Gamers like progress and rewards no matter how meaningless it actually is. Carrot on stick and little treats makes everyone a winner no matter what level.
I consider myself a gentleman who enjoys gaming often. I prefer meaning in my rewards thank you. I believe this is more a self fulfilling prophecy on developers and publishers part as opposed to the players.
So in other words, doing something for the sake of appealing to the lowest common denominator rather than for the good of the game. Just what Halo needs more of.

Unless you mean high level similar skilled players then yeah I can see that because you got some movement options to evade a little . But I'm talking generally here. In halo if you can get shoot you can turn around and fight not so well in ADS games which a lot of them have very quick kill-times(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkjz18N1D9E). If you are caught of guard you are pretty screwed . I think it's the same way with Titanfall to a point, but I hadn't played it just watched a ton of videos on it and see what people said. My point really was as shown more-so in COD AW gameplay than perhaps in TF ; ADS might be able to work with fast movement even during in middle of a gunfight, seemingly we all know once AW comes out .
ADS wouldn't work in Halo's gameplay it would seem awkward , unless there are certain compromises to how ADS works, but it probably end up more like zoom in the end. I wonder if 343 adds both zoom and ADS in a future release, probably would be redundant though.
I've stated my dislike for the medals before, but I want to reiterate:
I LIKE the medals. I like receiving a visual "chirp" (Killzone) for doing stuff and getting kills.
I don't mind their design, I just dislike the fact that those cool double, triple, etc kill medals are just black and blue.
Each kill streak should have its own color scheme like Halo 2.

It's partly mass appeal and making people feel like they are contributing during the game even if they aren't great or being a different type of player. I don't think it's the worse thing in the world, perhaps a cheap ploy to keep engagement high rather than core game play being the only reason. Don't think it upsets anything really, just a bit of a scattergun approach that watersdowns unique and fun medals that are Halo DNA. Your not going to buy a T-Shirt for one of the Halo 4 medals or even remember one compared to classic ones.
Nah bud, it's the way the lighting is hitting it.

I'm not saying you like ADS or trying to pick an argument, I see what you're saying. I am just disputing it being put in at all. Like if it has to be put in is sort of subjective right? From a 343/MS perspective it should be opposite. In other words it should be a mandate that it never be in.

Now I know usually "HaloFollower" on the YouTubes is roflcopter worthy, but this was kind of interesting:

I flicked through it and I didn't really see much there.
Don't know about you, but if you can get a kill with a Sentinel Beam outright, you DESERVE a medal in my book!

Just popping in to say that I'm glad the H2A oddball is a flaming skull. It looks awesome.
I wasn't very fond of the oddball design in Halo 4.

The sentinel beam in Halo 2 Anniversary is very powerful now.

Why not put the game unlocks in the game? I understand that they want people to go into their ecosystem, but it should never come at the cost of the game itself.

Story elements and re-hasing of their focus on multiplayer arena is just nice to hear I guess.

Also from the montage:
Goddammit, this is what I wanted for the US. A white console bundled with Master Chief Collection. Sigh.

LMAO no. Expect heavy input lag for 4-player co-op Halo 3 just like last time
he's no OddOne, thats for sure
This is the type of thing that worries me that we haven't been given any details on whatsoever. There's been absolutely nothing about how the shift to Azure affects multiplayer and co-op, particularly how things like host advantage/physics are effected and how Halo 1's netcode is being addressed. A couple weeks until the game goes gold and they've said nothing about major, major issues.

Yeah, a few friends want to run the campaigns online.
Please be better
If it was better they'd have told us by now.

I think Fyre explained that they would have to which would require a whole re-write (not a port) of Halo 3's campaign engine to remove button input lag. The game would not play the same as the original Halo 3, and this is a budget release and Halo 3 is already a straight port as it is. Technically possible to re-write the campaign engine? Sure. Way outside the scope of the project?
I had several people tell me in the Destiny OT that none of the Halo's had coop lag.

It's the Destiny OT.

Your Spartan turns the Oddball around every so often to give it a peck on the cheek and make sure it's doing okay, obviously.

Can someone explain to me this "input lag" you say is so bad? I remember playing Halo 3 campaign online with 3 other friends and don't recall having an issue with that. Or am I just being a dense "junior member?"
Something I noticed
Holy wow...is that Warlock?
Oh no I didn't think you meant to pick an argument. I just have a weird tendency to over explain my opinion... a lot. Gotta work on that.
It is backwards though yes. I find it odd that it's gotten to the point where we suspect ADS in any form being in future Halos. Halo is something that I NEVER imagined having ADS. It just isn't that kind of game and there's even a reason within the lore that justifies the lack of ADS.
Yes. YES. PLEASE BE A THING IN THE US.
