Before the flame begins,i was thinking today why all the other halo's except Halo 3 all were unpleasing to play since CE.Not counting for the fact of glitches and OP needler daul weilding,auto-aim.The mere fact it was made for more mainstream audience wasn't the issue.It was the fact that everyone who sucked at CE complained about the pistol.It changed everything.CE was the most balanced Halo and still is.You spawn with a weapon that you can defend yourself with in any situation if your better than your opponet you will come on top.Every weapon had its purpose of depending on the user.Shotgun could take down pistol close range,sniper long etc.Rockets were the only brain dead weapon and they balanced it with long reload time and capacity,but in Halo 2 you spawned with the BR a much dumbed down version and thus brought the beginning of power weapon whoring."I was the first one there so i get more kills then you." doesn't sounds like your really the better player(Lol sword one hit kills that has a homing range on red)Every Halo has followed this collapse.It's sad.I wondered how much the game would have been better if they just re-skinned the pistol as a BR and THEN put that sorry excuse for a secondary pistol that they did in Halo 2.Halo 2 ruined the game because you will always bee short-handed in most situation then being able to defend yourself in all of them.The only weapon that didn't get alot of love was the AR,but it was the best camping weapon next to the shotgun.You might say Halo 2 sold more copies and had XBL...but so what.

Halo has a better story,it's overall better.However,its competitive and fun factors are gone.At least playing COD blackops 2 i can have alot more fun.Ordnance,random map spawns (Can't tell you how many times i've spawned in front of rockets at the very beginning of a match) and some of the armor abilities have ruined it for me.I don't enjoy it.It doesn't matter if i win or lose.That is really sad for me to say.I've been a Halo fan since all those years ago in 2001.343 need to understand.Halo CE and Halo 3 were the best for a reason.

Are you kidding me Halo CE to Halo 2 was a horrid change.Soo many glitches that were completely unbalanced.It is Halo:N00b edition in so many ways.Halo 2 ruined the franchise for a while.It was so popular because it brough Halo to the mainstream so it was alot of peoples first Halo game and it was the first Halo to have xbox live...again..if you thought the boltshot was bad.Halo 2 XBL was the definition of broken.

Nope Halo CE remake should of happened in anniversary.I would welcome Halo 2 if they did it properly the original multiplayer horrible for competitive online and offline.I got tired of people glitching out of the map,standbying and daul weilding needler was more annoying than the boltshot ever will be...the halo 2 needler period.Lets not forget how n00btastic the auto-aim was.The bolt**** just needs the reload glitch taken out and more strict timing and it would be ok, i think.

How the hell do you get Halo 4 fileshare?

The Didact is immune to the Composer sir so he can't be digitized.Also there was no cure for the flood ever! it was discovered that the flood can choose who they infect.The humans just thought that they found a cure.Look it up.In the latest book by Greg Bear it is revealed that the flood is a test and the cure was a lie.Yes the flood were a big part of the lore,however it's called the Reclaimer trilogy,It's obvious they are focusing on the expanded universe more.There is so much to fit in with the precurors,forerunner,and ancient humans.Did you ever read the Greg Bear novels? they are still going and they way too much stuff to cover and adding the flood would be trying to clump to much at one time.Of course 343 seems to be cutting the story short and not going into great detail,but im just speculating that they are saving some for the next two games.Not my choice? no it's not,but i've been a Halo fan since 2001 and read all the books to this day and i was personally giving my opinion that the flood would not FEEL right for this trilogy,we NEED something new.For the longevity of the series.Some people would like it,but i know alot would hate it.It's a risky move from a business stand point as well.People would say Halo is unoriginal and couldn't do anything else.It would honestly look that way to alot of people and they are kind of right.Remember this is Halo, if its success contuines we will probably see another trilogy after this one.There it would be good for humans just recieving the mantle and finally putting an end to the flood completely on remaining installations,there it would make sense and Microsoft are still going to put out Halo games if it makes them more money than they can flush down the toilet.I agree i want to see the flood return...but not now.Also there was no cure for the flood ever! it was discovered that the flood can choose who they infect.The humans just thought that they found a cure.Look it up.In the latest book by Greg Bear it is revealed that the flood is a test and it was a lie.

I think the Warthog is realistic for the game.It sounds almost like a race car,but less rumble.The Warthog engine is hydrogen injected,its not like its gasoline or diesel.Beam rifle,AR and the Mantis are my favorite sounds in the game for sure.

Uhm...No matter how much he returns it isn't like he is going to get his money back.Do you think places like Gamestop or anywhere for that matter is going to refund everything? yeah right...c'mon it was Halo 4.5 years since we've seen the Master Chief.I spend almost that much money,alot of people did and i don't blame them.If your any kinf od Halo fan you dished out alot of money for this game.It was Halo 4..and it was disappionting.I won't be pre-ordering Halo 5 and i will wait to i can do enough research if it will be good or not so it will not happen again.343 got me this time.You aren't alone thats for sure.

Hmm.I was looking into this and Theatre doesn't even show any of my games anymore...they are all missing.

You didn't get banned for this?

Halo3>Halo 4.My tier list of the all the FPS Halo games would be Halo:CE,Halo 3,Halo 4,Halo 2,Halo:Reach.Halo 3 was so beautifully done and honestly it reminded me of the proper sequel to Halo:CE.It felt right and it was the only game next to Halo:CE were i played for days straight living on coffee and ramen.It's more balanced than Halo 4 and more competitive.I am not going to say Halo 3 had better playlist because Halo 4 is so young.

Here i would like to hear other peoples strategies that they use.What loadout you use and why.What gametypes you play and maps it seems to be most successful. Primary Weapon:DMR Secondary Weapon:Magnum Grenade:Pulse Grenade Armor Ability:Regeneration Field Tactical Package:Shielding Support Package:Dexterity This is my main loadout.It is designed to win gunfights.I use it very defensively and always make sure i'm around cover to put myself into a good position so i can use my armor ability.Regeneration Field can give you a big advantage if you practice with it and learn when to use it accordingly.Its start-up is very slow and easily punishabe.I play mosty Infinity Slayer,King of the Hill, and Dominion.Sometimes when i feel like going all out i will dip into some Team Slayer Pro,but of course this does not apply.It seems to do really well on Adrift,Complex and Abandon.Haven seems a bit too aggressive for this loadout.I find i rarely am able to deploy my AA successfully.I try not to play Haven often,but i do i always use this loadout below. Primary Weapon:DMR Secondary Weapon:Assault Rifle Grenade:Frag Grenade Armor Ability:Jet Pack Tactical Package:Firepower Support Package:Dexterity It's just a more aggressive loadout that takes the advantage of the jet packs mobility and to switch from your long/medium range to close range weapon.Very straight forward.

I don't know if this is the right place to post,but is there anyway to change the Mantis aesthetically to make them look differant from each other,but i know you can change the certain one for a team color however it does change the look.Is there anything i could do for that?

You don't call being abducted and forced into the military under a top secret project comissioned? =P

This post is legit.Team Snipers=Sniper,Magnum and motion sensor.Sniper pro=no motion sensor or magnum.

The XP cap is dumb.If people want to ruin the game for themselves let them,its the players freedom to do so.It doesn't really give them any major advantage to destroy everyone.Each their own is how i see it.

As long as its better than Halo 4.

People are just going to not play the objective and kill each other because everyone wants slayer lone wolves.Good job 343...get with the program.Lone wolves,team doubles etc. need to happen.

No offense,but i won't be taking driving lessons from a drunk irishmen.

I dont even aim with this weapon and usually get a double kill...

I still cant believe its that far in the future and weapon systems like that are still used...over 500 years in the future.Look at what humans did in 100 years.

Don't buy the fact?...the fact has been proven.Have you read the Forerunner Saga?

Are you kidding me? MC had to disobey the order,he knew what he was doing.Master chief in real life is higher rank than captain anyways..Del Rio is an idiot only thinking about his crew and not humanity.

It wouldn't make sense for the flood to return.Yes there could be more on the remaining Halo arrays,but this is supposed to be a new trilogy entirely and it would take too much out of the story,We could be learning something about the reclaimer trilogy but instead they put past enemies in and would have to explain everything.It would be too much to try and all fit it with everything.I love fighting against the flood,it was intense,but that was then its time to move on.It ended with Halo 3 for a reason.I'm a fanyboy as much as anyone,but i know for the sake of the series they need to stay gone.343i need to tweak the promeathean encounters is the only problem with the new enemy class.

Halo 3 legendary they were pretty smart....and annoying..
