[Rickenslacker]

Sigh... I can already tell I'm going to be down another controller. Me no likely when dude with popped shield doesn't die from my grenade 3 feet away.

If you're just churning through controllers could you throw one my way? I'm sure your arm can manage the distance if you get some Hulk rage goin'.

 

[BeekleMatter]

Team slayer pro <3

If you havent tried it, do it.

 

[MaDGaMEZ]

we must make sure you can't have too much fun

Yup played some oddball, was getting 5000 xp regularly with double xp. Now I reached the limit so I am taking the rest of the night off. Sucks, why do double xp if your going to limit it.

 

[MaDGaMEZ]

Infinity Slayer is a cluster fuck. Slayer Pro is boring. There's nothing for me here currently. Can't I just have some old fashioned Team Slayer?

Im no good without radar so a playlist like slayer pro but with radar would be perfect, then just turn slayer pro into MLG.

 

[Ajemsuhgao]

I never understood the bitching about Camo as an AA in Reach. I never played a game where it was an issue.

But now? Fuck. Infinity Slayer, 2v4. ENTIRE OTHER TEAM had camo. So it was camo sniper, camo sword, camo rockets, etc. And on Complex.


I hate Mondays.

 

[The Antitype]

Seriously though, why is the game showing me a red reticule and hash marks if I'm missing? What's the point?

I'm pretty sure a shield should pop within 8 registered body-shots from a DMR.

First time in my life I've been eager for CoD to come out and kill a Halo population dead.

 

[J10]

Im no hood without radar so a playlist like slayer pro but with radar would be perfect, then just turn slayer pro into MLG.

I don't enjoy playing without motion tracker either. But I don't mind SOME Armor Abilities. There's a possible sweet spot in there that none of the current playlists are hitting.

 

[Gray Man]

JIP should be an option, like, I want to start with a fair and even game so get me a new game instead of joining in progress. I want that choice of being able to cast my vote for a map.

 

[Devolution]

Antitype is going for a triple kill?

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

I'm pretty sure you can jump over a plasma grenade as it's exploding and it won't even take your shields down. It's like they halved the kill radius. Just cause people complain about something in the previous game doesn't mean nerf it to hell and back! The decreased radius + the fact that there are no body grenade pick-ups (without the package thing) makes them have so much less impact on gameplay, literally and figuratively. 343, grenades make Halo nearly as much as the guns. And now big team is a more prominent gametype, so grenades should be even more useful.

This beta is really fun though.

Edit: Frankie, remember when you said "grenades are still grenades"?

 

[senador]

Just finished Campaign. :O

 

[DopeyFish]

Was hoping for a playlist consolidation. Oh well, 20+ lists here we come!

(I do like the rotation idea)

"We are going to keep things fresh by cycling around playlists you've always had in reach"

The problem was never the amount of playlists in reach, it was the amount of redundant and branched playlists.

One week ill be able to play something I like, one week I won't.

I think the answer is a hybrid system

Big team
Double team
FFA = oddball, regicide, slayer, king of the hill (pls bring back headhunter and juggernaut kthx)
Slayer special = snipers, swat, slayer pro
Skirmish = king, dominion, flag, oddball, grifball (pls bring back 1flag and assault kthx)
Infinity = straight slayer
Creative = infection or whatever

Then have a spotlight playlist which focuses on a single gametype to highlight

And remov map voting damnit

 

[Plywood]

I've played over a 100 matches and had one game that was laggy, you have some bad luck with that brah.

When Reach launched, I encountered the worst once in a lifetime glitches. I even had some after launch!

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

The encounter where you are fighting for the second pylon in the 3rd mission is horrible.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

dammit, nvm.

Dat hyperbole.

 

[rakka]

Sigh... I can already tell I'm going to be down another controller. Me no likely when dude with popped shield doesn't die from my grenade 3 feet away.

weak nades, strong pray n spray AR, loads of power weapons due to ordnance, just to name a few. fuck this...

its becomes less about strategy, accuracy, reflexes now its bullshit. in reach i could take on 2, 3 less skilled players with a grenade, dmr and magnum.

now i've almost go no chance in hell as the grenade does almost nothing if it isn't directly underneath the player, they rush in with ARs blazing and my magnum is weaker too. bull shit. ill take down maybe one of them but most certainly will die now.

Why don't you upload some films?

 

[Tashi]

I feel like Anti Type is playing an alpha build somehow lol

I have had the red reticle problem too.

And the grenade problem.

 

[JHall]

Instant respawn is the worst thing to be put into Halo since the jetpack.

Map control and positioning, fuck that shit.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Antitype is going for a triple kill?

I need to see more of your awesome artwork.

 

[Redford]

Instant respawn isn't some important feature that resources were directed to like Ordnance, so it wouldn't be a big deal to cut it. But they won't.

I'm sure it wasn't even thoroughly tested, just mandated on the ADD logic.

 

[Bregmann Roche]

Any of you folks know why King of the Hill sometimes allows you to spawn instantly and sometimes makes you wait?

 

[TheOddOne]

I just never push to instant respawn, dunno why but like waiting for the timer to go down and then get back.

Oh it was tested. Play tested.

Hint: play testing is a very very bad thing for games, now that results from them directly fuck game mechanics

 

[reggie]

Got the game today and played a few hours of both multi and single. Enjoying it so far. Will see how long it lasts though. All I know is this game shits, SHITS, on Reach. Fuck I hate Reach.

 

[kittens]

Anyone want to discuss campaign spoilers in the Spoilers/Speculation thread? I don't really understand half of what happened.

Link to my VERY SPOILERY confusion

 

[The Antitype]

Amazingly bad melee. Designed by retards.

 

[Devolution]

I need to see more of your awesome artwork.

Antitype needs to show these broken controllers.

 

[DopeyFish]

Amazingly bad melee. Designed by retards.

Amount of times both me and opponents have died by our melees at the same time? 60%+

Also the amount of times both me and opponents have died by DMR/BR shots between us at the same time is also stupidly high relative to other games

Both are something that should NEVER occur

Eh I'd rather us both die than I lose knowing I got that final shot.

 

[The Antitype]

Look, all I'm saying is that if you were to inject pesticide directly into the womb of a pregnant woman in the first trimester, assuming it lived, the would have much higher brain function than anybody involved with the design or approval of the melee in Halo 4.

And I mean, it would have higher brain function AT BIRTH than these people do in adulthood.

Just sayin'

 

[VivaciousJazzy]

So I'm glad SWAT is being added but where's my stinkin' doubles playlist? There could only be doubles and I'd be happy.

 

[DopeyFish]

Halo 2 prepatch, people can learn from it.

I don't remember ever feeling cheated until they fucked the melee up

Please get the hate language out of the thread.

My honest opinion, you need to calm down. You play worse the angrier you get, that has been my case so far. I have had some infuriating matches on Reach, but also some damn good ones too. Step back and refresh.

Heh.

 

[Mayyhem]

im really trying to like the multiplayr, but I'm feeling the same feeling I felt with Reach after a month (not a good feeling), and its only been a few days

 

[Redford]

That was getting insufferable..

Melee is fine if you ask me, there have been a couple of times where it felt like it didn't respond well but it's worlds better than the super-lunge in Reach.

 

[sp3000]

I'm not sure what it is with the lag compensation but the amount of times that it just ends up killing both people is much higher than any previous game.

Not surprised this issue hasn't been fixed since 2004 since Microsoft can't be bothered to set up dedicated servers since it might take money away from their marketing

 

[TheOddOne]

Saw people who unlocked the Suppressor last night, at short range it is a beast beating out the DMR with ease. Also picked up Light Rifle off an enemy and the thing feels right, liked it more then the DMR.

 

[Omni]

Spartan Ops / Campaign spoiler.

Spoiler

Why are the Prometheans still orange, as if they were under control of the Didact still?

 

[feel]

Antitype slurped all the bad Reach stuff pretty hard, surprised he isn't (wasn't) on board with everything Halo 4.

 

[zap]

I think I have had more laggy games in the last four days of Halo 4 than I have all year in Reach :/

 

[rakka]

I don't blame him. they fixed the reach issues but created new ones.

 

[Devolution]

Calling people who basically post here "retards" is never a good idea.

 

[Digital Limit]

we must make sure you can't have too much fun

Either you leave it open for players to discover an exploit and boost before 343 can respond, undermining your own efforts for progression, or you do what they're doing now. The idea that progression is tied directly to someone's satisfaction in Halo 4 blows my mind. If you're capping, be proud, not frustrated.
