£800!?? Damn man I'm glad you like the game considering how much you have invested in it.
Thread is awesome, that gray man stuff was pretty funny.
I know that feel, I usually just play it an hour a day. That is enough Halo for me.

Sounds like a huge amount and looking at it is but I regret nothing and its been somewhat spread out and had little to not effect on my day to day checks and balances so..
And I'm loving the vast majority of What Halo 4 is
Except iv had a job and been earning more than good money for the past 6 month but yeah try and undermine it with your cool snide comments

Yeah this. Even call of duty has managed to have multiplayer maps that include futuristic nightclubs!
The lack of variety in the maps considering the amount of options is crazy.
To be honest, I'd like it if Halo went in that direction. Sure, keep some small symmetrical maps for the competitive community (assuming they haven't jumped ship like they apparently do every time a new game is released), but I think Halo could work quite well with more players and bigger maps.
You're talking about the map with the "wub wub wub" room, right? Plaza is one of my favorites.
Damn.
Wow, that's like on every map too. No way they'll be able to patch that
Would not suprise me if they did do it next-gen, hell it is even evident by the fact they are looking for people in the MMO space. The hardware can handle it and Xbox Live would not be constrained by old hardware could potentially make it happen too.
Looks like an animation system bug, actually. They might be able to fix it by just patching the bug there.
Or they're about to add a shit ton of soft kills and invisible solid blocks to all the maps. Either way.

They magically fixed the exploits on several maps already. Why should they not be able to fix that?

I don't think this will be a big problem UNTIL people find a way to do it on their own (like the complex glitch).

There is a medal for a binary kill? I seriously had no idea, and I've killed at least 10 guys with it. Must've tuned it out along with all the stupid "babbys first medal" shit (distraction and the like).
The medal spam is truly horrible.

Yep, I usually check for medals after the match. In-game though, you can barely even notice it. Reach had it right.
Those were isolated incidents. That glitch can happen pretty much anywhere... 343i would have to spend a lot of time going over the maps carefully to see if it were fixed.
Though if it were a animation glitch like FyreWulff said, then it shouldn't matter.
Hah. I've always thought that BTB modes should have more players and bigger maps. We've been stuck at 16 players for 7 years now, no? It's time for an upgrade.
My theory is it's collision based and you might be able to do it solo with grenade explosions if you melee at the right time.

Shit's kinda ridiculous.
Looking forward to playin in this league. Hoping for some more drama hahaha
Also, in case some of you missed it in the frenzy. New HaloGAF Radio dropped with Havok as the special guest.

This sounds like code for "I found out how to do this solo, but don't want to outright say that."
This is terrible.

Hey that would be rad, I wood enjoy that but can we not focus Halo around BTB.

Time for visible 1-50 ranks across all playlists.
Population is already dropping off.. can't believe they thought they could ship Halo 4 without a visible ranking system and people would stick around just to unlock stuff!
I'm not a negative nancy, I play Halo 4 every night. I just want to see higher population numbers, people need a rank motivation to do better, plain and simpo.

I read it all from start to finish just now at work. Two things came to my mind as I read it:
1) Grayman's posts reminded me of the Let Me Bang videos, and the guy crying in them
2) ether

Even when they add it, it's just gonna be on waypoint. So it doesn't matter much.
Lol. I hope they delay the ranking system and focus on the real issues with the multiplayer gameplay rather than the meaningless fluff useful for bragging purposes only.

Is this true? Welp, there goes me looking forward to that...

That was the plan cause everyone deserves to win even if they really didn't win.
The fact that we will have to go to slow ass waypoint to check ranks seems like an unnecessary action. It's just further proof that 343i wants to make Halo a more casual experience. Sickens me

Are final killcams actually in the game at all? I don't think I've ever seen one.
The ranks would probably scare people away if you put them in each playlist. Separate, ranked playlists would need to be created.

Don't think so. Don't think I have seen one since launch day.
Permanent bounty on highest ranked player in the match too.
Not that it matters anyway because of JiP.
Seriously though... I never got this community's fascination with a number.

Yep, shit, as it is some people get scared when they see high EXP ranked people, even though a lot of them are spartan ops farmers.

Not more than any other map they're on.
This is not the right way to make the game more like Halo 2.
In customs, they disabled them in MM because they are shit.

Exile is much tighter than Valhalla, and it's tighter, but not by much than that other grey map that it's on.
Those maps make it much harder to get a PP off on a Mantis. Exile there's not really a spot on the map you can't get in PP range of a mantis without getting wrecked.

Meltdown I think? Never made sense on that map at all. It usually never moves much beyond the entrance to the bases.
Wait so there was a final kill cam for the whole game at launch? I actually really like that feature in shooters like CoD, because sometimes you can see some really beast mode moments or crazy shit on how they pull one out of their ass. It's especially good when it's a 590 to 590 game clutch win.
My theory on the bug
Players are in figure one. Their bottom "am I standing on ground" point is at the bottom of their legs.
Player melees at the enemy in figure 2. The animation system turns off physics as it lunges the player at enemy. The origin point slips between the seam of the two faces of the object.
In figure 3, the animation has ended. Physics come back on, Havok (or the engine) decides the player would be safest to be allowed to fall downwards. This is probably better than the decision Halo 2's Havok made, which was to eject the player skyward at 100mph.
So yeah. That's my theory on why it's an animation system bug.
Bonus Content: The animation system in Reach did NOT like Elites sprinting while holding an objective, but since it didn't move the origin point of the player you couldn't use it to actually fall into the map.

I like Dominion on Meltdown. It forces a lot of strategic play because of all the different ways in and around. I think it needs to be 8v8 though to fully realize that.
Thus making it impossible to get the medal for obtaining the final kill in a matchmade game, as that medal is tied to the killcam and not the actual kill itself.

I like the map's flow, but my only problem is all the rocks along the edges. Way too much peek shooting going on already and on that map it gets kind of ridiculous. But that's more of a problem on other gametypes.
Haha, now that is stupid.
