I don't know what's happened to you lately but I LIKE IT.
nice hat
I haven't really played Halo since Halo 2, but I got 4 and had to make a new Live gamertag due to linking and unlinking issues with old MS accounts. Don't even want to get started on that... I can't access my account I've had for years because at the time I made it I needed a parental account. The info to that is long gone. Had the gamertag since like 04, kind of bitter about it.
Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone wanted to play. I'm down for campaign or multiplayer. Only on mission 4 in the campaign.
JooseBox23 is the new tag, talk to someone soon hopefully haha

That's terrible logic. Going by that the Gauss 'hog and Scorpion tank aren't overpowered at all either.
The Mantis shits on every other vehicle on the map and any competent driver can take out all of the infantry that comes close enough to EMP. The only real counter to it is the other Mantis... Well power weapons too, but they spawn so inconsistently you can't count on them to help.

I have very few actual complaints.
- Boltshot needs a nerf
- Juggenaut/VIP/Assault need to come back.
- Playlists could use a shuffle to some more multi-objective type hoppers and squad slayer needs to comeback. Hate having to go into Ragnarok Team Battle when i have +4 people wanting to play slayer.
- BR needs a slight buff to make it acceptable to fight a DMR user with
- Get Ragnarok out of KoTH
- 5v5 Forge Map Playlist of Mixed Objectives and Slayer
- Flinch is godawful in Team Snipers
- Classic Playlist, No Flinch, Weapons on Map, 3 second Spawn, DMR/BR loadouts, No Personal Ordnance (From what I'm hearing the very core of the game people are happy with its all the extra fluff that they don't like why not cater to these people aswell?) Slayer Pro is halfway there.
I love having my back to a wall in the Mantis. As long as no one can hijack that shit, and I have a little cover, I'm pretty lethal. I suck at CoD but have found myself much better at Halo. I feel like there's a tad more strategy, and it's nice feeling like I have a chance at surviving when someone gets the first shot off. If you're more accurate with headshots than the other person it's pretty much GG. First FPS I've gotten into in awhile... although I really haven't been playing much.

- Use an entire clip when shooting the "shotgun", Don't have a full clip? Cant fire it. ~
- Fix the recharge exploit
- Increase the Cool down
- Increase the Charge up
- Reduce the damage
- Remove it from Loadouts, Buff the Standard shot damage and make ordnance only
Pick two/three of the above.

Don't do it. It can be fun with the right people but holy shit is it laggy and tedious.

I Played with 3 friends across England without any lag. Not disputing Lag exists just saying under the right conditions its not something that is always an issue.
Same with SpOps only had 1 really laggy episode and i think it was down to me not getting host because i was downloading stuff(or i was host and downloading GB's was taking its toll)

One thing about the BR is its still got bullet spread so even if you go shot for shot with a DMR user, Guess who has a random percentage of not landing a headshot even if both of you shoot perfectly?
Yea...Why introduce randomness into your gunplay? Choose the DMR folks.

Shitty to hear. Using my iPhone 5 as a hotspot. Wish I had LTE, only HSPA+ here... getting 15Mbps down which seems pretty good? Not completely sure.
I want to beat the campaign I just hate playing things solo. All my roommates are lame and ONLY want to play multiplayer.
I think bullet spread is a reasonable way to limit the range of a weapon. Problem is, the DMR has no such limitation, so it demolishes BR users outside of medium range.

Anyone feel that it takes too long for your shields to regenerate?
I find myself sitting in a corner, waiting.

Yes, by about a second. Tweak pls 343.
Just run out and die and you'll be back at full shields faster.
All Halo needs is strawberry jam vision when getting shot and it will be the best FPS ever.
The day Halo gets iron sights is the day I kiss this franchise goodbye.
I would like the see 343i take Halo further into Battlefield-type territory for multiplayer though. I think the game could benefit from bigger maps and more players (obviously for BTB only)
I cringed so hard when I saw that. Sooo bad

Says the most masochistic man alive continually revisiting a thread for a game he hates.
I'm genuinely enjoying Halo 4. I'm not denying its problems, but I can still enjoy a *game*. Big surprises, here.
Go watch Ninja or Walshy play. Smiles all around. Game's good fun, albeit in need of a patch.

Reduce the damage, increase the charge time and make it consume a clip. I'm always surprised at the range it'll kill at, so lowering the damage and forcing a reload/swap before a headshot makes it right where it should be.
You can control the missile, too. Or at least move the camera around a bit...

Jesus, it killed you a couple times and now you're bitter? It serves a specific role, punishing players who fall into chase-traps. Whenever I die to it, I know I could have avoided it. #1 lesson I've learned in Halo is don't chase. This weapon's a little-too-great reminder of that. Also, it's fun to kill people with it. Setup with payoff is always nice. Nerf and we're good.
Camo squatting's another non-problem: punishing players for not using their radar and intuition. It's not that hard to determine where an invisible guy is (assuming radar isn't glitched) and putting a grenade or some revealing shots on him. I die more often to normal squatters than camo squatters—camo squatters at least warn me they're there. Reduce the time it lasts, fix related bugs and have charging a weapon toggle it off and we're good.
Yeah u can't really miss. It was just sort of tacked on there.
+200 Harriers Ready chief!
You sitting unshielded for longer gives BKs more opportunity to take potshots at you from the top of the middle building on Complex. You're directly contributing to their fun. Just die already.
Yeah, what was the point of that? And on the final sequence:
I tried everything to make something different happen.
It asks you to push up to climb, if you don't you fall and die.
It asks you to push forward to crawl, if you don't you inexplicably just die on the spot.
It asks you to press LT for Grenade - I tried literally every other button here and they all lead to your death.
You have to crawl toward the nuke, if you don't crawl fast enough you inexplicably die. Pressing every other button does nothing.
I really would have thought there'd be some alternates or easter eggs in there somewhere, but there's nothing. It really would have been better to make it a cutscene. I've played the final section 5 times now and it is without a doubt the worst section of "gameplay" in the series. And leaves a real sour taste after what was a pretty decent campaign.

It's funny, just came across a Rev3 review last night where one of the guys were moaning about the lack of iron sights, that it felt like Halo was stuck in the past because of it.
Made me grimace.
Probably has more to do with the visuals they were pumping out on this old hardware. Though, the amount of times I've had to put up with guests has been pretty minimal compared to 3 & Reach, so I can't say I'm mad about it.

Had the exact same thing happen to me once. We were within seconds of a flag cap and tying the game, but then the time ran out.

Sudden Death only kicks in if you're tied already.

Wish Frankie was here to explain the logic in that. Takes a lot of the excitement out of CTF when those last second flag caps can't save your team anymore.
Eh, that sucks. Kinda makes last minute pushes redundant if you're losing

We're all jerks I guess. Especially Elzar. Where's he been?
I've started my own Halo sub forum, with blackjack and hookers.

The only rule I have is no OddOnes allowed.
I will make a NoElzars tumblr. *Throws shade at the ex-wife*
So I woke up today and I'm still on some bullshit fall back servers where I can't play with my friends or spartan ops at all and there is like 200 people in total playing the game .
There is no official response from 343i on when they will fix this or any sort of explanation of what's going on.
I feel like some second class citizen right now lol.
I can't remember when I was treated in that shitty way by any other developer.
There is a thread on waypoint forum with some people experiencing the same issue but there is no official word when it will be fixed.

Maybe there are still things in motion that they want to fix before they say anything? Be a little reasonable and don’t overreact instantly. Heck, I've been in that position before. I could not say anything because of factors that were completely reasonable and understandable but if I said anything about it people would not get the context. Creating a shitstorm for nothing helps nobody and only breeds more confusion.
