Just played Pro on Haven. Nice touches like coloring the sides. Lost by one point because time expired (would have tied it) and my partner went -14. I should have babysit him more, but I was more pressed to get Railgun and Sticky Detonator kills, both of which I'm trying to get commendations for, and both of which spawned regularly and in the same places.
BRs and Needlers were lying around the map too.Mostly rhetorical, but also curious. Swat is also a joke at this point in time. A rotational playlist not getting the axe, when they claim that the population wants it even though it can barely manage 1/4 of IS at peak hours.
Naa, I don't think so. It had rings around it. Kinda like the planet near Reach.
...
I took that as a team getting readings of what happened to the people in the city more than anything... scanning for energy readings and such. Not really sure how Cortana would be involved in that specifically.
Worst video game character.
Sarah Palmer from Halo 4
vs.
Rico Velaquez from Killzone
Who can claim the crown?
Naa, I don't think so. It had rings around it. Kinda like the planet near Reach.

Never really noticed it before, but in the epilogue of Halo 4 it shows marines touching down in a human city with a metal case. It then shows the marines scanning debris on the ground..
Possible hint to Cortana surviving somehow?
You're not thinking of all the funtential.
The rock smash was a nice touch but it wasn't that brutal. It just kind of crumbled apart like dust upon impact.
It'll never work out, cut your losses and move on.
I think non-Infinity gametypes should be looked at under a different lens when making judgments on playlist culling. They are their own animal, and should be treated as such. In the times I've been playing, SWAT has one of the higher populations outside of Infinity, so I understand why it's still around.
The only way I'd concede to merged playlists again is if it were handled better than it has been in previous Halos. Rotate CTF, Oddball, and KOTH regularly so each round would be about voting for the map, not a gametype/map combo.
Oooh yes, I see it now. Couldn't remember that being so similar haha.
It's not exactly the same, but the pattern of circles around the outside the planet are extremely similar, plus both show the planet itself in blue surrounded by the outer shell in yellow.
Ahhh, that makes sense. Still shocked about the ending haha. Looking for ways that 343i might use to bring her back
At this point, the alternative is having multiple core objective gametypes, one of which was a series staple, completely unavailable in standard matchmaking. I think that it's totally unacceptable that KOTH and Extraction aren't in standard (non-DLC) matchmaking. Oddball won't survive many more cuts with the 2% of the total concurrent population it pulls, so the casualties will only get higher if this model continues. At some point you've got to merge and execute the weightings as best as possible, especially when the gametypes in question don't have enough maps that they work well on to support themselves and aren't able to maintain a population.
I know that's English, but I can't understand any of that shit.
I think it's inevitable that there will be a merge of some kind, I just hope it's handled better than any Objective playlist has been in the past. As long as every gametype gets equal playtime, it might be a good thing.
Rotational playlists are a joke if they remain permanent, regardless of population. Even though Swat and Team Regicide are arguably two of the best playlists, even I would take them out for a week or two. Heck, look at Halo 3 and what Grifball did. It was the most popular playlist, primarily because of the exclusivity factor. Swat has shown the same tendencies. When it first came out and it was higher than IS. Now that people know that it's going to be there forever, it's dropped significantly. As for the bolded, I highly doubt 343 would do that, seeing as the way they "tested" what was more popular between TU and Vanilla Reach was to just have slot 1 be TU and slot 2 be Vanilla and a random mish-mash of maps between the two. I'd vote for TU unless it was Uncaged or Enclosed, which breaks their either/or logic.
Of course I'm going to wait before making a final decision, but right now switching is a serious consideration. Microsoft is obviously taking the Nextbox in a different direction then what I want it for - they're turning it into an entertainment centre, where as I just want to play games... and as it stands, the PS4 sounds to be better equipped at doing so. If Sony has redesigned the controller, multiplayer remains free and its specs are as powerful as they're rumoured to be, then there's no doubt in my mind that I'll buy the PS4 instead of a Xbox.
Yeah... I want to buy the new Xbox, but they've got to give a reason why I should.
Naa, I don't think so. It had rings around it. Kinda like the planet near Reach.

The first time they try to open a portal after on Requiem, it fails but then it just opens up (Cortana even looks suprised). My guess is that they were lead there by the Librarian.
It's rumoured to be using 8GB of DDR3... They'd really need to switch it for something faster rather than just adding more.
Would it be that easy
