Just got into a Big Game Bomb run match that was completely full.... and watched pretty everyone NOT do the actual objective but instead DM it up....
Sigh...

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
The new OT title is flawless. Good work, whoever came up with that.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
btb is my favorite in halo and it is broken
back to halo 1 slayer

I'm not sure, but I think that players pretending that Objective is actually slayer means that #weback

Every playlist but BTB finds matches quickly, which is rather confusing given that all it's looking for is a measly 6 extra people and half the time it's just guests anyway.
Having not played a Halo game sincethe original Xbox, I had a blast this evening playing H2:A multiplayer. I'd forgotten how "different" Halo feels to other, more modern shooters. So much jumping, for one, and grenades!
My kill/death ratio was awful for the most part, but I couldn't wipe the smile of my face.

Having never played Halo 2 Classic except campaign until tonight I have to say...why would anyone have enjoyed this?
The amount of inconsistency is ridiculous. I guess at the time there was nothing to pick from for a console shooter but there must be some serious rose tinted glasses going on. Thank goodness for Anniversary for it.
I would shoot someone with BR right on the noodle 3-5 times, and no shield drop or kill, but I'd get shot 2-3 times and die everytime....wtf?

I thought the same thing too, but then I learned that you need to lead your shots. Drastically changed things for me in Halo 2 Classic MP. I used to be a huge anti-BR person.
I dunno, I don't think judging it with this broken release of a product is a fair comparison. I don't quite remember anything being as bad as it is here.
SWAT was one of the best game types in Halo 4.

I feel Halo 4 shined in Big Team Battle (Legendary type, Infinity BTB wasn't bad but it was clearly inferior to Legendary, which is more old school Halo), Ricochet, Flood and SWAT. The more competitive hardcore gametypes and Team Slayer were not as good.

Post Title update when the BR became 4 shot kill again was when Halo 4 became a GREAT competitive game if you removed most of the Armor Abilities/Perks

The big problem was that the team slayer maps aren't that great, the BTB maps were pretty well done though!

Absolutely however Skyline is one of the best maps ever made imo (It's just andamn shame it never appears in rotation because it was a dlc map)

Well...once they get everything up to par in this collection, now it will!

Hell, Halo 4 SWAT is just straight up one of the best game types in the series, IMO. The rest of the game may not measure up, but H4 SWAT can compete with the best of them.

This is the greatest thing I've seen today.
Also lag. Lag ruined everything.
Once dedis are fully working in MCC, this game will be played forever.

IIRC, there's something about the Halo 3 Elite models that unbalances SWAT. Something about deceptive hitboxes.
Didn't Bungie say that it was bull years back?
Isn't it because of the lack of Halo 3 Forge options?

One of the things wrong with Team SWAT right now is uneven teams. Most games in SWAT start with 3v3 or 4v4 and then chances are one other person joins (which is odd considering the max 8 player limit) making it 4v3 or 5v4.
Some of my most recent clips (the first 8 being SWAT): http://xboxclips.com/DestiniesReqium
Really wish they would get the Dedicated Servers on, because when there is lag in Team SWAT, you feel it much more. When a match is laggy, you sometimes have to pop 3 BR bursts into a person's head. The Halo Championship Series playlist has been remarkably smooth for the most part.

Could be. I'm honestly not sure, just relating something I've heard.
Something about not having maps without equipment, right? Heard that as well.

Just had a monster 5 hour session with friends. 1 hour of Co-op campaign, and 4 hrs of Big Team Battle. Found matches relatively quickly, no crashes, a huge variety of maps, not much lag, loads of laughs.
Just need dedis and some kind of quitter solution. Game shoulda been delayed a month but what can you do.
We almost back.

It's worked consistently for me and 1 other friend since last Friday. I've tried getting other friends to play, but they won't until the game is fully 100% functional.
It still has weird hiccups though even when playing with 2 in a party.
Mostly it works. Sometimes it falls apart completely. Try getting a party of 4 into BTB in the UK, it ain't happening.
Just posted this on the Halo Community Thread:
So yes, I can agree with this statement.
sometimes.
Yellow bar on P2P is killing me, seriously I have good internet, let me host PLEASE.
Dedicated servers just sitting there like what, glad that Microsoft aren't using Halo: MCC in their azure server adverts.....
