SatanicBagels

Many may have noticed that I haven't been very active these past two weeks. I have been pretty busy in my real life and don't really have time to get on anymore. I'll use this hiatus to announce my departure from these forums. I will not be departing from Xbox Live, however, so expect to see me at playdates and the occasional Custom Game Nights still. It's been a joy being a part of these forums and I do hope that I can return to them sometime in the future. ~ Goodbye ~

If anybody here hasn't seen it, THFE did a little piece on Nazi Zombies.

I agree with all of your points. Complex is a terrible map more suited to casual gameplay. The spawns are awful when used in conjunction with Long Range Weaponry and instant respawning... The middle of the map is very camp heavy (boltshot makes it worse)... The one sides spawn has absolutely no cover on it... and a lot of the structures aren't utilized to their full potential due to the way the map flows and how big the map is for 4v4 playlists. Not very impressed with 343i's job on this map. PS: One really gets a feel for how bad the spawns are on this map when they play it in SWAT. Why this map is in the rotation for SWAT is beyond me.

343i does care about us as we are the people who decide whether they make money or not.

Personally I think that the Didact is alive based upon the idea that 343i wouldn't kill of such a major and undeveloped antagoist so simply. In the same way that it was not left clear as to whether 343i guilty spark was alive at the end of Halo CE (a very unlikely event at the time) and whether or not Cortana would be found after Halo 2 (I think we all thought she would come up sooner or later) I think that they will keep the Didact for at least one more, and perhaps both, of the next two games. 1. We barely even got to learn about the Didact as a character and antagonist before Chief sent him falling in Halo 4. Even with the terminals I'm struggling to comprehend how that could be enough fleshing out to kill off his role in the Halo franchise. 2. We've seen some of the forerunners almost supernatural powers in the past and I think that it is likely that he would be a powerful enough dude to survive the grenade blast. If he survived the grenade blast in time then he could escape getting composed in several different ways. 3. Adversely I'd like to explore the possibility that the Didact actually did get composed... Could we be fighting a Composed Didact in Halo 5???

DAMN Straight...

I'm a lot more in support of removing the DMR and forcing everyone to use the BR. On longer maps such as Complex this would drastically increase the amount of skill required.

As somebody who has played this on many different occasions and with many different groups of people I can comment on how fun it is to play. Create the gametype and load it up on Ragnarok and you are good to go. I haven't tried it on any of the other maps but if anyone ever does I'd love any opinions on it. I think that Vortex or Exile could be pretty fun.

Given the current state of RvB... I wouldn't do anything It would be cool to do a few of the Achievement Horse Episodes with them though.

I would absolutely die laughing if some moderator made your wish come true.

If the Sniper Rifle was a default loadout weapon then everybody would use Sniper + DMR + Firepower. There would be no variety or diversity among loadout choices I think you should just wait for them to inevitably bring back Team Snipers.

Just out of curiosity does anybody else remember playing the REAL Infection in the Halo 2 era. Foundation and the Zombie Mode gametype with a bunch of friends lead to endless hours of fun and laughs. Even without all the indepth features and new gametype options I still think that this is 10,000 times more fun than Halo 4's flood mode.

They took a great classic gametype that has been in MM since Halo 3, but was ultimately played first via honor rules in Halo 2, and dumbed it down. They made it too hard for the humans. The Flood lunge in combination with the thruster pack is absolutely insane. The flood not being a single headshot kill is also another huge problem. Overall I was very disappointed with the way that 343i handled Infection in Halo 4. It had so much potential, but in 343i's hands it was a colossal flop.

I'm pulling for the Niners!!!

tl;dr Just kidding. Very interesting and congratz again on gettin MoM.

Congratz Red! This thread is no lie. Your posts are certainly something amazing.

My opinion with this is simple. They shouldn't change gun control laws but rather should change the environment to where these massacring maniacs can no longer go into a school unopposed and such. These criminals know that they can do whatever they want at schools because there is no system in place to stop them. I think the way to go would be to station full time police in the schools (and maybe even giving them access to shotguns or "assault weapons"). Also I don't think that it is correct to counter one evil (school shootings) with another evil (ban on guns). Let's be honest here someone could go into a school with ANY kind of gun and inflict an unacceptable number of casualties. Any regulation on any type of weapons is a slippery slope. In 3 years they'll be calling for the complete ban of all firearms all together. Though I do think that this topic hasn't been posted on here before for good reason. Passionate Americans simply will not be able to discuss such a polemical topic in a quiet manner... I know that it's hard for me too...

You've always made some detailed and persuasive posts. Though they may have received hate from a lot of different members of these forums I can't say they didn't play an integral role in the everyday running of this site. I can't say I disagree with some of your opinions about Halo 4. I do hope you will give the franchise another try when Halo 5 is released. I'm sure the community would love to have you back should Halo 5 fix many of Halo 4's errors.

I'd love a tournament like this for me to get the floor wiped with. Good idea. I strongly support this endeavor :3
