I don't think so, no.
Per the DF review Halo 4 is far more stable than Reach and stays at 30 fps fairly consistently.
They obviously never went near BTB or an explosion.

60fps on Xbox One will be so good.
I'm honestly looking forward to seeing it. Halo 3 mostly but I'm sure I'll give Halo 4 a chance.

I find that very difficult to take seriously. Halo 4 is a slideshow much, much, much more often than Reach.
Yeah, Halo 4 performs pretty well in most modes. Split-screen and BTB can get ugly sometimes, though.
Reach... well, its less ambitious areas run pretty damned well, but in some areas Bungie wanted high complexity and large scale and loads of heavy effects work all at once. The results are predictable. Also, some forge maps get bad.
Halo 3 has a stuttering problem, but it doesn't suffer much from spikes.
I remember some GAF customs, where I had a buddy at my place. Map was Wreckage, I think. Anyways, I captured uncompressed videos of that game and it had average 23 FPS in that game. It drops to 11-13 FPS very often. Such a nightmare. Sadly, it was on my old HDD disk, which broke when Elzar asked me to capture a clip.
Not implying that Elzar is to blame, but he totally is. 
Both Wreckage and Shatter just buckled under their own weight, both maps were too large and that caused really bad drops. Both were from Crimson map pack, which also included Harvest; which also didn't run so hot.I remember some GAF customs, where I had a buddy at my place. Map was Wreckage, I think.

Later map packs had less of these issues though, and were better optimized.

Yeah, I remember Wreckage having some damn issues in matchmaking the, like, five or six times I saw it.

Think this was from the last time I played Shatter.
Hit 500/1000 Suppressor kills as well. So close!

A question about that, the cutscenes will be replaced by a cinematic or we will get both?
Dongs Macabre
aka Daedalos42
It also drops so low in Spartan Ops that it's unplayable. :/
Murder Miners on PC is pretty fun. Halo would be so good with a keyboard and mouse, since you won't have to claw or move your thumb off the right stick to click buttons.
I remember hearing you get both, but during them you can't switch between them.
That's basically the same as CEA, correct? You needed to switch back before you triggered cutscenes if you wanted classic.
I assume the remastered music will work the same way as CEA as well where it's a menu option, but it'd be great if we can do the same for the sound effects.
Played it yesterday and today. Pretty good stuff so far.

Out of the retail-price (and CEA) 360 titles I've played, I think I'd rate the framerates somewhere along the lines of:
Halo 3 = ODST > Reach > GTAV > Wars = Halo 4 > Halo CEA

seriously, lol.
it's been well over a year since I played Halo 4, the last time I played Halo was when H3 was free and that was for like a day. I wanna go in fresh!
ooooo I'll second this. I'd come down for the weekend for some MCC.
lol that shit never happened to me.
Only time it ever happened to me as well.
When playing OG Halo 2 mode you get OG cinematics, when in anniversary and the cutscene triggers you get new Blur ones.
Remastered music will play in Anni mode, but when you switch, so will sound effects and music. The game will essentially be running two games at once this time around.
You're such a tease

Huh. Well from my experience of days playing both games, they are flat out wrong for multiplayer.
Speaking of Didact, is it ever explained how Cortana knows that he's the Didact after his first cutscene in Mission 3?

Been fighting that urge to hook up the 360 for quite some time now hahah -- Born again Halo virgin baby!
My Pistol is tingling.
Doesn't Cortana have extensive Forerunner knowledge a la Reach?

How is the average population on 4 these days anyway?
Right now it's a tad over 12K if that's any indication.
Sure, but it's kinda odd how he's never mentioned prior.

Leap of logic. His name is plastered all over Requiem's system (most likely warnings and the like), and so you kinda put two and two together.

Thanks
Hmm
Reach and 4s populations have been similiar, i would sooner play Reach mainly because of objective game types but.
I don't think Forerunners were a threat until the Didact, even they saw the ancient humans as one, no?
I'm not too familiar with the new lore that's been given surrounding their reappearance but I doubt Cortana didn't at least know of his existence.

In the next mission she said something about his name means something about being the one who teaches....this "didact"...but can be easily missed if you run after saving the marines.
There is also a hidden audio terminal thing at the start of the second level where you hear an elite chanting "diiidaaaact!". It's on the crashed lich.
And then later in the Didact reveal cutscene an elite kneels and shouts "DIDAAAACT".
Wreckage also suffered from this weird lighting. You couldn't see shit, if you were looking into the direction of these things.
I was actually quite happy, that it didn't show up in MP that often. It was really unplayable and Halo 4 had enough of oversized maps.
I'm not sure. I played the Halo 4 campaign like 3 or 4 times and haven't payed attention.
I had many questions after the campaign, but this was not one of them. Weird, that I haven't noticed it.

Pretty much my thought. His name had to have come up when she was interfacing with Requiem, but she didn't really have time to sort through everything and pick out the relevant stuff until it was too late.
