can anyone show me a good competitive map made in the far cry 3 engine?
its sure getting hyped up but it doesn't look like a small competitive map creator.

It's a mental illness. If they are pussies in a video game it tells me something about what they are like in real life.
Whenever i play an online FPS i never stay in the same spot for more than 5 seconds, otherwise i would be camping. I run and gun in beast mode.
Lol.
People were hoping Bungie would do it after H3. They didn't. 343 had their chance and they put out something that's apparently inferior to what Bungie did save some lighting. Anyone hoping for something like FarCry should just not bother hoping. Ubisoft were able to put something respectable ever since the original Xbox. Halo has yet to match even that.
With camo being boosted and the introduction of boltshot, this is a lot more common then in Reach, and is basically the main reason I've barely touched the game in two weeks. It destroys any enjoyment on small maps and objective types. I don't understand how that ever got past play testing
...I only did it for the Venator helmet, I swear!
Active Camo is OP in Halo 4. I like playing with it, for once. It's really easy to slip in and out of Camo. If you crouch you don't show up on Promethean Vision (there's a blue outline of your character...but only if you're in their line of sight). And now that sprint is for everyone, you can be mobile for most of the match and engage Camo only when you're about to engage enemies in order to get that important first shot.
Basically, it's the best AA.

It's time to move on.I've never been so frustrated with a Halo game as to want to trade it in until now.
Come back, Bungie. Come back.
Uhh, pretty easy to see if they're sprinting.

I know that this is matter of opinion but for me there is nothing as frustrating as armor lock,random bloom or jump height in this game as it was in Reach.
I like Reach but it is most definitely more frustrating than Halo 4.
Halo 4 is extra fun !
uh, a little too late if they have a sword.

I guess if one lands on the wheel it's not as effective then? I have 2 stickies for BTB and both will most of the time leave the warthog driving along after a flip, I don't use the blast radius thing either :| I don't think everyone online has wheelman yet.
I think most people did that, heh. Unless your this one guy I know that will go out of his way to risk getting an assassination. He got it before anyone else I know.
I love getting the little Sparton Ops episode clips every week. They're really getting interesting now, imo.
spartan ops is up.
cg cutscene is fantastic, as always. but fuck the levels, seriously. the same levels over and over again, even i (as a lover of spartan ops) cant defend that anymore.
if they dont come up with something new, i dont really want to play anymore of this. i just focus on the cg stuff and thats it.

I think we have to swallow the fact that we're playing the same levels over an ove again by the fact that the first 5 episodes are free... There is no way they will charge people for SpOps and have the same levels over and over.
you mean the first 10 episodes. the whole first season is free.
but yeah: if they ever announce season 2, they better make it free or improve the hell out of it.

That's what plasma nades are for. Nothing better than sticking a camo camper that was going for the 15-0 challenge.

I thought the first season was 5 episodes. Man I can't handle another 5 episodes of the same. Wait if Ep 5 isn't the season finale, what the hell are they showing at the VGA's?

Has anyone experienced near game breaking lag during the co-op campaign? I started a co-op campaign last night with two other people and the lag was so bad it was nearly unplayable. We tried different combinations of host and party leader and nothing seemed to help. The only time the lag improved is when one person was kicked from XBL.
During a three hour session 2 people were randomly kicked from XBL. I had been playing earlier in the day in Infinity Slayer (8 people/game) and didn't have any issues. Was there a problem with XBL last night (1900 - 2200 Eastern)?
Everyone in the party has a solid internet connection and we've never had problems in other games. Halo 4 says my NAT is open and my internet speeds are about 24Mbps D/4-5Mbps U. That should be more than enough to play lag free. I'm on wireless connection, but like I said before, I've never had lag this bad in any other game or while running wireless. Any suggestions?

That's just how the game is, me and my cousin 50 miles away have trouble playing spartan ops smoothly.

i for one can't wait to play the same 5 maps back and forth again and again and again
He's not making that up. I have exactly the same issues and its been like that since launch. Hell, I didn't even touch the game for two weeks now because of that. I came to this thread hoping they fixed it but apparently they didn't bother to address it or even mention it.
Let their arrogant for not having a beta crawl up their asses.

playing multiple regicide 4 v 4 marches and the game says all lag is fine (no yellow or red markers shown on leaderboard) yet it takes half a second for my thrown grenade to actually appear and be thrown, that delay makes everything you do up close in a battle rather one sided and you get a lot of double beat downs.
And this is classed as good ping by 343i
It's like I get handicapped for being in the UK while most of america are the hosts, I just don't get it. Reach never really had this problem most of the time.

I haven't been playing Infinity Slayer too much and after trying it a few times over the weekend I don't think I will ever play it again. It's full of just shitty tactics and horrible gameplay that ends up not being fun at all. Tactics usually change depending on what map it is, but most the time it seems to end up in a lot of camping. If it's a small map it's people camping with camo and boltshot, if it's on a big map it's people camping until they get ordinance drops. It just seems like a big playlist of camping.
There seems to be a lot of things leading to this outcome but the biggest one seems to be ordinance drops. People seem to not want to move or try to do anything until they get an ordinance drop for some kind of power weapon. Played about 5 games before I got tired of it and 3 maybe 4 came down to ending by time limit reached and not the score limit.
Seems like this game has killed the regular slayer playlist.

Other continents/ countries do not exist in 343i world.

Gotta sell those map packs somehow.
i was really surprised to see a "game over" like situation. we didnt manage to defend all reactors (?) and it was over.
Yea, I lost the 1st one like twice so it can happen.
Be still my beating heart.

I don't understand this lame method of sending out codes. I never got mine either.
Who cares if n00bs get access to new specializations, they sill have to reach level 50 anyway
Where do you live. I live on the east coast US and my experience has been mostly pretty great. Minimal lag, solid connection.
Finally got around to starting the campaign, and damn, it's pretty good so far. The narrative is solid, and the graphics do indeed live up to their lofty billing. Audio design is superb, as well. The chapter-specific cheevos are a nice side challenge so far.
Looking forward to what 343i can do with the next Xbox hardware.
huh? You can fail a mission? How do you avoid failing....playing as a team?
Same here.

If you have that problem, just play one more time solo. Any difficulty should be fine. This seems to be happening to people that played some co-op.
Just got my 1000!

for me not. I either have a lagfree game or HORRIBLE IMPOSSIBLE LAG.
there is no in between. I always immediately try and sprint. if there is no sprint it's all bad news.

Yeah, 3, 4 and 5 are good. If the first two were a bit more fun this could have been as good as Episode 3. But 3 still takes it.
pffft. just reached rank 70 and have no more specializations unlocked. silly me thought that more would be unlocked as i complete the first batch!
by know i've heard about the codes, i read about the whole europe-not-getting-any issue and still... i can't really believe what's happening.
any idea on when to expect the (first?) general specialization unlock?

Are you getting any EXP now, or is it just dumping it?
I'd expect it by the release of the map pack, personally, but there's been no hard word.
Just finished the campaign. I thought that Halo 4, being the start of a new trilogy, would be a nice jumping on point to really get into the universe (I've only been a casual fan, despite being into sci-fi and shooters in general). Unfortunately, I was dead wrong. I didn't understand who the bad guy was or his motivations for wanting to destroy humanity. There was nothing to really flesh out his backstory. A brief video summary of what happened in Halo 1 - 3 would have been great. Or even a video explaining what the Forerunners are or what the hell a Composer is (I still don't know).
So I just kind of went through the motions, focusing more on the game play experience rather than the story. It was fun, better than 99% of other shooter campaigns. But I just wish 343 made it easier for casual fans to understand what the hell is going on. There was no emotional investment on my part.
Multiplayer is what really shines. Halo 3 felt so ancient when it came out. Chief couldn't run, no classes to choose from, no leveling, slow pace of play, etc. It was dreadful. Reach tried to introducethese modern innovations but they just couldn't build a cohesive package. This new multiplayer team has really hit a home run. Everything is just fantastic.

It just dumps it. It really sucks. I was hoping to get my email by now, I have achievements before the deadline, so instead I have to pace myself through the 2 specializations I was given.
Yeah, I'm SR 59 and worried about whether I'll ever see the other specializations. Trying to take it slow, which is easy when the game is this frustrating. I never got any kind of email and have been playing since 12:30 AM day 1.
