Hey um, if you have the courtesy to pull up a fiery topic like this, could you at least be punctual? DMR vs. BR is how it should be.

Now, I do not want to hear people complaining that Forge is bad, or Forge World needs to come back, what I am here is to let you know how you can improve your confidence in the Forge mode. First things first, managing your Forge files. Always name your Forge files. If you Forge so many maps unnamed, you will find your self buried in Impacts. A safe way to make sure that you can find your map would be to name it something creative and easy to distinguish. Now, most people are sometimes mad when they try to open a map file, and it reads that they are opening a different variant of another map. This indicates that your file has been corrupted. A safe way to have your files protected would to have two of every file. This means that if one of the files are corrupted, you can always use the backup. The second point I want to get to is actually using the Forge. Tired of playing third party custom games that have flawed architecture? Well, if you don't like it, then you shouldn't make maps like that yourself. The first thing you should ever do when you enter Forge is press B, change Rotation Snap to 15 degrees, then scroll down to Magnets and turn them on to low. Now using the Forge, improvising may work for brainstorming and drafting, but your final product must show balance. This means that symmetrical maps are more balanced than asymmetrical maps. Speaking of the devil, when placing pieces, make sure you coordinate your pieces via Edit Coordinates (Press B then A), or that they are connected to Magnets. This will add professional measurement to your maps. Now on to Custom Games, when you desire a complex goal in your gametype, such as Battleship, or Monster Trucks, you must make the map flaw proof. If a single flaw were to be exploited in your map, anyone would abuse it. For instance, if my map was set on an open plain, and there was no walls or boundaries, someone could walk away from the game, and this would prove useful during Flood, but just because it is useful, does not mean that it is designated. The key element to a map is it's operation. What is your map's purpose? Is it a fortress to fight off the Flood? Is it a war ground for Mantis'? Add decor and design to your structures, so that they can shine and add flavor. Choice of map might concern you that are new to Forge. If you want a map that you can create a team war out of, definitely don't pick Erosion. If you are looking for interesting tunneling and large space, choose Impact. If you are looking for a map that involves making a city, I would choose Ravine. It depends on your purpose, and never underestimate the amount of space you need. In conclusion of the longest page on my screen, if you have an idea, go for it. It is better safe then sorry, so copy your files and flaw proof your maps. Never bias a map so that one team is more dominant than the other, and most importantly of all, there is a such thing as too big.

I thoughts about the game: The campaign was good, but it will be hard to compromise a sequel after what happens in the end. I like the multiplayer, but they have a bad ranking/playlist system. Forge is good, except that they again, failed to allow flat natural surfaces. The magnets are sometimes useful, other times they aren't. The weapons are perfect in my opinion, except that the plasma grenade seems to overpowered. The Storm Rifle needs more range, and Flood is kind of too...let's just say that bulltrue is no longer possible...

This completely changes the fact that the ideal was borrowed from MW2's Spec Ops. In Spec Ops, if you died, Mission Failure. If you die here, o-o-oh okay, that's strange...I respawned, hmmm... This seems different from Spec Ops in a way... Unless I turned on a skull, oh wait there's no skulls, hmmm...

Who are you exactly reaching out to when you say this? Like every other game doesn't have egg-heads that actually calculate this stuff....

Calm the pigeon down, people, listen to my prophet words: nobody cares! So what, Weapon X is better than Weapon Y, then why the pigeon are you using the Weapon Y? It is pretty obvious that the only reason Company X wants the damage higher on the Weapon X is so that they can get inside your head and destroy your hatred for it over the Weapon Y, So why not succumb? That's the real question! Note: I refuse to specify names so that this post can reflect on any game, and on any weapon.

Didn't they base their servers off the same format as the Bungie ones? I don't see how such an error is possible if they did. If they didn't make their servers like Bungie's then they are a pigeon for feedback.

The XBOX 720 is rumored to have a 16 core processor...Looks like this is the intersection point for the console wars...

CQC from Halo: Reach looks like a rhino's anus maximus compared to Halo 4's HAZOP.

I think Treyarch has their first taste of real "positive" feedback now...

Um, for those of you who want the JFO helmet, you already can. It's called Defender. Well um, no. Defender is the closest thing to JFO, in fact it's on my signature.

The point is, anyone, of any age, of any intelligence, of any gender, and of any rudeness can play Call of Duty.

Someone earlier had a point, If you remove the words "Call of Duty" or "Black Ops" from the title of a Call of Duty and published it, nobody would effing buy the dead pigeon in an Xbox 360 case...

A Perfect Reformed War Games System In Mind...
Flippant Sol replied to Flippant Sol's topic in Halo 4
With change, comes change. It's that simplex, and so I combined Flood and Rumble Pit, Grifball and Action Sack, and Double Teams and Triple Teams were combined into Multi Teams. By the way, does anyone like the "Join Custom Games" system I implemented? -

Are you dumb? Why didn't you put any spoiler alert? And guess what? 343 Industries has no affiliation with this website. Their official website is http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/. This is a COMMUNITY based forum. Never mind, I see it now... -
How Do I Access My File Share On The Computer? I've looked everywhere on http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/ and I don't see a Halo 4 File Browser button, nor do I see a Halo 4 Files Share button.
