Spartan Ops was only good for the cutscenes. The rest was just copy and past multiplayer and campaign maps and throwing enemies at you... lol

Adrift Solace Abandon And arguably Complex, unless you don't want to count it because it has a Ghost.

In order to get the Cyan visor, I need to do the "From the Brink" commendation, which basically says I need to kill people while low on health. Can it be more specific? Cause I've been in several shoot outs that left me and the enemy without shields, and I finish him off first with a headshot, and yet I still don't get any points toward the commendation.. Is it a glitch? Is there more to it than having low health (no shields, even) and killing someone? What more do they want? lol

Well... at least it's a good thing they're adding multi-gametype playlists. There's still hope.

I can't keep playing the same straight forward playlists like ctf (ONLY 2 flag, SAME weapon/vehicle spawns) and big team battle (ONLY slayer, never 2 flag, 1 flag, etc.) I know they said they were going to roll out new playlists as time goes on, BUT, does that mean they are going to actually bring back stuff like grouped playlists that have more than one gametype in it? for variety? or are they just going to add stuff like free for all and MLG, and other specific gametypes?... cause that sucks... i miss team objective and big team. playing objective games with 16 players... alternating between offense and defense. Rant starts now. Doesn't anyone else miss that? dedicating an entire round to defense, it builds on the gameplay if you ask me, because you get the chance to really think strategically and defensively. instead of running out and killing people you try to make sure the entrances are guarded and get the best weapons you can. then offense was always so much fun cause you could put your full attention on raiding the enemies base and not have to panic and worry about no one guarding your own flag. Cause when you play defense on 2 flag, it can get boring... especially when your team is on the offensive lol and youre sitting back doing nothing... but waiting.... looking at textures long enough that you start seeing faults XD Dominion would be awesome on big team... >:C

I keep looking around but no one said anything about this for whatever reason. Where do specializations fit in the customization? Are they in their own category or do they just go into support upgrades or tactical packages? And when you finally hit SR50, do you get the ability to use the mod? Or do you have to go through levels 1-10 before you can even use it? Other than that I know how the specializations work, but for some reason these questions are never asked or answered D:

Unfortunately, I'm not sure if they will ever make a 1 flag playlist. I say this only because I noticed there is no 1 flag option in custom games either. But, if they were actually trying to keep us coming back to halo and adding ACTUAL new gametypes to custom games/matchmaking like 1 flag, bomb, etc, then ill be happy. It's a long shot, but who knows.

I really miss big team ctf D: is this something they'll likely bring back or are they keeping them strictly one and only one category... cause i hate that. ALWAYS 2 flag? never 1 flag? on such cool asymetrical maps like abandon and complex? I mean, I understand that they wanted to keep the same pace of gameplay throughout each game mode, but c'mon, halo 4 would be so much fun with 1 flag and other round based gametypes again.

No, the thruster pack is fine where it is. The thruster pack isn't built for speed or anything, it's built for fire fights. I've dodged COUNTLESS bullets, grenades, melees and vehicles with the thruster pack. You just gotta use it right. Some guy was running up on my and was about to assassinate him, I thruster packed diagonally to the side and managed to punch him twice before he knew what i had just done. I also love going out of a corner then thruster right back into cover, making them waste a sniper shot or grenade, or just psych them out as i go in for the kill.

If so, what kind of playlists can we expect? Like, new gametypes or new forge maps or what?

but it can be solo, right?

I heard that you had to play the game on legendary to unlock the old Mark VI suit. BUT... I also heard that you just had to unlock an achievement, which was to play the story on heroic or harder (i think it might have said coop?). Does anyone know for sure? I tried looking it up online and I'm surprised there's not a list of what the armor sets are AND how to unlock them.

Sometimes there will be a a final death cam for the last kill that everyone can see at the end of the game. I was actually pretty excited for this, but it doesnt seem to EVER happen in matchmaking Why? it was already put in the game.. why not just use it?

With all these end game specializations to unlock I can't help but wonder how long it will take to actually get up that high... Will this take MONTHS on end, and countless hours of free time? Or will this be a matter of weeks or something lol

I watched all of FUD, and I've also seen the scanned trailer. There is another trailer they were advertising. http://www.examiner.com/article/halo-4-seven-minute-live-action-trailer-teased There are more "official" sayings on the matter, but this is just for those who had no idea.

Whoa now, while I agree that Halo 4 didn't copy COD, these reasons aren't why. When COD first got popular they made sprinting popular among all games, while Halo stayed true to itself. But when things in gaming become so common, it's no longer "stealing from cod" since it's a "modern choice." Hell, if people say that's copying, then COD stole Bungie's match making idea. Not because it was used by so many other games at the time, but because it originated with Bungie. You could also say COD stole Halo's control scheme, since every FPS today has been built around the halo layout. Loadouts are so common these days that adding it into halo 4, and saying they're copying cod, is just dumb and ignorant. If games these days didn't circle around player customization, halo would probably have stayed classic.

They kept advertising for this new live action thing for halo 4, suppose to be really long, but the game literally comes out tonight at midnight and the live action still isn't out lol Is this post launch or something?

Probably planned DLC. They kept saying how they had a surprise for all the "nostalgia" fans out there in multiplayer. I doubt they only meant the Mark VI. If so, owell. I wanted the Mark VI and they even took off the dumb white stripe on his helmet from reach. Now i can have a full body color instead of green with bits of white.

Just put the second disc in, follow the instructions, then blam, pop in the Halo 4 disc.

I doubt they put it in Halo 4, but it'd be a nice option to have. I always find myself switching between armor sets, especially as i level up and unlock more. I wish I could just save a set i like and go back to it later D:

I wanna know how long it would take me to get the helmet I'm aiming for. I want to be able to use the Mark VI helmet. I also remember there being a little halo 4 armor description thing you could scroll through. I was gonna check and see if that list was in order but I can't find it... I feel like it was on this website lol it had the full picture on the right and the full description on the left, with a cool background, showing two spartans or something.

Whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa.... whoa... I don't believe this to be true. Please provide proof.

As stated before in this topic, turning it off is not an option they think would work with Halo, as game breaking as it CAN be.

dual wielding in Halo:CE custom maps? I meant like, what if in Halo 5, if they bring back dual wielding, it'd be cool to have an armor mod that would let you keep both dual wield weapons instead of dropping the left one when switching to your other weapon on your back.

I'm wondering where the majority of fans stand in the Halo universe. Whether or not the most influence is toward the older style or the newer style. I always thought Halo Reach had more players online but im on halo 3 right now and at 10:30 am EST theres 20,000 people on still... this game is ooolllldddd lol I loved Halo 2 more than Reach, but I think I like Reach more than Halo 3. Hard to say why Halo 3 just didn't stand out to me...
