Autosentry dies when you do. MTW said kill times are fast but it's boring to use; I'm guessing it's offset by really stupid AI. Think Halo 3's campaign auto-turrets.
H2PC has a pathetic population and horrible custom servers.
Custom games servers with sword secondaries, plasma guns that shoot rockets, tanks and banshees on a 10s respawn, etc. ITS SO GREAT!
Oh that was spectator mode?
I thought that was just some guy doing a voiceover.
Dammit.
Hold the phone, what did Plywood do?
Goodnight, sweet prince.
HHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG......
Many good times playing that game. I miss playing it.

Do you know me? I had about 20 posts in the Halo 3 OT.
Kind of funny story: I always thought OuterWorldVoice were Frankie imitator until the Halo: Reach topics. Good times lurking were back then.
I think that sucks balls too. I don't know why paying consumers settle for shit that could be way better. Activision has about 15 studios dedicated to Call of Duty and makes a billion dollars each time they release a game. The COD community should be demanding a map editor.
Man, I wish 4 had a custom browser.
Kyle, I understand why you guys are mad about spectator mode. For me personally though, I have no interest in watching 99.9% of people. It would be cool for GAF matches, but on the whole I wouldn't really use it. I'm also not convinced dedis would cure everything either, L4D used dedis and its one of the worst experiences on Live half the time, heh.

Plywood down! 
Ah well, let's keep this Halo thing going.

FTP: Blacklight Retribution, tons of options and customization, really fun
Think Battlefield-esque Kill Times, etc
FTP: Tribes Ascend, obviously much different FPS than you might be used to but I like it
There are fun roles to play, so you can always find a niche and contribute
Full Games: BF3, Crysis 2, idk?
Not to get anyones hopes up.
But... we haven't heard anything about theater mode yet. While we know we're not getting a spectator mode... whose to say Theater isn't going to get some neat improvements? Ideally a basic clip editor and render to youtube option. No other CONSOLE game supports machinima like Halo does.
Vidoc plsssss

Then it still has literally no drawback.

BO2 rumored to have dedis/spectator mode/livestreaming built in... If you didn't catch on.

Oh sh-
Plywood dropped.
Halo news didn't drop, but CoD news did. People got mad that CoD was getting features they felt Halo should have.
Halo news soon though.
There is always Counter-Strike, along with all the other options people have mentioned.

Would LOVE some kind of youtube option. I like seeing HaloGaf's clips, and sharing some of my own. Would be nice if Halo 4 could auto-upload clips to my personal channel.

Here's the thing about that spectator mode bit: it didn't really do anything for me that someone who put some money into a decent streaming rig and a microphone doesn't already do.
I'll say it again: just get the gameplay and playlist management right. If you do, you should end up with a positive community that will put in the extra effort to stream and cast.
Edit:
Plywood banned... dark times indeed.
Pretty sure MTW said that it stays in one place and shoots targets in front of it.
The problem with things MTW says is that they are said by MTW.
How generous.
What the fuck?

Probably just boring in the fact that it's fire and forget. Also, it seems kill times in general are fast.
L4D was a combination of both. But when it was on Dedis it was much better experience.
GOW3 is also on dedis, and the only thing it really "solves" is host advantage, which is what most people want them for in Halo I would assume. Although Gears is a much bigger offender when it comes to that.
Should have bought that Valve pack during the summer steam sale.
No way should Plywood have gotten merked for the last page.
Halo news without Plywood gifs? Dark days.
lol at "anyone can be banned," though.

It sounds silly but Halo Reach really killed Theatre for me, I know the consequences of having party-viewing and they couldnt pull it off, but that really just was a delicious icing on the cake.
As much as someone people deny it, Halo is a socially competitive game.
Forge and Theater are as much of Halo as the AR / BR.
I maybe shared 4 clips with my friends over the past few years, in Halo 3 every weekend we would hop into theatre and reliive our shenanigans from the week that was, somehow by making file sharing options better, they almost made it suck more by not having party view

Get more friends.
Also, Ram with post of the day? Could be.
Spectator mode would definitely be niche and go largely unused...but it would be nice. I'm going to be commentating the GAF tourney finals and I know it's going to be such a daunting task.

Uncharted 2 had a fairly robust theater mode. It had
-adjustable depth of field
-field of view
-shaky cam
-slow motion
-color grading
-color saturation
-ability to add fog and change its color
-green screen
There's more, here's a vid of it.

IN 2012!?

This pretty much did theater in for me, too. Another thing was that we couldn't look at fileshares before the games started so I never really got into many community maps or videos because I couldn't quickly download them while waiting in a lobby like halo 3.

I didnt know about that
The only thing I liked from Black Ops theatre was the ability to merge segments into one clip and a custom cam views path

What did I missed? And who's Plywood?

When do we expect the video that changed Stroll's life to drop?
I'd post a GIF to demonstrate my sorrow, but I'm not yet ready to follow him into the Abyss.
The pauper of the GIF, the jester of the JPEG.
In OT |8| what lies in store?

This is vital to keep Theater relevant, as far as I'm concerned. Bungie Pro rendering was novel for the time, but that kind of dramatically limited paywall solution just doesn't cut it anymore.
My phone's browser crashed twice on the gif page, did I miss anything of value in between the image spam posts?
Yeah I think I remember you.
I didn't know OWV was Frankie on my first few days here (he wasn't posting dev like comments at that time), I had him as a completely different poster, and IIRC the moment I realized it was right after I made a sexual joke about him while he was online in the thread. Talk about awkward.

Thank you for saving me the trouble.
There's some good news for your browser. They got him, kid.

The GIF overload was a little overboard, and that board was made of Plywood. But a ban? Whats the shortest ban they have? I got banned for a month for making a thread about Too Human being better than Diablo 3.

That's the thing though - Want to do multiple players' perspectives? If it's not at a LAN, then you're SOL. Even then, you'll need some pricey equipment to do proper switching/splitting/etc. Pretty sure u4iX gave a more detailed example earlier and that was just touching the surface on what's needed to provide a decent stream of a tournament.
Obviously, if it's just one player/screen that you'll never leave, then the feature isn't really needed. But that's not usually how tournaments/show matches work, is it?
I've seen some people being banned just for a day or so, but i guess those are either mistakes or just warnings.
