I know Jester and his crew do these things. You can look it up on youtube. They've tried to catch the guy but he's good. IP and console bans don't work against him. It doesn't surprise me to see you running into these things. More and more bad kids out there now.

Go into your hard drive storage and delete it then re download it. That should clear it up @ breakinghalo1017

Frankly, I haven't played in a while but if 343 is finally taking the time to balance things out that's a plus. I wish they'd simply consult the MLG pros about these things. It would take lots less time and with 3 of them on staff now? I could be wrong about that, I don't understand why they aren't using the resources they have at hand.

Yeah, I ended up using FirePower on a lot of my classes which frankly, I didn't want to do and it was caused by the enhancement of the AR and I do agree with that move. Way overdue. Still, most kids just spam it so I generally took them apart with my swat class which is BR/Pistol. Just keep your head about you and your awareness level on high. You'll be all right.

I haven't played in a while but even when I was rolling a lot I did notice what you're talking about and I'd agree, it's a pain in the butt. Someone above made a post that the AR FINALLY has the strength that it was always missing and I'd certainly agree with that. To be a starting weapon, for years it was horribly underpowered. Now it has the firepower it always should have but it's throwing folks off because in previous versions, frankly, it was a joke. As long as I kept the AR users in front of me, I never had problems with them and I suspect it is the same with you but ..... if you get flanked or caught from behind .... DANGER WILL ROBINSON!! lol I truly do sympathize with you but as you've said, 343 has promoted the use of them with the challenges. IMO, the best thing to do is adjust your tactics, use PV for sure 'cause sure as anything there will be kids camo camping with them, and maintain a high awareness level.

I always talk, even if it's only my X lol. Communication saves lives and wins games is one of my best friend's sayings and I've always taken it to heart.

I'd like to see an EMP nade or something that wrecks that camo crap lol.

Agreed. Halo has always had the worst connection matrix of any game I've ever played. IDK why that is. I know my location isn't exactly prime for MP, I'm literally in the middle of 2 overloaded nodes so meh. That being said, I've played all kinds of games online and it's always been the Halo series that has made me want to break things with whatever code they're using so yeah, maybe they should let some 10 year olds write it out. Something needs to be done.

Say "Thank you" to 343 for making a camo a load out lol.

I've said it many times. I quit out on any game that takes me more shots than necessary to kill. I'm a 5 shotter, period. If I'm using the light rifle, 4 shotter lol. I'll give it 1 extra shot in case I might have missed but more than that and I'm outta there. It kills my effectiveness for the team and destroys k/d as well and I simply won't have it.

Trade off camo and stability for PV and dexterity. That's what I use anyway or PV and Firepower. I also use that. You gotta remember, the light rifle is a 4 shot weapon. You need 1 scoped shot and for the 4th shot to be a head strafe and bam, you're there. The scoped shot can be ANYWHERE.

GP butttt, I'd say just double up the playlists on social and ranked. No reason for lists to be available in one and not in the other.

4th is horrible. Neither Halo 2, Halo 3, and maybe even Reach EVER dropped out of #1 until the next Halo was coming out . 343 broke the mold with this game. There was no 3 month trial time, MS forced a severely under rated server system on them, from what I can tell on WayPoint forums not a SINGLE post has been replied to by 343 staff .... they have taken a COMPLETE 180 from the way Bungie did things and the population tells the story better than any book or stats ever could. Erm by the way, let's not forget the fact that Halo has essentially turned into a poorly done version of COD. Any posts telling me I don't know what I'm talking about will be regarded as petty and refusal to accept another's opinion. You can look up my GT, I've got plenty of time on both series and I know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. IMO, BO2 takes CONSIDERABLY more skill to play than Halo 4. @Irish. To answer your question, I suspect you'll continue to see these dismal numbers unless Halo5 makes a return to Halo, not Halo Duty or Call of Halo or whatever you want to call this game. IMO, it doesn't deserve to have Halo in the name. Maybe 343's 2nd mistake or Dang, 343 didn't learn after Reach or ....

I agree with you by and large but as I've stated in another post, before penalizing folks for leaving MM, let's get the MM networking straightened out and get a skilled list system in place as well as some MM options such as Same country only, best connection etc etc. I quit out only when my shots don't register or when I get pulled into a game with 12 seconds left and down by 10 scores lol. I don't mind being down by 10 scores but give me a little time to work with.

Well, got to admit I'm a little disappointed but ..... I'd rather they took a little extra time and put out a top shelf product. Thanx Bungie!!

I'll run between 2 to 7 .... the more I play I tend to get a little more agressive and that requires faster turning ability. I do agree though about the stability factors of the slower speeds. Most folks run routes and once you figure those out you really don't need a high turn rate. I like running with my future step son. He's a good student and when I'm watching him play I'll tell him where to set up, where to aim, and a pretty accurate guess on timing as to when they'll be there.

You need to make this post on WayPoint.

Jester Snipes, Jester iz MLG ..... bunch more BKs on his FL that do the same thing.

Agreed

I always liked the deal about not changing your mind lol. Way overdue IMO. The timer, IDK. Hadn't really noticed. I vote immediately.

Surely you jest!! 343 claims to have generated the "god" of all netcodes for MP!! LOL J/K. I agree, the netcode must have been written by dyslexic kids at the bottom of the class lol.

Yeah, camping isn't my deal either but I know folks who think it rocks, I'm an in your face run n gun kinda guy not to mention the game doesn't offer the versatility of weapons that other games do. The snipers who do this are pretty good but the REAL snipers push up so I don't appreciate the noob friendliness of the camo AA. To me it gives scrubs the ability to match up with the better players and that's where the AA's, camo in particular fail. Don't get me wrong, it takes a skill set to use the AAs properly but TRUE SKILL is determined when both players start out as equals and the AAs actually DEPRIVE the players of that. To me, it's ridiculously easy to maintain a 1.0 or better at any time whereas my k/d was .87 in H3 and I had to struggle like hell in Reach to maintain a 1.0. I like a challenge and while my goofy net provides some of that, I can counter most techniques used by choosing a certain loadout and applying my own strengths to the game. I can go play some BTB, which constantly wrecks my K/D, come back and play some slayer and bam, I'm right back to where I want to be. IMO, the game is wayyyyyyyy toooooo easy and that's where ALL the AAs fail the game and in particular, fail the older Halo players who were in it for the challenge.

Yeah, been there done that. It happened in H3 all the time and it's the primary reason I don't like FFA lists.

16v16 would be epic!! I'm not much of a BTB fan tbh but just imagine the carnage!! the filmclips!!

1 shot kill weapons belong in ordinance drops or map spawns, period.
