Actually, both of those would be very welcome. I just want more information
And hopefully the ability to get some hands on time with the game.
By Team Fiesta you mean no radar, sprint w limited abilities available, static weapon/power up spawn locations, and limited load out options... right?

Its PAX, we will be able to play it.
H3 Fiesta was a blast!
Things I'd like to see make a return from the H3 playlists:
Fiesta, Swords, Double XP weekend playlists and a Rocket Race that feels like H3 version

Why would SPOPS content be on disc?
Since GAF is going to be there in full force, 343 has no option but to debut BTB and do a 8v8 humpday challenge on a unannounced map. Reclaim. NO OPTION.

lol funny joke
Frank, can you say yes or no on a bulletin this week, or finding out about August playlist update, or if an August playlist update is still a thing?
Leave. Never come back.

Sandtrap remake.
When the hell did people start hating Sandtrap? I've heard nothing but love for that map.
Honks Elephant Horn in agreement
Fixed that for you.

I don't have a problem with Swordbase like a lot of people do, but I sure as hell wouldn't want a remake of the map. Ever.

A vidoc or two would be nice but for people complaining about a lack of direct feed footage, the MLG videos were better than anything I saw prior to Halo 3's or Reach's release (beta footage notwithstanding). Clean HD footage plus pros using BR's and DMR's, not ARing and walking in straight lines like much of the previous Halo's pre-release stuff.
At this point in time, aside from an official vidoc, I'm far more concerned about the state of the current Halo game that I've already bought. Halo 4 isn't going anywhere. Reach's playlists are in a desperate state and an August update is essential.

I bet I could get SLTPoison to make official humpday shirts for us and 343. Frankie, Ellis...how bout it?

When you get the right game type I find Swordbase fairly enjoyable.

Reach needs playlist consolidation now more than ever.
My thoughts exactly. It's okay for game types that keep people moving.

It's not awful, but there's nothing that great about it. Certainly doesn't warrant a remake.
Slurper confirmed.
I kid 
I've wondered what that map would be like if the wall enclosing the camping room from the hallway was removed.

I will have a camera for PAX 100% now. My dad let me borrow one of his nice ones, although it is a bit older (Cannon). Only issue is that it uses a flash card not an SD card. Looks like a giant SD card.
I assume I can get a converter or something? My Mac Air only takes SD cards. Camera is nice though.

I think it's one of the best BTB maps Halo has ever had, not quite as good as Avalanche, but close. It is perfect for Warthog combat and is one of those maps where the tank isn't super over powered.
Wow, never thought of that. Do that and move the lift back into the corner and that area would never get camped again.

Not to call you out or anything, but I think it's important that we distinguish this from storage requirements for graphical assets. The 720p/1080p/etc determines the resolution of the viewport of the player. Your graphics assets can be as detailed or miniscule as you like and it won't affect your resolution, much the same as you can have only like a standard definition 480i/p viewport but very high res assets and you WILL need more storage.
Just an important point. Resolution is determined by engine, not texture fidelity.
Map was obviously designed for Oddball and Reach beta stockpile.

We need textual healing.
You can buy a USB dongle from Best Buy for cheap that has different adapters for different cards that is compatible with Mac. Mine's in Birmingham and have no use for it now so remind me this weekend to look for it and if I can find it I'll bring it with me and give it to you.

Also, just bought Alan Wake from the marketplace to download while I'm gone. Hopefully I'll be able to tackle it and my interest in HL2 will be alive and well again. And for those wondering why I didn't buy it from Gamestop or 2nd hand from someone, I'm a snob about giving money to 2nd hand retailers and not the devs. I know it doesn't make fiscal sense but it helps me sleep better.

I honestly can't think of one BTB map that is better than Avalanche.
Waterworks.

I'll check out Best Buy and see what I can find. Wish the camera used SD cards, I have a bunch of them. The Flash card has 1GB on it though so if I transfer every night I should be fine.

Meh, Waterworks is okay. I don't get the extreme love or hate the map gets. It's just kinda there for me.
Sorry to not go into more detail in that post, I meant that the menu option for Spartan ops would be on disc 2, possibly with the UI in place to download ASAP. Also shared assets (enemies/weapons) will most probably be on the disc.

Frankie has already talked a lot on ranking systems already.
From what I gathered, they are very against displaying a public "skill" rank as it promotes unsportsmanlike conduct: boosting, cheating, account trading, etc.
I believe he said that they are looking into ways of privately informing you how well you preform compared to others.
So I wouldn't get your hopes up too much...
Before you yell at me, I personally would prefer a publicly viewable rank.
I much prefer competing over grinding out exp to level.

Many of those are very good, none are better, in my opinion.

I'm sorry, your PC has a compact flash card slot?
My work PC I am on right now does not either. I'd need an adapter either way.All I want is one thing: an easy way to figure out what my opponents general skill is before I start the match. If nothing else make BPR visible on the player card.

Both of those are more suited to 6v6 - 4v4

6v6 is still BTB to me. But they are still awesome maps.
Relic yeah, I can't really say for Colossus, never got to play much of that map.
Garrett 2U

Why?
It isn't like you can back out once your matched.
I think it's much more important that matchmaking uses skill, rather than it being visible.
The skill visibility is really only useful for bragging and replay ability.
I know, I already read that. Don't get why, in my opinion, it will decrease account buying a bit, but I doubt much. People will still buy them to boast. I know my mate will still be selling accounts...
