Yeah - I can't think of any cogent reactions really until some official word comes down.
When you get worried, just DM biggy and all will be well in the world.
Biggy, check your PMs.

This reminds me of one thing I've always wanted. The game should automatically end when it is impossible for the opposing team to win, such as in a One-Flag and Bomb. Also, with game types such as KOTH and Oddball, the game should end when it's mathematically impossible to win. That way it there isn't that pointless 30-odd seconds of waiting for the game to finish. I think it would be a nice addition to the game types.
I wonder if it will work. They have dumbed down CTF so much to do this that they risk alienating the more experienced players who still populate the playlist.

Which is what? When did these stupid ass teams get established?
It would also keep people from purposefully not scoring or not getting in the hill just to troll the other team. Which I have to say, like an asshole, I've done. But it shouldn't even BE possible.

It baffle me too, it doesn't make any sense. But now for the next week or so we're going to hear conflicting reports about pretty much everything until 343 slowly give us info.
A few weeks ago, I would have agreed with you. Then I just stopped playing Reach. I haven't had a legitimately fun match of Reach in months, outside of a handful of HaloGAF MLG matches (IE that absolutely sick game of KotH on Beaver Creek).
I felt almost like this compulsive need to play it, just because it was Halo. That feeling's gone. If Halo 4 is bad, I'm out. No reason to play multiplayer of a game I don't like when there are other, great games out there.

I'm pretty calm about it all. I may be on team SLRP for this but I just don't see a point in complaining about all of these sandbox decisions when I haven't had the chance to experience it for myself. Has anyone that played with these perks and such actually said they are game breaking? I think everyone is overreacting.

First, we have to get the information from of-screen youtube videos and tweets, then, a small group of people can hear the news and tell us about it and only after that, all the other people can get the full details from 343.
I blame this on the guys who would hold the bomb on Burial Mounds until the other team quit.

I think you just want change... any change.
I would also love change, just wish the change made sense. Its like they changed something no one wanted changing just for the sake of seemingly changing something.
But yeah a video where they explain the changes and clarify the reasons for the changes would be great.

All those who are members of the "90% negative posting club". Kyle/Over/Juices ect.
They have an opinion and thats fine by me but the constant negativity can be a bit much at times.
Its not really much of an issue, They like the franchise as much as I do and just want the best for it they have every right to be upset about shit they don't like. I do feel that some of the stuff posted is a bit rash but its up to them. Freedom of speech ect ect.

:lol I'm sorry, yes, it's a joke. It's one of many of the original images I made when I did the "X, X EVERYWHERE" thing with Arby and Noble Six. So far ammo is completely free.

There are plenty of changes previous Halo games need that I always considered to be handled poorly by the sequels.
I love hyper-critical posts because it sets a nice gradient between sucking dev cock and being ridiculously negative. Then a bunch of us can fall nicely in the middle.

Those gametypes need to be retooled, sure. Reduce it to one round each, increase round times by a minute. Eliminates the reason for quitters in the final round, doesn't need to have the lame duck detection that Bungie refused to propagate from Grifball. Keeps the things that make asymmetric objective good, gets rid of the shitty bits. Add objective contesting in a radius, sticky arming, tailored flag/bomb return times, etc. back in and everything is all peachy again.
Tied with "salty" as the laziest way to dismiss people's opinions without actually addressing them. Team SLRP is equally silly to use as an argument.

I've already txt'd biggy/beardfu. Awaiting responses/suicide threats.
Those new ones sound terrible.
Christ MP just gets worse and worse. Please announce ranked or classic 343! Please!
Don't worry, they are no nukes in Halo 4......unless you get the perk! Nukes for all!
I hope I am wrong, but I guess it returns to the "wait for Frankie and David to clear everything up phase"

You forgot the whole, SensyGAF/Team SLRP stuff.
But look how long you played Reach despite its flaws.
You ate right though and honestly that's a good feeling to have. Plenty of games to play and it's not worth getting so worked up or whatever about a game you aren't happy with.
I'm also just giving you shit.

Personally I think one flag is better with big team than it ever was with 4v4.
So it came in with the same flood of awful waypoint posters who want to turn this thread into that forum? No wonder every time I come in here I just get mad and leave again.

Of course. But I think, ideally, that there should have been a bulletin today to clarify what was going on.

There are no teams, if someone posts something negative people respond with "must be team downer/salty". If people reply positivity people respond "must be team slrp". There are people who are consistently negative and there are people who are consistently positive, but by this point Halogaf has turned to caricatures and pretty crappy in jokes as a way to deflect real conversation. Would be interesting to see the negative and positive folk have a proper conversation, I think in part people take things too personally and so a simple factual conversation never happens.

There are no teams, only nerds ruining discussion.
I don't think I can agree with that. 1 Flag BTB was always a monumental campfest, four or five dudes just crouching in a base corner.

To a certain extent, yes.

Oh the irony.
Nah, it started a while back when someone got mad at someone being reasonable about some changes and called them a 343 slurper. So Team Slurp was born.
Then something had to exist to be the other side and Team Downer was born. I think someone that would be in Team Downer actually came up with both.
Salt came later with talk of crying over things. All 3 are pretty annoying stereotypes but neither side will really drop them. Pretty sure they all came from long time members though.
Can't we just get the term "salty" banned already? It's the same as saying "u mad?" which is as far as I know also bannable. Unless you're using it in the context of describing the taste of a certain food product it's just a really obnoxious way of responding to complaints.

A strong team on something like Headlong can fuck shit up. Honestly though 1 flag/1 bomb are just kind of meh in general. Rounds and like you said camping, can just make for a silly game because there is no push and pull that results in a weak point to capitalize on.
Classic? Pfft, it's called Retro and keeping in line with canon it simulates what it's like to be a Spartan II.
I'm not against faster reloads or weapons swaps. I just think that should be a default thing. As fast as possible. It's really one of the most annoying things in Halo. You could be in the middle of a firefight with a BR/DR in the previous games, see a Warthog coming around shooting at you and it would take forever to switch to another weapon to deal with the warthog. It would leave you way too exposed and more often than not dead. Dead when you could have pulled out the rockets and dealt with it.
