No. He doesn't get a paycheck. He just uses Bravo's ATM card whenever he needs cash.
I don't think there's a muzzle on Frankie or anyone else over at Microsoft. There's just nothing he can add to the conversation here. He certainly shouldn't be expected to come here and defend the game. If we take him at his word that he's proud of what he and his team have accomplished, what is there for him to add in a thread where their efforts are criticized nonstop?

I'm getting real sick of the Boltshot in Slayer.
These stats are just slayer, no Capture The Flag or Oddball or any other game mode. I don't know if there's a way to view weapon stats over-all on Waypoint.

There's not a way to view overall weapon stats.

343: ditch AAs and make X the trash-talk button.

Yeah, that's not happening. Infinity Slayer is not going to be changed other than tweaks. Slayer Pro however can be all of this.
Was sick and had finals this entire week so I haven't been on Xbox. I am actually really excited to play Halo 4 tomorrow which is surprising. Gonna play so much of the Forge playlist and I still need to beat the new Spartan Ops episode. Also excited for AGL. Gonna be a good 3 day weekend.

I guess the idea was they would eventually bend to popular whim.

Perhaps people is taking too seriously this:
(And I have seen more people that want or are neutral to ranks, than against them... , then again is more likely that only a handful of decisions can be influenced by the community and so far it seems ranks are not one of them.)
This weeks bulletin reminds me... when was the last community playdate? or play with 343? They did one every month with Reach...
I miss them. Even when I've only participated in two.

For any juniors who are here just to talk to Frankie (all of you), there's a Godzilla-like way to summon him from the depths of whatever he is doing. Just use this gif!
Not that I'm going to play (I'm not) but out of curiosity if I asked to play with you, would you say yes or no?

It's been a huge inconvenience to get Halo 2 (PC) running but I've resolved to 100% the achievements before they shut it down. I was just commenting the other day to Stephen about how every Halo title was still playable online. It was a nice idea while it lasted.
Played some small matches on Warlock and Midship, and it felt great, like playing a higher resolution and higher framerate version of the console game, although the framerate is inconsistent, and there's no option to lock it like in Halo PC. But the controller support is excellent, even making use of the headset port. I plugged in my old Plantronics Halo 2 headset for old times' sake.
The Campaign is a lot easier on Legendary when the framerate is higher, too.
I don't remember the movement speed in Halo 2 being so slow. Halo 4 definitely feels faster, but that could just be because of Sprint.

Wider FOV playing tricks on you. Halo 2 was in SD.

Found this on Halo Waypoint from rukizzel.
"TU coming next month - details will be released after the TU is live to not inform people of exploits" - Thought that would interest you most, if they have no plans on releasing details on it until after it is released, then don't expect anything like a Boltshot nerf or a DMR nerf or all that stuff.

Ninja trying to make sense of things lol.....
...so put a boilerplate "fixes various exploits related to X and X and X elements," line like every other developer does when putting out patch notes? You don't have to give step-by-step reproduction instructions, or if you're that worried, just don't say what they're related to at all. Balance changes not even being hinted at up front out of fear that exploits will increase as a result is ridiculous, especially when there is nothing tying the two subjects together except this misguided notion that if one is going to be talked about ahead of time, the other has to be so it doesn't feel left out.
Maybe I'm missing something, but it makes no sense to give zero information instead of some information, at least not for the reasons they're giving. Opacity doesn't really benefit anyone.

You goto waypoint twitters and its like oh we got a new spartan ops episode
NOBODY PLAYS THAT SHIT!
Lol this shit is hilarious and TRUE.

I was thinking the same thing.
When it's not just hardcore Halo fans complaining about the randomness... :|
I completely agree.
And I'll go even further and say that it's stupid to say that about the TU. Most of people are not asking about bug fixes, but about balancing the game.. Talking about that wouldn't hurt. Not talking about it, however...
The Henery laying down the smackdown as usual.
I forgot about that. He got a lot of slack from people who had no clue. 343 laughed at him saying they couldn't do it, but then when they did it, well... they had to break LAN compatibility - something Bungie never did.
Yeah. Dot maps.
Hopefully all that cool gear, etc that 343 shipped you to help with your community's tournament can help.
that wasn't shipped to me.

RIP Halo.
also agl starts in like 3 hours (?) - http://www.twitch.tv/arenagamingleague
You egghead.
btw I can tell from the way you've linked things I've said in other threads twice in halogaf, you totally have a crush on me
Nah, see what I've gathered is that a majority of people dislike me for my radical opinions on things that aren't Halo.

Dude, it might not be as simple as that. I mean Frankie said how hard it was to make a Halo game; maybe adding BPRCSR into the game is just too technically difficult and a bridge too far for them?
Agreed. It's a remarkable change of tack from 343 too. Months before Reach's TU, possible changes were being touted by the company. Fall damage? Sword block? Bleed through? Now, a mere month before the first major TU in their own game, the proposed changes are shrouded in secrecy, which is fine concerning glitches and exploits but I'd have thought they'd have shed some light on at least some of the sandbox changes with only four weeks to go.
I've seen some of your comments non-Halo related and I've never felt that they were that radical. You atleast put in the effort to explain why you feel a certain way (which are usually sound points), I can't say that for many bait-and-switch posters around GAF.
With all this doom and gloom, I'm still exited for Spartan Ops next week. Yeah, don't stone me guys. Guys.
CTF game on Adrift
Oh how I love being thrown in games against full parties. Especially when they cap a few flags and just spend the rest of the match just spawn killing you (I joined the match late and managed to go 10-7... which is pretty shitty, but not too bad in comparison to my team mates I guess). Twas frustrating because they weren't terribly good in a 1v1 situation... It's just that most times you were fighting 3+ at a time.
I actually ran into that "Nooo itz sleek" guy yesterday and a bit before that too. Surprisingly enough, he was in a full party then as well... doing the same thing. I don't usually care that much, but after being put in games against him and his party a few times I can't help but think what a jackass he is. I wish the avoid feature worked properly.

There have got to be just bug fixes and such that would not influence any gameplay at all that they could tell us about.
