Goodbye, Sweamy, I meant for that M to be there. Return one day so that my font can mess up your name again...

SYKO!!! Syko and I know this is the best part.

BR takes three full shots in the body to kill. Just to clarify that. Like the DMR.

It's still only us Halo 4 Xbox owners. Thankfully. FOTUS should not ever come out for others in any way. I didn't get the Xbox just for that, but it'd be a cheap shot to have my special armor given out to everyone. TBH, I think 343 never planned to give it out anyway.

I like these rumors for the most part. I don't take any of this and fact, but I do hope the ups of these rumors are true or exceeded.

We all love those new custom settings. Some things we can't change seem like they'd be perfect as a new addition. Maybe Halo 5 will deliver... What new custom settings do you want for Customs? I thought of a few. Forgot some...here's what I remember: Game Gravity, down to a 10% minimum, up to a 500% max. Should go up in increments of 25. An overall setting that affects players and objects alike. Even grenades. Could be good for jenga and the like. Instant Kill. I want it back. 300% is good for most things but an instant kill...kills instantly. Health decay alongside shield decay. Could make for interesting gametypes. (Escape maps, etc.) Duck Hunt would be slightly faster with impending death as a guarantee... >: D One Clip. Like bottomless clip but you still have limited ammo. Basically just means no reloading unless you run out of ammo. No Ammo. No ammo. Not even one shot. No charge in energy weapons. Could help make empty swords a bit easier to obtain... Shield Recharge Length. How long it takes for your shields to reach fully recharged. We already have the ability to make them take a while to start, why not let us make it take a while to finish? That's about all I can remember. I had a lot more but forgot them along the way here. :3 So, what do you want in your custom settings?

A Trip Mine would never be brought in as a loadout option. *Thinks of bouncing betties and claymores* Trip Mines would be awesome as ordnance though.

My sentiments exactly. Except I love Halo 4. But, 343 do a good job of listening and giving us what we want. Some of us just want to start bitching and moaning about the three things they forgot instead of the fifty things they add and fix each update.

You get put into games with large skill gaps. I do too sometimes. You just have to keep your play consistent and try not to get utterly stomped every now and again. Fluctuating skill is the most likely reason I can think of for suddenly being put into a game where your teammates may as well be a child in comparison to you. That and no decent connections with similarly skilled players. One thing is that teams need to be balanced a bit better. Both teams usually have one or two big winners with one or two mid level supporters and than those last one or two tacked-on players who do below average. If your whole team did considerably worse than the enemy, then the game failed to balance it out properly. Nothing on your end, as I'm sure you suspect. Entirely 343's automated thing jacking up objective games like it does. The only fix is to keep from fluctuating a lot. Halo 5 may have a smarter system that can help, but I can't think of any easy way to handle this either.

I didn't expect to see yet another of these. Think. Has this post possibly been done before? Of course. But, that's not my issue with it. I think that after 343 publicly stated that Halo 4 was far from perfect and feel they should have done better, the least you could do is congratulate them on a job well done for their first Halo game, AND to acknowledge that they are a good developer who admits their faults. With that, my negativity towards you is done. Sorry if it was harsh, but they deserve a bit of nice comment for all that. You and I both have our opinions but at least I understand where you are coming from. You are a classical Halo vet who doesn't care to understand the deepest fundaments of the new Halo. Don't take that wrong, because I mean that you get excitement from a different aspect of Halo. But you seem to be of the group who wish to have everyone start with a uniform weapon and grenade set. Where weapons lay neat against their walls and in the middle of their rooms for players to claim. I understand you are a player who enjoys a uniform neatness of a game, yes? You don't like the possibility of a player calling in a rocket or shielding a sniper's bullet, right? I understand that. I am of the mind that those things are exciting. They make you improvise and play a bit smarter to outwit your foe. You like to be on equal footing strafing out of your foes shots while you rush and 4-shot him, yes? Both games have their own exciting skillful moments. So you can't really claim that Halo 3 was the epitome of multiplayer. The differences of skills needed to excel crush the comparison, but the core is the same. Halo 4 is not a bad game. It just takes a few skills different than were needed in Halo 3 to crush the enemy. All the while, your former skills from Halo 3 lie in the core of what you do in Halo 4. You still strafe those BR bullets and keep your aim right on his face, but you have to use your sprint to your advantage, you have to make sure your AA can help your situation, and you have to ensure that your loadout is set to ensure your maximum chance for survival. Halo 4 is Halo 3 with an added layer of strategical complexity. A ranking system was not present in Halo 1 yet people claim it was one of the best. All Ranking arguments are never taken into account by me anymore. If you want an argument on that point, you'll have to convince someone that Halo 1's lack of a ranking system still made it...what you would call competitive and fun. I fully respect your opinion and understand that you do not enjoy the added layer of complexity and uncertainty as to what that Spartan around the corner may have from his Ordnance. I do not look down or up upon you in any way and only wished to explain why I, who started with the first Halo and never complained about one badly, actually enjoy the new Halos. Thank you.

I've never seen that word used in that way before. Like I posted in another thread, the problems arising from this would negate the benefits as there are simple ways around the problem they are supposedly trying to solve. This will never happen. The risks outweigh the benefits.

Twinreaper is completely right. It's competitive, but not full of incentives to make people competitive. See, with opposing teams a game is automatically competitive. Halo 1 is considered competitive with no ranking system. If you say Halo 1 is competitive, I'd love to hear a reason why anyone can even say Halo 4 isn't. Simple as that. A game is competitive with opposing sides, but isn't your fouled definition of competitive if it lacks incentives. So it isn't...interesting shall we call it?

Only, it has as many shots as a BR does.

I believe he was transported. He does comment at the end after the credits of being charged with ensuring Forerunner ascendency. Perhaps he made it back to other Forerunners. Perhaps he was taken by their law. He does say "we" a lot.

Gimmie more aerial space in mah forge maps, A revenant, spectre, and Falcom to deal damage with, and I'm happy. The Falcon must have Pilot weapons, though...Either that, or a nice Hornet. Or the Campaign's pelican.

Drop Slayer gametype You start in an ODST Drop pod above the map as it is falling. See, the twist is that your initial spawn is never the same. That red team can't rush for that Scorpion every time anymore! And the blue team can't immediately load up in that gauss... Anyways, that's how it starts, and at the end something neat could happen if you'd like. A pelican could come down for the winners or something. Just aesthetics for the ending. Nice, short, and actually changes up the matches a bit. If you'd like, you could scratch the ODST idea altogether and just randomize spawns. Call it Slayer Roulette. The teams would always be across from each other of course. Like it? Hate it? Post below. Like or hate me? Let's PM, right now, bud.

If FOTUS was given out to 130's at this point, I'd be mad. The avatar armor is already out. The in-game armor had better never come out. Not even like Halo 3's Recon did.

I would support all four precision weapons in before I would support this. I don't want any gun removed, but I'd love to see additions. The LR is too powerful, but the carbine isn't. They should make it available. If you look, there's a pre-made carbine loadout that's hidden in SWAT currently. Hope they bring it in.

I support a budget, but not an item limit.

It's quite impossible to stop used games with no drawbacks or gamesharing. They want to put out a code for one console per game? What do I do if I have to buy a new console? Well, I'm not buying Halo 5 again, hell no. Put out a code for one profile per game? Might just let my buddy recover my account to play it. Either way, something is majorly wrong and has dumb drawbacks that make the whole system useless or worthless. That is why used games will never be stopped unless the law steps in. Frankly, why would they?

What someone should do is find out a bunch of bad things about media folks and post it online. That'd shut them up. Then the rest of the world would have to go on word of mouth.
