because their is nothing better (with a decent population and a good encode).
I like most people here, and Halo 4 is still not
confirmed to be terrible despite 343's best efforts in making it seem that way, so I'll be sticking around at least until both those things change.
I don't see how having doubts about what has been revealed for 4 so far is "planning" to hate it. They're only going off the info that has been provided thus far, and to be fair, it is sounding like an even bigger departure than Reach.

Hahahahahaha hence the stupid thought warning beforehand. I was just trying to think of some interesting/practical way to handle it. It was at its worst in Halo 3; you'd literally have people making live accounts named after late-game events to fuck people over.
I said most people and not all people for a reason

No offense, but why do you find invasion fun? It was poorly implented in reach. Had so much potential (like reach) but imo failed miserably.

GG earlier btw
<3 and <3
I was just trolling Over. I hate Invasion. :lol
damnit.
Because slayer is the gametype, so let's build an objective mode around that.
I like it because of the concentrated battles and skirmish is a blast.

I was thinking about Halo 4 earlier, and I think the only thing holding me out so far is that it's 343, so they still haven't squandered my good will. Lemme just say if this was a Bungie joint, and they were announcing things verbatim to how it has been so far, I would've been done with Halo.
For now though I can't really say as much until November!

Exactly. Compared to Halo 2 and 3, Reach isn't very good. Because it takes away all of the stuff that made those great. As it's own game though, it's very good. I think if Bungie had said from the beginning this is a very different experience people would have accepted it better. Instead they made comments like "this is the definitive Halo game," when everyone knows it isn't. I hated Reach the first few months it was out, but after realizing it's a totally different beast, I was able to enjoy it a lot more.

Reach is bad because it's fucking terrible. It's also a dreadful Halo game.
Nothing says bad decisions like picking the guy whose last game he worked on sold 5 copies to go and design your game. Then he shoehorns those same elements into Reach.
What about finding the matchmaking guy who took 8 weeks to remove a fusion coil from Valhalla and picking him up for your dev team?
To be fair Shadowrun is a incredible game besides it minimal sales.
Best Shooter on Xbox speaking strictly gameplay wise.
One dev team wtf moment I remember is how there was a playlist manager who, going from his gamertag, hardly played Reach at all.
If you're going to manage playlists, it should be mandatory you play the damn game.
At least Valhalla was good. Reach blows

I'd assume he played it... you know... at work...

I played the Shadowrun demo like crazy. It was really fun, but when it came out I was like a sophomore and straight broke. I bought it 2 years later but it took forever to find a match so I never got into it like I should have. Too bad that dev team is gone. Shadowrun 2 with post launch support would have been great.
For certain objective gametypes it would make an area that appears to be in legal playspace suddenly take your objective away, or you could reset objectives by tossing them into it. IE in Stockpile you could just take the flags for the upper team and toss them up there 3 feet away and reset them far away from the cap point.
It'd be like playing locked side spawns on Refuge.
Not on his gamertag apparently.

I forgot the fusion coils were even added.
