Love it. Don't think I've ever had it but once or twice though lol. Perfect weapon to use with hologram, get folks to give away their position and then listen to the sound of their bodies disintegrating lol.

LMAO!!

Can't we all just get along? Sigh, I'll copy/paste my post from another section here. BRB Halo defined competitive for years. For you to progress in any lists, social, ranked, or MLG, you HAD TO WIN. All the kids that went to the MLG events understood that there were good gamers in all the other games. If you wanted to see the Great gamers, watch the Halo MLG. Everything came up way short on that end until Reach and now H4. I have to say that I believe that H4 feels a lot like COD myself and I don't care what anyone else says, I've played them both quite a lot thank you and I'm more than qualified to say how I feel about the game. Posts saying I don't know what I'm talking about or anything along those lines will simply be ignored as silly and refusing to accept how another player feels. I'll stick to my guns on my original post in this topic. There is plenty of room for both sides of the coin for this game. Social if you wanna goof off. Ranked if you get more serious. MLG if you want to go insane competitive. None of this is even debatable What seems to be the "actual" argument is who's outlook on gaming is right? Simple answer, all of them. OK, whose desires should 343 cater to 1st? Here's where it gets difficult. 343 released a 1/2 baked game at best. There was an outcry for the duration of Reach about not having the social and ranked lists separated and don't even get me started on Arena. After 343 got hold of it for good they wrecked 3 totally symmetrical and balanced maps in the arena list alone .... idiots. Hidden skill system, pshhhh, what a joke. This is an issue that should be NON EXISTENT!! The game should have been released with separate formats and EVERY PERSON HERE knows it. There are times when I want to run social, care free gaming. There are times when I want to be a little more hardcore, ranked. There are times when I'm not missing a shot, my nade timing is picture friggin perfect, and every time I fire the sniper it's a blainer. That's when I'm ready to put on my big boy pants and run some MLG .... generally only to get smacked back to my senses and go back to ranked lol. The thing is, that's been the core of Halo until 343 was in the wind to take over. Bungie actually listened to the players, catered to them and guess what, hella following STILL in H2 and H3. Not so much in 3 though because the servers have been blatantly disregarded and they don't have anything set up on STEAM for H3 otherwise the player population would be down to about 30k players all lists combined on H4. Here's the way it is. Currently, competitive and casual, and insanely competitive players are all forced to play together. This is 100% 343's fault. I don't want to hear anything about "it's their 1st game" and all that garbage. The simple facts are they had enough time to do it right, they had the staff to do it right *several from the original CE release*, they knew what the player's wanted, and they CHOSE to ignore it. The time to implement these changes would be oh, let's call it 30 minutes .... tops. Frankly, it would take more time to fix their broken *** MM maps and spawns. Why aren't they doing it? Heck if I know.

Good stuff. I always enjoy just goofing around when I'm running around with my online pals. We're a tough group to beat and so lots of times we'll just goof off and see how much goofy crap we can do and still get away with it.

Customs for sure and the practice is already used in MM lol. That's how you have different play lists.

Very true, good OP.

It's a broken version of MVP and there was a cheevo for so many assisinations Regarding the 5.0 K/D, that's doable. Watch GameSager's BTB team play ..... No team I've seen them play against has made it over 340 yet. I watched him get 9 perfections in a 2 hour period of time lol.

yup, sad but true

No, I said exactly what I said. Don't try to read more into it than there is.

It should tell you something. HaloCE,2 and 3 had just as many if not more games to compete against and their population didn't take anywhere remotely near this hard a drop.

lol Yeah. One thing text lacks is tone inflection.

Unfortunately they don't, they sit back and let things happen, I'm not one of those. Side note VaultingFrog, I wasn't quoting you, that was someone else. Don't come out swinging at me.

There are multiple posts regarding this issue and there are multitudes of people with EXACTLY the same issues you are having. Try posting at Xbox forums or Waypoint Forums. XBL help desk is quite good at addressing these issues with you and they're very professional and courteous. Give them a call.

Actually CE, H3, and H3 had and still have the longest running communities and to call them trash implies you have no idea of what you're talking about.

Excellent information and thank you!! Not quite short sleeve stuff but even I can get the gist of it. Question: Would demanding a certain bandwidth up/down address some of these issues? They should have been concentrating on making the next game instead of tinker toying around with something that was already done. Maybe they wouldn't have these massive complaints about a game that's only 1/2 completed and frankly, I think that's giving it entirely too much credit.

Bah, don't cripple everyone for 1 weapon, simply take it out of the load outs. Much easier and sensible thing to do IMO.

yeah, it's just a pain in the arse lol.

I disagree. If you're flying out in the wide open, that's bad piloting. Stay close to the ground, Get up in the air but not in plain view, hug the cliff walls and such. If you want to see some excellent piloting and really learn how to fly, watch GameSager play. The boy is unbelievable with his tactics and that's what it's all about.

The drops are just too damn random. Needs to be some tweaking done. I'll get to it when I have more time to think about it.

Agree, all 1 shot weapons need to be in drops or map spawns. They were in every preceeding game, why change now?

Agree on part of this, it should be a 2 use AA as evade was, make it a ton more useful. As far as a longer duration .... IDK, sounds like making the cake and eating it too and this is why you have the choice of thrust pack or JP. Just my opinion.

IMO, the best thing to do is get rid of the XP system altogether, go back to MM and Campaign cheevos to accomplish the unlocks.Don't reset anyone for what they already have, that would be horribly unfair and frankly it's probably too late to do this for this game. Hopefully, if H5 comes around, they'll consider this.

agree, it's bk. go back to map spawn weapons and power ups.
