Halo with or without dedicated servers is better than all the generic garbage that passes for popular shooters these days anyway.

Shadow Complex for 600 points may just be too good to pass up, and it'll pass the time until BF3.

I beat Half-life thought it was ok. Half-life 2 though I could not finish. It just isn't my cup of tea.
Speaking of games. Steam version of Orcs Must Die is out now. The demo is not remotely the tip of the iceberg. It gets so hectic and fun the further you get.
Now back to whatever it was you were talking about. lol

On the "aiming down the sights" or ironsights note, I kind of like how Gears 3 does it. They have one gun that allows you to aim down the sights if you want, or hip fire like normal. It would be cool if Halo 4 had a few guns (that made sense) have some form of ADS, and the rest were normal.
It'd be nice if they could have Waypoint built in to Halo 4 if that's even feasible, rather than having a separate app as it is right now. It feels odd to exit Halo and go into Waypoint to see whatever they put up. Do they put the Bulletin's up on it? It'd be nice if they did put them up on Waypoint to read that is if Waypoint ever does come built in with any Halo.Karl2177 said:

Letters said:Please don't ever suggest ADS to be put in Halo!!!!!!!!!!!!
and GOW3 players might want to have a look at that |OT| right about now
Aaah, fresh meat.
But great news about the Sawn shotty being nerfed, I really lathed that thing.
Anyone having trouble with matchmaking?
I keep getting kicked out a few seconds into searching saying "We had to abort Matchmaking due to networking difficulties, please try again later." I've never seen that. In a party with a friend. NAT is open and everything checks out for me. Searching alone works fine. Must be him.

this is almost certainly in the pipe, or at least some kind of waypoint-lite.
in all honesty, i still expect them to do something on-disc for CEA. the waypoint team is working hard on the next version of the platform and it's nearly ready from what i've heard.
i'm willing to take the bet that we see a kinect-enabled waypoint outlet inside the CEA executable.

But you do know that you have to pay for those skins right? If you want to get them all, it'll cost you around 35 dollars....
To say no dedicated servers, no sale is a bit much. Dedicated servers do NOT make the game magically better. Just have a solid netcode and things are all good.
Some of you are forget dedicated servers come with their own share of problems. I want dedicated servers as much as the next guy but I can very easily live without them.

I disagree. Unless I'm not getting what you're saying. There's a difference between zooming in Halo and ADS in other games. You're gun isn't anymore accurate when you're zoomed in, you can just aim easier. ADS allows you're gun to be more accurate. Zooming in Halo is a trade-off, whereas ADS in other games its something you have to do always unless you're extreme CQB.MrBig said:

To be precise, they're saying:wwm0nkey said:
Which is like saying:Plywood said:
"I am boycotting next year's Hobbit movie if it does not have Batman in it. I will NOT go see it in theaters.*
*on opening weekend, of course. Anything after that is fair game though. Also I'm going to buy the bluray.
Take that, Peter Jackson!"

Join in game/ leave in game just leads to a ton of situations where you join a match on the loosing team because all the losers couldnt hack it anymore. Its a LOT more common for losers to leave than when teams are evenly matched. Its a aweful system and when I play Black Ops the first death of the night usually comes from joining a game where the enemy has chopper gunner/ dogs/ whatever. That would be worse with map control and power weapons being held by the winning team. Dont get me wrong after that killstreak ends I can hold my own but when your team is already losing heavily its hard to pull it back.
I also prefer the more personal arena type games when you know the people in the lobby will be the same guys at the end win or lose. You cant really make a trash talker eat his words on CoD because a minuite into the game hes probably been replaced with someone else.

Huh? I didn't say that anywhere in my post.daedalius said:
Edit:
What do you mean by zoom factor? You don't zoom (enough to really make a difference) when using ADS like in CoD. Or are you talking about something completely different?MrBig said:

You do when you put something like an ACOG scope on your weapon. When I put an ACOG scope ob ny Famas for the first time in MW2, it kinda looked like a BR.Dax01 said:
The idea if scoping in CoD and Halo are pretty similair, only the names are different.

It's about sending a message*, I want Halo 4 but I want it with dedicated servers. This is the series that put Xbox on the map and it deserves better than P2P netcode and US v. Germany v. Australia v. Mexico matchmaking.ncsuDuncan said:

It's from the new Firefight map "Installation 04". You can watch the b-roll here. Or a video commented by the lovely Mr. Ellis.thezerofire said:
Map was unveiled at HaloFest.
Going to watch it tomorrow. Kevin Grace is really an awesome guy who makes me to want a 3D television.TheOddOne said:
Btw. what do I have to do to get the awesome Anniversary t-shirt, 117 longsleeve and the 343i hoodie? Damn. Release them! ARGH!
Edit.: It looks like we finally have in-game subtitles.
That's awesome. Especially for me, because it is hard to listen to the in-game dialogs if you fight through a horde of Elites and Grunts. thezerofire

ah that makes sense. I was confused on how there were ODST's and custom armors at the same time.Hypertrooper said:

It was one of the big things, that there will be a friendly-AI on the map. When I played it, I liked how the AI drove. Except the moment, when the AI directly drove to the cliff. Yeah. Suicide AI.thezerofire said:
(Still an awesome looking map. I wished Reach's firefight AI was more aggressive)Edit.: I told myself I won't watch any new CEA stuff, but. Damn. The game is looking hot.
