I don't think it's unfair. I think it was good bussiness sense by 343 industries.

Honestly I do enjoy the CoD games... but I enjoy the Halo games ten times more.

It's not really that OP. As somebody who uses Boltshot pretty commonly in my Loadouts as a secondary I'll attest to the range not being as insane as some people who post these kind of threads think. Upon missing the shot you are also left completely open to getting massacred. Perhaps they should decrease the range by a very small amount but not very much.

Because it's a great map. It has long range DMR/BR duels, intense vehicular combat, some aerial combat, and is also good for objective games. Plus it helps that it was a fan favorite from Halo 3.

Welcome to the forums

It sounds like the people you are going against are just noobs which is ironic considering that was one of your arguments earlier. Ordinance in this game that is realistically likely to take out the Gauss hog isn't something that you can count on. Since you can't increase the speed of plasma grenades or change their direction in mid air the long range plasma throwing is just an inefficient plan. Normally I would say that the tank is a far bigger threat except that the Gauss hog can kill it in three shots and has far superior anti-infantry capabilities. Also in slayer game-types there really isn't that much need for a team to support them seeing as they will most likely be going up against the uncoordinated attack from a bunch of randoms 99% of the time. If your gonna be insulting... at least give valid realistic points before you do so. All of the counters you gave to my argument aren't very good or reliable.

OMG I thought this thread was talking about something else. My bad. I haven't personally had a chance to go pick up the Crimson map pack (I may not due to the things I've heard so far) but I would love some more DLC. If I'm not mistaken there is already two more map packs planned and the info about them is detailed somewhere within the Halo 4 Matchmaking forums.

I agree whole-heartedly... This map isn't the best. It could really benefit from more discernible geometric figures and less emphasis on top mid. Great post

I agree that the DMR is OP. What I am arguing though is whether you are an idiot or not. I think that you are and these kind of posts give me factual evidence.

It isn't replacing FFA or Snipers lol...

I'm sure that 343 industries had very good reasons for removing the Falcon and Renevant from Halo 4. In Halo 5 I think that they should really consider bringing these two vehicles back. There is much to be gained from both of them. The Falcon promotes teamwork as the driver has to turn the vehicle sideways in order to allow the gunners to mow down the correct enemies. This, at least in my experiences, forced the three people in a falcon to communicate enemy locations and instructions among each other in order to be a successful threat on the battlefield. One can make a good argument for the Warthog... but I think I may be correct in saying that there has never been a teamwork oriented vehicle in Halo the same way that the Falcon was. It also would fill the UNSC air niche to put it back in. The Renevant is a very useful and fun vehicle. It is essentially the offspring of the wraith and the ghost. (Gross mental image for you) It gives you a lot of the speed of the ghost while vamping up the firepower a little bit. It's not as useful as a mobile threat as the ghost and not as useful of a firepower threat as the wraith. I find that it was a nice middle ground for the Covenant vehicle set. I would be very excited to see either or both of of even one of these vehicles return in Halo 5. Discussion?

You could always play the game for fun... I know that that's a pretty big innovation but I think that it could be made to work.

I've come to the conclusion that they should remake the pit. It would add another real competitive map to the mix and may be able to work with the new game mechanic features that they have added.

This one mission this week called The Challange gives about 4k per but is a very quick mission. I think that one may be on of the highest XP's per minute of all the episodes released this season.

Well it's arguable, yes, but many people wouldn't consider KoTH necessary playlist until after we get popular ones such as Team Snipers, Grifball, and Doubles back. Though I really must say the new objectives playlists are a million times more fun that in any previous Halo game and I miss KoTH myself.

Agreed. It seems like that's the only way that teammates can grief and troll you. Even worse is that there is no punishment for it.

Fixed. Now it's readable... but barely.

Just you standard Halo players. Most Gauss Hogs simply will circle the map and get destroyed easily. But if you go back to that back little corner that doesn't see much action then it becomes nearly impossible to land a plasma grenade or pistol shot. It also thins out the numbers a little so that they can't put serious DMR fire on the hog. The Gauss Hog isn't unstoppable... but it's close. I don't know how long you think they increased the time between shots to but it wasn't a whole lot. If you put the Gauss Hog in the right place good luck taking it out to the enemy team. Not a whole lot of counters.

Yeah I always thought one of the more strategic parts of this game derieved from this. Whenever I used to die I would always say "________ on my X". You can no longer do that anymore. Combine that with super quick weapon despawns and you've got quite the problem.

Learn what an opinion is. What he did was an attempted troll not an opinion. But to be honest this whole argument is stupid. The idea of willingly handicapping yourself because you think that a weapon is OP is unbelievably stupid. It's like if somebody offers you a thousand dollars and you say no It was simple and took no skill to earn. By some of you guy's logic that's exactly what you would do.

U Mad Bro?

LOL I know right. This is America land of the free... Yet it seems like all I hear about right now is new laws in development designed to "protect our freedom." But all they really do is limit us and oppress us.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/12/21/senator-proposes-bill-to-study-violence-in-games Here's a little quote from the end of the article that, at least in my eyes, is scary as a video gamer. “Major corporations, including the video game industry, make billions on marketing and selling violent content to children,” Rockefeller concludes. “They have a responsibility to protect our children. If they do not, you can count on the Congress to take a more aggressive role.”

Ah and a wonderful example of what posts not to make. Keep giving us more examples of posts that make the poster look stupid.
