Sorry.
Ahh, gotcha.
Wasn't that glitch present in the original Halo 2 though?

Why?
Couldn't this happen if you melee'd during the burst fire animation?

Man, big team battle in Halo 4 can be realllly fun. I played Perdition for the first time. I really liked that map.

Yea some of the H4 BTB maps are actually good. Shatter is kind of crap though, and worse, it suffers from severe fps drops half the time, something I have only noticed in H4 MP on that map.

I have to say, all these BR start gametypes are really bugging me. I love the gun an all but man, how about some variety...
ShadowsFell

Definitely. That map is a clusterfuck. Does it still suffer from big frame drops in the master chief collection? I remember that it did on Halo 4 on the Xbox 360.

It totally does, it feels like half the time its like at 30 fps

Damn.

That's what I assumed. Still confused.
nope. you had variety with H4 fiesta. I like my BR and that's all I use if I can help it.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Worse gamertag type, "itz ______" or "xx______xx" and all its varieties?

While xx_____xx is annoying, "itz _______" screws up the kill feed rhythm more, so I'll vote for that.
This is also why gamertags like "my pet hamster" are the best, IMO.

I got a pretty wicked Pit remake almost done.

Yeah, they consolidated to try and cut down MM times when they were wildly broken. It'll probably get added back in later.

All I want for Christmas is for BTB to be working.
It's fun to joke around and people really have their own opinions and preferences.. But Warlock BR really is straight out broken. It should never be part of a matchmaking playlist.
working great for me tonight. Played a couple H2 16 player games

Just got in one and it's Waterworks but unfortunately no bomb. ........ and just booted back to lobby

I wonder if perhaps it's a lower population, and because the mode requires more players? Sometimes it's tough for me to get in BTB games. Mostly when it's pretty late at night though.

I still find it hard to get in BTB matches. I doubt the population is that low. There are MP games on the 360 that I play with player counts hovering around 300 and I still find matches no problem.
Its so surreal, I dont think I ever imagined something like this could happen to Halo of all games.

The rockets keep respawning so the banshee reign won't last for ever.
When you have two decent teams playing the banshee is just another weapon to fight over and take control off so I like it. The problem currently is that with the broken ranks (I'm still on H2A team slayer rank 1 despite having apparently played 100 games?) you end up with a sub standard team where at least two people are new to the game and don't rush the main weapons, that and H2C lag.

If I only care about the single player campaign,will I still have technical issues?

They needs to fix ranks, there are already level 50s due to bug abusing. Last match there was a level 33 on the other team, he instantly quits out before the game starts. After the game I go and look him up, and he's now a level 34. lol

I think the wait time to get into a game is proportional to the number of players needed. Now that they've added more transparency to the player finding process, I notice that I get put in lobbies of 5-10 people and wait around until enough show up one at a time to start the game. That's why they said that allowing the game to start as soon as he minimum count is reached would speed up matchmaking.
After 10 years of AR/SMG start bullshit I'm done "taking one for the team". Instant quit.

Honestly, AR/SMG starts really aren't that bad. I hope sanctions for chronic quitters are implemented.

I agree, my Steam name was "31 tiny potatoes" for a while. It made me chuckle.
I did not melee during a burst.
Since I'm having this discussion in two separate threads, I'll paste over my reply from the other thread.
Anyone can four shot people in Halo 3, that doesn't negate the fact that at times, you will be robbed of a four shot due to the br refunding. To put it in layman's terms, anytime you fire your BR, and the AR also, in Halo 3, you are essentially pulling a slot machine handle on every trigger pull. Sometimes all three bullets will exist, sometimes two and sometimes only one. For some reason, Halo 3 refunds you back the bullets that didn't exist in your shot, thus you'll see your ammo counter go from say...three to five.
In Halo 2 Annv, this same thing is happening. So, no, it's not a result of me meleeing anyone in the middle of a shot, it's simply the game. I started noticing it more recently last night as I was hammering into a person and clearly after four headshots they were not dying, it took five or six, I was not missing shots.
The thing that really brought it to my attention was the sound of the game. The BR has been sounding inconsistent. When you fire the BR in H2A, you'll hear the "bang, bang, bang." However, sometimes you'll only hear two bangs or one bang...then I started watching my ammo counter and the damn thing changes back to a number on its own.
So, the image of the one bullet left was me simply firing my BR over and over and on the last two bursts I had left, I fired them as quick as I could and I was refunded a bullet back.
I guess the average person won't even notice this or pay any attention to it, most people in Halo 3 didn't even know it existed, they just played. I have a eye for attention to detail and this bothers me.
Stinkles, maybe you can chime in on this? Is this a P2P thing or is it a dedicated server thing, or is this simply the way you guys designed the netcode for the BR?
I really thought that H2A was hitscan on the BR, but it seems not so, each individual bullet within a three-round burst counts as a separate projectile.

I haven't been able to hop on since this update. Now that it's settled in, has it improved anything?
Many people are saying the matchmaking times are much quicker in certain playlists. BTB though still takes a long time to find players.
Personally, I've been finding quick matches in: H2A, Rumble Slayer, Halo 2 classic and Team Slayer.

Awesome. Sounds like I'm going to give DA:I a break tonight.

Gonna try going through Shutdown again. I thought that when this happened back on the mission Infinity, I presumed it glitched because I may have saved & quit at one point. That's apparently not the case.
Once they sort out the matchmaking issues, I'm sure they'll be implementing and rotating playlists like these. Right now, they just want to give us a better chance of actually playing; limiting the playlists for the time being was a part of that reason, if I remember correctly.

Played again last night, with friends.
Had a game instantly go to the game over screen, but after pressing b and searching again everything was fine.
Still getting games fast. BTB games a little slower.
Had a BTB multi flag game on Containment and thought the nostalgia would smother me to death. Tons of fun. The BTB playlist is kind of what i wanted from this game: an obnoxious amount of variety. I haven't played on the same map once (in that playlist)
