All CA does is leech off Halo. How about the devs make their own maps?

WHERE IS THE AMMO IN MP?
Could the game designers be anymore incompetent. I'm punished if I go on a killing spree and run out of ammo because the guns disappear.

Looks like Vortex.

Ammo perk. Pain in the ass. Especially since i started using the Carbine and no one else does

Seems to be a theme with CA maps. Similar styles every time.

I'm just curious but what's the big deal about this issue? Steitzer is already incredibly talkative in this game and I'm not sure why him being on replays is so important.

Shouldn't have to use a perk.

Nope, I have that issue all the time. With both personal and global. It's probably the actual bug I have the biggest issue with so far.

Carbine has a great rate of fire but it's so weak and rarely beats a DMR. How do you deal?
I've been sticking with Lightrifle recently and really enjoy it.

You shouldnt. But you do.
Unless your using the DMR like everyone else in the game.

Ive been getting some good results with it so far. Only in small team games though. Team Regicide, IS Slayer some Capture the Flag maps etc. The rate of fire is a bit jarring at first, but once you start landing the majority of the shots in the head, i regularly beat out DMRs. Anyone else find the reload to be slow? Even with Dexterity? Maybe its just me.
Anything Big Team and its suicide using the Carbine. Which is a shame because i love the gun. Got the Rogue Carbine skin too so it looks awesome too.
Really wish i could compete with it in Big Team or Dominion but its just nowhere near the level of the DMR
Really cool, can't wait to play it.

It's the GAF skin, I use it constantly for Spartan Ops now.
The fact that it is still a default on Valhalla is so disappointing. Couple that with the fact it can be dropped as personal ordnance... Ugh
Really.
I see two sides to this, people who bitch about how much Steitzer talks, and people who bitch about not hearing him in film clips.
Make up your mind people.
I'm more disappointed in the CSR than the customer.

hahaha
Too bad we can't choose the weapons to hold in our stances. Gaf Carbine + Believe stance...
Nice, go post in it.
I prefer it at close range, maps like Haven and Abandon with short sight lines.

With all the CoD-like maps (human industrial buildings) and forerunner structure, it'd be refreshing to see a map with zero buildings
only rock, wood, water, lava and the spartans, their weapons and vehicles
Has there ever been a MP map in any shooter with only natural formations?
Can't think of one tbh

That was really my point. Thats how bad the customer support is. Delete the profile twice, clear the cache twice... Good god.
He hasnt been able to use either of the three maps. Shame.

Because...
Ammo is only an issue if you're doing well with long range combat. It's the only counter to DMRing from a mile away that 343 bothered to implement and I'm glad it's there.
I'm not a big fan of the power weapons disappearing so soon and I wish there was a marker indicating where the power weapons drop when someone dies (which would make dynamic focal points out of anywhere in a match).
You can teleport a power weapon to your very location at least once or twice a match...do you really need an ammo box to hide around while you're playing this game? I can't imagine how much worse some of these maps would play out if the game design promoted more hanging back and waiting for the aggressor than it already does.
If you're having an issue with ammo, use the ammo perk. This is the very concept of having perks in a game. Your allies are dying, dropping two guns at a time. Your enemies are dying, dropping two guns at a time. You started with enough bullets to kill 5 people. Of all the things to complain about...
Why not add them in Post? That actually seems to be the preferred method for me. You could add only the ones you want. (Jeff is pretty talkative)
You could even add in Wehrer's.
because it's such a pain in the ass.
Which is exactly what I use. Doesn't make it any more balanced. If you're going up against a Gauss Hog, and you have your Plasma Pistol and two stickies ready, realistically he's going to kill you around the same time you EMP them. You might be able to get a sticky off, but unless their Warthog is already damaged, it's unlikely to kill them in the first blow.
Now before you shout "Use teamwork!", let's be real - most, if any, go into Big Team or Dominion with a full team of 6 or 8. Even if you're using teamwork, a decently skilled player in the Gauss cannon will at least be able to trade kills. Either way, the probability of going against a Gauss Hog with a Plasma Pistol and Stickies versus being the Gauss gunner and living is infinitely smaller.
The same can be applied to the Scorpion as well. The Banshee not so much, for I feel it is far easily to destroy. But again, you can't sit there and say "just start with PP and stickies bro", because realistically that isn't the completely balanced solution. And this isn't even factoring in players with the Operator perk.

I spent an extra 2 hours editing top 5 to add them in. Its not preferred.
Ask any montage editor and they will agree.
Why not drive on just rims? Add the tires in post.

Have you played any other Halo games?
Isn't it easier to take the whole clip and capture the time-span, that you need?
I do a similar job as the CSR in question, so seeing stuff like that is just...ugh.
Maybe you should get Computron to add them for you since he seems so keen on the idea and since it's a non-issue for his website's top 5.

That would literally add days to the amount of time I spend capturing. I capture a lot of clips besides what ends up in the top 5.
Also no one saves the whole film. There is a workaround; if you clip a clip without rewinding the original film in theater it plays the announcer but almost no one knows or does that when submitting.
And I dont want to make this a selfish thing either, though it inconveniences me, it also effects hundreds of thousands through halo content, not just THC videos.

Who is Wehrer? And again, why does this matter?
Was expecting something like this. I know, you guys are busy and you are doing a great job.
Wasn't even thinking about, how many people submit a clip. Must be a lot.
It matters enough to be a celebrated feature of the game. I really enjoy the sound of killing sprees narations myself.
Wehrer Machine spliced together some steitzer clips in some amusing ways earlier this week.

To make it sound natural and not edited in, yes it takes hours. Not to mention the variety of medals in halo 4. Not to mention the initial effort to get the sound clips necessary without ingame background noise.
Another part of the problem is inconsistency, some clips don't have the problem and some do.
How are you doing it? Do you use scripts/macros? I find it hard to believe that adding in some sound clips to start on the frames where you first see the medal takes 2 hours to do for 5 clips.
I believe you could eliminate most background noise by pulsing the trigger in Theater mode so that the clip starts playing, then let go of the trigger so the other background noises stop.
I am not sure though, I will have to check. Otherwise, you could allways try taking the imperfect clips and cleaning them up in audtion or some other app. Another option would be extracting the actual files off the disc if you know how.
Once you got the clean files, it shouldn't be too hard to comp in realistically.
:-/
I guess the existence of a obscure workaround would only make it more annoying that the glitch is present.
WTF? You sound agitated.
I am only offering a possible solution, I am not advocating that they shouldn't fix the glitch or at least offer an option for it.
It seems to me like having the extra control of doing it in post would almost certainly be a good option, I don't remember having the option in any previous halo game.
Especially considering all the people who complain of him saying to much and want him to only announce specific streak medals.

What are the dream kill times for weapons as they currently exist?
My list, in seconds:
1.4 Carbine & Light Rifle (Scoped)
1.5 BR
1.6 DMR
1.7 Light Rifle (Default)
This maintains weapon choice as a function of playstyle, rather than DMR all day long.

This happens far too much, especially when you're playing a game with a poor connection and shots are mysteriously eaten up like a sock in a dryer. Another reason to have a baseline resupply call-down if we're going to have to deal with Personal Ordnance from now on.
