Orange and blue forever.
It does feel like Halo, MLG has done an amazing job with this turd.
Inevitably though, we win too many games and we'll start going up against kids who eat, sleep, and breathe MLG and the fun window will close on us old timers.
I did notice the population had increased a lot in the playlist though, maybe word of mouth can spread that Halo gameplay has returned. You just have to go into the MLG playlist to get it.
I hope they adopt Beaver Creek soon.
Time to retire.
Your avatar made me think of the epic moment I read in ADWD today.
How epic? So epic?
NO SPOILERS!!!#!111

Foundry, Sandbox, and Forge World were all one color. Grey, brown, ugly orange - whatever. If they fixed that type of problem for Halo 4, that will be great. If not, there's no point in getting overly excited over this.

Just started it the other day, pretty excited about the characters covered in this one as opposed to AFFC.

It only took them a year to figure out that the movement settings they put in v1 were clearly superior lol.
A lot
I know, I love Plywoods avatar. Don't ever change it and post more often.

I will happily watch my W/L ratio crater as I immediately quit out of any match where Bungie or 3431 pits me and 3 other people with negative K/D ratios against a party of 4 with incredibly high K/D ratios.
If your matchmaking fails, don't punish me for backing the fuck out and trying to find a better one through rolls of the dice.

Goosechecka said yesterday that they were aware of this and were in the process of letting 343 know to fix. Let's see how long it takes...

By that logic people would quit at the first sign of a loss (oh wait, they do).
You abandon your team, you deserve your shafting.

I think I'm going to stay clear of the playlist til then. Spawncamped for extra rounds when the game should be over is not my definition of fun.

Wait a second? Halo is back? HALO IS BACK?! I will try it out later.It does feel like Halo, MLG has done an amazing job with this turd.

I hope we see an evolution of the Scarab in Halo 4. More ways to take out, perhaps have one stalk you throughout an entire level (etc.). Best boss fights in an FPS I've played, and I'd love to see 343 expand on the concept.

First game I played in the Anniversary playlists was Elite Slayer on Ridgeline and it was pretty cool, my only problem is that there are like 20 ghosts on that map.
You mean like it was supposed to in Halo 3 during that cut mission?
Halo needs more cool mission objectives. Things like the vent cores, pulse generators, in Halo CE. Imagine fighting on top of a massive forerunner machine thats moving, and you need to hit its weak points to bring it down while fighting the new enemies.

I dunno. Hadn't heard about this before. The Guardian level?
Of course, in order to keep the concept fresh, this New Scarab should stalk you in different ways every time you play it (you see it in different places each time).
i was just showing that Cyriak video to friends the other day. So fucked up.
Did you get your account cleared up yet?

I thought we wouldn't be fighting Covenant in 4.
Instead of a Scarab think about this:
A giant plattform-like Forerunner Sentinel hovering over high ground, it also unleashes smaller sentinel forms attached to it's belly and sides which also serves as defensive turrets.
You have to deplete the shields around their propulsors in order to take it down or access it's core from inside.
You could also have missions where you can fight them from the ground or from your Falcon/Pelican/Gawk turret just to board it after.
IMAGINATION
Yup, still don't know why it was taken down.
Nope it was when you where still on earth. I remember reading about it in OXM (I think it was that at least) and got super hyped. Really sad that it didn't make it in.
Also how about we just get the Forerunner equivalent to the scarab which I am sure will be the case for Halo 4 anyways.

which are oh so fun to bait in, then pp and stick

By the way, getting to talk about possible Scarab variants in halo 4 got me a hard on.
With Sparth providing sketches for the team, we are in for a treat when it comes to places and machines.
As a treat here is a new sketch by Sparth published today for a sci-fi anthology

Now that I think about it, I recall seeing a ginormous sentinel blowing up shit like a boss in the Origins episode.

When I said "evolution," I didn't mean to imply that I think we'll be seeing Scarabs in Halo 4 or that we'd be fighting the Covenant, but I'd want a new enemy equivalent. An evolution of the concept, more specifically.

A scarab made of Devo's beard?

This never happens to you.
Oh come on how would no one get super hyped about hearing how a giant mechanical bug would be chasing you through a forest? lol
Wonder what would happen if you where on acid while watching that lol
Oh yes we will.
