title update makes the game playable for me now + some of the best CE maps...this is kinda like a game relaunch for me.

The title update sounds great so far. Combine that with the new maps (Timberland remake? Yes!) and it's definitely enough to draw me back in.
I was a bit disappointed that the new Reach FF map isn't set on the Rockslide part of "Halo", but if I had to pick anywhere else in the game for a FF map, one of those structures would have featured quite high up on the list.
I'd really like to see a few more CE-based FF maps released over the course of the product...
No, it just had some of the worst texture pop-up ever seen in a game. And not just during cutscenes either, there have been plenty of times where I've seen objects still in my FOV vanish.

Power's out. On phone. I will say that Cortana is very close to rampancy if she's not there already. The new trilogy will have to deal with it.
The campaign had a large share of issues. No debating that, nor surprised by it since they rushed through it within a 10 month time from iirc.Photolysis said:
Multliplayer side of things is squarely where I'm talking about smooth gameplay. If you're talking directly online since Halo: CE didn't offer that, there's a pretty big share of difference between 2 and the others.

one thing I've always liked about halo:ce and halo 2 is the split-screen
it's very consistent, you don't really feel like you're playing with pared back graphics... at least in 2players split

Not if you play on PC. ;D
In fact that's the big thing they did right with the pc version was fixing that.

Wow.
Thanks.

That would be underwhelming. Cortana would make a great villain.NOKYARD said:

Bloom is fine but if you are just talking about CE remake maps then year whatever.
Halo 4 better have bloom. Among other things that made reach the ultimate modern Halo FPS.

Damn it. You beat me to it. Gaffers going need to start a WE WANT CODPIECE chant. It would be hilariously funny but get the point across.

So I was thinking while going for my Saturday swim about what I don't like about the Forza 4 Warthog and I now can explain why I don't like it.
1. Way too damn shiny and clean.
2. Chrome. Why so much chrome? I can't picture a military vehicle having that much chrome.
3. While yes it would have latches etc for the hood. The ones look too Blingy. They seem very decorative in how large they are and how much they stick out. Almost like something you'd find on a show vehicle and not a military vehicle .
4. The gas cans or whatever those cans are stand out where they are at. Now call me crazy but I could swear I saw a design once for the warthog that had those but they were strapped on the sides and not all just put there in a row hanging on the back. I could deal with them that way. Just just look out of place all lined up on back. Again like it's more for an auto show and not a military vehicle.
5. No noticeable military markings like past Warthog designs had.
Now I know you're saying Psycho it is a show vehicle in Forza. I would agree if they didn't have the chaingun and make it a point that it's the Warthog we'll be seeing in Halo 4.
That's my problems with the warthog shown.

Be sure to inquire about that Halo 4 water physics
Honestly. Tashi is one of the VEEEERRRRY few bloom defenders here and that's only because he plays MLG all day on hostA27_StarWolf said:

Fuck bloom on precision weapons. At least at the levels it was in Reach.
EDIT: Nevermind, this is on gaming side. All of you are weird. 99% of the people on the Reach thread on the community side all welcome no bloom playlists with open arms and pray for no bloom in Halo 4.
Chalk it up to Spartan III's not being able to handle guns. My boy Master Chief knows how to shoot. No bloom for him.
Watching the universe panel. So gooooooooood
I can't and won't miss the joseph and marty panel (or any other "main" panel)

I'll try, but I won't be pacing myself while you just rush me, so no promises, maybe I'll be coming at the wall behind you, no way to know for sure.theb0xmIke said:

Fair enough
Look i've been a huge Halo Fan since 2001 and bloom is really just one of many things that halo needed to be become the modern FPS, i mean did u really want Bungie just to make a Halo 3 with a Reach settings? Look everybody has their own opinions but if you think you ill just bow down because i'm a junior to this site...

In a non hostile way, why characteristic of bloom makes it "modern" because COD did it?
soldat7 said:
This seems like a really cool guy. I know how bloom works, I've watched MLG events and Tashi's streams, they both are in support of bloom, but yet every game I see spamming and shots that should hit missing. It's not a part of an arena game in which everything should be controllable.
LOL @ juniors calling out other juniors for being a junior
So is it fair to say that because you mostly play shit gametypes that it has skewed your perception of bloom?

I don't claim to be, and I've been here long enough to grasp how things work. I can grasp it to the point where I know a junior supporting bloom in a HaloGAF thread is not going to win the battle, and is going to get ridiculed, disagree?
