This thread makes the OP look incredibly stupid. An example of what not to do for newer members.

They should make it so that if you are king and you die you can't have king back until the next king dies. Then other people would get to enjoy being the king more.

Well I don't know if you guys have seen the most recent weather forecast!!! As you know the world is scheduled to end tomorrow at around 3:30 or something like that. I just thought I'd let you guys know that I enjoyed being a part of these forums. I'm going into the bomb shelter now and I'm bringing my Xbox and Halo 4 with me. I plan on playing until the end of time (literally) and suggest everyone else does the same. xD

It takes a lot for me to like a comment that has broken the rules by cursing... but the truth present in this comment has pushed me to do it.

I'm never the gunner in a warthog (Don't trust other people to drive me) but there has been times where I was driving someone and we literally carried our entire team to victory with about 50-60% of the score. At least to me the OP factor of the Gauss hog is not it's ability to endure tough battles... but it's ability to rack up insane numbers of kills in small periods of time. There's plenty of examples of people getting 15 kills with it in 20 seconds. 20 seconds isn't enough time to react and adapt to the situation.

Well to be honest this is a rant. Though you have done it in a poilte and non-inflammatory manner (which is impressive). I find myself agreeing with a lot of your points. Let me commentate. 1. Seems like it would be annoying to me. 2. That would piss me off to. 3. A very dumb move on 343i's part (you are right) 4. Yeah that was a good financial move for them in the long run... but leads me speculating whether the maps were complete before the release of the game. 5. Can't say I entirely disagree with you. Though there are some diamonds in the rough. If you're looking for an official 343 industries response I suggest heading on over to the Halo Waypoint forums as that is their official base of operations. If you are looking for this communities opinions on your ideas then perhaps you should get a mod to move it to the Halo 4 forums. Though topics like this tend to get overlooked and ignored because of the sheer quantity of identical threads that get posted at all different hours of the day.

I do not believe that he is dead an antagonist of that grandeur will have a purely epic boss battle when it's his time to kick the dust. Though with the ending to Halo 4 and the Didact falling into that field of "Composition" it seems like he would have had to at least get composed. Perhaps he will come back stronger than ever to face Master Chief a second time?

Ehh I don't know if I'd go that far. It's meant to be a complete powerhouse vehicle with almost no flaws. That's why it was originally introduced for the campaign and not the multiplayer. The Gauss Hog is semi-balanced on Exile because the map is basically a giant circular bottleneck which makes for easily laid down grenades and sticky detanators. If you put the Gauss hog in any other map (let's say Vortex) you'd have a huge balancing issue on your hands. The Hog would probably rack up 75 kills per match.

You're probably right. Next week we can expect our beloved Team Regicide to be Dino Blasters. If anything but Snipers or Griffball (or that new Binary Rifle gametype) pops up then you guys can expect me to rage. Just trying to warn the mods ahead of time xD Here's the War Games Statistics in terms of population right now. BTB Infinity Slayer - 24984 Crimson DLC - 2062 Dominion - 3890 Regicide - 3257 Flood - 3927 Capture the Flag - 4899 Oddball - 2445 Team Regicide - 2343 SWAT - 11365 Team Regicide isn't that far down. It's comparable to Oddball and regular Regicide in numbers.

The entire thread is a simple tip about using the Gauss Hog on Exile not whether it's OP or not.

Uh, I don't think that you read the whole thread. lo

There is one vehicle that I have always said should never be in a Halo War Games map ever for any reason whatsoever. That vehicle is none other than the Gauss Hog. It's incredibly easy to aim, has unlimited distance, wrecks vehicles, kills infantry in one shot, and can go toe to toe with a wraith and come out on top. On Exile though it doesn't tend to be OP. This is because the standard tactic it seems is to foolishly go in a circle around the map at top speed giving your gunner no time to aim. This is not smart. As somebody who averages probably 5 warthog kills per match on BTB Exile I can comment on how easy it is to hide behind a rock next to the opposing bridge and pop out for a quick Plasma ever cycle. That's why the good Gauss drivers pride themselves on being unpredictable. At first look the Gauss Hog doesn't appear OP... that's only because most of the drivers don't know the one trick I'm going to give out. The trick is to hop in the Gauss hog with a gunner then immediately turn left and head down into the corner that the Tank so commonly camps in. From here you are blocked out of view of the numerous DMRs present from Red base and the surrounding areas. It allows you to pick solely on the front lines of the enemy team who will commonly traverse the map and come into your plane of view. Think it over in your head, the tank (your main threat) already belongs to your team, you are a safe distance away from plasma grenades, the Banshee is an easy kill if your smart about it, and the enemy team should have trouble getting enough numbers attacking you at once to cause any real serious damage. The only threat now is Rockets and Splasers... which as I've noticed aren't a very common occurence. So stop going with the flow and try this. You'll be suprised how easy it is to get a 25 kill streak. (I get at least a running riot probably 1/2 the time)

I highly recommend giving it a try. It's the most fun I've had in Halo 4 in quite a while. And of course due to the nature of the game It would probably be more fun to go in with a team instead of randoms.

Yesterday night I decided to pop Halo 4 into my Xbox and head to War Games. I started the night off with some BTB and SWAT but was then lead to this new game-type called Team Regicide. At first my thoughts were doubtful as I didn't understands how traditional Regicide game-play could be made to work with teams. Upon playing it however (A bunch on Haven and some on Solace/Adrift) I quickly came to realize that it was one of my favorite Halo game-types for any Halo game. To play on a casual level with a bunch of randoms is pure chaos. It is bullets flying left and right with grenades being tossed across the map. However there is also a clearly discernible teamwork element to having success in Team Regicide. It's that pure balance of protecting your own king while choosing precise opportune moments to take shots at the opposing teams king. It has made me use flanking tactics like never before to try and get the drop on their king without having to bypass all of the opposing teams defenses. It's this excellent combination of Chaos and teamwork (Chaotic Teamwork if you will) that make this game-type so fun. Anyway yesterday I got myself to thinking... If 343 industries decided to keep Team Regicide for good then it may be a huge success. As more players decided to leave their regular playlists to try new things I think that Team Regicide could steal serious numbers from both Regicide as well as Infinity Slayer. I'll decide to put it to a vote. Of course there's no real pull exerted by the results of this vote but it would be cool to see where the 343i CF stands on this issue. ~Thoughts~

Wow I have never really considered PV OP.

However, due to the sheer quantity of dumb things the halo playerbase has tried doing with it we've actually found some pretty cool little things that it can be used for. *Trick jumps *Delaying on a teleporter *Power launch on Solace *Aborting lifts

Welcome to the forums

Bah Humbug!!!

I'd be more than happy to post one if you guys would like...

The Boltshot isn't nearly dominate enough of a weapon to be put into Personal Ordinance. It would never be chosen.

That one line that say's "Blast from the past is my namesake" is killer. Maybe you're a Lich... I give up after this lol.

Are you the mantis...

Is it the infinity...

I don't know... The Arbiter... Johnson...

A photographic picture of a map?
