All you do is throw some grey pieces around, don't see what's hard. I mean, that is how those other forge maps got into matchmaking.

Edit: This thread is nothing but a melting pot of apathy. We need news within the week!

Agreed with the needing info.

 

[Hydranockz]

For the last 5 pages we've been comparing community involvement, the implementation of things like spectator mode and ranks into Black Ops and not Halo 4, and the things it takes to stream Halo 4 in a tournament/professional/event based setting and why it's such a big deal for Black Ops, even though it's for a niche community.

Frankie has been posting about why there's not a spectator mode in Halo 4 as well, and we've been discussing how spectator modes are possible on console.

Things like keeping us up to date on the development of Halo 4 in a more personal way, like the Halo 3 vidocs, and now Treyarch will be answering specific community questions regarding their new video.

Glad to catch you up and I'm sorry I wasted your time by making you click on a link about Call of Duty.




For example, we still don't know if the "bandwidth" issue is actually bandwidth or just resources. We were never given a straight answer.

Ok, for relevancy's sake, where is the press release that Halo 4 will not have spectator mode?

Do you see how these things differ? It would be the same as asking Treyarch why 2-player splitscreen isn't supported over XBL. One company is clarifying a feature they're releasing. The other isn't in a position to answer the questions about a feature they have no ties to.

If only!

I spent all my building block pieces on making the floor of the map floating in the sky. I put 2 grids together to make a longer map because of that sexy DMR range. When I finally the size of the map I guess I can remove the excess floor pieces and use them elsewhere.

Oh the irony in linking to a post-E3 Q&A session :lol

Yeah 343 really suck at answering our questions, don't they? That community interaction.

I wouldn't classify their weekly bulletin as a 'press release' but that's just me. Also, what you linked to are press releases for the E3 announcements that they were answering questions about. The difference being, the lack of a spectator mode warranted no more than two lines in response, unlike details surrounding the features they announced. There's enerally quite a difference in how any company handles those things. See my question to Treyarch.

Yeah I feel certain things need to be continually pushed otherwise how is 343 going to know there is a need or want for a certain feature?

 

[Tashi]

After speaking to Domino a few times on and off the podcast I don't really question 343's care for the community. However, Frank refuses to pull strings and get my the OG "Tashi" gamertag so he's on my shit list fo lyfe

I'll love them forever if someone at 343 changes my Halo 3 callsign to N64.

Also, I think I got a broken Blackmagic Shuttle. Fuck.

 

[u4iX]

Yeah, because my entire argument this whole time has been "343 doesn't interact with the community rabble rabble rabble!"

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

I think that only counts if you were ever a hero in the first place

ebay usually has pretty good deals, i would recommend checking there. amazon is pretty cheap too i think.

[Steelyuhas]

Havent you said this before? I think you've said this before.

Goddamn your avatar is sexy.

That's not a serious question. Right?

Halo and COD use completely different engines. And if you haven't noticed, it look like shit. They're not too worried about the quality of the game, as long as they can give their fanboys boners.

What in the actual fuck did I just read. Do you seriously think that the developers of a game are not worried about the quality of their game?

I think I've heard it all now.

You could ask them that, and they would tell you that they do support 2-player splitscreen over XBL.


For the record, I don't think u4ix's post was out of line, we've been discussing that topic all day in this thread, and now he gets ripped a new one? (I don't want to be a part of this discussion, just my 2 cents.)

 

[heckfu]

I think the comparisons between the information between the two games is ridiculous. So far Blops2 have given us spectator mode, little tiny quad motors that shoot, and a couple other things.

Halo devs have continually answered questions about armor, weapon unlocks, what weapons are in the game, and a ton of other stuff. Just because Blops have released things that Halo 4 doesn't have doesn't mean that they have in any way released more content in the same light we have asked for, you know?

Where are the blops full games with direct feed? What weapons are in their game? Are there vehicles? Still a million questions about rumors we have heard but no clarification...just patience. Patience is the name of this game.

edit: sorry if there are typos or grammar errors here, i'm in my lab gear and should probably be saving lives or something but felt like weighing in. also, hi everyone.

Who said your entire argument this whole time was that? I think people are reacting to the BlOps 2 dev twitter you posted. *shrug*

I'm just saying how it was relevant, man.

Chill.

We've been talking about getting new information on 343i and if you've been following the thread at all I've made several posts comparing Halo 4 and Black Ops 2 based on the features competitive gamers have been asking for.

Now, Treyarch makes a direct tweet allowing one question to be answered from the video about anything new shown.

Must be nice to have all that bandwidth.

check out ebay, I just looked and there's a lot of low priced auctions, it may take a little work but you can probably get it for lest than 10 dollars.

Tashi, you should post screens of your map.

You could ask them that, and they would tell you that they do support 2-player splitscreen over XBL.

Well shit, they don't do 4 though, right? (You can see the point I was trying to make though, right?)

Do people really think u4ix is getting ripped a new one? I was just disagreeing about the situation both companies are in in terms of what information they are disclosing.

I know what you mean and I agree, but the thing is all these questions all these discussion where Frankie steps in, weren't public, nothing of it will probably reach the casual Halo fan who just wants to see some trailers.

Halo 4 doesn't have a trailer like this for now.

Even friends of mine are asking "Yeah is there something new about Halo 4?" me: " eh -random frankie/ellis post clarification- " Them: "Oh interesting were can I watch this?" Me" it was in a forum post" .. yeah.

I don't really like the CoD trailer, cool features, but nothing like this will get me to play these games again.

That's not what i meant, i meant that is long as they can make fans happy with spending as few resources as possible and make as much money as possible, that's what they will keep doing as long as possible.

Okay guys, I've gone over Frank's recent posts, if you look at all the capitalized letters that aren't supposed to be capitalized, you see a pattern:

OOOOO

Frankie is dead, you guys. He's a ghost.

That's why he hasn't given us a number of sleeps. He doesn't sleep anymore.

Basic Economics, especially with COD, If you've seen how little the games have changed over the years, but with most installments there has been at least one addition that got fans excited about buying it, and that translates into sales.

Pretty sure, from the post before this one, it's technical:


...


You know, "Team Downer" and its variants, along with "343 defender" and its variants get thrown around here so much I think I'm going to need an actual list to know who falls where. It's starting to get confusing.

Yes, please. I'm not Team Slurp, but I'm not Team Downer either. I'm on Team zoojoo


Also, Interesting.

Yep, I might just be going back to bumper jumper as my primary control scheme in Halo 4.

Has Black Ops 2 been playable for the public yet? E3? SDCC? RTX?

Will there be a beta?
