I don't know if I'm lucky or not, but I've never had a 360 die to lights of any kind. I have had DVD drives end up faulty in different ways though. One stopped reading discs, the other had a faulty tray that wouldn't open.daedalius said:

what.
So was bungie just trolling us with the absolute lack of AV weapons on some BTB maps other than a single token plasma launcher (on hemorrhage)?
Also, what the hell is a counter to a banshee besides your entire team team-shooting it, and a sniper rifle; rocket lock-on is a joke, they just can't track it or aren't fast enough or something, not to mention the acrobatics it is easily capable of. That thing can just rape an entire team if they don't have something to counter it (I've done it plenty of times, and had it done to me).

Things to take down vehicles in Hemorrhage: DMR, Plasma Pistol, Concussion Rifle, Sniper Rifle, Plasma Launcherdaedalius said:
Banshee is broken with the horrid maneuvering and banshee bomb. Best thing to take it out is a sniper, or if on map, laser. Unfortunate that wasn't in any of the TU changes.
You spawn with an antivehicle weapon, to the detriment of game quality. Three guys DMRing a Warthog will have it down in 20 seconds, no problem (this is bad design). The sniper makes vehicle runs nigh-impossible if used right (this is bad design). That plasma launcher is probably the best addition to the weapon stable, which isn't surprising considering it apes half the functionality from a previous great antivehicle weapon. It's not token if you treat it as the high value asset that it is.daedalius said:
Banshees have to be DMRed from distance to stop your aim assist from freaking out. Snipers work, but they're tough to get a bead on. Since rockets' abilities against vehicles were nerfed from people complaining ("They could follow you through windows and turn on a dime!" No, they couldn't.), they're useless as antivehicle weapons now, don't even bother unless it's against a Falcon. Long story short: If the guy is good in a Banshee, you'll end up dying 5 times before he goes down even if half your team is shooting him. Extremely high maneuverability combined with extremely high damage output combined with too high durability for the previous two parameters to make sense. Its a broken vehicle in a surrounding environment of broken vehicle combat.

Why can't we have dedis again? Wouldn't a dedi in NH when I play with Over be optimal rather than some random asshole's host in bumfuck nowhere?

If the dedicated servers of BF3 are an example at the moment, then god no. But I can't say for sure since Dice promised that it would get better.Devolution said:

The dedi would have to be in between you and Over for a better connection surely. You connecting to a NH dedi is the same as nowDevolution said:

Is there any reason frienly fire isn't off yet in Living Dead yet?
After the fifth betrayal it is not funny anymore, I'm curious to see how many months will it take to 343 to change this.

The only way i can see dedis working effectively is if they are implemented in all major regions or else the US gets a bigger advantage than they currently have. Great for the US but the rest of the world wont be happy.
BF3 has Europe, West US, East US, South US, Japan, and Australia. Its fine for the most part. It means however that if you me and an aussie played together where gunna get shitty connections still.
If your playing on the Europe server because of me then your going to be in the same situation as before so would the Aussie. If i play on your US server im in a bad situation.
The only thing its going to do is stabilize the current connection environment and create less of a host advantage but in turn its going to create a regional advantage.

Either you're connecting to Over's host or you're going to connect to the dedi in NHDevolution said:

Don't even bother. Dedicated severs are the True and Correct American Super-Solution to all of Halo's Problems.

Can anyone try and download something from XBL Marketplace. My console wont let me download anything. Game patch or otherwise. :/
I don't get the euro hate for servers here. It's not the same situation because in matchaking you would be playing in a server
from your region, and in case of an international custom or MM game the server won't have a crappy connection (the reason for bad experiences with across the pond games) so it will still be fine.

Dont get me wrong, id like the added stability it would bring to the game but the price to set up and maintain multiple server farms is going to be pretty hard to justify for microsoft. Gears is the only game using the dedis at the moment and with the drop in player count maybe halo could piggy back on them.
Here's why.bobs99 ... said:

Thanks! Glad its not just my console.
Hydranockz said:
Sure, if the game actually did that. I live in NH with a steady 10mb up and I don't get host. It doesn't split the difference between Devo and Over, instead it'll give it to some kid in Japan or Guatemala and fuck everybody.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Halo culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in TF2 where you can become successful by being a demoman. If you screw someone over in Halo, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the dudebro public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Halo 4, nor will they purchase any of Microsoft's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but you've alienated an entire market with this move.
343i, publicly apologize and cancel Halo 4 for 360 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

You guys are weird anything that would make Halo better you are against.
-60FPS.
-Dedis.
Both of those things would make Halo more goods and you are against both things?
Can we not even wish to have nice things anymore?

I've played enough games with enough players from around the world to be more than happy with P2P. If 343 thinks dedis or a combination of both works better, I'd love to see it happen, not that I would even notice

None of these things are really neccesary, what they have to do is to develop a great netcode, Reach's netcode was already a great improvement over 3's crappy online experience.xxjuicesxx said:
Dedis won't solve anything and I'm 89% sure Halo 4 won't have them.
Yes because the only possible reason anyone would ever want dedicated servers is to "solve" problems that they can't solve.Gabotron ES said:
e: 60fps will not happen for H4, since that's on 360. Unless of course you want to lower the LoD all the way down to CoD levels just to smoothen out the FPS.

Yikes, I have been MIA in AC. How has everything been going in the world of Halo? There is too much stuff to play right now.

Don't get me wrong but I'm sure most guys yelling "Halo needs dedicated servers" don't even know how these works and the complications they could bring.Kuroyume said:
Again, a better netcode and host selection system would be a better solution, regarding the 60 FPS thing, isn't the human eye capable of seeing 24 FPS, where would the others go?
Striker said:
Unless you're team shooting the dmr isn't going to do much to a hog. Plasma pistol will get you killed more often than not imo if they have a halfway decent gunner, and a single plasma nade won't do much. Concussion rifle is a joke compared to the brute shot awesome.
Banshees is broke tho
