EazyB cleansed the best junior wave as Lake Minnetonka. There hasn't been a good junior wave since.

So much want.
Nooooooooo.
Meh.
But Infinity is already a permanent playlist.
Action Sack seems pretty lame.
Damn that's good, what did you get for H4, I might trade that shit in if I get 20 or more bucks for it.

The ability to have no Flagnum on flag pickups is new, right?
Now they just need better content to match.

Action Sack!
Or they did the Speedflag trick of attaching the flag to the player biped, while never truly picking it up as a weapon.

Yeah likewise, my first reaction seeing everything was "hmm okay interview like usual holy wow yes"
As a graphic design major the revised bulletin is a major step in the right direction.
Maybe for this upcoming one. Even then, does a melee act like a flag melee or a LR melee? I know in the old one, at least the flag melee is considered a weapon. I don't know if it counts the flagnum as a flag kill or a magnum kill. I might check that out real quick.
EDIT: It counts it as a magnum kill. I wouldn't be surprised to see that they just swap the weapons while carrying the flag.
If they just glued it to the biped then it'll be an LR melee recorded
I think 32 and 34 for blops. I think I got more for trading it towards TR and I have a power card.

I would have thought the way the eye-pieces look too far seperated for him to see properly would have bugged you more.
Glad that Action Sack is there for people that like that stuff. I might actually be able to get the Believe stance soon with a reliable source of Binary Rifle kills. I don't know that bringing AS back would be high on my priority list right now given the experiences available in matchmaking currently, but I can only hope that them making new gametypes like the Light Rifle CTF thing means that we can someday get Assault and 1 Flag back. The real issue I have is that crap like Infinity CTF is probably going to stick around even after Action Sack goes up even though they offer the same type of wacky random play, and that gametype ruined a playlist for me.
It counts as a magnum kill. I have 149 magnum kills in CTF and it's in none of my loadouts.

Hey, today Halo 4 is 4 months old. Today we still have glitches like sounds that only sometimes play, guns that only sometimes shoot, connection quality indicators that only sometimes appear, matches that only sometimes have opponents, and a game that is only sometimes fun when it isn't absolutely fucking shitting the bed. Piece of fucking trash.
Halo 3 OT will forever be the best HaloGAF has ever been. RIP the golden days
It's almost like it takes time to build playlists

On a scale from empty to full, you are spilling over with umad right now. It's hilarious.
A shopped statue of a dictator wasn't the only thing torn down that day
;_;
Picture is awesome.
It's alright. It highlights the poor job they did with the Mark VI helmet model though.
I agree with you up until the shitting the bed and trash part. The game is still decent and funner than Reach was, IMO.
How? At first glance I thought this was from Halo 3.
I went from imad to idon'tgiveafuckanymore somewhere around mid December

Do you have any insight on this? Because to me, in a simplified sense, just load up the default gametypes on the default maps and have at it.
Unless BTB objective is going to be pre-set loadouts, actually fun/balanced BTB
In which case, let them take their time.
I think for this analogy that means your cup of umad tipped over? Or maybe it fell off the table.
This analogy isn't open to interpretation FRACAS.
Nah he just drank it.
I'm the opposite. Maybe it was Reach not being great, but I played that game regularly up until the launch of Halo 4, I can't play more than 2-3 games of infinity slayer before quitting in frustration. Though I'm mad at the game less and less. December was the worst, the screwup of the map pack, the lag issues, spartan ops first half of season, made playing the game a chore almost.
With doubles pro, throwdown and majestic, I'm finding myself enjoying the game more. For me, it's the randomness I cannot stand. I despise boltshot and yet I use it myself for that very reason.
I'm curious what their approach will be when they "focus on improving and freshening up the existing playlists." I wonder if this means new-new gametypes, or new-classic gametypes, or a culling of the lists we have now. Now is a weird time for them to be way above their ideal playlist count, since we're seeing peak population numbers that are very alarming (we're at a point where the numbers match my recollection of the Reach playlist populations on a given night).
One would hope that you'd get a slimmed down experience without plasma pistols and plasma grenades everywhere, but I don't think that's in the cards for a playlist aimed at the general population.
Would you really want to play the default objective gametypes with 16 people? I'd think, or hope, they're taking the time to make significant modifications to either the gametypes or the maps to make them work. I wouldn't really want to play a CTF variant where the second I pick up the flag, 8 people are going to be pointing DMRs at the fat waypoint over my head. In the same vein, a lot of those BTB maps don't have really well-defined bases or team-specific map sections (thinking specifically of Vortex here, where it uses the weird little structures on either end of the map lengthwise as bases). I'd imagine that it'd end up being CTF (hopefully modified), Extraction (3 sites?), and then they can fold Dominion into that playlist since it hasn't been doing too hot for a long while now.

I would have sold 4 if it weren't for throwdown
Everything you just said isn't even whats wrong with the game. The game has major balancing and management issues, not whether or not a sound of a gun shooting sound funky for .5 of second every few matches.
Frankie gave me the GOD version, so yea.
nice.
you must have given him quite the blowie for it
