If you wan't to delete your profile though you must sign off,redownload your profile(if it says it can't at the moment,try again it will allow you at some point),sign in after downloading(no other option) and than sign out again and now you will be able to delete it.

From Halo Waypoint:

We pushed out what we're hoping will be a fix approximately ten minutes ago. If you were affected by this issue, could you reset your console and attempt to connect, please? Thank you in advance.

I'm finally able to connect again, hopefully you can too.

 

[Tawpgun]

Pretty much. Those aren't changes, they're a different game.

Nope. It's fixing glaring issues.

Vehicles are death traps. This is the primary issue right now.

BTB objective would alleviate the personal drop issue.

DMR is probably a pipe dream. All im saying is the BTB pinging is annoying. BTB was a lot more fun in Halo 3 and 2.

 

[enzo_gt]

DMR is fine people, twitch is the real issue that needs to be fixed and changed to descope instead. It makes Halo, which has grown to be more and more rifle-oriented instead of promoting diversity only go further in that direction, despite some concessions (ordnance notably) being made to promote diversity otherwise.

I just don't see 343 banning specific items from loadouts in this loadout-centric game. I figure 343 will stick to their guns when it comes to their specific changes to the formula. That still leaves room for tweaks, but nothing that will completely cancel out their new systems.

 

[TheOddOne]

Anything to reduce Exile's and Ragnarock's dominace over the BTB playlist is a good thing. I've only played Meltdown twice, and Vortex a handful of times. Barely anyone votes for the best map in the game either (Longbow).

Brofist.

Custom loadouts are banned in Slayer Pro. Same in Team Snipes and SWAT.

If 343 sticks to their guns regarding BTB loadouts then BTB is fucked. Their stubborness will be what kills it.

But who knows. People voted for fucking Cragmire in Reach so fuck logic.

Exile is the best map (in before name quote), but Longbow is my second favorite.

Good point. I haven't tried any matches in those playlists yet.

If you are having connection issues ask David Ellis for some help over twitter:



He can do as much as he can, so if he doesn't reply to your tweet check up on people he did reply on (maybe the question has already been answerd).

LOL
Do you really think they are even considering this?

There is even a perk to reduce the feature. It's a core change to the game that you should just learn to accept if you have any hope of enjoying 4. I think they'd be closer to doing a damage tweak to the gun WAY before twitch changes would even be considered.

BTB is currently the most populated playlist; I doubt a considerable re-balance is coming anytime soon.

I agree with this. A damage change or rate of fire change is more likely.

 

[Raide]

343, any chance you can add all those pretty boxes and decorative bits in your maps to the Forge Decoration section? Would be nice to build a map and disguise the relative blandness with some pretty eye-candy and shiny doodads. Please.

Fuck I forgot about this.

Damn you scrubby masses. I bet you all voted for Cragmire too.

 

[User 73706]

Harvest is a canon concept brought to life...

OH 343 YOU SCAMP

 

[CitizenCope]

Maps look pretty decent, great for BTB fans but not so much for everybody else.

=D
I'll take them thank you very much.

 

[Psychoward]

BTB is currently the most populated playlist; I doubt a considerable re-balance is coming anytime soon.

I think that's mainly because of the player amount though, and how BTB leads itself to more of a casual-party-type playlist. I'm sure the population would still remain high if they at least take out personal ordnance.

Then they would be changing their game just for the sake of change. This is how they wanted it so, unless they plan on making a Pro BTB variant, it'll be balanced with ordnance in mind or not at all.

Make it a separate pro playlist.

Make it a separate pro playlist.

With 400 players.

Yes I can .We have made it through somehow lol.

 

[zlatko]

Kind of shitty quality, but does anyone's Spartan actually look like this color wise? That shade of red and black aren't what you guys see right? (curious if my TV is shitty, or if this color tone never made the final cut)

 

[Deadstar]

I agree that a lot of these maps look the same. What a shame. Also, why aren't the forge maps in any of the playlists?

Also, David Ellis, can you add a BTB objective mode playlist. Thanks.

 

[_woLf]

Their maps have too much smog/fog/dust in them. Boring.

Also the trailer for the new DLC reminds me how bad the music is in Halo 4.

Just finished my solo Legendary run. I actually found the campaign quite enjoyable.

Was it just me or did it get easier as you progressed through it?

Are you talking about the top or bottom picture? In team games my Spartan looks like the guys on bottom. In FFA, your custom colors aren't overwritten, so maybe that's why his a such a dark shade of red.

And my god, the UI in that gif is miles better than what we got in the final game. It's also runs at a decent frame rate, something the game struggles to do in the [I]menus[/I].

In the top gif I mean the dark shade of red is not in game from the red options. Plus the darkness of the black and how it pops seems different from the final version.

I don't have comparison pics to show what I mean though.

EDIT: Above pic show cases what I mean. First ones show bold black, but the in game stuff seems faded now.

Yeah, it was probably something that was changed prior to the games release. Notice how the presentation is completely different from what's in the final game, as well. Color tones were probably something 343 fiddled with after that gif was released.

Probably had to do with some of the comments I saw referring to the Spartans looking too plasticy.

[cool_dude_2049]

I hate that there are still a considerable amount of people who don't know how to play objective games. It's king of the hill and people are either waiting for vehicles to respond or are camping the other side of the map far from the hill, which is causing teammates to spawn even further from it.

[Partition]

Lord 343 really seems to have a hard time making good maps. At this point I'd rather they just remake maps than try adding new ones...

When I play those game types, half the time im playing to win and the other half I'm fucking around...... Sorry, bro.

Wonder if the maps are made by certain affinity.

 

[Raide]

Well, they certainly seem as cluttered as the Forge maps, so it seems possible.

 

[Deadstar]

It's a little disheartening that the best map in Halo 4 is a remake of a map from Reach. Maybe that's a little harsh, Exile is pretty cool. It took me forever to learn what map is which because meltdown and vortex looked so similar.

I'm trying to get 15 more wins before month's end, and I'm able to single-handedly win KOTH games for the most part. Everyone is too busy playing slayer so I sneak around. But today was pretty bad and my teammates were betraying me and camping strange places.

 

[Psychoward]

The vanilla BTB maps have a ton of clutter as well though.

I've yet to even play on Meltdown thanks to the jack off circle that is Ragnarok.

The Raganarok spam seems to of slowed down, for me at least. People are starting to realize Exile is better

just give me waterworks,headlong,containment,relic, terminal back

fuck it just release halo 2 anniversary already.

I played six games if Exile in a row yesterday. The curse was only broken by Ragnarok showing up.

I think a lot has to do with the diffuse lighting they're using as a method of low-cost graphic fidelity.

 

[Korosenai]

Harvest makes me sad. It just looks so bland and boring. Wasted opportunity.

That one green map looks pretty cool though (it does kind of look like Vortex 2.0), hopefully it plays well. Definitely the most visually appealing map out of the bunch.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I wonder if they have any plans for another edition of the Halo Encyclopedia? I saw the current edition at Barnes and Nobles and loved the layout, art, schematics, information, etc. Really nice book and would order the damn thing off Amazon if I had the monies.

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

So can you or can't you eventually boot people? If so, how many strikes does it take? I got team killed twice by the same guy because I had a sniper rifle...

 

[Crazyorloco]

I just finished solo legendary as well and I feel the same...I had a lot of trouble with the first 5 levels, the later levels are easier.

I've been able to boot people who splattered me the first second of the match
