Perfect Halo as in playing wise..
“Yo, I’m really happy for you, Imma let you finish but StatusQuo had one of the videos of all time”
It was the most fun I've ever had with the series. Halo 3 was great too - but Halo 2's MP was amazing. Of course the cheaters, SMG starts on BTB's and cheating/modding ruined some of the experience, my Halo 2 career had the biggest smile on my face. Maps, BTB epicness and pacing of matches were the best days in terms of MP for me.Glory days of SMG starts on BTB maps, standbying, cheaters, modders, etc. etc. DEM GLORY DAYZ.
Halo 2 on XBL was a great game, but man, the nostalgia is thick for some of you.
Hell, Reach makes me miss it more than ever; Halo 3 as well.

Yes there is. Can't be on face buttons, but you still have the sticks.
RT: shoot
LT: grenade
RB: AA
LB: sprint
left stick: crouch
Then the rest...
A: jump
B: melee
X: reload/pickup
Y: switch weapons
D-pad: switch grenades
right stick: zoom
Definitive control scheme for Halo 4 right there, at least for me. Seriously, can this be in the game?

Followup post, I don't even know why nobody cares but I'm tired so I'm typing anyway lol. His username here was HugBasket apparently, dude got permabanned everywhere and I see it happened here too.
It's the combination of the cross mappin DMR with vehicles made out of paper.

Kills X 10 still equals one's score though right? I thought the bonus points for headshots etc. only counted towards your ordnance drop meter?

I still want a proper BJ (lol), but this would make a fantastic default. Much better than the current default.
Yeah, I think you're right.
Correct, that is what I was referring to, though I wasn't clear. The general concept of gaining more points for certain types of kills (or actions) is what got dropped into Heavies, though the implementation in Infinity Slayer is different. Just drawing a loose parallel to the idea, rather than the execution.

Anyone with knowledge of the Halo lore: Why are UNSC ships so friggin small?
I mean a Frigate is like over a thousand feet and some change? Really? 500 years in the future and ships are barely larger than an Nimitz class Aircraft carrier? Um...why? Why would you have a ship so friggin small against an an armada of alien ships that completely outclass you in pretty much everyway?
And Covenant ships reach up to 95,000 feet in length?! Jesus H. Christ.

Team score in Infinity Slayer is only +10 for a kill, just like regular slayer. Individual and team scoring is separate (yes, just like COD).
^Appears it was already covered.
Yeah, everyone has the actions that they feel are a priority to not be on face buttons, but I really think that is a great one that gets most of the key actions off the face buttons. Given you can't have it all, cause there is simply too many actions in H4, but that would be great for my taste.

MONSTER BALLS: I have marked myself with a scarlet number so that all will know my shame. Our loss was not yours my Ball Brothers, but mine. I shall wear this symbol of my shame until I have cleansed myself of failure, that I may return to be amongst the rest of you already clean Balls.
Edit: I could live with the control scheme that Steely posted as a default, but, like kittens, I still want a functioning BJ scheme.

Seems realistic to me. Ships in space are expensive to make and before the covenant war they didn't need things bigger. I believe the much larger halcyon class ships (pillar of autumns class) were discontinued because of their size and cost.

Oops, I didn't see that melee wasn't on your list of not on face buttons. Melee on RB is perfection.

Just got off work and would like to play some Halo with y'all. Anyone need a player or wanna party up.
Please?

I agree, but something has to go, and given that I avoid melee like the plague and Halo 4 seems to have a extreme lack of emphasis on it, it seemed better to move it than sprint or AA, which I cannot fathom using on a face button.
This is of course, for my tastes. I think the default (at least how it is in the E3 build) is good with the glaring expect of crouch on B, which is horrifying.
It was surprisingly quite smooth for me. We'll have to play again soon. Hopefully the lag wont be so bad.
To my teammates; sorry about the hearing damage. I have a tendency to be pretty bipolar while playing Halo.
Just signed off for tonight but we'll be playing tomorrow night for sure. Send a message to Heckfu so I can invite you.

Finally looked at the bizarro control schemes, this is what I'd like personally:
RT: Fire Weapon
LT: Throw Grenade
RB: Melee
LB: Use Armor Ability
Left stick: Movement/Crouch
A: Jump
B: Action/Reload
X: Sprint
Y: Switch Weapons
D-pad: Grenades
Right Stick: Look/Zoom
RT: Fire Weapon
LT: Throw Grenade
RB: Melee
LB: Use Armor Ability
Left stick: Movement/Crouch
A: Jump
B: Action/Reload
X: Sprint
Y: Switch Weapons
D-pad: Grenades
Right Stick: Look/Zoom
and you are welcome in it.
Does that mean youve kicked me out?
Haha.. I am tempted (just slightly) to see if that card is still valid.

I wouldn't mind bumper jumper as it is in Reach, but I really prefer melee with LT. Don't know why it bothers me so much, but it bothers me enough that I sacrifice Jump to the A face button using Boxer controls. For Halo4, I do agree with those that think having to click the left stick in to sprint is a really, really horrible idea. I'll get used to it one way or the other, especially if you only have to click once to engage and click once more to disengage, but I'd prefer it somewhere else. In other news, I'm still a halo scrub.

In the vase, but don't touch it.

I don't know. I think Combat Evolved would have done better if they had made the pistol a 6 shot kill weapon with an 8 bullet clip. Clearly the game needed slowing down.
it is really good

1. I wonder if the campaign vignette titles will return in Halo 4. I dunno exactly what to call them, but I'm talking about the short phrases that sometimes preface new sections of a mission. They've traditionally been really corny, and while part of me appreciates the humor and fan service, I'd prefer if they weren't there.
2. I'm playing through Halo 2, and The Arbiter + Oracle collectively are one of the best missions in the series. It's awesome in gameplay, level design, pacing, variety, story, atmosphere, setting... everything.

I may or may not have pissed in the vase...
Gif 1: Snapping neck and arm?
Gif 2: Pulling back and slamming into ground, followed by knife to neck?
Liking the new assassinations but I still hate the way the camera awkwardly returns to first person. I realize it must be pretty hard to make the transition look better given that one has control over the camera during the kill but it's still bleh.
