Typically yes, they don't like to add take away bandwidth for the game, but if the dedicated servers are true then it's more plausible, but still not so much as the costs for dedicated servers + live streaming for 20million players would be crazy.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic or you didn't hear what was said yesterday...
Yeah, pretty much. Although I would love if multiple people could view a video in Theater again like Halo 3 had. I'm still really hyped though. So hyped that my main concern is that 3 months is a long time :/

The first few loops of this GIF I thought it was from a movie where a giant monster attacks a city and these people were looking at it and panicking.
Halo-Related Portion: Please just get the gameplay right and take care of your playlists in a timely manner 343. That's all I ask.
No, it does not. I could imagine, with twitch.tv comming to Xbox Live, that you are going to be able to stream directly from your Xbox.
It's not like it is impossible...
I don't have a problem with that.
Like Duncan said, probably 98% don't care about a special feature. However, people here care, because they enjoy the competitive side of games.

Ok, I'm not usually one to do this, but holy shit does MS/343 need to step their game up. I had completely written off COD, but this is becoming something that I think most gamers SHOULD support. COD is starting to do everything right, and it's frightening. (assuming this is all correct of course).

Halo Fans consist of:
Campaign fans
Lore fans
Machinima fans and creator
Forger,
Speed runner
Co-Op guys
competitive fans
And they are definitely some I forgot. I do not think Call Of Duty has such a variety of communities. 343i has to satisfy them all.

It's a shame the Halo franchise isn't funded by such an affluent software conglomerate.

The entitlement in this thread is suffocating.
In my day, we had to walk 5 miles through the stroke-inducing heat of Texas (which lasts about 9 months) and fight the hungry, angry bobcat in front of Montgomery Ward so we could sift through the Atari and Intellivision games to pick the ones with the best cover art, or at least the titles we remembered from the back cover of a comic book. That was a game developer's marketing strategy, and we embraced it for what it was (never understood the whole bobcat fighting thing, but the point is I learned how to ride a bobcat at an early age).
Now you little bastards jump all over a developer when the gameplay pictures, videos, and opinions of regular and professional gamers who got to play a version of the game 4-5 months early isn't nearly enough for your goldfish-like brains.
I blame Jimmy Carter.

It's not as if streaming isn't becoming a massive part of pro player's presence. More people are getting their hands on capture cards and their own setups. Is it really in 343's interest to directly combat that market? Would any pro player use an in-game kit over their own unique one?
Spectator mode and the unlocked stuff is definitely an issue. I'm just strictly talking about the streaming thing.

You actually think that was a serious post? smh

PS2 video game ads in comic books are the best. Er, WERE the best.
I vividly remember some ad with a goofy looking skeleton, never got that game.
We're old.
This is the best post. THE BEST POST.
Totally fine to care and want things. I wouldn't mind a spectator and YouTube options. But when people start saying they aren't listening and demanding to know why their feature that "everyone" wants is when it gets ridiculous.
i had my doubts shush
Yep, because that's exactly how resource management works.

At this rate plywood's going to have a higher post count than his bandwidth intake.
Just like 343 since they don't have a spectator mode, mirite?

Because it's cheaper? I mean, I know if I could stream from in game I would. A lot of the people who do stream aren't pros, and a lot of people who have a shitload of viewers aren't pros either.
(not arguing with you, just giving a different perspective)
Yes, but they do eliminate host advantage.

Who are you and what are you on about? I'm talking about my post, not Stinklez' "go to sleep early" post. Reading comprehension: how does it work?

Yep, the salt-drenched few are truly the defenders and (not so) silent protectors of our community. Let us bow our heads for a moment in silent reflection.....
