I don't recall the end being all that challenging. The room with the elite running for the banshee though (where you have to disable some energy balls with 2 banshees flying around)... I died in that room so many times lol. Also waiting for Cortana to unlock the door in the jungle while the Prometheans attack you.

well yeah there was MLG, but I think there was a playlist that was only BR's before that. Maybe that just got replaced with MLG.
Once they get their shit together I'm sure there will be a better group of playlists.

Everything should be br start by default then a playlist for shitty joke start weapons.
H2A has it right, with all the objective modes being BR start.
If halo 3/2 playlists had br start for OBJ I would be a lot more inclined to vote it.
Halo 4 was fun! I didn't agree with the hate it got and found I had a good time with it.
It's either they make all game types BR or they remove all team slayer game types from the game specific playlists with the exception of any odd ones like team rockets, team snipers
Put objective as the primary focus for the game specific playlists
Keep team BRs in the team slayer playlist

How can you even play that when the frame rate is like a slideshow in the warthog or do u just play vanilla grfx

I've owned every Halo and I'm ignoring multiplayer for now and replaying all the campaigns on Heroic in one straight shot. If you have never done it before, I highly recommend it. Don't play normal. The game shines in heroic and is dastardly in Legendary.
...huh?
I've noticed absolutely no frame dips when driving the Warthog.
Also, the vanilla graphics really, really help sightlines.

It is mostly just a lighting problem. It should have been relit. The entire start on the Pillar of Autumn has removed all of the mood from the level. It is like they wanted to show off the art but in doing so killed the drama.

This.
I hate when the geometry doesn't match with the graphics in CEA. Classic all the way.
If I had to sum up the Halo 4 campaign in 30 seconds...

I wanna kick myself. I was gonna test to see if grabbing the Scarab gun on Outskirts would pop the achievement for grabbing a Scarab gun, but I screwed that up. When I grabbed a Banshee on Metropolis today to get the soccer ball achievement, I, without giving it a second thought, flew up and grabbed the Scarab gun.
If you're following any guide that mentions needing 7 checkpoints, ignore it. It's wrong. Every time you spawn the jackal snipers in the alley, you have a 1 in 7 chance of spawning the skull. If the skull doesn't appear, restart the level and try again. Here's a quick route I've used for years to get to the room where the skull spawns.

I love how the elite looks around like "So... Where did he go?"

I'm not getting most of these performance issues people are having with the campaigns, I must be extremely lucky, or a bunch of these technical issues happen in co-op splitscreen or online. All campaigns in their update forms all run brilliantly for me, between 50-60fps throughout. Only noticed a few minor issues...
1. Projectiles in cutscenes sometime look choppy, and some of the character models chug a little when they move in Halo CE.
2. A noticeable framerate dip for the first few seconds of gameplay at the beginning of some of Halo 4's mission.s
3. Got the "Untasked build" error on Halo 4 when loading up 1 mission.

Eventually they stop. I just beat CE on Heroic yesterday and there are times where it feels like they just keep coming, but eventually they stop. Loved playing through the game again and contrary to the posters above, I love the Remastered CE graphics so much better. Some areas are just night and day difference, but then again seeing the game in it's original state but at 1080p/60fps does still look decent for a old game.
Just starting up Halo 2 and man are the new cut scenes gorgeous. WOW!
There's a limit, but just through when you can.

Yeah, I thought that they would not stop appearing so I ran my way throgh that forest! Lol
I've searched every night since release (over 7 days ago) and I've been able to find two games.
And they weren't even full. So no, it isn't far fetched at all.

Flabbergasted shit is still broken. I'm honestly about to return it. 15 minutes to get into one game. Unacceptable.
At least wait until the patch Wednesday if you think you will rebuy it later.

How do you guys get your clips in here?
Clear a wave and move through it quickly, if you linger for too long, a new wave will spawn and the clusterfuck will begin again. You can exhaust the spawns, but it takes a while. You want to keep moving through most of Keyes if you can, take your time on Covenant encounters, or let the Flood fight them, then mop up the leftovers. For The Flood though, fight through a wave, then keep paddling out to calmer waters, so to speak.

Thanks. I assume they don't go there immediately cause I just recorded one thats not there
Takes a few minutes. It'll show up.

Just run for the nearest banshee. It may take a few tries but it'd take less time overall than dealing with the flood of enemies.
You can skillfully fall onto the Banshee and hop in from the levels above. Ignoring pretty much all of the enemies in the hanger that arrive with said Banshees. Remember to Crouch on your landing to prevent being stunned and lessen the damage you take from the fall.

And as an extra bonus, you get a super-fast banshee for a few seconds. I'm guessing Bungie made it that way so that the escape cutscene would look more epic, since flying away in a Banshee at normal speed would look silly.

Do you guys think that with the wednesday patch the game will finally operate as intended and we'll just be playing as many games as we want?
Or will it improve only slightly and instead of taking 20 minutes to get a match and the game crashing afterwards it will take 10 minutes and not crash.

Like they said, just drop down and hop into a banshee. Mission complete.

Not too sure. There's a ton of campaign, saving, achievement and multiplayer issues that are going to need ironing out. The wednesday patch may fix a few things and perhaps lessen waiting times for matches, but this game won't fully operate as it was intended for quite a while.

The problem is that I died and came back the room where is Keyes, now I always die when I open the gate and some strong elites show up throwing a bunch of granades.

I loved two betrayals just because of how open it was and the battles between the flood and the covenant felt so amazing at the time. you had dozens of AI interacting with each other and with you, along with vehicles and flying vehicles.. back at the xbox launch this was some truly amazing shit.
And flying to the various locations even though it was like a canyon really felt amazing too at the time.
Environments simply weren't that large on consoles, especially in FPS games.
The closest thing might have been the Quake 2 port but even that was scaled back due to console ram limitations. The PS1 version of Quake 2 is seriously impressive for the hardware but halo is on a whole other level.
